All Too Late novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260 You Grew On Me

“Why are you picking a fight with a dog?” Kathleen smirked.

“Snowy didn’t know how to play fetch at first. I’m the one who taught it that year you left us. Now, it humiliates me in front of you. Don’t expect me to go easy on it from now on,” explained Samuel.

Seeing Samuel go through the roof, Snowy still lay on the ground, giving him the cold shoulder.

Anger got the better of Samuel there and then.

Flashing a smile, Kathleen uttered, “You were the one saying you didn’t want Snowy when I brought it back. I then wanted to bring it to the condominium, yet you objected to that. Perhaps Snowy resents you because of that.”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

“Or maybe… When you gifted Nicolette a cat, you got the stench of a cat on your body. Snowy must’ve remembered that smell of yours, so it loathes you,” added Kathleen.

After saying that, she went to retrieve the frisbee and played with Snowy.

Samuel grimaced.

Not only had he managed to traumatize other people, but he had even left scars in Snowy’s heart.

Kathleen and Snowy were having such a good time, but Samuel could only watch from the sidelines.

A sudden thought popped into his head. How nice it would’ve been had the child been given a chance to be born…

Thinking of that, he figured he was being too selfish to demand that much from Kathleen.

As long as she’s happy, nothing else matters.

Thump!

Samuel felt a tremendous pain in the back of his head.

“Watch out!” shouted Kathleen as she bolted toward Samuel. It was too late nonetheless.

“Are you all right?” Kathleen was worried. “I tossed the frisbee just now, but it changed its trajectory on its own. It wasn’t my intention.”

As Samuel caressed his head, he felt a sense of relief that he wasn’t bleeding, at the very least.

“I’m fine,” came his reply, and his tone was as calm as a millpond.

Kathleen quickly apologized to him, “I’m sorry about that.”

Gazing at her being all apologetic and anxious, Samuel had the urge to yank her right into his embrace and shower her with fondness.

“Help me back inside.” He reached out on that note.

Kathleen grabbed hold of his arm and agreed in an awkward manner, “Okay.”

Soon after, they entered the house.

Kathleen ordered the housekeeper to lead Snowy back to the pet house.

She then supported Samuel upstairs and made it all the way to the bedroom they had once shared together.

Out of the blue, Samuel came to a halt. “My room is next to yours.”

After dropping that sentence, he brought Kathleen to the guest room instead.

Prior to that, the guest room had already been tidied up.

Samuel’s daily necessities and clothes had also been moved into that room.

The second they stepped into the room, Samuel wanted to head to the couch.

However, Kathleen hindered his wish and urged, “You ought to go lie in bed.”

Samuel nodded obediently.

As he sat at the bedside, he began removing his jacket.

Kathleen caught a glimpse of it and recognized that jacket in a heartbeat. “Is this the jacket I got you last time?”

“Yes.” Samuel nodded.

Kathleen was at a loss for words. “Why don’t you wear a different one for a change?”

“But this is the only one you bought,” came Samuel’s retort. He felt aggrieved as he spoke.

Upon hearing that, Kathleen was dumbfounded.

Why has this become my fault?

“You even promised to get me new clothes but then went back on your word.” Samuel lay down as he spoke. “Because of that, I didn’t get to wear brand new garments for the New Year.”

While listening to him, Kathleen kept her lips buttoned.

Side-eyeing that docile lady right before him, Samuel complained, “You’re such a liar!”

Heaving a long sigh, Kathleen tried to elucidate the reason. “I didn’t bluff you. I merely got so busy in filming that I didn’t have any spare time to do it.”

“Oh? But you had plenty of time to offer Caleb your help.” A tinge of jealousy rose within Samuel’s heart.

Kathleen poked at his shoulder and refuted, “How can you compare clothes with humans? Besides, I helped Vivian out, not him.”

“It’s the same because they’re siblings. Caleb is just going to fancy you even more now that you’ve given Vivian a helping hand,” said Samuel softly.

At that point, he wasn’t acting up. In fact, he was truly in great sorrow.

All Kathleen felt was helplessness.

“Can I ask you a question, Kate?” Samuel went on with a deep voice, “I hope you can answer me truthfully.”
