Samuel accepted the plate, his lips twitching when he glimpsed the word written on the slice of cake.
He then fixed his gaze on Kathleen.
Kathleen was sitting next to Diana and having a delightful conversation with the latter.
From the way Diana beamed with joy, one could tell she was genuinely happy.
Samuel remained silent as he saw that.
Calvin nudged him with his shoe. “Stop looking. She’s not yours anymore.”
“Dad, do you think making fun of me is interesting?” Samuel ate the cake even though he did not enjoy
desserts.
The reason was simple—Kathleen had given it to him.
“Mull it over. If it weren’t for you, my grandchildren would be calling me Grandpa by now.” Calvin felt
depressed when he brought up the issue.
Whenever he was reminded of that, he felt like hitting Samuel.
It was not an easy feat to be pregnant with twins.
Yet, the children were gone.
Samuel did not say a word.
Losing the children was the biggest regret in both Kathleen and his life.
It was also a traumatic experience for the Macari family.
If the children were still alive, Samuel would already be hearing them calling him “Daddy.”
Not long after, Charles came over.
He greeted Diana and the rest nicely. However, Samuel did not receive the same treatment.
Despite that, Samuel was not bothered by Charles’ attitude.
His family members were always being mean to him anyway.
The celebration ended when everyone had the cake.
As Kathleen prepared to leave, Diana was not willing to let her go.
She held Kathleen’s hands and said, “When you’re done with shooting, come over and stay with me for a
few days, will you?”
“Sure.” Kathleen nodded. “Old Mrs. Macari, I will. I promise you.”
I’m a man with elegance. If she’s coming to stay over, I—

Hearing that, Samuel was at a loss for words.
Kathleen was flushed.
“Goodbye, Old Mrs. Macari. See you, Mr. and Mrs. Macari,” she said.
“See you again. Be careful on the way back,” Diana reminded.
Soon, both Kathleen and Charles left the place.
After sending Kathleen off, Diana narrowed her eyes at Samuel. “I had wondered what motivated you to
attend the event, Samuel. Don’t tell me you had no idea Kate would be joining the competition today!”
“So what if I had? It’s all part of my plan to get Kathleen back,” Samuel coldly responded.
“How shameless! You’re the one who lost yourself when Nicolette returned. Not that just, but you even
forced Katie to divorce you within three days!” Diana fumed.
Samuel did not say a word.
Don’t even mention that matter again. I regret what I’ve done.
“Katie and Christopher are not together now, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible between them. Don’t
be arrogant. There’s no way to tell who Katie will choose at the end!” Diana coldly responded.
“That’s right! Now, you’ve finally realized how good Kate is. Just what were you even thinking back
then?” Wynnie uttered angrily.
After saying that, she led Diana back to her room.
Calvin approached Samuel with a grin.
“If you’re going to say the same thing as them, save your breath,” Samuel said indifferently.
“Is this how you speak to your father? I was about to say I want to help you!” Calvin was frustrated.
Samuel said coldly, “I’m not expecting any good plans from you.”
“Fine! I won’t help you then! You’re an insensible guy. Despite how adorable you were when you were
young, I feel like kicking you in the butt now,” Calvin fumed.
With a frown, Samuel questioned, “Any ideas?”
“I refuse to tell you. I want to piss you off!” Calvin was a man with character.
Although he did not dare to be mad at Wynnie, he did not hold himself back when speaking to Samuel.
“Dad?” Samuel said in exasperation.
“Don’t call me that!” Calvin drank his coffee.
“Do you still want to have a grandchild?” Samuel frowned.
Calvin put down the cup. “I would have gotten my grandchildren if it weren’t for you!”
“Without me, you won’t even have the chance to have grandchildren,” Samuel responded indifferently.
Calvin snorted.
“I will be leaving now if you refuse to talk.” Samuel picked up his jacket.
“Stop right there!” Calvin approached. With a deep voice, he responded, “The appearance of Astrid was
all it took to find out whether Kathleen and Christopher had serious feelings for each other. Do you know
what that means?”
“What?” Samuel put on his jacket.
Calvin spoke seriously. “In some relationships, you can only tell if you truly love someone when a third
wheel appears. Do you think I can’t tell Kate has a small spark of affection for Christopher? Although that
spark isn’t enough for her to pursue an intimate relationship, they would have gotten together if it weren’t
for Astrid’s presence.”
Samuel remained silent.
Calvin added, “Astrid’s presence cleared things up for Kate, causing her to be aware that she doesn’t like
Christopher that way. If she had, nothing Astrid did would have changed that.”
“What are you trying to say?” Samuel was not sure why Calvin was telling him all these.
Is he trying to upset me?
“You’re so dumb. Let me ask you. Why do you think Kate chose to marry you even though she knew you
liked Nicolette?” Calvin questioned.
“Because she was fond of me,” Samuel responded.
“Bingo. Kate was not bothered by the fact that you liked Nicollete because of her deep love for you,”
Calvin replied. He subtly implied, “To know what she’s feeling for you now, you just have to find another
woman to test the waters. With that, you may find something out.”
A frown marred Samuel’s countenance.
“Think about it. You will never gain anything in life if you don’t take risks.” Calvin patted Samuel’s
shoulder.
As soon as he finished his words, he strode out of the room.
Samuel fell silent.

After that, he furrowed his brows and left.
Once he was gone, Wynnie came out from the corner and returned to her room.
“What kind of stupid scheme did you just give our son?” Wynnie fumed.
Calvin frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Kate doesn’t like Samuel at the moment. It’s hard to tell, but she might feel better knowing he is seeing
another woman,” Wynnie worriedly said.
In a serious manner, he asked, “Darling, is that what you really think?”
“What do you mean?” She was puzzled.
“I can tell Kate still has feelings for Samuel.” Calvin loosened his tie before continuing, “Previously, Kate
mentioned she would be with Samuel if he broke both Nicolette’s legs. However, he failed to do so, and
she left. Now, Kate knows Samuel did what she wanted, and it’s even causing him trouble. Do you think
she could bear the guilt of that?”
Wynnie was stunned as she heard that.
Calvin went on, “We both know Kate’s character well. Do you think she actually wanted Samuel to break
Nicolette’s legs? All Kate wanted to see was his attitude, and his response disappointed her. However,
now she knows he had fulfilled her request, and Nicolette is pressing charges. Do you think she will
stand by and do nothing?”
His wife kept quiet.
“One of Kate’s strengths is her kindness. However, that’s also her weakness. She’s too kind. It’s only a
matter of time before Samuel succeeds in wooing her back.” Calvin narrowed his eyes.
“I think you’re being optimistic.” With a meaningful look, Wynnie responded, “Even if she still has feelings
for him, there’s no way to undo the damages. Kate will not be able to accept Samuel another time.”
“You want to bet on that?” Calvin broke into a wide smile.
“On what terms?” she asked.
“If both of them reunite, promise me to put your work at the law firm aside temporarily and travel the
world with me. If they don’t, or either one of them is involved in a new relationship, you can be on top and
ride on me.” Calvin grinned.
