Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 124

Christopher's gaze upon Kathleen was disquietingly intense.

Her heart pounded as she heard his words.

Despite being married, Kathleen had never been in a real relationship.

She was always the one running after Samuel, who treated her in much the same way as he always did.

Now that there's a man who'd confessed his feelings in such a bold and romantic manner, how am I not feeling a thing?

Kathleen struggled to understand her inner turmoil.

Christopher was gentle about it. “I'm not forcing you into anything, Kathleen. I just needed to tell you what's in my heart. I won't be upset no matter what you choose in the end.”

Kathleen returned Christopher's gaze. “You make me look like such a horrible person.”

Christopher grinned crookedly. “No, you don't. Though you did reject me and have never been intimate with me, at least you've never toyed with my feelings. Do what you need to do to heal at your own pace, Kathleen. I'll always be here waiting for you.”

“I'm not as perfect as you make me out to be,” Kathleen sighed. “I was married.”

Christopher was puzzled. “So what if you were married? Don't you deserve to live a blissful life?”

Kathleen bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

Christopher smiled kindly. “Be kinder to yourself, Kathleen. Don't shackle yourself to such an extent.”

Kathleen nodded. “Alright.”

Christopher smiled.

Charles arrived with a large bouquet of roses in his hands at that moment.

“You're here, Charles!” Kathleen greeted her brother with a smile. “Where did the

flowers come from?”

Charles stared at her by way of greeting. “I got this for you for switching wards.”

“Old Mrs. Macari made the arrangements,” Kathleen explained.

“Old Mrs. Macari sure is a good woman,” Charles said gratefully. “There aren’t many old people like her anymore. I'll be sure to pay her a visit and thank her in person.”

Kathleen shook her head helplessly as she held the large bouquet in her hands. “You shouldn't go to the Macari residence, Charles. You're going to quarrel with Samuel when you meet him. That'll make Grandma really sad.”

“Be good and stay away from him,” Charles coaxed. “Then we'll have less of a chance to cross paths.”

Kathleen was left even more speechless.

“I've secured your refund from The Fantastic Restaurant,” Charles announced in explanation for his late arrival. “There wasn't a problem as both parties have mutually terminated the contract.”

“That's good.” Kathleen nodded.

“Why are you worried about something like that?” Charles sat down and crossed his legs. “We'll see if they dare put you through any more indignities!”

Kathleen was at a loss for words.

Christopher smiled. “Mr. Johnson is right. With us by your side, nobody will dare wrong you again. Don't worry about it.”

Kathleen sighed in resignation.

Christopher and Charles left soon after that.

Kathleen wasn't the only artist Charles had on his roster.

As the entertainment company he was in charge of was one of the biggest in the country, he didn't have much time to spend with Kathleen.

The same was true for Christopher. Since taking over Morris Group, he had been kept very busy.

Therefore, the task of caring for Kathleen fell to Valerie.

Kathleen was in the middle of reading a script when her phone vibrated with a notification.

As it turned out, Nancy and the others formed a chat group without Astrid.

Nancy was the first to text: Did you really quit, Kathleen?

Kathleen: I did. My body can't take the strain anymore.

Nancy: Hah! No wonder the production team suddenly changed their minds and announced that they were going to have three new artists over for the next few episodes.

John: Doesn't this count as lying to the viewers? Kate has been recovering at a steady pace. Why are they making arrangements for her replacements?

Kathleen was embarrassed.
