All Too Late

Samuel and Christopher had an intense fight.

In the meantime, Kathleen’s expression went darker and darker.

D*mn! These men are really stupid!

From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the water gun used to water the flowers beside the flower bed. She immediately walked over to pick it up and pointed it at the two men.

The men immediately stopped their fight and soon became entirely drenched.

It was then that Kathleen threw the water gun onto the floor.

“Maria, please prepare bath towels for them,” she instructed.

Maria quickly ran into the house to prepare them.

Meanwhile, Kathleen shot the men an icy gaze imposingly. “Don’t you ever do such things in front of me again. What I resent the most are those who fight without making things clear. Are you two beasts?”

The two grown men were being lectured like they were dogs, standing in place with their hands hanging naturally at their bodies’ sides while lowering their heads.

Christopher then looked at Samuel. The white shirt the latter was wearing clung to his lean figure, showing his abs clearly.

The scar from his heart that stretched all the way to his abdomen was now even more noticeable.

Shortly after, Maria returned with the bath towels, handing one to each of them.

“Maria, please take Christopher inside to take a shower,” Kathleen instructed expressionlessly.

“Okay.” Maria then led Christopher inside.

Looking at Samuel, Kathleen said, “Hurry back home. You just got discharged from the hospital.”

“Why can he take a shower at your place while I can’t? Am I not worthy?” Samuel’s tone sounded pitiful.

“Your house is only next door.” Kathleen was speechless.

What’s the point of fighting against this?

“You said I’m like a relative to you, but I can feel that you treat a stranger way better than me.” Samuel’s face turned pale. “I’m living alone. If I fainted, who’s going to save me?”

Kathleen was at a loss for words upon hearing that.

In the end, Samuel managed to step into the Johnson residence.
