All Too Late

did not want to think too much about anything. Caleb understood her condition. Hence, he had no choice

but to follow Samuel out of the room. Upon stepping outside, he snorted at Samuel and strode off.

Meanwhile, Samuel lowered his gaze, wondering who Kathleen would choose.

Regardless, he would respect whatever decision she made. He did not have much time left, anyway. The

next day, Kathleen and the others arrived at Jadeborough. As to where Kathleen was going to

recuperate, Samuel, Charles, and Caleb each had different opinions on it, which got them into an

argument. Sitting in the wheelchair, Kathleen said coldly, “Why are you three debating so passionately

among yourselves? Have you forgotten I’m the one who makes the final call, not you three?” Instantly,

the three men fell quiet. “Mommy, I’ll follow you wherever you go.” Desi held Kathleen’s hand tightly,

unwilling to let go. “Kate—” Caleb was about to speak when Kathleen rejected him immediately.

“Mr. Lewis, I’m not going to the Lewis residence. Mr. Macari, please help me get a car. I have a house in

Jadeborough.” “Okay.” Samuel nodded. He would not attempt to change Kathleen’s decisions. It did not

matter where she lived. He was fine with it as long as she was in Jadeborough and somewhere within his

sight all the time. “Daddy, can I stay with Mommy?” Desi asked eagerly. With a gentle voice, Samuel

answered, “Mommy needs to rest for now. Once she’s better, you can stay with her as long as you want.

Okay?” “Okay.” Desi nodded resignedly. “It’s fine. Let Desi stay with me. I’ll find a housekeeper to take

care of our daily needs,” said Kathleen. “All right,” Samuel quickly agreed.

“Mommy, I’m sure Eil would like that, too,” Desi added softly. She had not forgotten to ask on Eil’s behalf.

Kathleen cast Samuel a glance. “Is that okay?” “Are you sure you can take care of two children?” Samuel

asked with concern. Kathleen nodded. “Yes. I’ll be fine soon when the medicine is here.” Naturally,

Samuel listened to her. “Okay.” “Sorry for troubling you,” Kathleen said lightly. “Get in the car, then. I’ll

bring you guys there.” After saying that, Samuel opened the car door. Since Kathleen was seated in the

wheelchair, he scooped her up and walked to the car. Seeing that, Desi covered her mouth and giggled.

Meanwhile, Charles gazed at Desi intently. He knew he could not get too involved in Kathleen and

Samuel’s matters. After all, they had children together. No doubt, the children were the priority in their

decision-making. That was something no one had control over. It was also Samuel’s advantage. “Kate,

I’d like to go over and have a look. I just want to check what your house is like and confirm the address,”

Charles piped up with a half-smile. Kathleen gave him a nod. Caleb was also about to say something,

but Samuel beat him to it and uttered coldly, “Mr. Lewis, isn’t your company swamped with work today? I

was reading the financial news this morning, and it seems that the company you were planning to

purchase is facing a major problem. Shouldn’t you hurry over to solve it?” “It must be your doing, right?”

Caleb placed the blame on Samuel without thinking twice. Samuel commented nonchalantly, “If it was

me, you’d be hearing news about the Lewis Enterprises going bankrupt.”

“You—” Caleb’s gaze darkened. Kathleen, who was still in Samuel’s arms, asked, “Mr. Macari, can you

please put me in the car first?” Hearing that, Samuel nodded obediently and placed her in the car. Desi

quickly crawled into the vehicle and sat beside Kathleen, hugging the latter tightly. It was evident how

much she liked Kathleen. Afterward, Samuel got into the car as well. Charles glanced at Caleb and

consoled, “Don’t be too reckless. He’s got an advantage.” In response, Caleb huffed. “You should hurry

and get back to the office. I heard Samuel really has nothing to do with it,” Charles advised grimly. “Got

it,” responded Caleb coldly. Charles flashed him a subtle smile before entering his own car. Forty minutes

later, they arrived in front of a mansion. Samuel got down from the car, took the wheelchair out of the

trunk, and placed it on the ground. Then, he opened the door to the backseat, carrying Kathleen out and

placing her in the wheelchair. “Mr. Macari, you don’t have to do all this for me. I can manage.” “It’s a

habit. It’s hard to change,” explained Samuel with his husky voice. Kathleen was rendered speechless.

“Let’s go in.” With that, Samuel wheeled her into the courtyard while Desi and Charles followed behind

them. Scanning the area, Charles remarked, “This mansion is not bad. When did you buy it, Kate?”

“Three years ago, I think? A rich businessman from Jadeborough wanted to buy my medicine, but he

had little cash on him. So, he used this house as a mortgage. In the end, I kept it because I found it quite

nice,” Kathleen answered. Samuel furrowed his brows.

“Will your master’s subordinates come looking for you here?” “Not for now. The organization is facing a

lot of problems at the moment. He’ll lose his grandson if he doesn’t solve them,” Kathleen said. Charles

frowned at her words. “Grandson? Who is this old man?”
