All Too Late

Chapter 38

“It was my fault, sir. Please don’t blame him,” she piped up in humiliation.

“Well, since everything’s okay, we’ll take our leave now.” In any case, the policemen knew it wasn’t their place to poke their nose into a couple’s personal affairs.

“Goodbye, sir.” Kathleen bid them farewell politely.

She only walked back after they had entered the elevator and stared at Samuel awkwardly.

There was a forced smile on his face. “Hmph.”

Kathleen approached him and muttered, “I’m sorry.”

“Thanks to you, I was questioned by the police for the first time in my life,” he commented indifferently.

Gnawing on her lip, she protested, “I assumed you had left already. The door was open, too. I thought a thief broke in.”

“You assumed?” he repeated while frowning.

“I…” Kathleen didn’t know what to say.

Thwack!

He gave her a flick to the forehead and warned, “You didn’t do too badly this time. Since you know that you shouldn’t be reckless, I’ll forgive you just this once. If this happens again, I’ll break your legs.”

As she rubbed the sore spot on her forehead, she had a pitiful and wronged expression. “Can you really blame me, though? I thought you were rushing to see Nicolette and forgot to close the door.”

That made Samuel frown.

Is she really trying to justify herself here?

“Think about it. Why do you think I chose this place as our new home?” he prompted gloomily. “The security downstairs is so tight. Do you really think a thief could get in? Why don’t you use your brain a little?”

“You can never be too cautious,” she insisted in an aggrieved manner. “You just said that I didn’t do too badly!”

Samuel let out a chilling huff. “You’re really going to make me explode from anger someday, Kathleen.”

In response to that, Kathleen puffed up her cheeks. She looked like a kicked puppy.
