Chapter 304 All My Fault

On the wedding day, Kathleen was clad in a white wedding gown. Her makeup was light, but it looked delicate and mesmerizing.

However, although she was all smiles, the smile didn’t quite reach her eyes. Frances entered the room and sized Kathleen up.

“You don’t look happy at all.” Kathleen smiled faintly.

“Granny, I am happy.” Frances let out a sigh.

“Granny, Caleb is a great guy.” Kathleen hesitated for a moment before continuing, “After the wedding ceremony, I’ll have to find Charles. He needs my help. I’ve asked for Caleb’s help, and he’ll take care of you.” Frances was shocked.

“You are going to leave?” “Yes. Granny, after Charles and I settle down, we’ll bring you over.”

Frances thought for a moment before nodding. “I know you don’t like this place. It’s okay. I’ve done everything I could for the Yoeger family. What’s left in that family is no longer my business.”

Her energy and health were limited. Kathleen held her hand.

“Granny, I’ll continue to investigate the Yoeger family’s matter.” Frances nodded.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. It was one of the staff members telling them it was time for the ceremony.

“Let’s go.” Frances grabbed Kathleen’s hand. The latter’s hand was slightly cold. It was the second time she had worn a wedding dress, but this time, she didn’t wear it for the person she loved the most.

However, it was just a ceremony, so she did not mind.

As Kathleen walked down the red carpet, everyone gasped in unison when they saw her gorgeous appearance. She was a natural beauty. After she wore the wedding dress, she looked even more elegant and noble.

Standing at the other end of the aisle was Caleb. He was dressed in a white tuxedo, looking dashing. When he saw Kathleen, his dark eyes lit up with amazement. Dragging the long dress with her, Kathleen reached his side and whispered, “Mr. Lewis, the gown you chose tires me out.”

“You don’t like it?” Caleb narrowed his eyes.

“I’ve prepared two sets for you. Do you want to change it?” She shook her head.

“It’s such a waste of money.” Caleb smiled.

“It’s nothing.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“But we’re a fake couple,” she reminded in a low voice. Acting as though he didn’t hear her, he held her hand and turned around to face the priest. The marriage officiant smiled.

“Mr. Caleb Lewis, do you take Ms. Kathleen Johnson to be your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for richer, for poorer, until death do you part?”

“I do.” Caleb’s lips curled into a smile. The priest turned toward Kathleen.

“Ms. Kathleen Johnson, do you take Mr. Caleb Lewis to be your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, until death do you part?” Kathleen looked at the solemn priest.

“I—”

“She does not.” Samuel’s cold, deep voice rang from behind. The crowd gasped. Kathleen clenched her fists. Why is he here? Caleb sneered. As expected, Samuel’s calmness was fake.

He’s been waiting for this moment. Samuel walked over in long, confident strides, his face handsome but frosty. He wore a black tuxedo that fitted him perfectly. Under his fringe, a certain emotion was surging within his deep, cold eyes. Caleb took a step forward, blocking Samuel.

“Samuel, I didn’t invite you, did I?” As Samuel stopped in his tracks, he shot a stern look at Kathleen, bringing chills down her spine. The way he looked at her was as though he wanted to swallow her alive.

“Kathleen, I know why you marry him.” Samuel’s cold voice resonated through the hall.

“You don’t love him.”

“Samuel, please get out of here!” Caleb frowned.

“We don’t welcome you here.” Kathleen stared back at him.

“So what? It’s fine as long as he loves me.” Samuel froze.

“Samuel, stop pestering me,” she continued with a pained expression.

“Can’t you see that I’m suffering because of you?”

“I’ve given you Melting Ice Grass,” Samuel responded gruffly.

“You no longer have to be worried about being threatened by Blissful Sect. You can save your brother. What are you scared of now?” Kathleen bit her lip.

“You know nothing!” Samuel pushed Caleb out of the way and grabbed her arm, speaking softly.

“Why would I not know? The Watson family wants me dead, and you want me to live. But listen to me, Kathleen. I won’t die. If I need your sacrifice for me to be alive, I’d rather die.”

She froze. Why does he seem like he’s known everything?

“Samuel, stop being so presumptuous.” Caleb strode over, trying to separate them. Samuel held onto Kathleen’s wrist.

“Tyson!”

With that, Tyson came into the hall with his other subordinates. Caleb’s men wanted to fight back, but Samuel had more people on his side. Meanwhile, other people at the scene dared not to speak up even though they were infuriated by Samuel and his subordinates. “

Are you crazy?” Kathleen paled. The viciousness in Samuel’s eyes was intense, but he gazed at her gently.

“Yes, I am.” She was so enraged that she trembled all over.

“Samuel, what do you want?”

“I want you not to marry him.” Samuel’s gaze darkened.

“I don’t want you to sacrifice yourself for me.” She gritted her teeth.

“Caleb was right. You are presumptuous. I don’t love you, and I’m not sacrificing myself for you.” Samuel flashed her a wry smile. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “My grandfather killed Wyatt Watson’s grandfather. One of them was a soldier, and one of them was an outlaw. They were sworn enemies. Wyatt wants to avenge his grandfather’s death, so he provokes me. He knows I care

about you the most. He also uses that kind of method to force you. Did you think I know none of these?”

Kathleen was dumbfounded. How did he know about this? Seeing her widening her eyes in surprise, Samuel knew that his guess was right.

“You don’t love me?” Samuel continued to fire questions at her.

“You hate me to the core? Why do you want to protect me secretly then?” She gnawed on her lip.

“I do not.”

“You’re so dishonest.” He grabbed her chin, a cold glint flashing across his eyes.

“As long as you don’t marry Caleb, I’ll ask them to retreat now.”

“What if I insist on marrying him?” Kathleen asked furiously. “Do you want to turn this wedding into a bloodbath? If you dare to do that, I’ll never forgive you! Ever!”

Samuel smiled gently with a hint of melancholy.

“Katie, how can the hate between us dissipate? Ever since you came back, I know you don’t love me anymore. If it weren’t for my family, you would have shunned me. Am I right?” Kathleen’s breath hitched in her throat. He continued, “When I was drugged by Yareli, you came back not because you loved me. It was because you felt that you were indebted to my family.” Complicated and twisted emotions filled his eyes.

“But it’s the Macari family who is indebted to you. My family caused you to lose your parents, and I caused you to lose your babies. It’s all my fault.”
