All Too Late

Returning 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.

The movie had obtained the film release permit, and its release date had been confirmed.

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.
