All Too Late Chapter 433

Chapter 433 Will You Marry Me Again

Kathleen wanted to keep a low profile, but Samuel had apparently escalated things.

He got out the ring he had long prepared and showed it to her.

“Kate, are you willing to trust me one more time and marry me again?” Samuel asked sincerely.

Kathleen lowered her eyes, staring back at him as her cheeks flushed red.

“I do.” She nodded.

Samuel instantly froze.

He didn’t expect Kathleen would agree to his proposal so readily.

As she continued to gaze at him with her red cheeks, her eyes glimmered in delight.

Samuel stood up, held her hand, and slipped a ring on her finger in a heartbeat.

He then took one step forward and ran his hand through her hair to cradle the back of her head, while he wrapped the other hand around her waist.

Next, he slowly lowered his head, allowing his lips to touch her cherry-red ones.

The surrounding crowd erupted into applause and cheers.

Kathleen heard none of that.

Her mind was a total blank.

She could only hear the sound of her heart thumping loudly and rapidly.

Her hand with the ring clutched tightly onto Samuel’s top.

She wasn’t sure if she did it right this time, but she was certain that she was willing to trust him.

The road ahead was a long one. She was bound to take some risks and surrender to her impulses.

A long while later, Samuel released her.

As he gazed at the woman, who could hardly breathe, he smiled. “Looks like I have a lot to teach you.”

Kathleen’s cheeks flushed even redder. “Let’s get going!” she huffed.

Samuel took hold of her slender hand and led her out of the building.

Someone posted the entire video of their proposal on the internet and Instagram.

Very quickly, they became the top trending topic.

In a hotel, Ashley snickered as she stared at the phone in her hand.

Her laughter was dripping with sarcasm.

She didn’t think they would take action so quickly.

Samuel had proposed just like that.

She thought they would keep dragging for some time.

Somehow, she had a feeling that if she had shown up a bit later, they might not have fretted so quickly.

Ashley picked up the knife next to her and plunged it into an apple.

“So what if he’d proposed? Kathleen, I will separate you two! Just you wait!” A wicked glint flashed across her eyes.

Back at Florinia Manor, Kathleen was sitting on the bed.

Her phone had been buzzing non-stop.

So many people were sending her congratulatory messages.

She didn’t know which one she should respond first.

Samuel noticed her dilemma and grabbed her phone. “Don’t mind them. Put it off till tomorrow.”

Kathleen stared back at him. “Mr. Macari, this is the first ring you gave me. Tell me, was it Tyson who bought it?”

When they got married the first time, Samuel hadn’t taken it seriously.

“Nope.” He sat down next to her. “I chose it myself. Do you like it?”

Kathleen lifted her hand. She finally remembered that she should take her time to admire the ring.

It was certainly a beautiful one, especially the large diamond studded on it.

Kathleen thought she wouldn’t like shiny jewelry, but the moment she saw the ring, her heart fluttered.

No woman could escape it.

Samuel knew she liked the ring, but he wasn’t quite satisfied with her expression.

He wrapped her in an embrace and said uncertainly, “If you don’t like it, I can exchange it for a different one.”

Kathleen chuckled. “Do you expect me to be as excited as a little girl? Samuel, I’m a mature adult. I’ve seen my fair share of diamonds. I bought some too. So, you shouldn’t expect me to get emotional.”

Samuel said nothing, looking rather dejected.

Kathleen lifted his face and smiled. “Samuel, you’re not the violent and sinister man you used to be, and I’m not an innocent little girl anymore. We’ve changed. The way we handle matters and the way we express emotions differ now. I like the ring. I’m very impressed.”

A hint of warmth appeared on Samuel’s handsome face.

Even if Kathleen didn’t like it, there was nothing he could do.

In the past, he tended to give her a hard time too.

Back then, she didn’t say anything.

“Are you hungry? Let’s get something to eat,” Kathleen asked in a gentle tone.

“Sure.” Samuel led her downstairs to get some food.

They had Kathleen’s favorite dishes for dinner.

While they were halfway through the meal, Kathleen’s phone rang.

It was Gemma.

“Hello.” Kathleen took the call.

“Kate…” Gemma was sobbing on the other end.

Kathleen frowned. “Gemma, what’s up? Where are you?”

“I’m at the hospital,” Gemma said in between sobs. “I…”

“I’m coming!” Kathleen stood up, put her phone down, and turned to Samuel. “Something’s happened to Gemma. I’m going to the hospital.”

“Sure.” Samuel nodded. “Let me take you there. Maybe I can help.”

“All right.”

At the hospital, Kathleen found Gemma in her office.

The latter was crouching on the floor, her face buried between her knees in utter misery.

Kathleen crouched down as well. “Gem, what happened?”

Gemma continued to sob.

“Did Richard hurt you?” Kathleen questioned worriedly.

Gemma cried even harder, so much so that she couldn’t speak clearly.

Kathleen frowned upon seeing that.

From the look of things, she supposed she would have to wait for Samuel’s update.

Meanwhile, Samuel arrived at Richard’s office.

Richard was lying on his back on the chair. His tie had been ripped off, and his white coat was unbuttoned.

“What happened?” Samuel demanded icily.

What have these two gotten into this time?

“Miley had gone to look for her,” Richard said, his voice hoarse. “I’d made my intentions very clear to her, but Miley was adamant to jump.”

“She jumped?” Samuel questioned in a frigid voice.

Richard nodded. “We were on the third floor then. She leaped out of the window. Gemma couldn’t stop her in time.”

“Is she still alive?” Samuel asked.

“She’s in the emergency room.”

“What’s next? What are you going to do?” Samuel asked. “Break up with Gemma?”

“I…” Richard’s expression sank. “If anything happens to Miley, it’s not possible for me to stay with Gemma, Samuel.”

Gemma and Richard could never put this behind them.

“I’ve told you before. This woman is nothing but trouble,” Samuel stated.

“But she’s my professor’s daughter. I can’t ignore her.” Richard felt a headache coming. “How’s Gemma?”

“Kate’s staying with her,” Samuel answered.

“I really envy you,” Richard blurted. “You two have been through so many hardships, and now you two are back together again.”

“As long as you don’t give up, you can,” Samuel said. “If Miley’s safe and sound, what’s your plan?”

Richard stayed silent.

“Don’t think that I’m forcing you,” Samuel muttered coolly. “You have to figure out a way to resolve this. If you think about it only when something bad has happened, you’ll miss out on a lot of things.”

Right then, Samuel’s phone rang in his pocket.

Kathleen had sent him a message: I’m taking Gemma home. I’m not coming back tonight. She’s not in the right state of mind. I’m worried about her.

Samuel glanced at it and responded: Sure. I’ll get a few people to stand guard. Look for them if you need anything. It’s late. Don’t leave the house alone.

Kathleen typed back: All right.

Samuel slipped the phone back into his pocket and said, “Come on. Let’s go to the operating room.”
