All Too Late

Nicolette’s return to the Yoeger family had nothing to do with Kathleen.

She only wanted to find out about her mother’s past and identity.

That was all she wanted.

That night, Kathleen tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep.

After all, Nicolette’s existence perturbed her.

Shouldn’t Samuel be worried about Nicolette’s safety to release her now? Won’t he be scared that I would take revenge on her? Or is he confident about his capability to protect her? Right, perhaps he’s that confident.

However, Kathleen despised Nicolette for causing death to her two unborn children because of Nicolette’s selfishness, only wanting to save herself.

She didn’t even let me off!

However, Kathleen had never thought of killing Nicolette because it was illegal.

If Nicolette were to provoke her, Kathleen wouldn’t let her go.

Glancing at Valerie, who was sleeping on the couch, Kathleen didn’t wake her up. Instead, she covered herself with a coat and walked toward the balcony to enjoy the breeze.

In reality, she didn’t know why she felt so conflicted.

She had repeatedly told herself that it mattered nothing to her, even if Samuel liked Nicolette.

However, bitter resentment and anger washed over her.

Perhaps Samuel didn’t even take my unborn children seriously. After all, he had never care of them. Hence, it’s normal that he was unconcerned about it, but…

Kathleen lowered her head as tears rolled down her cheeks.

My babies…

“Why don’t you know how to take care of your body?” Samuel’s frosty voice rang out behind her.

Kathleen was startled.

Then, she turned around and looked at Samuel coldly before saying, “It’s late now. Why are you here?”
