All Too Late

“Why can’t I be here if Christopher can?” Samuel walked to Kathleen’s side.

“You’re wearing my clothes! Kate bought this set of clothing for me. I couldn’t even bear to wear it.” Charles was bothered by Samuel who was wearing his clothes.

“You couldn’t bear to wear it? I thought you didn’t like it,” said Kathleen as realization dawned on her.

“I haven’t worn it even once.” Charles gritted his teeth, glaring at Samuel.

“Well, I’ll keep it then. It suits me quite well,” said Samuel calmly.

Kathleen bought this, after all.

Charles was speechless. Then, he asked, “Where’s your dignity?”

Do you still want it?

“Go and drink your coffee and go home,” urged Kathleen.

Samuel went over and sat at the furthest seat from Christopher.

Maria brought him a cup of coffee.

Thanking her, Samuel picked up the cup and sipped slowly.

Charles tugged at Kathleen’s sleeve and asked, “What’s going on?”

“The two of them fought in the yard. I stopped them with the spray gun you used to water the plants,” explained Kathleen.

Charles blinked several times.

So they were the dogs that fought?

Kathleen walked over to Christopher and remarked, “Chris, the incident where Astrid schemed you is far from simple. She had signed a contract with an entertainment company half a year ago. She planned well with every step she made.”

Christopher frowned after hearing that.

“Samuel explained to me just now. He didn’t get Astrid to harass you.” Kathleen paused before continuing, “I believe what Samuel told me. After all, he’s not someone that unscrupulous.”

Samuel was at a loss for words.

“You never know because someone’s appearance can be deceiving,” mocked Christopher.

“I completely agree with you.” Charles raised his brows.

“You stay out of this.” Kathleen glowered at Charles.

Charles felt awkward.
