All Too Late

Chapter 126

Christopher’s gaze upon Kathleen was disquietingly intense.

Her heart pounded as she heard his words.

Despite being married, Kathleen had never been in a real relationship.

She was always the one running after Samuel, who treated her in much the same way as he always did.

Now that there’s a man who’d confessed his feelings in such a bold and romantic manner, how am I not feeling a thing?

Kathleen struggled to understand her inner turmoil.

Christopher was gentle about it. “I’m not forcing you into anything, Kathleen. I just needed to tell you what’s in my heart. I won’t be upset no matter what you choose in the end.”

Kathleen returned Christopher’s gaze. “You make me look like such a horrible person.”

Christopher grinned crookedly. “No, you don’t. Though you did reject me and have never been intimate with me, at least you’ve never toyed with my feelings. Do what you need to do to heal at your own pace, Kathleen. I’ll always be here waiting for you.”

“I’m not as perfect as you make me out to be,” Kathleen sighed. “I was married.”

Christopher was puzzled. “So what if you were married? Don’t you deserve to live a blissful life?”

Kathleen bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

Christopher smiled kindly. “Be kinder to yourself, Kathleen. Don’t shackle yourself to such an extent.”

Kathleen nodded. “Alright.”

Christopher smiled.

Charles arrived with a large bouquet of roses in his hands at that moment.

“You’re here, Charles!” Kathleen greeted her brother with a smile. “Where did the flowers come from?”

Charles stared at her by way of greeting. “I got this for you for switching wards.”

“Old Mrs. Macari made the arrangements,” Kathleen explained.

“Old Mrs. Macari sure is a good woman,” Charles said gratefully. “There aren’t many old people like her anymore. I’ll be sure to pay her a visit and thank her in person.”

Kathleen shook her head helplessly as she held the large bouquet in her hands. “You shouldn’t go to the Macari residence, Charles. You’re going to quarrel with Samuel when you meet him. That’ll make Grandma really sad.”

“Be good and stay away from him,” Charles coaxed. “Then we’ll have less of a chance to cross paths.”
