All Too Late novel Chapter 65

Even though Kathleen had always been acting meek toward Samuel, it did not mean that she was a weak person.

No matter how weak or docile she was, she would not allow a mere bodyguard to order her around.

Sarah looked at Kathleen with displeasure.

This woman is so disgusting. She has snatched Samuel from Nicolette. On top of that, she’s acting so arrogantly now. Still, I don’t care how she treats me. After all, Nicolette is the future daughter-in-law of the Macari family. Hence, I only need to please Nicolette.

Kathleen got up and went back to her room.

Left with nowhere else to go, Sarah could only sit in the living room.

Samuel went to the hospital.

Nicolette was thrilled to see him. “Samuel, you’re finally here!”

Looking at her coldly, Samuel asked sternly, “Nicolette, I’m giving you one more chance. Did you send anyone to hurt Kathleen?”

“No, I didn’t.” Nicolette’s heart skipped a beat.

Why is he suddenly bringing up this matter again?

“The man who injured Benjamin has been caught,” Samuel said impassively.

Nicolette was stunned.

“He couldn’t withstand the torture and came clean about everything.” Looking at Nicolette expressionlessly, Samuel asked, “Why did you do that?”

“You’re asking me why?” Nicolette’s eyes instantly brimmed with tears when she heard his accusation.

Samuel frowned at her.

Wiping the tears off her face, Nicolette admitted, ”This is because I love you, Samuel. I want to have you. Do you understand how painful it is for me to love you, yet I can’t seem to win your heart? You only think that Kathleen was dismayed by this situation. What about me, then? Do you know what I have to endure in the past three years without you?”

Samuel remained silent.

Nicolette choked back her tears and muttered, “Do you know how much I’ve missed you? I can’t stop thinking about you. Sometimes, I think I’m losing my mind because of you. I want to return to your side. However, I can’t do anything about it. Whenever I wanted to return to the country, I would be stopped by your grandma’s people. If I didn’t get seriously ill this time, they wouldn’t have allowed me to come back.”

“That’s not an excuse for you to hurt her.” Samuel furrowed his brows in annoyance.

Nicolette sniffled. “I know I’ve made a mistake. However, can you blame me for wanting to be with you? Samuel, it’s clear that we’re in love with each other. Kathleen is the third wheel here.”

“It was my family who forced me to marry Kathleen. She had no say in this.” Samuel corrected her in a chilling tone. “Nicolette, I won’t expose you for what you did this time. However, you mustn’t do this again. Do you understand?”

Tugging at the hem of Samuel’s clothes, Nicolette implored, “I’m so sorry, Samuel. I know I’ve troubled you.”

Mixed feelings surged within Samuel as he saw her bursting into tears.

He looked up and stroked Nicolette’s head. “Stop crying.”

Sniffling loudly, Nicolette suggested, “Samuel, let’s get married. Even if I only have one day left to live, I still want to marry you. I want to die in your arms. Then, I will die without regrets.”

Samuel’s expression darkened. “Let’s focus on curing your illness first.”

Upon hearing his words, Nicolette bit her lip.

I’m sure he doesn’t want to divorce Kathleen now. What am I going to do? I’ll be left with nothing at this rate! It seems like I have to use my last resort.

The chaos seemed to have died down after two days.

Samuel returned home at noon.

Looking at him with surprise, Kathleen probed, “Why are you back?”

“Well, there are some problems with the business over in Frosa. I need to go there to resolve the matter,” Samuel explained monotonously.

Walking over to his side, Kathleen asked, “How long will you be gone?”

“A week,” Samuel answered.

A week? Hooray! That means I can finally enjoy some time alone!

Arching an eyebrow, Samuel teased, “You seem thrilled to see me leaving the country.”

“No.” Lowering the corners of her mouth forcefully, Kathleen said, “Look, I’m not smiling.”

Samuel’s face darkened at once. “You’d better stay at home throughout this week. You’re not allowed to go anywhere else.”

“We’ll see about that.” Kathleen pursed her lips at his warning.

“I’ll have someone watch over you.”

Kathleen pouted in disdain.

After Samuel had packed his luggage, Kathleen deliberately walked him to the door.

Seeing the oncoming elevator, Samuel instantly pulled Kathleen into his arms.

He cupped her chin with his huge hand, forcing her to look at him.
