Fell In Love With You In The Wrong Time

chapter 27

Do you mean it?” Kathleen did not expect Diana to agree.

Staring at Kathleen’s delicate and soft face, Diana replied, ”Yes, I do.”

Why is she so happy when she mentions getting divorced from Samuel? She used to like him so much. What happened to her feelings? That brat! What exactly has he done to make Kathleen so disappointed?

Holding Kathleen’s hand, Diana said reluctantly, “You’ll always be my Katie even after you’re divorced from Samuel. Don’t be a stranger.”

When Diana took Kathleen to the Macari residence, the latter was only twelve years old.

Diana’s son and her daughter-in-law had been very busy all these years.

Samuel had already started taking over some company works at a young age.

As a result, they were so busy that none of them had time to accompany her.

Over the years, Diana only had Kathleen by her side. Therefore, she did not feel that lonely.

She watched Kathleen grow up from a little girl to a young woman.

From Diana’s perspective, Kathleen was a kind, gentle, adorable, and good-tempered person. Furthermore, Kathleen had a courteous demeanor.

On the other hand, Samuel was the opposite with his foul temper. Diana thought only Kathleen could make him happy.

She felt that such a cheerful and lovely young woman like Kathleen would be a good match for her grandson. She wanted them to get married when the time came.

Even though the two were not involved in a romantic relationship, Diana was hoping that they would develop feelings toward each other down the road.

Alas, Diana never thought that she would get blindsided by her grandson.

I can’t believe Samuel likes Nicolette, the daughter of that shameless vixen.

Diana was not an unreasonable person.

After all, the children born to a mistress had no way to change their past.

However, Nicolette’s mother, Elena, was simply too lazy.

At that time, Elena relied on her beauty to hook up with many wealthy sons of the prestigious family in Jadeborough.

Diana was infuriated by her promiscuous life.

Luckily for Diana, her son resisted Elena’s seduction. Therefore, she did not lose sleep over this matter.

However, some of Diana’s old friends were not so lucky.

Elena had either seduced their sons or ruined their daughter’s marriage.

It was only after she gave birth to Nicolette that everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.

Diana found out that Elena was determined to marry into the Yoeger family.

However, Frances Schott, Nicolette’s grandmother, was a fierce woman. She threatened to end her life if Elena was allowed to join their family.

In the end, Frances got her wish granted.

Elena continued her debauched lifestyle for a few more years before passing away due to a serious illness. Jadeborough was finally at peace.

However, before Elena died, she sent Nicolette to the Yoeger family.

Veronica Burke, the wife of Zachary Yoeger, could not tolerate Nicolette. Nevertheless, she came from a prestigious family. Hence, she never treated her husband’s illegitimate daughter harshly.

To everyone’s surprise, Nicolette inherited Elena’s scheming personality. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The former embarrassed Veronica during a banquet many years ago.

After suffering in silence, Veronica decided not to play nice anymore. Her attitude toward Nicolette changed overnight.

Since you’ve already given me a bad name, why do I care anymore?

Nicolette’s father, Zachary, tried to interfere on a few occasions.

Nonetheless, Veronica paid him no heed and continued to do as she pleased.

She had lost faith in her husband for a long time.

Still, Veronica knew that they would not get divorced that easily. Her family had a strong collaboration with the Yoegers. Hence, she could not terminate her marriage with Zachary.

Veronica did not intend to live a miserable life anymore. She vowed to enjoy herself if Zachary dared to go out and fool around again.

Most importantly, Frances decided to turn a blind eye to this.

From that day onward, Zachary did not dare to fool around with other women anymore.

Even though Nicolette was not as vicious as Elena, she was also a person who would not stop until she achieved her goals.

Nicolette knew that the Macari family was the leader among the four prominent families in Jadeborough.

That was the reason why she clung to Samuel for her dear life. She wanted to ride on his family’s coattails.

Still, Diana would never let Nicolette succeed.

Even if Kathleen and Samuel are divorced, I’ll never allow Nicolette to join our family.

“Grandma, I’ll always be there for you for the rest of my life.” Kathleen pouted while putting her arm around Diana’s neck.

Diana beamed with joy upon hearing her promise.

At that moment, Maria walked over and announced, “Old Mrs. Macari, Mr. Macari is back.”

“Let him in,” Diana ordered coldly.

“Right away.” Maria immediately turned around to call for Samuel.

“Grandma, I’ll leave first. It’s better for you guys to have a conversation without my presence,” Kathleen suggested.

“All right.” Diana nodded in agreement.

With that, Kathleen got up and left. She met Samuel outside.

Seeing Samuel’s haggard and weary face, Kathleen recalled the voice recording she heard last night.

It made her feel disgusted.

She could not help but look at Samuel with a hint of contempt.

Without sparing Samuel another look, Kathleen walked off in huge strides.

Meanwhile, he entered Diana’s house with a gloomy expression.

“Grandma, are you looking for me?” Samuel asked in an icy tone.

Looking at him nonchalantly, Diana said, “Samuel, do you think that I’ll die soon because of my old age. Is that why you’re trying hard to fool me?”

“Grandma, what are you talking about?” Samuel frowned in confusion.

“You didn’t even dare to inform me that Nicolette has returned, right?” Diana retorted in a low voice.

Samuel furrowed his brows. “Grandma, who told you about this?”

Diana snorted loudly. “Ha! You must be thinking that it was Katie who snitched on you, right?”

Samuel remained silent.

“Don’t you dare pin everything on Katie! Do you honestly think that I’m oblivious to everything that’s happening around me since I can’t leave the house or get out of bed?” Diana fumed.

“No, I didn’t.” Samuel frowned.

“Listen carefully. I have my sources outside. I know exactly what you did with Nicolette,” Diana warned in a chilling tone.

Looking at her, Samuel clarified, “Grandma, I didn’t do anything with Nicolette. We’re innocent.”

Samuel was not lying at that moment.

The only woman he had touched until now was Kathleen.

“I don’t want to hear about this. Let me ask you a question. Do you want to marry Nicolette?” Diana probed sternly.

Samuel replied decisively, “Yes, I do.”

“You should know very well that I will never agree on that. Besides, I know what you are planning. You wanted to wait until I die so that no one will prevent you from marrying that woman, am I right?”

Once again, Samuel did not reply her.

“Great! You’re getting more rebellious by the days!” Diana could not help laughing mockingly at herself. “Let me warn you first. As long as I live, I will never allow her to marry into our family. Do you know how Old Mrs. Yoeger prevented Nicolette’s mother from joining their family?”

Samuel naturally remembered it.

“Samuel, Katie is a very nice woman. It’s you who don’t know how to cherish her. I can only say that you’re not worthy of a woman like her. She deserves someone gentle and loyal. That man is definitely not you,” Diana said dejectedly.

Samuel was displeased by his grandmother’s frank remark.

“Okay, then. I agree to your divorce with Kathleen,” Diana uttered impassively.

Samuel grimaced with shock. “Grandma, what did you just say?”

“You heard me right. I allow you to divorce Kathleen.” Diana raised her voice as she became more annoyed. “What? You must be on cloud nine, right?”
