Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 7

Kathleen was shocked.

She turned around and saw Christopher.

“Oh, Christopher, it's you.”

Christopher smiled. “Did something happen between you and Samuel?”

“Why do you think so?” Kathleen blinked innocently.

She had tender features with a pair of eyes that sparkled.

“The Yoegers told me Nicolette's back.” Christopher was very straightforward.

The smile on Kathleen's face slowly faded. “So everyone knows about it already.”

Everyone in the Yoeger family knew that Kathleen was married to Samuel.

Though Rose Yoeger, the legitimate daughter of the Yoeger family, did not like Nicolette, she liked Samuel.

She had turned up at Samuel and

Kathleen's wedding and insulted Kathleen, saying the latter was overestimating herself for thinking she could turn her life around by being a replacement.

Back then, Kathleen had indeed overestimated herself.

She had thought that she could turn her unlucky life around.

However, life is not something a person can control.

When Christopher saw Kathleen's dejected look, his heart ached.

He raised his arm, wanting to pat her head. In the end, he only placed it on Snowy.

“Kate, you can come to me if you need any help.” His voice was gentle. “I'll do whatever I can to help you, just like old times.”

Kathleen tilted her head, frowning. “Christopher, what are you talking about?”

She did not understand what he was saying.

Christopher stared at her, hesitant with his words. “Kathleen, ten years ago—”

“Christopher, you’re still here?” Right then, Wynnie appeared. “I've got some big crabs here. Bring them home to your mom. I'm sure she'll like them.”

“Okay, Aunt Wynnie.” Christopher nodded, reaching out to take the box of crabs from Wynnie.

“Drive safely,” Wynnie reminded.

Christopher nodded again. “Don't worry, Aunt Wynnie. You should head inside.”

“Okay.” Wynnie glanced at Kathleen and turned around to enter the house.

Once Wynnie entered the house, Kathleen asked softly, “Christopher, what did you just say? What happened ten years ago? Did we know each other back then?”

Christopher's gaze was gentle. “I'll tell you later.”

I'll tell her when she divorces Samuel. It should be the right time by then.

“I'll get going now,” Christopher said.

Kathleen furrowed her brows, finding

Christopher rather odd.

“What were you two talking about?” Samuel stepped out from a dark corner.

By that time, Christopher had already disappeared from their view.

“Nothing much.” Kathleen shook her head.

“But I noticed you two talking for quite some time,” Samuel said icily.

He had seen everything from the second floor.

“We were just exchanging some tips about rearing dogs.”

“Tips about rearing dogs?” Samuel scoffed.

“As far as I know, you're not the one rearing Snowy.”

“That's right. My dog's called Sammy,” Kathleen jeered.

Instantly, Samuel knew she was being sarcastic. “Kathleen!”

“Did I say something wrong, you son of a b*tch?” Kathleen became bolder when she was at the Macari residence.

“Looks like you've got a death wish.” Samuel tugged at his tie.

Kathleen mustered her courage and said, “Don't you dare touch me. Otherwise, I'll show Nicolette all my scars of abuse you created.”

“Don't you dare!” Samuel's handsome face darkened.

“I'll do it if you bully me!” Kathleen decided to go all out.

Why should I shut up when I'm being bullied?
