All Too Late

Chapter 135

Are you seriously agreeing to be my relative?” Kathleen was startled.

Samuel’s lips curled. “Yes.”

A deep line appeared in the middle of Kathleen’s brow. “You won’t do things that I hate? For example, kiss me or flirt with me without warning?” she asked doubtfully.

“No,” Samuel responded with a shake of his head.

“All right.” Kathleen paused. “I’ll give you one last chance.”

Chuckling deeply, Samuel spread his arms wide.

Kathleen hesitated before wrapping her arms around him.

Samuel felt his heart clenching up as a lone tear dropped down his cheek and disappeared underneath Kathleen’s collar.

She’s so soft and fits right into my arms perfectly. Alas, this will be the last time we’ll ever hug each other.

Kathleen had no idea why her heart was aching.

A year had since passed, but the pain still remained.

“From now on, we’ll be a family. If you need help, just let me know. I’ll try my best to help,” Samuel rasped. “I promise no one will dare to lay a hand on you in Jadeborough.”

“Mm.” Kathleen bobbed her head.

His lips curled up, Samuel added, “One more thing. I hope you’ll say yes to my request.”

“Say it,” Kathleen urged.

“Please don’t show your affection for Christopher in front of me. I might’ve agreed to be your family, but that doesn’t mean I can accept your relationship. Do you understand?” Samuel stated.

“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.

I won’t be affectionate with Christopher in public, anyway.

“I can’t bring myself to release you,” Samuel grunted. “If I let go, you’ll no longer belong to me.”

Something told him he would forever be her family.

Kathleen hesitated. “I’ll let you hug me for ten seconds longer.”

Samuel snickered and commented, “How kind of you.”
