All Too Late

Chapter 271

Kathleen woke up in the middle of the night, and the first thing she noticed was Samuel sleeping beside her. Why are we sleeping on the same bed again? Didn’t I ask Tyson not to tell Samuel? He’s useless! Just as that thought flashed across her mind, she noticed something was off.

Samuel claimed he would draw a line between the two of them, but in truth, he still couldn’t persuade himself to pull away Since he couldn’t Kathleen decided that she would Hence, she got off the bed cautiously and prepared to head outside after grabbing her coat. She opened the door and was surprised to see the whole floor being decorated with star-shaped lamps. “Are you leaving?” Samuel’s deep voice sounded behind her causing her to freeze on the spot.

I bet that person has a death wish,” she said, fuming. In a half-joking manner. Samuel said, “I’m surprised you didn’t suspect it was Caleb who wanted me dead “He won’t try to
