Perfect Marriage with My Substitute Wife

The corner of Calvin’s mouth twitched slightly as he turned around.

“I never thought you’d be begging me for help one day,” he said.

Samuel’s tone remained icy-cold. “Are you going to spit it out or not? Otherwise, let’s talk about how Mr. Heathrow sent his secretary to—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Calvin shot him a glare and cut him off, chastising, “Do you wish to cause chaos within the family?”

Samuel merely looked at him indifferently.

“Let me tell you this. Kate has been requesting us, time after time, not to treat you differently for her sake. Do you know what that means?” Calvin cast a glance at his son.

The calm and composed Samuel probed, “What does it mean?”

“You idiot!” Calvin slammed the table passionately. “It indicates that she still cares about you deep down inside! Hence, she couldn’t bear to see us give you the cold shoulder. If she genuinely hates you, why would she try to reconcile with you?”

Hearing that, Samuel furrowed his brows.

“The fact that she pitied you means that she’s not as cold as ice toward you. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s still space for you in her heart. If you’re smart enough, you’d know how to make use of this situation,” explained Calvin before adding in a stern tone, “If I have to be honest, I didn’t want to tell you this. If you won over Kathleen for real, I’d feel like I may have laid out a trap for her. Nevertheless, you are my son, and I have to help my son. Do not tell your mom or grandma about this. Otherwise, I’d be in hot water!”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

If I were to tell someone my dad’s behaving in this manner, I doubt they’d believe me. Then again, what he said does make sense. Kathleen does still harbor some feelings toward me.

Alas, his delusions would soon be shattered by Kathleen herself.

A few days later, Kathleen went to the studio for the recording of The Fantastic Restaurant.

There were a total of five participating celebrities in the show, including Katherine.

The other participants, apart from Katherine, were two male and two female celebrities, all of whom were extremely popular figures in the entertainment industry.

After all, the show was to be broadcasted on Young TV, and the main purpose was to spread positivity.

The other four celebrities were Steve, Kylie, Nancy, and John.

Steve Xander was a trending star in the entertainment industry. He had starred in several romance dramas, all of which gained significant popularity, thus solidifying his position in the entertainment industry.

Kylie Jakeson, on the other hand, was a beautiful and skillful actress. She recently collaborated with Steve on a drama that was well-received by the audience.

Many fans of the drama began shipping the two together, and that was why the production team decided to invite them both onto the show.

Nancy Walker was the eldest among the five celebrities, but she was only thirty-two years old. She was both elegant and sophisticated. Her recent show, The Ambitious Stars, had pushed her popularity to the peak.
