Chapter 5 - All Too Late

Kathleen did not respond, but Wynnie was well aware because she knew her son very well.

Wynnie did not understand which part of Nicolette was attractive after seeing that the latter could not walk.

She did not discriminate against Nicolette’s background and upbringing but because her actions were undignified.

"Why don’t you go back to your room to rest? I’ll call Samuel and ask him to come back," said Wynnie calmly.

Kathleen pursed her lips and replied, "Okay."

After that, she turned to leave.Wynnie watched her leave and sighed.If only Kathleen isn’t so thoughtful.I’ll stand up for her if she cries.

Wynnie took out her phone and called Samuel, "I don’t care what you’re busy with now, but I want you to get your ass home this instance!"

She hung up after saying that, and Samuel frowned.

Wynnie was evidently angry, judging from her tone.

Could it be that Kathleen told Grandma? Samuel became upset, and his eyes darkened.

Nicolette was afraid when she saw that.

"Samuel, what happened?"

Nicolette bit her lips and asked, "Could it be that Kathleen didn’t want to get a divorce and told your Grandma?"

"I’m not sure."

Samuel grabbed his coat and said, "I’ll be leaving for a bit."

"Are you coming home tonight?" asked Nicolette while she tugged at the corners of his shirt.

"Yeah."

Samuel nodded.

Nicolette smiled and said, "I’ll wait for you.I’ll be waiting for you no matter how late it is."

She would definitely not let go of him again.

Samuel looked at her meaningfully and left.

Nicolette’s eyes turned cold right afterward.

Samuel returned to the Macari residence, and Wynnie blocked him at the entrance.

Samuel’s face darkened, and he said, "We are not even divorced yet, but you’re already rejecting me?"

She never rejected him usually, aside from the days she had her period or if she did not feel well.He knew when Kathleen’s period was, and it was not time yet.

Kathleen suddenly felt her body dip, surrounded by an intense embrace.

She immediately became wide-awake.

Kathleen watched Samuel, who was hugging her, and froze.

"Samuel Macari?" she asked in shock.

He was upset as she rarely called him by his full name.

She usually called him Sam and did not allow others to call him that, saying it was her exclusive nickname for him.

Kathleen quickly sat up, hugging her blanket, and looked at him nervously.

She knew Samuel loved to misbehave, but she could not allow that as she was pregnant.

Kathleen was willing to indulge him and was happy to do so, but the circumstances were different then.

Samuel did not like Kathleen avoiding him and icily said, "What did you tell my mom?"

Kathleen’s eyes showed how puzzled she was, and she replied, "I didn’t say anything to Wynnie."

"How did Mom find out that Nicolette is back if you didn’t say anything?" asked Samuel unhappily.

"Samuel, Nicolette is not invisible, and many people in Jadeborough know her.

You also let her move into Goodwill Hospital.

Don’t you know how many wealthy people in Jadeborough go there to see the doctors? Won’t they gossip if they saw Nicolette? It’s normal that news may travel into Wynnie’s ears!"

Kathleen was usually gentle, and she never got angry at Samuel.She kept trying to be a good wife, but she finally understood that Samuel would not like her no matter how good she was.

He even wanted her to save her love rival.

Samuel saw her defensive manner and frowned, saying, "I’m just asking."

"Aren’t you suspecting me? You felt that I complained to Grandma and Wynnie because I don’t want to get a divorce."

Kathleen felt wronged.She was not someone like that.

Ever since she married Samuel, she remained silent about the injustice she faced.

However, she was hurt that Samuel would misunderstand her that way.

Does he not have the slightest trust in me even if he doesn’t love me? What am I to him?
