All Too Late

Chapter 392

Chapter 392
Outsider Samuel’s brows drew together when he heard her last name. “What’s your relationship with each other?”
Leonard’s eyes cut to him.
“We don’t have one.”
Kelly’s gaze darkened noticeably.
“Yeah, we’re just friends.”
Kathleen gave her a pointed look.
It doesn’t look like they’re just platonic friends. “Let’s go in, Mommy.
I’m hungry.” Desiree pouted.
“All right.” Kathleen nodded.
“You can put Desi down, Mr.
Sullivan.
She can walk on her own.” Leonard did as told, and Desiree held Kathleen’s hand.
“I want shrimp, Mommy.” “Sure.” Kathleen smiled and led Desiree inside. Meanwhile, Samuel glanced at Eilam and asked in a deep, affectionate voice, “Aren’t you hungry?” “I’m a man; I can endure hunger for a bit,” Eilam answered sensibly, holding onto Samuel’s other hand. Samuel’s gaze softened.
“All right, come along.
We’ll go look for Mommy and Desi.” “Okay!” The little boy nodded enthusiastically.
Leonard smirked at Ryder.
“He has a wingman.
What about you?” Ryder grunted softly and strode into the restaurant. Then, Leonard turned toward Kelly.
“You can handle your parents alone, yeah? I won’t be heading up, then.”
Her parents were here on the second floor as well.
She said, “If you don’t show up with me, I’ll be in for a tongue lashing.” Leonard’s expression cooled.
“Kelly, I think I’ve made myself very clear.” “I’m not twisting your arm here, Leonard.
This is not an indication that I like you.
I wouldn’t have met you if my family hadn’t pressured me,” she asserted.
“To be clear, it’s for the best if you don’t have feelings for me.
I don’t want any trouble.
Please tell your parents to give up trying to matchmake both of us,” he stated matter-of-factly.
Kelly bristled with indignation.
“Do you think my parents are the only ones to blame? Why don’t you say that to your grandpa as well?”
Leonard merely gave her a long look.
“Imust have been blind to fall in love with you.
You were a coward seven years ago, and you are worse seven years later.
You’re nothing but a piece of trash!” she spat angrily before leaving.
His gaze darkened.
She has some nerve to call me trash.
She’s not the same person she was seven years ago.
Did someone reincarnate into her body? She used to be meek and cute, and that version of her is far preferable to her personality right now. Leonard adjusted his tie and made his way toward Samuel. Meanwhile, Kathleen let Desiree hold a plate as she spooned Desiree’s favorite foods onto it, and Desiree watched with wide eyes. Kathleen cocked her neck to look at her son.
“What would you like?”
“I’m not picky,” he answered.
“Daddy said to eat proteins and vegetables to grow taller.” She smiled.
“He’s right, and you should drink more milk as well.” “Mommy, do you think I’ll grow to be as tall as Daddy?” Eilam asked eagerly.
“Of course, he’s your daddy, and you’re his son.
You’ll be just like him when you grow up.” She laughed.
He met her gaze squarely.
“Mommy, I want food that will make me grow taller.” “Coming right up.” Kathleen made a platefor him and eyed Samuel’s injured hand. Eilam caught the look and said to Leonard, “Mr.
Sullivan, would you mind walking Desi and me to the table over there?”
“Oh, sure.” He hesitated before ushering the kids there.
Kathleen didn’t want to trouble Leonard, but Samuel spoke up.
“What should I eat?” That caused her to still and successfully returned her attention to him.
“You said I don’t listen to you.
I’m injured now and don’t know what to eat.
You should decide for me.”
“This isn’t listening to me.
This is slavery,” she huffed. She picked up a plate and took spoonful’s of greens.
“These.” Samuel accepted the plate and didn’t show a hint of annoyance.
“Thank you.” He would gladly eat anything she put in front of him, even if it was poison.
He carried a plate heaped with a variety of greens and stood upright alongside Kathleen. Her brows furrowed.
“Aren’t you going to sit down and start eating?” “Waiting for you.” His answer was succinct.
“No need, go to Eil and Desi instead.
It’s better to look after the kids ourselves and not bother other people.
I’ll be there in a minute.” Other people? Samuel’s brows rose.
“Is Ryder an outsider?” She faced him with her arms crossed across her chest.
“What do you think?”
He remained silent.
My thoughts don’t matter.
What matters most is what you think. “Hurry on,” Kathleen urged and moved to take her favorite dishes.
Samuel’s attention was pulled to Ryder approaching them, and he didn’t move an inch.
