All Too Late

Chapter 77

Kathleen understood that Wynnie was coming from a place of concern.

“Thanks for your understanding, Mom. I’ll think about it.”

Wynnie responded with a solemn nod. “Remember that no matter what decision you make, my husband and I will always be on your side.”

“Of course.”

“Why not show me around since it’s my first time here?” Wynnie grinned.

“I’ve just moved in today and barely know my way around.” Kathleen blushed.

“All the better! Let’s explore together,” replied Wynnie as she took hold of Kathleen’s hand.

Oh dear, her palms are freezing even with the heater on. I shouldn’t have let that she-devil Nicolette off so easily!

They began their tour of the mansion and finished by the time the sun started to set.

“Why not join us for dinner, Mom?” Kathleen invited.

“It’s all right, dear. I’ve already taken too much of your time.”

She did not savor being the third wheel in their relationship. It was best to leave them both to sort things out together.

Wynnie chose to take her leave promptly.

Kathleen ushered Wynnie to her car.

“Are you aware that Samuel intends to have the wedding ceremony as soon as possible?” Wynnie queried while getting into her car.

Kathleen inclined her head. “Well, it’s not as if there’s anything I can do about it.”

Wynnie heaved a sigh.

Samuel was still oblivious to the most pertinent part of getting back into Kathleen’s good graces.

It was just like him to be irretrievably set in his own ways.

After all, bad habits die hard. It would have been unrealistic to expect such a drastic turnaround from Samuel in such a short time.
