All Too Late novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Ulterior Motive

Samuel’s orbs darkened. “I know that.”

“I understand you’re anxious,” Diana began with a deep voice. “However, you need to stand in Kate’s shoes. You will fail very thoroughly if you’re still trying to use your logic to understand her.”

Samuel did not answer, but his eyes became dark.

The car in front of them changed directions as Kathleen and Frances were headed to the Johnson residence.

Since Samuel wanted to send Diana back to the Macari residence, they were not going in the same direction.

However, Samuel would soon return after sending Diana off, so he did not say anything.

When Kathleen and Frances arrived at the entrance of the Johnson residence, a woman walked up to them when they got out of the car.

“Granny.” The woman’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft. “I’ve been waiting for you for some time.”

Frances sent her a look of surprise. “Yareli?”

Yareli? Yareli Yoeger? Kathleen stared at the woman in silence. She heard rumors that Yareli had returned some time ago but had never seen her.

Even when Kathleen and the Yoeger family had such a huge dispute, Yareli was nowhere to be seen. Thus, nobody knew where she had gone.

Yareli walked over with a faint smile. “Granny, please come home with me.”

Frances paused for a moment before shaking her head lightly. “I won’t go home with you.”

“I know that you and my mother and uncle had some misunderstandings before, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s your home,” Yareli muttered. “This is the Johnson residence. Aren’t you afraid of being criticized for staying here?”

“So what if this is the Johnson residence?” Kathleen asked, feeling perplexed. “My elder brother and I are Granny’s grandchildren. Not to mention we can take care of her too.”

It was then that Yareli turned to look at Kathleen. “You’re Kathleen, right? I don’t really know you well, but I want to tell you that Granny is a member of the Yoeger family. Thus, she must go back to the Yoeger residence, understand?”

Kathleen sneered, “I understand.”

Yareli furrowed her eyebrows.

“It’s easy to tell what you’re trying to convey. If you get married one day, let me tell you that you should never come home and complain if your husband bullies you. After all, in your eyes, married daughters are outsiders and no longer family,” Kathleen continued to mock her.

Yareli bit her lip. “You!”

“I know you don’t have a father, so your surname is still Yoeger. However, Granny is your grandmother from your maternal side, so the Yoeger residence isn’t really your home. Why stay there, then?” Kathleen wanted her to have a taste of her own medicine.

“So what? I grew up under Granny’s care. I’m closer to her than all her other grandchildren would ever be,” Yareli said coldly.

“Although I didn’t grow up with Granny, her DNA is in my veins. Are you trying to say that I would mistreat my own grandmother?” Kathleen questioned indifferently.

Yareli was at a loss for words.

“All right. Stop quarreling,” Frances stopped them.

“Granny, you should head home with me. What would outsiders think if you lived here?” Yareli advised worriedly.

“Haha.” Kathleen snorted. “It seems you’re just worried about getting criticized, not Granny.”

Yareli’s face turned morose.

“How funny,” Kathleen ridiculed in a monotonous voice. “Didn’t you know that your mother mistreated Granny? You returned days ago, after all. Besides, your mother didn’t even utter a single apology about this. She must be waiting for the entire incident to pass. How innocent of her to think that it’s possible.”

Knowing how sharp Kathleen’s tongue was, Yareli turned to Frances. “Granny, I’m back now. I promise you that I will protect you from now onward.”

Frances furrowed her eyebrows.

“Tell me. Are you willing to head home with me?” Yareli reached out to take Frances’ hand.

“Vanessa?” Frances’ expression was blank. “Why are you here, Vanessa?”

Yareli was taken aback for a moment before furrowing her eyebrows. “Granny, that’s my mother. I’m Yareli. Your favorite granddaughter, Yareli.”

While saying that, Yareli even shot Kathleen a smug look.
