All Too Late novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496 You Messed Up My Hair

Samuel’s eyes never left Kathleen.

"What’s your next step?"

"Axeworth Corporation is now leaderless.We should strike while the iron is still hot.Raymond will make a move if I don’t, no matter what," she replied.

"Yeah, you should do it yourself, rather than letting Raymond take the claim and strengthen Blissful Sect," he agreed.

"You’re right, and it’s not too late yet." Kathleen gave him a meaningful look.

"So…"

"Do you want to go back?" Samuel swallowed.

"I don’t trust anyone else to do this." She pursed her lips.

"I’ll go with you." He was worried about her as well.

"Listen to me, Samuel." She wanted to persuade him to stay.

"Nothing you say can convince me otherwise."

He was resolute.

She faltered before saying, "All right, we’ll go together."

Samuel squeezed her hand.

"I want to know your past, but I know there are some things even I cannot get involved with."

"I understand." Kathleen blinked at him.She wouldn’t stop him if he wanted to go.

There were no longer any dangers lurking there.

The worst that could happen was Raymond.

News of Adina’s troubles would soon reach Raymond, and he would be too preoccupied to care about Kathleen and Samuel.

Both of them were immediately on the move.

Kathleen took care of Samuel during the journey.

His leg was almost completely recovered, but his right hand was still healing slowly.She would be perturbed every time she saw his scarred hand.

Samuel woke up suddenly, and his breath caught when he noticed the sorrow on Kathleen’s face.He pressed his forehead to hers.

"Why do you always look at me like that?"

"Should I be at peace instead?" She returned.

He didn’t say a word, but his expression said yes.

"Samuel, you still don’t get it.I stayed with you because I’d moved on from the past.Of course I will be worried and sad when you’re hurt.I didn’t choose to be with you out of guilt and obligation.Don’t worry." Kathleen sighed.

He muttered self-deprecatingly, "Do you know that I always felt like a bastard for treating you that way? I understand if you don’t forgive me, but I can’t let you go."

She stared deeply into his eyes.

"It’s water under the bridge, Samuel." He nodded.

"Rest for a while longer.We’re almost there." She took his hand in hers.

He flashed her a reassured smile.

"I’m well rested."

A flight attendant announced over the PA system that they would be landing soon.

They exited the airport half an hour later, and a car was waiting for them at the curb.

They were driven to Charles’ mansion where he greeted them at the door.

"Charles!"

Kathleen walked toward him.His lips curved up.

"You’re here."

"Yeah." She nodded.

His gaze shifted to Samuel.

"Come on in."

"Okay!"

Kathleen hooked both her hands around Samuel and Charles’ arms and entered the mansion hand in hand.

They reached the living room and sat on the couch.

Charles started gravely, "Raymond has made the first move.He has been coveting Axeworth Corporation’s territory for a long time."
