All Too Late

Kathleen didn’t want to be the one who ruined Samuel’s relationship with his family.

She thought it would be better for everyone if she left.

“Okay. You can go home and get some rest since there is nothing else to do here.” Cynthia took out the apple cider vinegar that Kathleen liked to drink and put it into a bag.

Then, she packed some snacks for Kathleen too.

Kathleen liked to eat fruit-flavored snacks. Hence, Cynthia always prepared them for her.

Kathleen smiled sweetly like a kid as she held the snacks that were given by Cynthia.

“Granny, I’ll come again next time,” Kathleen said adorably.

Cynthia smiled as she said, “You can come every day. I will always welcome you.”

“Granny, I’ll come as long as you don’t mind it.” Kathleen was shy.

“Why would I?” Cynthia patted her head and said, “Take good care of yourself, my girl.”

Kathleen nodded. “Okay. Goodbye, Granny.” Despite her reluctance, she bade farewell to Cynthia.

“Goodbye,” Cynthia said.

With that, Kathleen and Samuel turned around and headed toward the elevator.

Samuel helped Kathleen to hold the bag while she stood next to him.

The elevator stopped after going down two floors. After that, several people got into the elevator.

Samuel put the things in one hand and used the other hand to hug Kathleen lest she got hit by others.

Pressed into his embrace, all she could hear was the sound of his powerful heartbeat. She felt as if she was drowning in his warm embrace.

Soon, Kathleen felt the strange gaze from the people next to them. They had been scrutinizing Samuel and her.

There were two young girls who were holding their phones while pointing at and gossiping about Samuel and her. Kathleen frowned upon seeing it.

The girls put down their hands hurriedly and looked away out of guilt as soon as they noticed Kathleen was staring at them.

Kathleen was speechless upon seeing their action.

Shortly after that, they stepped out of the elevator after it arrived on the ground floor.

Samuel then pulled Kathleen into the car.
