All Too Late Chapter 382

Give Them Your Blessings

“Charles, can you not be so busybody?” Kathleen shot him a disdainful look.

“Am I?” Puzzlement was written all over Charles’ face.

“Yes.” Kathleen knittedher brows.

“Don’t do this again.Otherwise, I’ll never forgive you.” Her brother just smile.

“It’s not me who set you up this time.Ryder told me he wanted to meet you and promised he would help
me to convince his sister to take the role.I had no other choice.” She puffed out her cheeks, refusing to
say anything in reply.

“Once I leave Blissful Sect, Brilliance Corporation will be my only company.You don't want your brother
to go bankrupt, do you?” Charles asked pitifully.

“I’ll take care of you,” she declared in a solemn manner.

“I'm pretty loaded.”

“How could I let you take care of me? I’m a man!” He stroked her hair dotingly. Only then did Kathleen
finally crack a sweet smile.

“Can we go now?” she asked.

“Yeah.Let's go.” Charles nodded. When they were about to leave, Kathleen saw Tyson among the
crowd. Tyson also saw her and gave her a timid smile. Immediately, she felt goosebumps all over her.

“What's wrong?” Charles noticed something was amiss with her.



“N-Nothing.” She felt guilty all of a sudden. Just then, Tyson came over. Upon seeing him, Charles
seemed to have realized something, and his gaze darkened.

“Ms.Johnson, what a coincidence.”

An awkward grin spread across Tyson's face. Kathleen asked flatly, “Is something the matter?”

“No.I just came over to greet you.” Kathleen had an uncanny feeling that it was not that simple.

“When did you arrive?”

“I've been here for a while now.” Tyson did not dare to lie to her.

“Mr.Macari...” He trailed off.

“Is Samuel here too?” she questioned coldly. Tyson nodded in response. No wonder I felt a chill
running down my spine just now.

So Samuel has been watching me.

But we've talked through the things between us, so why should I be bothered by his opinion of me?

“Mr.Hackney, enjoy your time dancing here.We'll leave first.” Kathleen was ready to get out of here.

Tyson wanted to say something, but he held his tongue. With that, Kathleen pulled Charles with her as
she walked out of the place. Charles smiled meaningfully at Tyson and did not say a word. Meanwhile,
Tyson hurriedly dashed away in search of Samuel.

The latter was on the second floor. He saw the entire scene when Ryder and Kathleen were dancing
together, but he did not show himself. He merely stood behind a stoa on the second floor and watched
their every move. Tyson approached him and greeted, “Mr.Macari.” Samuel wore an indifferent
expression on his face.



“Did you ask her what was going on?”

“Ms.Johnson seemed to be quite hostile when she saw me.I didn't dare to ask her.” Samuel
deadpanned, “Do I seem very friendly to you?” Tyson froze for a split second before shaking his head
frantically.

“No.Not at all.” Samuel frowned, causing Tyson to break out in cold sweat. Samuel’s brow was deeply
furrowed.

Ryder and Kathleen were chatting happily just now.I have no right to stop their interaction.

Compared to Caleb, Ryder is much more dependable.

Ryder's personality is similar to Christopher's, but the former is more assertive.If it wasn't for Felix's
interference then, Christopher and Kathleen would have been together.

Unfortunately, there was no way Christopher could fight Felix.

But it's different for Ryder as he's the head of the Xenakis family. Samuel was deeply troubled.
“Mr.Macari, Mr.Johnson smiled at me just now,” Tyson hurriedly explained himself. Samuel snapped
back to his senses.

“Do you think he should cry to you?”

“What I'm trying to say is he seemed to be smiling wickedly.It was as if he was hinting at something.”
Samuel snorted frostily.

“I knew he’s not a good guy.” “Mr.Macari, if Mr.Johnson is not a good person, he wouldn't have given
Mr.Eil and Ms.Desi to you.” Tyson voiced his analysis.



“He could've given them to Caleb because it's much safer to say that they’re Caleb’s children.” Samuel
fixed his ice-cold gaze on Tyson, causing the latter to shudder in fear. Gosh, I shouldn't have said that
just now.

After a while, Samuel stated coldly, “If it wasn't for that matter, I would've beaten him a long time ago.”

Tyson chose to keep quiet.

“Ask around again and find out what Ryder and Kathleen were talking about,” Samuel ordered.

“Mr.Macari, there were only two of them just now, so nobody would overhear their conversation,” Tyson
replied hesitantly.

“I think you can directly ask Ms.Johnson.After all, both of you are friends now.Best friends will tell
everything to one other.” Samuel's expression turned even colder. Do we look like besties who will tell
everything to each other? Kathleen doesn’t even want to get close to me. Noticing Samuel's lack of
response, Tyson conceded fearfully, “Mr.Macari, I'll ask around.”

“There's no need for that.” Samuel turned around and left. Kathleen and Charles parted ways when
they reached the entrance of the venue. She had her clothes in her hand.

“Charles, you should go ahead with your work.There’s no need to worry about me.” Charles frowned.

“Where are you going?” “I need to choose a place to set up my company.” Kathleen gave him a faint
smile.

“I will check out some places in the afternoon, so you should attend to your matters.” “Will you be fine
on your own?” Charles was still worried about her.

“Yes.” She nodded.



“Bye.” She then turned away and left. Staring at her slim retreating figure, Charles was lost in his
thoughts. After a while, he spoke in a low voice to his driver.

“Let's go. “

Right at that moment, the car door was opened from the outside, and Samuel got into the car.
Immediately, it felt as though the temperature inside the car dropped a few degrees. Scowling, Charles
said to the driver, “You may leave the car for now.”

“Yes.” The driver got out of the car, leaving only Charles and Samuel in the car.

“What are you doing?” Charles looked at him with a half-smile. Samuel shot daggers at him.

“That’s what I’m supposed to ask you.Why did you let Ryder get in touch with Kate.”

“As her brother, can’t I consider or make decisions for my sister's love life?” Charles' smile did not
reach his eyes.

“Frankly, I think a gentleman like Christopher or Ryder is more suitable for my sister who is soft-
hearted.” Samuel froze.

“My sister loved you so much back then.For three years, she endured so much without a complaint or
regret during her marriage with you,” Charles continued, “but if it were Ryder or Christopher, they would
be warmed by her even if they had a heart of stone.They would not become the way you're today.”
Samuel's expression darkened.

“If Kate and Ryder can’t be together this time, I won’t stop her from being with you if she chooses you
in the future,” Charles added impassively.

“However, if she has a great start with Ryder, I hope you can accept them and give them your
blessings.Can you do that?” Samuel could not help but cough as he felt blood welling up in his throat.



He swallowed the blood, not wanting to let Charles notice his condition.

“You saw how they had a great chat during their first meeting just now,” Charles continued in a somber
tone of voice.

“Is this the reason why you asked me to come?” Samuel asked coldly. Charles gave him a side-
glance.

“Yes, I realize Kate is very scared of you.” Samuel remained silent. He had noticed that as well.

“I just want to let you figure it out yourself whether that is out of love or fear.” Charles retracted his
gaze.
