NovelAppReturning to her room, Kathleen took out her phone and called Christopher.
“Chris, are you an idiot? Why did you agree to Charles?” Kathleen was vexed.
“Don’t scold him. I chose to do it,” Christopher replied in a gentle voice.
Kathleen sighed. “Thank you, Chris. But you really don’t have to sacrifice so much for me. I can never repay you for what you did
for me.”
“Haven’t you considered repaying me with yourself?” asked Christopher with a half-smile.
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
Christopher gave dry laugh. “I’ll stop messing with you. Will you come to the banquet with me tonight? I’ve told the others. It’ll be
embarrassing for me if you don’t come.”
“Okay.” Kathleen had no choice but to agree.
“I’ll pick you up tonight.” Christopher smiled.
“All right.” Kathleen hung up the phone.
Sitting on the bed, she knitted her brows slightly.
She wanted to keep a low profile initially, but she had never thought that the movie would make her popular and actually earn her
the Best Actress Award at the Academy Award.
However, to be able to attend the Academy Award this time around, the director decided to submit the movie for nomination
earlier.
In fact, they did not hold out much hope, but to their surprise, Kathleen became the dark horse and the Academy Award for Best
Actress.
It was hence impossible for Kathleen to keep a low profile.
Knock. Knock.
There was a knock at the door.
“Come in,” Kathleen said.
Charles went in. Looking at Kathleen, he asked ingratiatingly, “Still mad?”
Kathleen snorted coldly.
“I was wrong. Tell me what you want. I’ll say yes no matter what,” Charles apologized.
Kathleen gave him a sidelong glance. “Don’t do this anymore. I don’t want to trouble Chris. I also don’t want to marry myself off
in such a rushed manner. Do you get it?”
“Yes, I do.” Charles nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t do such a thing anymore.”
Kathleen let out a sigh. “I know. You keep saying that I’m useless. You’re afraid that I’ll go soft on Samuel once I come back and
see him.”
Charles nodded vigorously.
Charles cleared his throat. “Kate, you’ve liked Samuel for ten years. Although you said that you’ve moved on, I’m always worried
that you’ll go soft on him.”
Kathleen was too soft-hearted and kind.
He was worried that she would be bullied again.
“Charles, you worry for nothing. I won’t go soft on him. It won’t bring my kids back to life,” Kathleen replied calmly.
It was her biggest regret.
It always would be.
“Even if Samuel kneels before me, I won’t forgive him.” Her soft voice was indifferent and laced with a tinge of coldness.
She still could not be at ease around Samuel, but she was fine with it as she had really gotten over him.
Yet, it did not mean that she needed to get into a relationship with Christopher.
She did not want to think about romantic relationships for the time being.
“That’s great. I’m glad you have pride!” Charles gave her a thumbs up. “That’s my good sister.”
Kathleen sighed. “Quit clowning around. I need a dress for the banquet tonight with Christopher.”
“Don’t worry. It’s already prepared.” Charles smiled at her. “Your assistant will send it over in a while.”
“Have you found an assistant for me?” asked Kathleen.
“Yes. She’s a fresh graduate named Valerie Taylor.” Charles had a smile on his face.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded in acknowledgement.
After a while, a girl arrived, just as Charles had said.
Dressed in a white down jacket and a pair of jeans, she had her hair pulled up in a ponytail, looking youthful and energetic.
