All Too Late

Chapter 350 It Is My Bad

 “Am I worthy of that?” Samuel asked in a low yet gentle voice. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes. Kathleen paused briefly before saying, “It’s just a meal.” Samuel nodded graciously. 

“Thank you.” Kathleen remained silent. 

“Eil, take your sister to wash her hands,” instructed Samuel. Eil led Desi off the bed. He put on his slippers before helping Desi to put on hers. After that, the two siblings walked out of the room hand in hand. Samuel gazed at Kathleen. 

“The children have been waiting for you to come back so our family could be reunited. That’s why—” 

“You don’t have to explain,” Kathleen interrupted. 

“I’m not that unreasonable. It’s totally understandable that the children want a complete family.” Samuel nodded and spoke in his deep, enigmatic voice.

 “I’m glad you understand.” 

“Samuel, the fact that I understand doesn’t mean we can be…” Kathleen explained hurriedly, worried he might misunderstand her words. Samuel chuckled. 

“Don’t worry. I’m not the same person from the past.I didn’t misunderstand your words.” Kathleen sighed with relief. That’s great. Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted into the air as Samuel scooped her into his arms. With Kathleen in his arms, Samuel walked to the wheelchair and placed her in it. Softly, he said, “I’m fine with letting the children stay with you. But as you know, they’ve been staying with me when you were gone. So, it’s not them who can’t be away from me. It’s the other way round. I’d like to see them every day. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you.”

 Kathleen nodded lightly. “I understand.” Samuel continued, “The housekeeper I’ve hired to take care of you can only arrive tomorrow. I’ve asked Gemma to keep you company tonight. She’ll take of you here.”

 “Okay.” Kathleen nodded. With that, Samuel pushed her wheelchair out of the room.

When they arrived at the dining hall, Eil, Desi, and even Charles were already seated at the dining table. He didn’t leave, either. Kathleen was surprised. 

“What’s with that look of disdain on your face? Kate, you used to depend on me a lot, you know?” Charles said disappointedly. 

“I’m sorry,” Kathleen apologized. 

“I really have no recollection of the past. I only remember you shouting at me when we met for the first time.” Charles was speechless. At that time, he did not know Gizem was Kathleen. He would not have acted that way if he knew.

Kathleen merely watched them wordlessly. Right then, Samuel put on a smile and said to her, “Let’s eat. Try the food. These used to be your favorite dishes in the past.
