All Too Late

Christopher took Kathleen home and drove her to the mansion’s entrance.

“We’ve reached your house,” Christopher said warmly.

Kathleen glanced at the white building outside his car window and said, “Thank you for taking me home, Chris.”

“There really is no need for thanks, Kate. It’s okay.” Christopher disliked how Kathleen was being distant from him.

Despite that, he knew if he confessed to her, she would certainly reject him.

“I’ll get going then.” Kathleen pushed the car door open and got out of the car.

Christopher stared blankly at Kathleen’s slim figure as she disappeared from his sight.

Maybe I should give her more time and not force her to make a decision now.

Once Kathleen entered her house, Charles descended the stairs.

“Did you have fun?” he asked in concern.

Kathleen shook her head. “I bumped into Samuel.”

“What is he doing there?” Charles walked and stood in front of Kathleen.

“It was nothing. He wanted me to visit Grandma,” Kathleen answered and pursed her lips. “I know that! But I just came back home today. I’ll visit her. It’s just a matter of time. What’s the rush, geez.”

Charles knew that Kathleen treated and loved Diana like her own grandmother.

“When will you visit her? I’ll go with you,” Charles said.

“I’ll go tomorrow,” Kathleen answered after contemplating. “Anyway, I think Samuel would assume I’ll visit her several days later, but I want to catch him off guard by visiting Grandma earlier.”

Charles smiled faintly. “Okay, I’ll prepare the gifts then.”

“Don’t get anything that’s too lavish or expensive, otherwise she’ll think we’re not being sincere enough,” Kathleen said before adding, “I think I’d better prepare the gifts myself. I know what she likes best, after all.”

Charles chuckled. “You don’t trust me, your own brother?”

Kathleen snorted.

“Don’t worry. I know what to do,” Charles said with a slight laugh. “Just go and rest.”

“If you say so.” Kathleen nodded and climbed up the stairs with her high heels on.

Charles withdrew his gaze. A hint of coldness glinted in his eyes.
