All Too Late
Chapter 18
Kathleen had not expected the usually gentle and soft-spoken Christopher to get angry.
“Chris, it was only a suggestion. He can’t do anything if I don’t agree to it,” Kathleen said awkwardly.
“You’re too easygoing,” Christopher said as he eyed her worriedly.
“Don’t say that. I actually have quite a temper too.” Kathleen’s eyes were like beautiful dark orbs.
Christopher felt incredibly bad for her. “It’s because he forced you to it.”
Kathleen glanced at Christopher.
He really is too nice!
“Chris, you’re such a nice person. Why aren’t you married yet?” Kathleen asked curiously. “You’re a gentleman who’s very good at comforting people.”
Christopher glanced at her with an unfathomable expression. “Well, it’s because there’s no one I like.”
“I remember the incident from last year. Grandma said she wanted to introduce a girl to you, but you said you already had someone you liked.” Kathleen suddenly recalled.
“Yes, but she’s married,” Christopher replied cagily.
The person was married?
“Oh, Chris. I’m so sorry for prying. I won’t ask anymore.” Kathleen felt extremely apologetic.
“It’s okay,” Christopher replied warmly. “If you’re done packing up, let’s head downstairs.”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
Christopher stared at Kathleen. The latter was like an adorable bunny. He really wanted to stroke her head and tell her not to be afraid.
However, he had to resist the urge.
If Kathleen really divorced Samuel, Christopher vowed to stay by her side no matter how painful the road ahead was going to be.
Without her asking, Christopher automatically helped Kathleen carry her bag.
Kathleen felt embarrassed. She said sweetly, “Oh, there’s no need. I can do it myself.”
“It’s fine.” Christopher was exceptionally gentle.
He was going to take good care of her from this day onward.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
Then, they stepped into elevator.
They were on their way to the ICU to visit Benjamin.
