Kathleen silently listened to them as they finished their words.
All Too Late novel Chapter 42
In an instant, the cake in her mouth didn’t seem sweet anymore.
It tasted bland.
However, the two women didn’t notice her at all and left after they finished chatting.
Kathleen wanted to drink some water to quench her dry throat.
Just then, someone handed her a glass of warm water.
As she glanced in the direction of the beautiful hand that was holding the glass, she saw Christopher.
“Chris?” Kathleen took the glass from him and gulped down the water.
She had only focused on getting food just now and had forgotten to get herself some water.
Christopher looked at her before glancing at Samuel, who was by the side. He then asked, “How could he leave you here by yourself?”
Hasn’t he thought about how uncomfortable and out of place Kathleen would feel on her first time at such an event?
“I’m used to it.” Kathleen sipped her water slowly. After eating some cake, she drank some more water. As she would eventually feel full from it, she then decided to stop eating.
I’ll eat some vegetables and meat later at night.
Kathleen started planning the menu for her meal later on.
She had to constantly keep her mind occupied with other things to stop herself from thinking about Samuel and Nicolette.
When Kathleen said that she was used to it, she meant that she was used to being abandoned by Samuel.
No matter how much she needed Samuel, he would always abandon her for Nicolette.
At that moment, Samuel was happily chatting away with others.
But at the same time, he hadn’t forgotten about Kathleen.
After Samuel turned around again, Christopher had already taken his seat beside Kathleen.
The two of them chattered and laughed, and it seemed to be an eyesore for Samuel.
Lowering his glass, Samuel said, “Please excuse me.”
He then walked toward Kathleen.
Kathleen sensed that there was a growing pressure getting closer to her. When she glanced sideways, she saw that it was Samuel.
Samuel looked at the food on her plate and grumbled, “Is that all that you’re eating?”
“I don’t feel like eating anything else,” Kathleen replied with a frown.
“You’re too picky,” Samuel fussed.
“Are you only finding out about this now?” Kathleen asked nonchalantly. “Oh right. You don’t even care. Even Maria knows more about me than you.”
At this, Samuel was rendered speechless.
Is she intentionally trying to make me look bad in front of Christopher?
“Kate has a weak stomach. Most of the food here was prepared beforehand and is already cold. How do you expect her to eat those?” Christopher questioned him coldly.
Samuel was displeased by his words.
Even Christopher knows that she has a weak stomach?
“I’ll bring you to eat something warm.” Samuel pulled Kathleen onto her feet.
Her hands were dainty and soft.
Of course, Samuel would get frustrated seeing her talk to other men.
But when he saw her talking to Christopher, he felt as if he was about to lose a precious item of his.
He gripped her hand tightly as if it was the only way that he could slowly make that feeling disappear.
“Christopher, I know you’re busy and probably don’t even have the time for a meal. So I won’t be inviting you to join us,” Samuel told him coldly.
With that, he then walked away with Kathleen.
