All Too Late

Kathleen did not believe him. “Will you?”

“You’ll find out when you come over to my place,” Samuel replied with a raspy voice.

With that, he put down his long arm that was pressing the door shut.

Kathleen bolted out of the room right after that, as though she was running away from a savage beast.

Smirking, Samuel muttered under his breath, “You can’t escape me.”

Kathleen found Charles and grabbed his hand. ”Let’s go, Charles!”

With a glance at her lips, Charles asked, “Did Samuel bully you?”

Kathleen’s lipstick had faded, indicating that she had been kissed.

Kathleen’s cheeks flushed red. She barked, “Don’t bring him up!”

Charles realized that his speculation was true.

Samuel, you b*stard!

Kathleen got into the car and fastened her seat belt.

Charles asked as he started the engine, “Do you know what Vanessa told me?”

Kathleen shook her head.

“She told me that Nicolette has been living in a mansion over the past year. Someone called Melvin Lambert had been taking good care of her. Apart from restricted movement, she’s living quite comfortably.”

Kathleen’s fingers clenched tightly when she heard that.

I knew Samuel couldn’t bear to see Nicolette suffer at all. He has taken great measures to protect her.

Kathleen snorted. “I never expect him to be kind to me. Charles, you don’t need to tell me about this. I won’t go back to him.”

“I’m glad you understand.” Charles was worried that Kathleen might still be pining for Samuel.

Ten years of unrequited love isn’t something one can forget overnight. If Kathleen can let it go, she wouldn’t have… Forget about it. I have to tell Samuel to stop pestering her.

Charles took Kathleen to the filming set. He looked deeply into her eyes. “Kate, don’t be afraid of anything. I’m here for you.”

She nodded in acknowledgement.

“Have a good rest. I’ll get you a script today. Don’t think about anything else,” Charles reminded.
