All Too Late

Chapter 37

“Don’t worry. I’ve always been a man of my word,” Samuel assured before casually biting her ear again. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have the room to speak right now.”

“I’m hungry. I’m going to go make some pasta.” Kathleen diverted the topic and escaped right away.

Samuel revealed a frosty smile.

What a coward. I don’t know what she’s so scared of.

Out of nowhere, she turned back around. “Have you eaten yet?”

“Yes.” He nodded.

She flashed a smile that reached her eyes. “Okay.”

Following that, she turned and went to cook some food.

In the meantime, Samuel blow-dried his hair and put on some clothes.

At that moment, his phone rang.

It was a call from Nicolette.

He picked up and asked, “What is it?”

“When are you coming, Samuel?” Nicolette whined pathetically. “I have to undergo chemotherapy tomorrow. I’m scared.”

“I’m busy today…” Samuel had only just begun to answer when Kathleen walked over.

“The pasta’s done, Sam!” she announced.

Her voice left Nicolette stunned.

Is that Kathleen’s voice? Is he with her right now? What’s going on here? I’m sure she’s heard the recording. How could she be with him?

“All right,” Samuel responded with a nod. “I’ll come over right now.”

Kathleen, who didn’t know that he was on a call with Nicolette, grinned. “Don’t worry about it. Finish up whatever you’re doing while I go and make a few side dishes.”

Having said that, she stepped back out.

“Nicolette,” he murmured with his voice lowered.

“It’s okay, Samuel. I know you’re tired, so it’s fine if you don’t come and see me today,” Nicolette reassured and tried to seem understanding. “You should eat a bit more. Eat enough for the both of us.”

“Haven’t you eaten yet?” Samuel inquired indifferently.

“No. I don’t have much of an appetite,” she admitted and bit her lip. “I heard Kathleen say that she made some pasta for you two. I’d love to have some, too. The food they serve here isn’t appetizing at all.”

Actually, she had only said that so that Samuel would bring her the food that Kathleen had made.
