All Too Late

Kathleen’s expression darkened after watching the video of Nicolette being hysterical.

Is this real? No! It’s impossible.

She put down the tablet and said to Samuel, “Previously, you’ve deceived me with a fake video as well.”

Thus, I won’t fall for it again.

Giving her a meaningful look, he said, “That was before. But I swear that I have never hidden anything from you since you are back. Everything that you have seen or known is real.”

She frowned. Should I trust Samuel?

Lowering his head, he put his lips close to her ears. “After all, you’ll be going to the Yoeger residence. Why don’t you check it out yourself to see whether I’ve lied to you?”

Kathleen moved to the side. “Is it possible not to stand too close to me when you speak?”

He curled his lip. “Why can’t I stand close to you?”

“Because we’re of different genders. That’s why!” she blurted out angrily.

“So what?” Slowly, he frowned. “But this is my ward.”

“It was you who dragged me inside!” she continued with exasperation.

“I’ve forgotten all about it,” he said meaningfully.

Kathleen chuckled out of frustration. “Forgot? Has your brain shrunk? But you’re still young!”

He was at a loss for words.

This young lady sure is… irritating. Although she’s as cute as a ragdoll cat, she is feisty. But that’s good. It’s better for her to berate me loudly rather than give me the cold shoulder.

“What else do you want to know? I can tell you everything.” He looked at her gently.

“You don’t have to do that.” She turned around to leave.

“Kate, do you love Christopher?” he asked suddenly.

Stopped in her tracks, she turned around and asked, “What do you mean?”
