Perfect Marriage with My Substitute Wife

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

Kathleen’s expression darkened after watching the video of Nicolette being hysterical.
Is this real? No! It’s impossible.
She put down the tablet and said to Samuel, “Previously, you’ve deceived me with a fake video as well.”
Thus, I won’t fall for it again.
Giving her a meaningful look, he said, “That was before. But I swear that I have never hidden anything from you since you are
back. Everything that you have seen or known is real.”
She frowned. Should I trust Samuel?
Lowering his head, he put his lips close to her ears. “After all, you’ll be going to the Yoeger residence. Why don’t you check it out
yourself to see whether I’ve lied to you?”
Kathleen moved to the side. “Is it possible not to stand too close to me when you speak?”
He curled his lip. “Why can’t I stand close to you?”
“Because we’re of different genders. That’s why!” she blurted out angrily.
“So what?” Slowly, he frowned. “But this is my ward.”
“It was you who dragged me inside!” she continued with exasperation.
“I’ve forgotten all about it,” he said meaningfully.
Kathleen chuckled out of frustration. “Forgot? Has your brain shrunk? But you’re still young!”
He was at a loss for words.
This young lady sure is... irritating. Although she’s as cute as a ragdoll cat, she is feisty. But that’s good. It’s better for her to
berate me loudly rather than give me the cold shoulder.
“What else do you want to know? I can tell you everything.” He looked at her gently.
“You don’t have to do that.” She turned around to leave.

“Kate, do you love Christopher?” he asked suddenly.
Stopped in her tracks, she turned around and asked, “What do you mean?”
“I was merely asking if you prefer a man like him. Do you?” he asked calmly.
“Who doesn’t like a considerate and thoughtful man?” Having said that, she added sarcastically, “It’ll be better than a man like
you, Mr. Macari, a man who’s arrogant and snobbish. You don’t even care about other people’s feelings. Christopher would be a
perfect lover if compared to you.”
Samuel huffed. “What’s good to have someone who behaves in a mellow way, just like warm water?”
She smirked. “Humph! You’re right, Mr. Macari. I was attracted to your good looks because I was young and ignorant. Moreover,
I had fallen head over heels for your evil and arrogant attitude. After I have experienced a lot of things, I realize how valuable
Christopher’s soft and gentle attitude is.”

Samuel’s handsome and elegant face turned cold.
“I’ve stopped loving you from long ago, Mr. Macari.” Her face became indifferent. “It’s really true. I have mentioned it to you in the
Macari residence before. Now that I’m willing to live peacefully with you, I hope that you can understand it.”
“You’re only willing to cooperate because of Grandma. In the end, you still hate me.” Sullenly, he continued, “Katie, why don’t you
stab me?”
Isn’t it better so that the hatred in her heart can disappear?
“You’ve stabbed yourself before,” she replied calmly. “If I were to disregard the fact that you’re remorseful for the two children, I
would’ve ignored you after I came back.”
Did she know? Did she know everything?
“Why didn’t you come to see me?” Samuel grabbed her shoulder. “If I were dead, wouldn’t you want to see me for the final time?”
Kathleen shook her head. “Why do I need to see you? Samuel, did I ask you to end your life?”
He was the one who was willing to do it.
Samuel put down his hands. His handsome and elegant face turned paler than usual.

I told him that I didn’t hate him anymore. But, at that time, I really wished that he was dead. He looks so disappointed. Why
doesn’t he blame me?
Frightened by the hostility in his eyes, Kathleen retreated a few steps back.
Samuel pulled her back into his arms. While embracing her tightly, he said in a low and magnetic voice, “Kathleen, please hear
what I want to say. I love you. Thus, I want to pursue you again. I won’t force you to do anything because I only want to treat you
better. From now onwards, I won’t lie to you. Not even a single word.”
She was taken aback.
Then, he continued, “I won’t do anything that you don’t like. Also, I won’t do anything that you aren’t satisfied with. As you like a
gentle and considerate man, I’ll try to become one. I can do it better than Christopher.” Then, he pressed his forehead against
her. Gazing at her intently, he said, “Do you understand me?”
She was furious. “Didn’t you say that you won’t force me? But you make it sound like it’s a notice.”
“I don’t care what you think about it.” Nonchalantly, he continued, “Let’s put it aside. The most important thing is how I’ll act, isn’t
it?”
While biting her red lip, Kathleen looked at him sullenly. “Then, release me. You’re forcing me right now.”
Smiling gracefully, Samuel released his hands.
She turned and walked away.
It looked like she was running away from him.
At that moment, Samuel’s phone beeped.
When he lifted it, he noticed that there was a message from Nicolette.
After reading the content, a dangerous glint gleamed in his eyes.
The woman has overestimated herself!

When Kathleen woke up the next day, she saw Charles sitting in front of her bed while reading a book..Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

“Charles, why are you here so early?” She was very inert. “Will I be discharged today?”
“Yes. I’m here to pick you up. I’ll bring you to an audition this afternoon,” he said.
“All right.” Kathleen was relieved to hear it. “Finally, I can get out of the hospital.”
Extending her hand, she wanted to look at her phone. However, she noticed that it was missing.
Baffled, she asked, “Where’s my phone?”
“I’ve accidentally dropped it. It’s broken.” Charles lifted the phone to let her see it.
Looking at the cracks on her screen, she then said, “Even if you sit on it, it wouldn’t be this cracked. It looks more like you had
thrown it out of the window.”
How can her instinct be this accurate?
“You won’t die without your phone. I’ll prepare a new one for you.” Then, he started to urge her. “Wash up quickly. I already told
Valerie to deal with the discharge procedure.”
“Okay.” After getting out of bed, Kathleen went to wash up.
Meanwhile, Charles stared at his phone coldly.
He sent a message to the bodyguards who were waiting downstairs. It seemed like he was making some arrangements.
Indeed, Kathleen didn’t depend much on her phone. Thus, she was unperturbed to find it broken.
As a matter of fact, she didn’t have many friends to stay in contact with. Moreover, Charles would always be there if she wanted
to use money.
After she had cleaned up, she came out of the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Charles had helped her to pack her things.
“Hasn’t Valerie come back?” She blinked.

“I’ve told her to wait for us downstairs after she has finished with the procedure. I’ll pack your stuff for you. Why don’t you change
your clothes?” he said.
“Okay.” She left to change her clothes.
Subsequently, he lifted her bag and dragged her out of her ward.
When they walked past Samuel’s ward, Charles sneaked a peek inside. Then, he pulled her into his arms and pressed her head
on his chest.
“Charles, what are you doing?” Kathleen frowned.
“You’re a huge celebrity. I’m worried that someone might snap a photo of you,” he said meaningfully.
“Why don’t you prepare a hat and face mask for me?” she complained.
“I’m sorry. I was in a hurry, so I forgot. Next time, I’ll remember it.” Wrapping his arms around her, they entered the elevator.
It was only then that he released her.
Immediately, she felt a little strange.
Meanwhile, there were a few uniformed men in Samuel’s ward.
One of the men said darkly, “Mr. Macari, the Yoeger family is suing you for Nicolette’s unlawful imprisonment. Do you admit to
doing it?”
