All Too Late

“What else would I want?” Kathleen asked in puzzlement.

“Think about it. Do you want to have fun alone?” Samuel reminded.

At that, Kathleen suddenly thought of something. “Oh! I can’t spend all your money eating alone. So, I’m going to invite my friends as well!”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

He started to doubt if Kathleen had fallen for him.

“I hope that you will choke on your food,” said Samuel indifferently.

Kathleen snorted and replied, “I know what you mean, but I’m not of such a low standard. No matter how lonely I am, I will have other ways to make myself less lonely. I will never cheat on you or be with another man. I’ll fulfill my duties in marriage, and I won’t go overboard. I’m not like you, Samuel. Marriage is sacred, but you treat it as bondage. For me, it’s not.”

Samuel looked at her frostily. “Marrying a man who doesn’t love you, and you call this kind of marriage sacred?”

Kathleen’s face turned pale at that.

Samuel’s words had cut deep into her heart instantly.

It took a lot of effort for her not to cry in front of him, but his words caused her heart to ache terribly.

She felt the resentment and hatred bubbling from within at that instant.

She tried her best not to cry and care, but his remark was a hard blow.

It’s fine if he knew the truth, but why did he choose to say it?

Samuel never thought that Kathleen would cry.

Without saying anything, she wiped her tears away and stormed toward the exit.

Samuel’s eyes darkened as he stared at her.

Why is she crying all of a sudden? She is so fragile. Did I say something wrong?

Samuel got down from the rooftop.

Tyson walked toward him. “M-Mr. Macari.”

“Why are you stuttering?” Samuel asked coldly.

“The scene of you and Mrs. Macari on the rooftop just now was broadcasted. Besides, Ms. Staines publicly stated that she would not allow you to marry Ms. Yoeger. Now, everyone is discussing this,” reported Tyson.
