All Too Late novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Live To See My Own Wedding

After Kathleen finished her sentence, she got into the car.

She curled up in the back seat.

It was not what she had intended.

She had wanted to say her goodbyes to him in goodwill before divorcing, but Samuel kept agitating her.

Samuel got into the car, sat by her side, and asked the driver to start driving.

He did not look at Kathleen throughout the journey, but his eyes flashed with mixed emotions.

When they arrived at the bottom of the condominium, both Kathleen and Samuel got out of the car.

“Why are you coming up? Aren’t you rushing to the hospital to accompany Nicolette?” Kathleen asked coldly.

Samuel frowned. “Kathleen, this is my home, too.”

Kathleen pursed her lips and turned to walk away.

She knew that it was Samuel’s home, but she felt that he had never treated it as such.

He had never cared enough for this family.

Samuel noticed that Kathleen was limping as she walked.

He quickly caught up in large strides, held her by her wrist, and pulled her into his arms before lifting her up to carry her.

At that moment, Kathleen’s tiny chin quivered slightly, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She was not a particularly resilient person. Ever since she lost her mom and dad, she cried very often.

However, she always held it in so that no one could tell.

Nonetheless, in the face of Samuel, she could not help but break down.

She wrapped her arms around Samuel’s neck as her tears trickled down continuously. It was a heartbreaking sight to behold.

Samuel softened as he watched her cry pitifully. “What a baby.”

Kathleen pursed her lips.

Samuel carried her and walked into the elevator.

Kathleen was still crying.

Irritated, Samuel said, “Stop crying.”

Seeing her cry made him feel frustrated.

However, Kathleen’s tears still flowed uncontrollably.

Frowning, Samuel lowered his head and kissed her lips to seal her mouth.

Kathleen got taken aback as she thought that Samuel was just trying to scare her. She did not expect him to really kiss her.

Because of that, Kathleen was stunned and actually stopped crying.

Satisfied, Samuel carried her out of the elevator.

Standing at the doorstep of their condominium unit, he entered Kathleen’s birthdate and opened the door.

Finally, they were back to a familiar place.

Kathleen asked Samuel to put her down, but he placed her on the bed instead.

Thereafter, he took out some medicated cream from the drawer.

He knew that there would always be some medications stored in the house for emergencies.

Kathleen would often fall sick. Moreover, she often knocked into something by accident when she walked.

As her skin was delicate, a light hit would leave her bruised.

Sometimes, he would get rough in bed, and Kathleen’s soft skin would end up in a bad state.

He wondered if her future husband would be able to take good care of her given how fragile she was.

As he thought about that, Benjamin’s face popped up in his mind.

Benjamin was a policeman, which was a pretty good profession to have. Furthermore, he was quite good-looking. Although he could not compare with Samuel, he could still captivate naïve young women like Kathleen who had barely stepped into the real world and were unaware of the real deal.

However, Samuel’s eyes turned dark.

He could not live with the fact that he was going to lose such a beautiful, sweet, and soft lady to someone else.

Samuel applied the cream on Kathleen’s sprained ankle.

Kathleen tried to shift her leg to avoid him, but his long and well-defined arm held firmly on her leg to prevent her from escaping.

He only loosened his grip after he finished applying the cream.

Kathleen retreated all the way to the end of the extremely large bed.

With a darkened face, he questioned, “Why are you avoiding me?”

She was really testing his patience every now and then.
