All Too Late

Kathleen silently listened to them as they finished their words.

In an instant, the cake in her mouth didn’t seem sweet anymore.

It tasted bland.

However, the two women didn’t notice her at all and left after they finished chatting.

Kathleen wanted to drink some water to quench her dry throat.

Just then, someone handed her a glass of warm water.

As she glanced in the direction of the beautiful hand that was holding the glass, she saw Christopher.

“Chris?” Kathleen took the glass from him and gulped down the water.

She had only focused on getting food just now and had forgotten to get herself some water.

Christopher looked at her before glancing at Samuel, who was by the side. He then asked, “How could he leave you here by yourself?”

Hasn’t he thought about how uncomfortable and out of place Kathleen would feel on her first time at such an event?

“I’m used to it.” Kathleen sipped her water slowly. After eating some cake, she drank some more water. As she would eventually feel full from it, she then decided to stop eating.

I’ll eat some vegetables and meat later at night.

Kathleen started planning the menu for her meal later on.

She had to constantly keep her mind occupied with other things to stop herself from thinking about Samuel and Nicolette.

When Kathleen said that she was used to it, she meant that she was used to being abandoned by Samuel.

No matter how much she needed Samuel, he would always abandon her for Nicolette.

At that moment, Samuel was happily chatting away with others.

But at the same time, he hadn’t forgotten about Kathleen.

After Samuel turned around again, Christopher had already taken his seat beside Kathleen.

The two of them chattered and laughed, and it seemed to be an eyesore for Samuel.
