All Too Late

Diana buried her face in her hands. “Why is he so shameless?”

Kathleen snatched the phone from Charles and assured, “Old Mrs. Macari, ignore Charles. It’s normal for Samuel to have many properties. Just let him live wherever he wants.”

“Katie, you don’t have to speak up for him,” Diana said exasperatedly. “That son of a gun. He never inherited the genes of loving his wife from the Macari family. And now, he’s regretting it.”

“Perhaps his genes mutated,” Charles suggested.

“That’s possible. Who knows, he might not even be a child of the Macari family,” Diana fumed.

Kathleen glared at Charles before telling Diana, “Everything’s fine now, Old Mrs. Macari. Sorry for interrupting your rest.”

“There’s nothing you have to apologize for. I’ll give that grandson of mine an earful now.” Diana hung up the call angrily.

Right then, Charles laughed out loud.

Seeing his response, Kathleen frowned. “Charles, did you lose to Samuel earlier?Is that why you went looking for Old Mrs. Macari?

”

“Me? Losing to him? What a joke!” Charles denied.

“Fine, I give up. You’re too childish.” Kathleen stood up.

“Katie, you must not feel sorry for him, okay?” Charles reminded.

Kathleen was speechless, and she turned around to head upstairs.

She entered her room and looked at the balcony opposite hers.

So, is he watching me from the other side today?

Meanwhile, Samuel was sitting in his room. Right then, he saw Kathleen’s room lights turned on.

Kathleen’s silhouette could be seen through the curtains.

She seemed to be looking in his direction motionlessly.

“Samuel, did you hear what I said?” Diana asked sternly.

“I heard you.” Samuel’s voice was indifferent. “Grandma, you can stop talking now. I won’t listen to you. I’m pursuing her.”

Diana reminded. “Ever since Katie came back, did she show any signs of wanting to remarry
