All Too Late

Chapter 462 The Point Of No Return Mila fixed her gaze on Samuel. “This way, please.” She intentionally led them to a table as far as possible from Kathleen, fearing that things would turn ugly. Samuel trailed behind Mila to the table and sat down. “I didn’t expect you to bring your friend over, too,” were Mila’s words. Samuel merely gave a flat response. “Mm.” Then came Ashley’s declaration, “I’m not just Samuel’s friend, Mdm. Hunt. More accurately, I’m her girlfriend.” She wore a smug look at that. The corner of Mila’s lips curled upward. “Oh, my. I hope I didn’t offend you with my choice of words, Ms. Zeller. I was just trying to stay neutral and as future-proof as I possibly can be. It’s just so I don’t have to owe anyone any explanation if something were to crop up in the future.

Don’t get worked up, okay?” “Oh, no. I also didn’t mean anything else, Mdm. Hunt.” Ashley’s words clearly implied otherwise. “That’s good to know.” Flashing a half-smile, Mila quickly changed the topic. “What would you like to eat, Samuel? Do you have any cravings?” “My mom asked me to support your business. I’ll leave it to you,” uttered Samuel placidly. To be honest, he was reluctant to show up at first. It was Wynnie who had forced him to do so. No matter his amnesia, he would never go against her wishes. She was his mother, after all, so he had to do her bidding. A faint smile appeared on Mila’s face. “Okay, I’ll serve you something nice, then.” Samuel gave a nod. His gaze unwittingly landed on Kathleen and her group. At that time, Kathleen was chatting with Levi. “Why don’t you try and talk to her nicely?” “But she’s been giving me the cold shoulder.” Levi sounded aggrieved. “Why don’t you help me, Kate?” “Uh… Okay,” said Kathleen as she massaged her temples. “If I happen to ruin it somehow, don’t come after me.” Levi winced on that note. “Could it get any worse than what I’m facing right now?” he commented. “No, indeed.” Kathleen just had to admit it. Levi fell speechless at that. Looking at that intimate duo happily chit-chatting, the look in Samuel’s eyes darkened slightly. I never should’ve stepped into this restaurant in the first place

then, Queena pushed the food cart to the table where Samuel was at and placed a steak on the grill to begin cooking. Halfway through the process, she must’ve gone into a daze, for she accidentally brushed her thumb against a grill stone. Immediately, her thumb was seared and reddened like a tomato. Concurrently, a yelp came through her lips. “Ouch!” At that juncture, Levi suddenly leaped up from his

to her feet and followed Queena’s footsteps. A deep frown was etched on Samuel’s face. Why on earth did she have to follow? When Kathleen entered the kitchen, Queena was already rummaging through the first aid kit, seemingly looking for some medicine. Kathleen walked up and clasped Queena’s hand before dragging the latter toward the sink. She turned the pipe on and placed Queena’s seared thumb under the running cold water. “Always give it a good rinse before applying any medication.” “Thank you.” Queena expressed her appreciation, her eyes teary. A faint smile appeared on Kathleen’s face as she fished out her phone to dial Yadiel’s number. The call quickly got through. “Fetch me some burn ointment,” was Kathleen’s command. She hung up the phone right after that. Queena bit her lip, gawking at her injured finger. Out of the blue, Kathleen crossed her arms and asked, “Why did you break up with Levi?” Her words stupefied Queena on the spot. “Don’t

simply wanted to get to the bottom of this.” Kathleen portrayed a fair-minded demeanor as she spoke. “Forgive my bluntness, though. If you’ve decided to let him go, surely you wouldn’t mind telling me, right?” Queena froze at that. Initially, she had really thought of keeping it to herself. However, considering Kathleen had already put it that way, Queena was left with no choice. “He’s been seeing someone else. During his absence, a woman came to me and showed me some photos of them acting all lovey-dovey with each other. I couldn’t accept it, so I left him,” Queena gruffly blurted out the truth. Kathleen blinked in disbelief. “Seriously?” The look on Queena’s face was stern as she said, “There’s no reason for me to lie.” “No, no, no. I mean, Levi wouldn’t do such a thing.” Kathleen’s visage was impassive, but her tone was all the more indifferent. Queena knitted her brows. “What makes you say that?” “His mom is one of those devoted bunch. Naturally, Levi is, too. They’re the kind of people who would forbid getting physical before marriage. I bet when you guys were dating each other, he had never crossed the line except giving you some pecks, correct?” remarked Kathleen. Her deadpan countenance didn’t waver at all. Queena nodded in agreement. Kathleen went on, “Trust me. I met Levi’s mom before. She’s super strict when it comes to educating her son. Well, even if he’s nothing of the sort, he wouldn’t just get himself another partner like that. I’ve known him long enough to know him inside and out.” Listening
