Kathleen pursed her lips quietly.
Yvette was fuming. “We didn’t scold her. All we did was say a few words of truth.”
Coldly, Samuel remarked, “What truth could possibly come out of the mouths of dogs like you?”
Yvette was rendered speechless while Sandra froze.
“Mr. Macari, we know that she’s the third person who took Nicolette’s spot.” Yvette reminded, “Isn’t Nicolette your true love?”
Samuel’s eyes were glazed with a layer of frost. “Who do you think you are to have the audacity to say that you know who my true love is? It seems to me that the two of you are courting death.”
Yvette was stunned. Is Nicolette not Samuel’s true love? What does he mean?
Kathleen stared at the two sisters icily.
“Sam, do you really not remember this woman anymore?” inquired Kathleen as she lifted a finger to point at Sandra.
“Nope.” Samuel added disgustedly, “Why would I remember a random woman? I’m your man; can’t you be a little jealous?”
Sandra and Yvette were thunderstruck.
D-Did Samuel just say all that? How could he say such things?
“You don’t like them anyway, so why should I be jealous?” Kathleen found his question to be very confusing.
Samuel was displeased by her words.
“Do you really not have any impression of her?” asked Kathleen once more.
“No. Isn’t it annoying to ask this again and again? I only have eyes for you,” clarified Samuel, who was afraid of answering wrongly.
However, to be fair, he did indeed forget who Sandra was.
Kathleen turned to look at Sandra, whose face was pale as a sheet, and said flatly, “You spent so much effort back then, but he doesn’t even remember your name in the end. What a pity.”
At that, Sandra’s face became even paler.
“Kathleen, don’t cross the line,” fumed Yvette.
“I crossed the line?” Kathleen mocked, “It was you who insulted me first, saying that I’m a homewrecker b*tch. There’re surveillance cameras here; should we check the footage?”
Yvette felt guilty.
Kathleen coldly eyed Sandra. “I warned you just now that you should hold your sister back. Since you did not heed my words, don’t blame me for taking action.”
The latter panicked. “Kathleen, don’t you dare!”
“Sandra, why’re you scared of her?” The tactless Yvette added fuel to the flames. “She’s just a homewrecker who monopolizes the fact that she’s an orphan to garner sympathy and snatch someone else’s man. How shameless!”
Sandra wished she could slap her sister there and then. Shut up!
Kathleen sneered, turned to Samuel, and asked, “Sam, do you remember Wynnie throwing you a birthday party at home when you were twenty, and a lot of your coursemates were invited?”
The latter nodded with a frosty expression. “Yes. I was drunk that time.”
“That’s right.” Kathleen glanced at Sandra and went on, “This woman snuck into your room and wanted to take off your clothes.”
The blood instantly drained from Sandra’s face.
Samuel knitted his brows. “What did you say?”
Kathleen replied, “I saw it with my own eyes. It was I who stopped her. Otherwise, the person whom you would be married to right now would be her.” With a sigh, she continued, “I really regret stopping her.”
“Shut up,” commanded Samuel unhappily.
“You’re lying!” Yvette exclaimed in shock. “My sister would never do that!”
“She even knelt in front of me that time. In fact, I have footage of what happened. Do you want to take a look?” said Kathleen icily.
Yvette was stupefied.
“This matter was initially over long ago, but you brought this upon her.” Kathleen’s tone was gentle yet freezing cold. “It’s too bad that she has a sister like you who causes her trouble.”
“That’s impossible!” Yvette shook her head hard. “You b*tch—Ah!”
Sandra slapped her before the latter could even finish her words.
“Stop f*cking causing me problems!” Sandra was so livid that her insides hurt.
What would happen if the Sullivan family found out about this?
Yvette was dumbfounded by her sister’s action.
Kathleen snickered. “Sandra, I’m speechless about your sister. I’ve reminded you time and time again, and you’ve told her repeatedly as well, but she insists on making me angry. Does she hold a grudge against you? Or is she envious of you, so she’s destroying you on purpose?”
Sandra’s face was black as thunder as she eyed Yvette, who felt wronged as she cried, “Sandra, I’m not jealous of you! Really!”
Sandra harrumphed. “Shut it!”
Yvette unhappily lowered her head.
Looking at Kathleen, Sandra said, “It’s my fault for not educating my sister properly.”
“Did you not educate her properly or did you merely decide to use her as your weapon?” retorted Kathleen expressionlessly. “If you had restrained her sternly, to begin with, I wouldn’t have exposed what happened. You brought this upon yourself.”
Sandra bit her lip.
“Sandra, I’ve never been one to be bullied so easily,” Kathleen added stonily.
It’s just that I love Samuel too much.
“I’m sorry.” Sandra had no choice but to apologize.
After that, she dragged Yvette along and left.
The store returned to its usual peaceful state.
Samuel stared at Kathleen, who casually asked, “Why’re you looking at me like that?”
Are you surprised at how I behaved?
“It’s nothing,” answered Samuel in a low voice. “I just thought that I should get to know you properly.”
Such a tiny, dainty girl, yet she’s so feisty when it comes to teaching people a lesson. This is a side of her that I’ve never seen before. I knew that she wasn’t as weak and demure as she seemed.
“Take your time then,” said Kathleen.
Samuel could not resist the urge to pinch her face. “So, you did it to protect me back then?”
Kathleen merely gave a humph.
With a frown, Samuel went on, “I remember that I had had too much to drink then, so I went back to my room to rest. In a daze, I kissed someone.”
The woman’s ears reddened. “Is that so?”
“I can confirm that it wasn’t Sandra, and it’s impossible for it to be Nicolette.” Samuel gazed at Kathleen deeply and asked, “So, it was you?”
“N-No,” responded Kathleen in awkwardness.
“I remember that kiss tasted of peaches.” Samuel pinched her chin and said, “Back then, I remember a little peach telling me that she loved eating this type of candy the most.”
Kathleen stiffened up. “I-I thought that you had already forgotten about that.”
Samuel’s face darkened. “I didn’t forget it, but I did think that it was a dream.”
He had always assumed that was the case, so the matter was buried at the bottom of his heart.
Back then, he had not begun dating Nicolette yet, but he dreamed of Kathleen and even kissing her.
He thought that he was nothing more than a beast.
After all, Kathleen was only seventeen back then.
So, it was really her! My affection for her had already begun a long time ago.
“Let’s go try on the bridal outfits.” Kathleen was worried that he would give her trouble.
“Kathleen, you’re such an idiot,” said Samuel as he pinched her face.
“Why’re you scolding me?” Kathleen felt speechless. “I wasn’t the one who took the initiative. It was you who suddenly grabbed my hand, asked me why I was so sweet, and then… I thought you mistook me for Nicolette.”
Samuel fell silent.
What a huge misunderstanding!
“You’re an idiot.” Samuel exerted more force in his fingers and added, “Of course, I’m one too.”
Kathleen furrowed her brows, not understanding what he meant.
“All right, let’s go try out the clothes.” Samuel held her hand to select wedding dresses.
After getting some things in order, Samuel’s mind became crystal clear.
Back when they first got married, he accepted Kathleen at once for a reason.
The man had already fallen for her before he even realized it.
My sweet peach, I must have you!
