All Too Late novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 Kidnapped Before

“Samuel, I had a great time drinking with Mrs. Macari,” Kathleen said adorably as she wrapped her arm around Samuel’s waist.

“It’s better to have a daughter-in-law than a son,” Wynnie lamented at the side.

After saying that, she even let out a burp.

“Dad.” Samuel looked at Calvin.The latter smiled. “I haven’t seen your mom drunk in a long time.”

He walked over to Wynnie and patted her back lightly. “You’ve drunk too much. What will you do if you feel sick later?”

“I have you.” Wynnie blinked innocently like her younger self. “You told me that I can drink to my heart’s content as long as you’re by my side.”

Her words brought a smile to Calvin’s face.

He bent down and scooped Wynnie up in his arms before saying to Samuel, “Why are you guys still here?”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

Heading toward the stairs, Calvin added, “Don’t worry about the kids since they’re staying with us. That incident won’t happen again. I’ve taken care of that housekeeper already. Hurry up and go home now.”

There was a hint of disdain in his voice.

“Haha! Samuel, you’re unwanted here.” Kathleen giggled.

A look of helplessness flashed across Samuel’s face as he looked at the drunk woman in his arms.

“You should leave, too,” said Calvin with a stern face.

Then, he went upstairs, carrying Wynnie.

Kathleen leaned her head on Samuel’s shoulder. “It’s all your fault. I’m also unwanted now.”

“Let’s go,” Samuel said.

“Okay.”

They then got into their car.

After Samuel asked the driver to drive off, Kathleen leaned against his shoulder again and noted, “Samuel, your parents are so sweet to each other.”

“Yeah.” Samuel nodded.

“How come you don’t have a bright personality when they’re so lovey-dovey? Instead, you’re so calculative.” Kathleen was very curious.

Samuel was at a loss for words. He wasn’t sure how to answer that question.

“When I see you acting like this, I feel worried about Eil. I hope he’ll grow up to be a cheerful person,” Kathleen mumbled worriedly.

“Don’t worry. He won’t be like me.”

Samuel touched her face and found that it was a bit hot due to the wine she had consumed.

“You didn’t answer my question.” Kathleen pouted.

She did not grow up with Samuel since young, and on top of that, she had lost her memories. Thus, she had no idea what Samuel had gone through.

His family structure was very simple, so under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t have had any painful childhood experiences.

How did he end up like this?

“I was once kidnapped when I was five,” Samuel admitted, his eyes darkening.

Kathleen was stunned. “Did you get hurt?”

“I escaped,” Samuel answered indifferently.

“At five years old?” Kathleen asked in astonishment.

Samuel gave a nod, and it was then that Kathleen seemed to understand why Eilam was so smart.

He had gotten it from Samuel.

“Did you toughen yourself up because you were afraid?” Kathleen’s gentle voice was laced with intrigue.

Samuel knew that he had to be honest with Kathleen about this, but he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

“No. I’m only afraid that you will leave me,” Samuel said in a low voice.

Kathleen chuckled. “Are you serious? I don’t believe you.”

Flashing her a half-smile, Samuel held her hand and stated, “I’m serious.”

Kathleen closed her eyes. Softly, she spoke. “Samuel, I won’t force you if you don’t want to tell me. There’s no need for you to conceal the truth like this.”

After saying that, she stayed still as she fell into deep thought.

She knew that everyone had painful experiences.

Since Samuel didn’t want to talk about it, it meant he didn’t want to relive it.

She was not the type of annoying person who would force him to do that.

Samuel swallowed hard and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you.”

It’s…
