Chapter 987
Maisie was curious but didn’t ask anything. She went in and yelled something.
Kennedy put down his food and walked to the door. Samantha asked if he could speak with her, and he
nodded.
Maisie watched them walk into the courtyard, and her curiosity was piqued. Ryleigh and Barbara
immediately approached her, especially Ryleigh, who was very surprised. “Why is Aunt Samantha here?”
Maisie smiled and touched her chin. “Why can’t she be here? But what happened between Uncle
Kennedy and Aunt Samantha?”
Samantha loved Sapphire and would come to visit her when she had time, yet she hadn’t been around a

And looking at the two of them speaking outside but not knowing what they were talking about, the entire
atmosphere felt weird.
Barbara put her arm over Ryleigh’s shoulder. “I think it’s best not to speculate. Let’s eat.”
Ryleigh agreed, and since she was hungry, it would be a good time to have a great meal.
Maisie stood there and took a few more glances when the two walked back.
The cold wind was blowing in the courtyard. Although Samantha was wearing a coat her face was pink
from the cold. They were both quiet for a few minutes, and Samantha broke the silence. “I don’t know
what’s on your mind. I might have misunderstood.”
Kennedy stared at her, intending to say something but stopped. Samantha put her hands in her pockets
and revealed a sad smile while she lowered her face.
“It’s best if we don’t keep in contact. I can’t pretend I don’t see how good you are to me, but you’re a
great man, and I’m a divorcee.
“Women are funny, huh? We’d be touched just because someone treats us a little better, but we’re in this
situation because I misunderstood. Thus, it’s best if we stop contacting each other.”
Samatha turned around and walked away.
Kennedy balled up his fist and ran after Samantha when she was about to get into the car. “Hold on!”
Samantha paused and turned around to see Kennedy, who was walking over. He looked down and
spoke slowly. “I’m sorry. I’m not really good at expressing myself. I don’t know how to handle this
relationship the right way. I admit that I was surprised when you said that to me. I chose not to face it
because I didn’t know how to face you.”
Samantha was quiet.

wonderful woman. It’s my fault because I’m afraid that I might not be able to give you what you want.”
“What I want is simple,” Samantha looked at him, her eyes welled up in tears and red.” I gave up on the
life I wanted 30 years ago and lived the way others wanted me to live, but now I know that it’s not hard.
What I want is really simple.”
Kennedy paused.
She looked down and chuckled. “I don’t need luxury. All I need is stability, a simple but happy family with
a husband with whom I can spend the rest of my life.”
“Everyone wants some thrill when they’re younger, but I realized that happiness is just having the basic
things after all this time. It looks simple and dull, but at least I’ll have my husband and children by my
side. This simplicity may seem dull, but it’s what I desire.”
Samantha then got into the car.
Kennedy stood there and watched the car drive away while looking somber.
