Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 429

Kathleen was surprised as the Richard she knew did not seem to be such a person.

"He may have reasons for doing so," she comforted.

"It's been one year since he proposed to me." Gemma felt helpless. "Forget it. I feel upset whenever I bring him up.

I'm going back to work."

Kathleen walked along with her. "Perhaps, you can ask him."

"I'm scared the outcome will be bad if I do." Gemma lowered her head. "Kate, I'm terrified we'll break up because of this."

Kathleen took hold of Gemma's hand and consoled, "Don't overthink this. Richard has always been reliable, so I guess he has his reasons. Why don't you give him a little more time?"

"All right." The latter nodded, though a little confused.

"How long should I give him, though?

"This depends on you," Kathleen explained. "After all, everyone's tolerance and endurance toward this matter are different."

"Kate, what if it were you?" Gemma asked out of curiosity.

"I..." Kathleen paused for a moment before continuing, "If I encountered something like this, I suppose I would be in the same state as you."

Gemma looked toward the woman. "Didn't you and Samuel reconcile already? Why do I feel like something happened between you two?"

"Well, not exactly." Kathleen flashed a half-smile. "However, everyone has troubles that can't be shared even with their loved ones. Thus, we need to give them time to decide if they want to tell us."

"Kate, you seem to have returned to your past self," Gemma remarked while staring at Kathleen.

My past self?

"How was I like before?" the latter asked bitterly.

"You would endure many things in the name of love. It's exactly how you are right now."

"I would feel frustrated when I endured something back then. However, it's different now as my tolerance is due to maturity," Kathleen elucidated. "People change, after all."

After all, she was not the type to immediately tell Samuel if she had a secret either.

Gemma nodded. "True. Everyone changes."

Kathleen smiled.

"We don't have anything going on at night, so why don't we go out and have a drink?"

Yet, Kathleen shook her head. "I've already been drinking for two nights straight. I feel like my head is going to explode."

Gemma smiled faintly. "Are you trying to drown your sorrows with alcohol?"

"That's not it."

"All right, then," Gemma replied with a sigh.

After hesitating, Kathleen added, "I can accompany you if you really want to go."

"Really?" Gemma's expression brightened up immediately.

"Mm." Kathleen nodded. "I can deal with a headache. Your mood is more important."

"Thank you," Gemma chirped. "I'll come and meet you once you're off work."

"All right.” Kathleen nodded.

When Samuel got off work, he received a call from Kathleen right after he exited his office.

"I just got off work and am going to pick you up," he said

gently.

"There's no need," Kathleen murmured. "I'm having dinner with Gemma tonight. I'll take a taxi back after we're done."

"Where are you going for dinner?" Samuel asked in a deep voice. "I can go and fetch you."

"No need." Kathleen felt embarrassed. After all, there was no way she could tell the man she was going out to drink.

"You can head home first."

Then, she quickly hung up the call.

Samuel was rendered speechless.

Tyson noticed the man's change of expression and asked,

"Mr. Macari, what happened?"

"She must be mad." Samuel's voice was hoarse.

Mad?
