Chapter 389 Anyone Would Have Done The Same “Those are meant for you, anyway.” Samuel’s voice was hoarse.
“I’ll pay you,” replied Kathleen.
“You don’t have to.” He shook his head. “But I’m going to wear them for the date with Ryder.” The
woman’s bright eyes met with his. Samuel was stumped. “So let me pay you.
If not, it’d feel odd,” came Kathleen’s implicit remark. Samuel lowered his head.
“Just wear them.
Since I bought them for you, you can wear them as you wish.”
After saying that, he walkedpast her. “Thank you.
You’re such a kind person.” Kathleen grinned. Samuel was rendered speechless. I don’t want you to
take me as just akind person! After that, Kathleen went to freshen herself up. She took a light-yellow
dress out of the closet. The dress had a square neckline that would reveal her collarbone.
It was a sleeveless piece, and the hem of the dress was slightly above the knee.
The overall style was fresh and youthful. When Kathleen came out wearing that dress, Samuel was
completely stunned by that sight.
Of course, he knewbetter than anyone else how fair she was. Alas, she dressed up so beautifully only
to date another man. Samuel felt he was on the verge of losing his mind. She certainly knows how to
torture me. “I’m leaving,” said Kathleen before leaving. Samuel gulped and turned to look out of the
window. Ryder had come to pick Kathleen up, and he parked his car right at the entrance. Kathleen left
the house and got into Ryder’s car.
Shortly after, the two left. Samuel started coughing all of a sudden.
The injury he had suffered was no match for the pain he felt at this moment.
Hisface paled in mere seconds. He took his phone and called Tyson.
“Go find out where Kathleen and Ryder are going for their date.”
Tyson was startled.
“Mrs.
Macari and Mr.
Xenakis are going on a date?”
“Cut the crap.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGo!” Samuel ordered sternly. “Yes.” Tyson immediately hung up the phone. Wearing a grim look,
Samuel called the butler.
“Help me get changed and call the Macari residence.
Tell them I’m picking the kids up.” The butler was shocked.
“Mr.
Macari, are you still going out even when you’re injured?” “Yes.
Go get ready.” Samuel nodded. “All right.” The butler dared not go against his wish, so he could only do
as Samuel instructed.
Samuel’s charming face grewmore solemn. I wonder what Kathleen and Ryder are doing now. As soon
as Ryder saw Kathleen, his lips curled into a grin. Kathleen got into the car.
“Mr.
Xenakis, aren’t you going to start the car?” Ryder started the engine.
“Where are we going?” Kathleen asked curiously.
“We’re going to a resort, andit’s located on the outskirts of the city.
It’s a resort invested by one of my business partners.
They’re having their soft opening today, so they told me to pay a visit.
That’s why I thought of bringing you there to relax for a bit.”
Kathleen nodded at his explanation.
It seems like the date is pretty different from what I expected.
“They have malls and places for movies there.
I bet you will like it,” Ryder said confidently as though he could read her mind.
Kathleen felt alittle embarrassed.
“I wasn’t expecting too much, actually.” “But I can tell you’ve put in a lot of effort in dressing up.”
The man flashed her a half-smile, and Kathleen responded with a faintsmile.
“I’m merely wearing a bright-colored dress.” In truth, she did not even put on makeup and had only
applied lipstick. Even so, she already looked exceptionally stunning. Ryder chuckled.
“I heard that Mr.
Macari is injured.
Is he okay?”
“Not really.
It’s still hard to tell if his hand could recover fully.
Even after he recovers, it’s not necessarily that he could still use his hand as he did in the past,” said
Kathleen, shaking her head.
“What a pity.” Ryder’s gaze darkened.
Kathleens lightly clenched her hand.
“He wouldn’t have gotten hurt if he hadn’t tried to save me.”
Ryder gave her a meaningful look.
“Don’t blame yourself.
No one wished for this to happen.
Under such circumstances, I would’ve done the same to protect you if I were there.”
Kathleen stared at him without saying a word.
“Anyone else would’ve done the same,” Ryder explained.
Anyone else would’ve done the same? Kathleen looked out of the window.
To Samuel, maybe there is no such saying. An hour later, they finally arrived at the resort.
The resort was lively and bustling with people.
It was obvious that they had just started the business. Ryder parked the car and said to her, “It’s their
soft opening today, so there are not too many people.
There will also be some reporters around, but of course, I’ll not make you go in front of the cameras.”
Kathleen went into a daze for a moment before she snapped back to her senses.
“Okay.” Then, they got out of the car together. It was a sunny day.
Kathleen’s fair skin seemed like it was glowing under the soft daylight.
Even though she had a fair complexion, she did not look sickly.
Her skin was slightly pinkish, and she looked just like a peach.
Ryder’s gaze grew darker.
He held an umbrella over Kathleen’s head. Kathleen froze for a second before replying, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.
This way,” said Ryder, grinning. “Okay.” Then, she followed Ryder to the reception.
“Mr.
Xenakis, you’re here.” A man clad in a suit walked over.
“Of course, I’ll have to pay a visit since you’ve invited me over. ”After flashing the man a grin, Ryder
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsaid to Kathleen, “Let me introduce him to you.
He’s my business partner, Leonard Sullivan.” Looking at Leonard, Kathleen greeted, “Mr.
Sullivan, nice to meet you.” Leonard was so startled that he cursed inwardly.
D*mn it! It’s Kathleen! Why would she come with Ryder?
“Nice to meet you, too,” came Leonard’s reply.
When Ryder called Leonard the night before, the latter had thought that Ryder was bringing someone
else over.
Leonard would not have expected him to come with Kathleen. Leonard had even prepared a room for
Ryder, thinking that the latter could spend a pleasant time with his partner. Judging by the situation
now, he would better forget about it. As compared to Ryder, Samuel was the one Leonard could not
afford to offend. Leonard then instructed his assistant, “Go get the two key cards I’ve prepared for Mr.
Xenakis.” Two cards? His assistant immediately caught the hint. Soon, his assistant brought the key
cards over.
Leonard handed one to Ryder and another one to Kathleen.
“You can just tell them your room number when you’re spending here.
There’s no need to pay.” “Thank you.” Ryder accepted the card. Naturally, Kathleen took the card the
card, too.
“Thank you.” “I’ll get someone to bring you there.” Leonard was welcoming them warmly.
The staff then brought them to the resorts.
Kathleen and Ryder were staying indifferent resorts, but the buildings were right next to each other.
After they left for their rooms, Leonard instantly called Samuel.
Despite his relatively calm tone, he sounded like he was gloating over Samuel’s misfortune.
“Mr.
Macari, your woman followed Ryder to my resort here.” Samuel wore a deadpan expression.
“I’m on my way there.” “Didn’t you say you’re not coming to join the fun?” Leonard shivered for a bit.
“Doyou think I’m heading there just to join the fun?” Samuel questioned apathetically. “It doesn’t seem
like it.” Leonard was full of guilt all of a sudden. “I brought Eil and Desi along.” Samuel looked down at
the two children sitting next to him.
“I’ll be there soon.” He ended the call as soon as he finished his words.
Leonard stroked his chin as he pondered over Samuel’s words.
As expected from Samuel.
He truly has a knack for winning his wife’s heart.
He’s bringing the kids over.
