All Too Late

Christopher was offended by Kathleen’s distrust of him.

However, he knew that he could not force her to trust him as well.

It was his incapability that prevented her from believing him wholeheartedly.

However, she had an indescribable trust toward Samuel, be it good or bad.

Her understanding of Samuel was deeply engraved in her.

“Rest well. I’m going to make a move first.” Christopher got up to leave.

Kathleen sighed.

Samuel stared at her with his dark eyes as he asked. “Should I be happy?”

Kathleen stared back at him. “Happy about what?”

“Happy that you trust me more than Christopher.” Samuel raised a brow.

Kathleen snorted coldly, “What’s there to be happy about? Do you think it’s something that you should be proud of?”

Samuel’s brows furrowed.

“You think that I treat you differently compared to others but you don’t know that these were my sufferings back then.” Kathleen’s voice was soft and hoarse. “Because I know you too well, that’s why I can read all your minor expressions. I’ve learned how to observe your expressions, afraid that you’ll dislike me if I don’t. I’ve been trying to play my role as that perfect wife but we still ended up with divorce.”

Samuel’s face darkened.

“I was constantly wondering. Must it always be like this?” Kathleen was frowning. “Must I understand you so well and please you so much? There was a voice in my head back then, telling me that you’ll fall in love with me if I try harder. Maye if I just wait for a bit longer, then you’ll notice how good I am. But all my hard work was wasted once Nicolette was back.”

Samuel’s voice was slightly hoarse. “I…”

“I’m not reprimanding you by saying it all out, Samuel.” Kathleen took a deep breath. “It’s just that I realized that you won’t care about that person no matter how much she loves you because you don’t love her. Likewise, it’s because you don’t love me, that’s why you tend to ignore whatever I do. Isn’t that right?”

Samuel was silent.
