All Too Late

Chapter 266 She Is Dead

“I’m glad you understand then.” Kathleen sounded a little exasperated at that point. In response, a stiflingly grim aura started exuding from Samuel as his gaze turned frosty. He was reluctant to let her go. Kathleen soon poured herself another glass of wine seemingly more annoyed than usual. Ugh. D’mn it! I can’t believe that old bat is eyeing Samuel! “Stop drinking.” Samuel ushered while grabbing her wrist That sparked even more displeasure in Kathleen, who snapped. “I want to Even so, Samuel did not loosen his vice-like grip. Kathleen shot a sideways glare at him, her lustrous eyes reddening by the second. “What gives you the right to order me around, Samuel? Who do you think you are?” That stunned Samuel into silence. Still, her sardonic words did not stop here. “Don’t assume there’s hope for you just because I’m smiling at you. Did you know? One year ago, on the night Nicolette restrained me to the operating table, I dreamt of my kids. They were crying, begging me not to kill them. Do you have any idea how much I wanted all of you to die as compensation for what you guys did to my kids?” All the muscles in Samuel’s body tensed up as he listened to her words. “Still, you never listened to me. All you ever concerned about was your precious Nicolette’s ramblings about how she desperately needed to live…” Kathleen continued before sighing and chuckling coldly. At that moment, she could feel waves after waves of despair crashing over her. Samuel gazed at her, his eyes full of worry. Kathleen got to her feet, but the moment she did so she started swaying due to her drunken state. “Stop involving yourself in my life. Samuel. Do you know how incredibly lonely get when the daily hustle and bustle ends and I’m left all alone? She sniffled before continuing “If I hadn’t married you back then I could’ve gotten myself a loving husband and birthed him a baby. We could’ve lived happily ever after.” By then, Samuel had also stood up. He stretched out his arms protectively, fearing that Kathleen would fall over. However, she swatted his hand away. “Samuel, my heart is bruised and battered. I can no longer find it within me to love you anymore. Please understand. I’ll meet with Isaac alone tomorrow, so you don’t have to accompany me. With that, she turned to leave with wobbly steps. A moment later, however, Samuel closed in from behind her and grabbed her waist.

Samuel, not knowing what he was up to. From her current angle, she had the perfect view of Samuel’s chiseled jaw. Some time passed before she lowered her head and burrowed deeper into his embrace. “Kate, look at the sky.” Samuel’s baritone voice suddenly rang out. The sky? Kathleen looked up at

are over. It was only then that Kathleen turned around, revealing her tear-streaked face. The sight of that made Samuel’s chest lurch in pain These days, even a sorrowful look without tears from her was enough to make his heart ache. “I’ll be on my way then.” Kathleen then walked away. Left behind, Samuel watched her departing figure with a sharp twinge in his chest. At this point, all he could do was keep an eye on her from afar until things unfolded themselves. It did not take long for Kathleen to return to her room before she lay sprawled out on the bed. While she was the one who insisted that Samuel keep his distance from her, she could not deny the grueling ache she felt. After drowning in her sorrows for some time, she fell asleep It wasn’t until noon the next day that she woke up with a raging headache. Gosh. I shouldn’t have drank so much last night… Kathleen sat up on her bed when her phone coincidentally rangShe picked it
