All Too Late

Chapter 303 Reluctance

Kathleen brought Caleb to the Yoeger residence to visit Frances.

Frances was elated, as she felt that Caleb was a decent guy who was a good match for Kathleen.

No matter whom Kathleen chose, Frances would be glad for her.

“Granny, I’m sorry. I’d been so busy that I didn’t even have time to pay you a visit,” Caleb explained.

“It’s all right.” Frances was all smiles. “It’s not your fault. Kate was too busy.”

“It’s good that Kate has a career she loves.” Caleb’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Frances beamed with joy. “I’m glad that you understand her. Come in and have a seat.”

With that, they went to the living room and sat on the couch.

“Caleb, how’s the preparation for your wedding?” Frances asked smilingly.

“Almost done. Granny, all you need to do is attend the wedding ceremony.” Caleb chuckled.

The old lady nodded. “I know Kate didn’t have time to make wedding preparations with you. Please bear with her.”

“Granny, I don’t mind it at all. I’m so happy to have her.” Caleb was truly contented.

It didn’t matter even if their wedding were fake.

“Kate is truly blessed.” Frances grinned.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

When the housekeeper went to get the door, she exclaimed in shock, “Old Mrs. Macari? Mrs. Macari?”

Kathleen was startled too.

Why are Old Mrs. Macari and Wynnie here?

She quickly stood up to welcome them into the house.

Upon seeing them, Kathleen felt a tad guilty when she saw Diana. “Old Mrs. Macari.”

Samuel had said that Diana wanted to meet her, but she didn’t go.
