All Too Late

It was a month after he and Kathleen got married.

One time, he saw Kathleen and Christopher chatting happily.

There were guests in the house, and they didn’t know Kathleen was married to Samuel.

However, they knew Kathleen’s relationship with the Macari family, so they jokingly

suggested Kathleen and Christopher be a couple. They even mentioned that the two looked

like a perfect match.

At that time, Samuel felt slightly insecure and uneasy. However, the feeling vanished that

night.

He had forced Kathleen onto the bed and told her to tell him that she loved him.

In that instance, Kathleen was sweet and obedient. She did everything that he asked her to

and satisfied his every desire.

Samuel suddenly felt that his strange behavior toward Kathleen was because she always

indulged him.

The next day, it was after Kathleen woke up when she realized that Samuel was holding her

tight in his arms.

She struggled to break free. “It’s hot. Let go of me.”

Samuel’s body temperature was usually a little on the high side.

Hence, Kathleen liked to hug him in the winter.

Her body was weak, and she was afraid of the cold. Thus, laying in Samuel’s embrace

helped her sleep peacefully.

However, she no longer liked it anymore.

Samuel knew that Kathleen was not bothered by the heat and that it was just an excuse to

hide the fact she no longer liked his embrace.

This is definitely because of Christopher.

“I’m not hot,” Samuel whispered as he tightened his arms around her.

Kathleen was speechless. “By the way, you haven’t given me the divorce agreement yet.

You promised to give it to me.”

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Samuel asked coldly. “If we don’t get a divorce, that piece of

paper will be wasted. We have to think about the environment.”

Hearing that, Kathleen was at a loss for words.

What a sly jerk!

“Samuel, you are the CEO of a big company. How can you not keep your promise?” she

asked angrily.

It was early in the morning, and she had just woken up, so her voice was alluringly husky.

Hearing that, Samuel’s hands started traveling up and down her body.

Kathleen snorted and said, “Stop it. I don’t want to. You promised me that you won’t have

sex with me for this whole month. Samuel, if you continue to break your promises, I’ll be

genuinely angry.”

She was not without her temper and limits.

Samuel glanced at her and replied, “I was just touching a little.”

“That is also forbidden.” Kathleen pressed her soft hands against his chest and said

seriously, “Samuel, if you don’t end things with Nicolette, I will never be able to accept you.

You are already dirty.”

I’m dirty?

Samuel frowned and asked, “How am I dirty?”

“You know the answer to that.” With that, Kathleen sat up and got out of bed.

Meanwhile, Samuel furrowed his brows as he wondered what she meant.

After they finished washing up, they went downstairs together to eat breakfast.

When Wynnie saw Kathleen, she asked concernedly, “Are you feeling better?”

“Yes, I’m feeling much better. My fever is gone,” Kathleen answered with a small smile.

Wynnie looked at Kathleen meaningfully and said, “That’s good.”

“Mm-hm.” After that, Kathleen lowered her head and started to eat.

A while later, Wynnie peeled an egg and handed it to Kathleen. “You should eat more eggs.”

“Thank you, Mom,” Kathleen said with a sweet smile.

Seeing that, Wynnie felt happy. “I’ll ask the chef to cook some salmon for dinner so that you

can have some nutrition. You are too skinny.”

When Kathleen heard that she was about to eat fish for dinner, she felt a little nauseous.

At that moment, she realized that she couldn’t bear the thought of eating anything that had

a fishy taste.

“Mom, I am craving beef,” Kathleen said softly. “Can we eat beef instead?”

“Of course,” Wynnie said with a smile. “You rarely tell us what you want to eat. Now that

you’ve specifically requested it, there is no reason for me to not satisfy your cravings. How

does grilled beef steak sound?”

“Good.” Kathleen nodded.

After hearing that, Samuel gave Kathleen a side glance and realized that she was indeed

skinnier than before.

Has she not been eating proper meals in the past few days?

After breakfast, Samuel and Wynnie left the house together.

Just when Wynnie was about to get in her car, she called out to Samuel.

Samuel obediently walked up to her and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Samuel, can’t you be nicer to Katie?” Wynnie said angrily. “I don’t know what she’ll think if

she finds out what happened last night. However, if she does find out, she will never forgive

you. I’ve eaten plenty of meals together with you two and only seen you peel crab for

Kathleen once. However, last night, you fed Nicolette cake in public. Don’t you feel

ashamed?”

Samuel remained silent.

“At that time, I honestly wanted to smash the cake into your faces and curse at you

shameless couple.” As she spoke, her eyes turned red. “Samuel, do you know how furious I

am?”

Samuel furrowed his brows. “Mom, Nicolette had just finished her chemotherapy treatment

and was too weak to raise her arm.”

“Wow, she was too weak to raise her arm? But she was clearly strong enough to walk on her

own!” Wynnie snapped. “She even had the strength to hug you. How is she too weak to

raise her arm?”

After hearing that, Samuel didn’t utter a word.

“Samuel, I know you are wondering why I care so deeply for Katie even though you are my

son.” Wynnie glanced to the side. “Nicolette’s actions are exactly the same as the woman

who seduced your granddad back then. I remember seeing my mother, your granny,

secretly crying at night, but she tolerated him for the sake of my sister and I. It hurt my

heart deeply to see her suffer so. Don’t do the same to Katie. Otherwise, I will make sure to

destroy both you and Nicolette’s reputations!”

After she finished speaking, she turned, got into the car, and drove away.

At that instant, Samuel suddenly thought of his granny.

She was a gentle but resilient woman.

Everyone thought that she would never ask for a divorce.

However, one day, she shocked everyone by suddenly asking for a divorce.
