All Too Late

Kathleen’s face was flushed red. “It’s all in the past. Why are you bringing it up now?”

Samuel was breathing hard. “I thought about it suddenly. I saw you taking a photo with Timothy, and—”

“And what?” Kathleen was baffled.

“I was jealous. Kathleen, I was so jealous then.” There was a tinge of irony in his eyes.

Kathleen looked grim. “So what if you’re jealous? Why are you telling me this?”

Do you expect me to give you some sugar to neutralize the sour taste in your mouth?

“This means that back then, I’ve already fallen for you.” Samuel’s face turned a little red as he said that.

Kathleen was stunned.

What is he talking about?

When Samuel saw her startled look, he became indignant. “What’s so shocking about it?”

Kathleen nodded. “It’s shocking indeed.”

Samuel sat down. “Perhaps, I’ve fallen in love with you long ago. I just didn’t realize it.”

His feelings for Nicolette had blinded him.

Kathleen managed a rueful smile. “Samuel, it’s all over. Stop dwelling on the past. We’re family now. I’m not troubled by it at all, why should you?”

Although Kathleen was a little surprised by Samuel’s confession, she was not overly shocked and touched.

She just felt that destiny was often cruel.

Regardless, they had already missed each other.

They could never regain what they had once it was lost.

That was Samuel and Kathleen’s destiny.

“Samuel, I’m sorry. No matter what you say now, I don’t feel anything for you. I really don’t love you anymore.” Kathleen gazed steadily into Samuel’s face.

Samuel’s face was drained of color, overwhelmed with a sense of powerlessness.

“I know. You don’t have to repeat it so many times. I just want to tell you how I feel.”

Kathleen looked at him serenely. “I’m going to start filming now.”

Samuel nodded.
