Chapter 462

The Point Of No Return

Mila fixed her gaze on Samuel.

"This way, please."

She intentionally led them to a table as far as possible from Kathleen, fearing that things would turn
ugly.

Samuel trailed behind Mila to the table and sat down.

"I didn’t expect you to bring your friend over, too," were Mila’s words.

Samuel merely gave a flat response.

"Mm."

Then came Ashley’s declaration, "I’m not just Samuel’s friend, Mdm.Hunt.More accurately, I’m her
girlfriend."



She wore a smug look at that.

The corner of Mila’s lips curled upward.

"Oh, my.I hope I didn’t offend you with my choice of words, Ms.Zeller.I was just trying to stay neutral
and as future-proof as I possibly can be.It’s just so I don’t have to owe anyone any explanation if
something were to crop up in the future.Don’t get worked up, okay?"

"Oh, no.I also didn’t mean anything else, Mdm.Hunt."




Ashley’s words clearly implied otherwise.

"That’s good to know."

Flashing a half-smile, Mila quickly changed the topic.

"What would you like to eat, Samuel? Do you have any cravings?"

"My mom asked me to support your business.I’ll leave it to you," uttered Samuel placidly.

To be honest, he was reluctant to show up at first.It was Wynnie who had forced him to do so.

No matter his amnesia, he would never go against her wishes.

She was his mother, after all, so he had to do her bidding.

A faint smile appeared on Mila’s face.

"Okay, I’ll serve you something nice, then." Samuel gave a nod.

His gaze unwittingly landed on Kathleen and her group.

At that time, Kathleen was chatting with Levi.

"Why don’t you try and talk to her nicely?"

"But she’s been giving me the cold shoulder." Levi sounded aggrieved.

"Why don’t you help me, Kate?"

"Uh… Okay," said Kathleen as she massaged her temples.

"If I happen to ruin it somehow, don’t come after me." Levi winced on that note.



"Could it get any worse than what I’m facing right now?" he commented.

"No, indeed." Kathleen just had to admit it.

Levi fell speechless at that.

Looking at that intimate duo happily chit-chatting, the look in Samuel’s eyes darkened slightly.I never
should’ve stepped into this restaurant in the first place .

To make matters worse, Kathleen was all smiles when Samuel laid his gaze on her from afar.

Look at the way she smiles! Why can’t she treat me the same way? Ever since his return, she had
never once flashed him a smile, not even a faint one for that matter.

Desolation rose in his heart.

Why couldn’t she understand how insecure and lonely I must’ve been after losing my memories? Right
then, Queena pushed the food cart to the table where Samuel was at and placed a steak on the grill to
begin cooking.

Halfway through the process, she must’ve gone into a daze, for she accidentally brushed her thumb
against a grill stone.

Immediately, her thumb was seared and reddened like a tomato.

Concurrently, a yelp came through her lips.

"Ouch!"

At that juncture, Levi suddenly leaped up from his seat and bolted toward Queena.



Grabbing her injured hand with both hands, Levi was distressed as he urged, "Did you hurt yourself?
Come! I’ll send you to the hospital!"

"Let go of me!"

Queena appeared to be agitated, hollering, "Don’t you dare touch me!"

Huh? Levi froze as he witnessed her reaction.

"I-I’m only worried about you…"

He loosened his grip sheepishly.

Queena, in turn, ignored him and directed her gaze at Samuel instead.

"I’m sorry, Mr.Macari.Please excuse my clumsiness.I’ll go get my colleague to continue serving you."

Samuel gave a curt nod.

Deep down, Samuel was puzzled by what he had just seen.

From his perspective, something must’ve been going on between this pair.

Anyone can tell that he cares a whole lot for her.

With that said, Queena headed toward the kitchen right away.

To Samuel’s surprise, Kathleen, too, rose to her feet and followed Queena’s footsteps.

A deep frown was etched on Samuel’s face.

Why on earth did she have to follow? When Kathleen entered the kitchen, Queena was already
rummaging through the first aid kit, seemingly looking for some medicine.



Kathleen walked up and clasped Queena’s hand before dragging the latter toward the sink.She turned
the pipe on and placed Queena’s seared thumb under the running cold water.

"Always give it a good rinse before applying any medication."

"Thank you."

Queena expressed her appreciation, her eyes teary.

A faint smile appeared on Kathleen’s face as she fished out her phone to dial Yadiel’s number.

The call quickly got through.

"Fetch me some burn ointment," was Kathleen’s command.

She hung up the phone right after that.

Queena bit her lip, gawking at her injured finger.

Out of the blue, Kathleen crossed her arms and asked, "Why did you break up with Levi?"

Her words stupefied Queena on the spot.

"Don’t get me wrong.I’m not prying.Levi asked me to help him out, but that doesn’t mean I take his
side.He simply wanted to get to the bottom of this."

Kathleen portrayed a fair-minded demeanor as she spoke.

"Forgive my bluntness, though.If you’ve decided to let him go, surely you wouldn’t mind telling me,
right?"

Queena froze at that.



Initially, she had really thought of keeping it to herself.However, considering Kathleen had already put it
that way, Queena was left with no choice.

"He’s been seeing someone else.During his absence, a woman came to me and showed me some
photos of them acting all lovey-dovey with each other.I couldn’t accept it, so I left him,"

Queena gruffly blurted out the truth.

Kathleen blinked in disbelief.

"Seriously?"

The look on Queena’s face was stern as she said, "There’s no reason for me to lie."

"No, no, no.I mean, Levi wouldn’t do such a thing."

Kathleen’s visage was impassive, but her tone was all the more indifferent.

Queena knitted her brows.

"What makes you say that?"

"His mom is one of those devoted bunch.Naturally, Levi is, too.They’re the kind of people who would
forbid getting physical before marriage.I bet when you guys were dating each other, he had never
crossed the line except giving you some pecks, correct?" remarked Kathleen.

Her deadpan countenance didn’t waver at all.

Queena nodded in agreement.

Kathleen went on, "Trust me.I met Levi’s mom before.She’s super strict when it comes to educating her
son.Well, even if he’s nothing of the sort, he wouldn’t just get himself another partner like that.I’ve



known him long enough to know him inside and out."

Listening to her claim, Queena pursed her lips.

"But… what I said is also true."

"How about that woman, though? Is she believable?" Kathleen shrugged.

"You know, it’s relatively easy to composite photographs nowadays."

Those words made Queena freeze for a moment.

"Actually, you should’ve confronted Levi about this.You’re his girlfriend.You have all the right in the
world to do that," added Kathleen in a heartbeat.
