All Too Late novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 Someone Else

Kathleen found this a little funny. “Of course, I did lose my memory.”

Eil tilted his head, looking at her oddly. “Hmm. Then I’ll believe that you really don’t want to remarry Daddy.”

“Why?” Kathleen didn’t understand.

“Because I was testing you,” replied Eil with a shrug. “Based on your reaction, you seem to have no feelings for Daddy whatsoever.”

Kathleen snorted. “Is it that obvious?”

He nodded.

Kathleen took a deep breath. “Eil, if I don’t get back together with your daddy, will you hate me for it?” she asked.

“No.” Eil shook his head gently. “As Daddy said before, you have the right to decide your future. He said that Desi and I should not hold you back.”

Kathleen was surprised. “Samuel actually said such things to you?”

“Yeah,” murmured Eil.

“When did he tell you this?” Kathleen was a little surprised.

“It was the day we were brought here,” Eil replied. “Daddy said I am the older brother, so I need to take care of you and Desi. He told me to keep an eye on Desi to ensure she behaves well and to make sure that she doesn’t force you and Daddy together.”

Kathleen’s heart softened. “He truly said this?”

Eil nodded again.

Kathleen smiled helplessly. “He really knows how to ease my burdens.”

She remained silent for a bit before asking, “Eil, do you want to go abroad with me?”

A hint of surprise registered on Eil’s face. “Do you want to leave, Mommy?”

Kathleen nodded. “When things have been sorted out, then we’ll leave with Granny. What say you?”

Eil had a slightly distraught expression on his face. “If we all leave, then won’t Daddy be left alone?”

Kathleen did not respond.

The boy pondered over this briefly before turning toward Kathleen again. With a serious expression on his face, Eil asked, “Mommy, can I stay behind?”
Kathleen was stunned. “Do you want to stay?”

“I want to accompany Daddy,” said Eil morosely. “If we leave, then Daddy will be left alone. Won’t that be sad?”

Kathleen looked at him, her expression solemn. “I will respect your decision.”

“Mommy, it’s not that I don’t love you. I love you both!” Eil then proceeded to give Kathleen a hug. “Desi would definitely be willing to go with you. I’ll stay here with Daddy.”

Kathleen could feel a pang of hurt and discomfort.

Samuel has raised the boy well. He is responsible and very mature.

She patted his head. “I’m going to continue cooking. Why don’t you go and play with Desi?”

“Okay.” Eil then wriggled away from Kathleen and left the room.

Kathleen looked at the two children playing in the living room with a gentle but complicated expression.

Am I being too selfish? Should I think this through for the sake of the kids? But can those wounds really be healed? How do we even start over?

At the pier the next day, Kathleen stood there wearing a black trench coat and a pair of sunglasses.

A while later, a cruise ship arrived.

She walked over.

Several medical staff rushed out to push out a wiry-looking teenager who lay on a medical bed.

It was Zion Hoover.

She walked over and asked bluntly, “You are all hired by Axeworth Corporation?”

“No, we are not.” They shook their heads in fright and denial. “We are just ordinary medical staff.”

Kathleen said indifferently, “Then there is nothing more for you to do here.”

The medical staff looked at each other.

Kathleen folded her arms and said, “If you think there is a problem, then you may take him back with you.”

None of them made a sound.

Kathleen motioned for her own staff to come over and help Zion into the ambulance.
