Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 301

Five days later, Kathleen finally wrapped up filming her scenes.

The film crew prepared a banquet to celebrate that day, and it was necessary for Kathleen to attend since she was the female lead.

She had overheard that Samuel would attend the banquet too.

Despite a moment of hesitance nipping at her mind, she decided it was best to go and even invited Caleb.

It was not long before Caleb arrived to pick her up.

His jaw fell agape as though mesmerized when she strolled out of the Yoeger residence.

Kathleen donned a velvet, deep emerald floor-length gown. Its thin straps highlighted her sculpted collarbones. Meanwhile, the high slit gave an occasional peek of her legs that went on for miles.

Her ethereal and goddess-like presence left Caleb in a gawking mess.

Eventually, his thin lips curled upward into a teasing grin. “Seeing you like this makes it impossible for me to ever get a divorce with you.” His words caught Kathleen by surprise as she chuckled. “We're not even married yet.”

“There's only two more days to go.” Caleb opened the car door for Kathleen.

Once she got in, he shut the door and circled the car to the driver's seat.

That was when Kathleen's delicate brows quirked with concern. “Have you resolved the issue with your logistics business?”

“Yeah, I have. The other party has agreed not to cause any more problems starting today. It's all thanks to you.” Caleb's tone was oozing with utter gratitude.

“There's no need to thank me. I helped out because I owed you.”

Caleb looked over at the jawdropping beauty next to him. He then spoke as if sounding her out. “Samuel will be there today.”

“He's the one who allowed me to star in the movie. It's only natural that he'll attend the movie's end-of-filming banquet. If he tries to beat you up, you can get behind me for safety.” There was a frosty nip in Kathleen's tone.

Caleb snorted before refuting, “You think I'm afraid of him? As if! He's unwell now, so what exactly can he do to me?”

His words made Kathleen purse her lips.

She had found out from Gemma that Samuel's body did not recover well. The doctors kept suggesting he rest more, but he refused to listen.

It even seemed like Samuel no longer consumed the medicines prescribed to him.

“Oh, right. I've caught the person who poisoned Samuel.” Caleb's voice deepened a few notches. “Would you like to meet him?”

“Yeah. I'd like to see him after the banquet,” came Kathleen's reply.

“No problem. I'll have Philip take him to my home, where they'll wait for our return.”

Kathleen nodded in response.

Soon, the two arrived at the hotel where the banquet took place.

It was not in Kathleen's intention to stay for long.

She only planned to show up briefly, greeting the film crew and actors before making her exit.

However, everyone was enthusiastic and eager to chat with her, which delayed her plan.

When she finally got ready to leave, she bumped into Samuel.

He had arrived late.

All eyes were on him as he had lost a significant amount of weight after these few days.

His once charming and elegant face seemed gloomier. Even his chiseled features were more defined from the weight loss.

The suit on his body did not help. Rather, it only emphasized how thin his waist had gotten.

When he noticed Kathleen, a frosty gleam flashed across his eyes.

Meanwhile, Kathleen was busy thinking if she should greet him since they were face to face.

However, before she could, Samuel walked right past her side.

A relieved sigh slipped out of her lips. Yet, her chest inexplicably tightened at that moment.

“Wait up, Kathleen,” Spencer suddenly called out to her. “Since Mr. Macari is here, why don't we take a group photo?”

The sudden request flustered Kathleen.

And here I thought I could avoid facing Samuel... I guess it's inevitable.

With that thought in mind, she turned around and nodded.

The entire group soon arranged themselves in position. At first, Kathleen stood with Spencer and Timothy.

However, for some reason, Spencer suddenly ran to the other side of the group, leaving Samuel by her side.

That left her speechless.

It was also then that someone accidentally nudged Timothy.

He lost his footing and tipped over, crashing into Kathleen.

The domino effect did not stop there as Kathleen soon stumbled toward Samuel's back.

Fortunately, his slender fingers latched around her waist in time. His gravelly voice rang out, “Be careful.” Only after Kathleen steadied herself did she reply, “Thank you.”

The two's interaction got cut short when Samuel removed his hand from her emotionlessly.
