All Too Late

Then, they started to familiarize themselves with the environment. Truthfully, before coming here,

Samuel had already informed them beforehand, so they knew the rules. It was a bright and sunny day.

Kathleen took the children to play on the field of grass. She and Gemma sat under the parasol, having

coffee. “Are you and Richard going to get married?” Kathleen asked out of the blue, curious. Gemma

blinked, with a shy look on her face. “Maybe.” “You don’t seem to be very sure,” Kathleen commented,

astonished. Letting out a sigh, Gemma responded, “It’s my brother. He doesn’t like Richard. You know

he’s a policeman, so he’s always suspicious, and Richard has a lot of really complicated things.” “How

complicated?” Kathleen was curious. “It’s that he…” Gemma trailed off. “Actually, I don’t know how to put

it into words, but I think he’s fine.” “You can think of it this way. If he really has a problem, your brother

would have already caught solid evidence by now,” Kathleen explained. Gemma said helplessly, “I think

so, too. I know my brother is worried, but…” Taking Gemma’s hand into hers, Kathleen plastered a soft

smile. “You don’t have to worry too much, because your brother loves you very much. If you really want

to marry Richard, he will never stop you. If Richard really wants to spend his life with you, he will have to

face the pressure from your brother. Who knows, maybe they’ve already come to terms with each other.”

“Would that actually happen?”\

Gemma was curious. Kathleen nodded and smiled gently. “If you don’t believe me, you can call and ask.”

“No need. I believe you.” Gemma smiled, making Kathleen chuckle. She then looked at the two children,

tenderness painted on her delicate face. Later that evening, Gemma was going to work the night shift, so

she left first. Richard came to pick her up. As they left, the two conversed and laughed, looking like a

sweet couple. Just then, when Kathleen was ready to go back, Samuel arrived in his car. Why is he here

again? “Daddy!” Desi rushed out of the mansion immediately. Getting out of the car, Samuel squatted

down and hugged her. Looking at the father and daughter duo, Kathleen breathed out a sigh. It seems

like Desi is extremely fond of Samuel. Well, it’s no wonder, though, considering he raised her since she

was a baby. In contrast to his sister, Eil seemed reserved. “Hello, Daddy,” he called. Despite that, he was

looking at Samuel with deep admiration. “Yeah.” Samuel nodded. Letting go of Desi, he got to his feet.

“I’ll leave after seeing them,” he uttered, looking at Kathleen. “They had always been with me, so I’d feel

a bit empty if I don’t see them at home.” Kathleen nodded. “Oh, well, you’ve seen them already.”

“Yeah, I’ll go back right now.” Samuel’s gaze stayed on her face. Had it been the Kathleen who still had

her memory, he would be invited in, but he knew, as of now, she would not. “I’ll be heading inside, then,”

Kathleen turned around. Samuel stared at her back, and his heart ached. He knew that the former

Kathleen loved him, even if she was hurt by him before. The Kathleen now had no feelings for him at all.

Samuel would have panicked in the past, and he would have desperately made sure Kathleen still had

him in her heart. However, right now, all he had in his heart was pain, as he no longer need to make sure

because Kathleen did not love him anymore. Even if he acted pitifully and played some tricks, Kathleen

would not be soft-hearted. Samuel stood outside for a while longer. Afraid that Kathleen would find him

burdensome, he left. Pondering for a moment, he decided to go to a bar.

The man was born with a strong aura. That was why he would be noticed wherever he went. Once he

stepped foot into the bar, many people already had their eyes on him. Some women were bold enough to

approach him to strike a conversation. However, a few servers stopped them. “I advise you not to go

near him. You all know who that man is. If you really dare approach him, you’ll be chased out of

Jadeborough and never return.” Those women were some influencers and celebrities. If they were really

kicked out of Jadeborough, they would be laughed at. Even so, there were also some courageous ones.

A woman walked over with a charming smile on her face. “Hello, Mr. Macari, I’m Lillian. Have you seen

any of my work?” Samuel ignored her. He was drinking brandy, but he did not dare to drink much. It was

because he knew that he had poor health, but he still wanted to numb himself with alcohol. Hearing the

woman’s voice, he felt annoyed. As he did not reply, Lilian continued, “My new film is being broadcast

right now. Although I’m the fourth female lead, it happens to have my part today. If you’re interested, how

about we find a hotel and watch it together?”

Samuel held the wineglass and put it in front of her. Lillian was stunned for a moment, and then she said

excitedly, “Mr. Macari, are you asking me to drink it? I really—” “Eat the glass,” Samuel interrupted coldly.

“I’ll go with you once you manage to do it.” Hearing that, Lillian froze. “How can I eat glass?” Samuel’s

eyes were icy cold. “Exactly, yet you still think that you’re worthy of me? You’ve overestimated yourself.”

Lillian was stunned. At that moment, Tyson walked in from outside. “Mr. Macari, I have some news for

you.” Looking at him, Samuel ordered, “Get this woman out of Jadeborough.”
