All Too Late novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Get The Papers Signed

Benjamin rang the doorbell after he finished his call.

Kathleen was standing inside when the door opened.

She had just finished her shower, and her face was still pale.

“I bought some pizza.” Benjamin did not know how to react when he saw Kathleen’s expression.

They felt awkward meeting each other because they had experienced the same trauma.

“Thank you.” Kathleen took a step back and allowed Benjamin to enter.

Benjamin walked to the table and put down the pizza in his hand. “It’s still hot. Eat up.”

“Gemma went to work the night shift.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “I didn’t expect her to become a nurse. She’s amazing.”

Benjamin froze for a moment. “Nothing is amazing about it. There are many nurses out there who are better than her.”

Kathleen shook her head. “She’s really amazing, especially after that matter.”

“Have you been doing well?” Benjamin asked in a hoarse voice.

“Yes.” Kathleen took her seat.

Benjamin took a cigarette box out of his pocket.

Kathleen hesitated before saying, “Benjamin, can you not smoke in the house?”

“I’m sorry.” Benjamin felt awkward. He did that because he was too nervous.

Kathleen ate the pizza slowly. “Thank you for saving me.”

“Don’t go out so late next time.” Benjamin’s heart ached for her. “Even if you have an emergency, find someone to accompany you. Don’t go out alone at night.”

“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.

“I called a man named Tyson, but I didn’t tell him you’re here. I wanted to ask you first.” Benjamin looked at her. “Should I ask him to come here?”

Kathleen shook her head. “It’s okay. It’s bright outside. I can go home alone.”

“All right.” Benjamin nodded as he sized Kathleen up.

He had many words to say, but he held himself back.

Who am I to interfere with her matters now? She’s married, and the man named Tyson is not her husband. Is her marriage that painful to her? Is that why she has…

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Kathleen and Benjamin exchanged glances.

“Is that Gemma?” Kathleen was shocked.

“She doesn’t get off until noon,” said Benjamin as he went to open the door.

He opened the door and saw a handsome, elegant-looking man in his long black coat. He seemed unfriendly, judging from his looks.

Benjamin recalled seeing this handsome man.

He’s Samuel Macari, the CEO of Macari Group and the head of the Macari family. He’s also Old Mrs. Macari’s grandson and Kathleen’s husband.

“Benjamin, who is it?” Kathleen walked to the door.

She froze when she saw Samuel.

He came rather quickly.

Kathleen knew it would be a matter of time for Samuel to find her once someone contacted Tyson.

Samuel narrowed his eyes and stared at Kathleen coldly.

Kathleen was wearing a pink hoodie with a cartoon figure printed on it and a pair of grey sweatpants. Her hair was tied up in a bun, which made her look cute and fresh.

She still looks like an eighteen-year-old university student though she’s already twenty-three. She looks so fresh and charming.

Instantly, anger surged within Samuel.

How dare she stay in a stranger’s house? Doesn’t she know how dangerous the world is?

“Come with me!” Samuel’s voice was deep and cold.

“How did you find this place?” There were no emotions in Kathleen’s voice. “You could have just sent Tyson to pick me up. Why did you come?”
