All Too Late

“Did you give me a chance to do that?” asked Kathleen coldly. “In normal circumstances, even if a normal person opposes you, you should still know your limits and stop the harassment, and what did you do?”

Astrid was slightly startled.

“Do you understand what social distancing is?” continued Kathleen displeasedly.

“Kate, you’re scaring me,” said Astrid with an aggrieved tone.

Kathleen retorted with a stone-cold face, “I can be even scarier. Do you want to see that?”

Astrid was stunned.

“Even though Madeline is just a child, you should still understand that you shouldn’t invade her personal space,” scolded Kathleen coldly. “I hope you understand that.”

Samuel looked over at Kathleen solemnly.

She had a lot of different personalities, which he had yet to understand.

He had always thought she was gentle like a bunny. At the moment, she seemed more like a little fox in sheep’s clothing.

“You may leave now. Do you want us to have a bad appetite because of you?” asked Samuel as he looked at Astrid frostily.

Astrid’s expression looked as if someone had slapped her across the face. With that, she turned and left.

Kathleen was speechless.

Why did Astrid have to do that? If she wants to chase after Christopher, then she should go ahead. Why did she have to bother me?

Just then, Madeline stopped crying.

She tugged at Kathleen’s arm and said, “Katie, I’m hungry.”

Kathleen swallowed her feelings and stopped dwelling over the matter. She smiled at Madeline. “You should dig in then. These are made for you,” she said.

Madeline opened her mouth and waited for Kathleen to feed her.

Kathleen chuckled and sat down. She then fed her with a small spoon.

“Madeline?” Federick was rendered speechless.

He was happy that his daughter was becoming more normal, but he was taken aback by the sight of Madeline being close with Kathleen.

After all, Madeline and Kathleen were not even that close.

“It’s okay,” said Kathleen with a grin. “I don’t have anything else to do at the kitchen.”
