Chapter 59
Ned smiled and playfully teased Ingrid as usual, “It still hurts! If you come to visit me, the pain will go away.”
Ingrid chuckled at his playful banter.
“It sounds like you’re fine! I’ll see you after I complete my shoot in the next few days.”
“Since you’re not coming, I’ll make time to visit you on the set!”
Ned’s voice was full of tenderness.
On the other end of the phone, Ingrid hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ned, if you’re still willing, let’s get married after I finish filming this movie!”
She added, “The car accident involving Angie’s adoptive mother really shook me. I was honestly so scared when I watched the video. I was afraid that you might’ve been hit by the car!”
Ingrid’s voice choked up. Her whole body trembled when she watched the video. Although the way she thought about Anne’s passing was very inappropriate, she genuinely felt relieved that it wasn’t Ned who was hit by the car.
Ned felt a pang of heartache upon hearing her choked–up voice.
“Baby…”
Ingrid continued, “We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. So, Ned… I want to live in the moment! Angie has moved on, and you’vé finalized the divorce. The two of you have gone your separate
ways. I think you’re right. I should let go of the moral constraint and treasure every day we spend together.”
Ingrid’s words were sincere.
Ned replied softly, “Okay. I’ll prepare a grand proposal for you and give you an unforgettable
memory.”
After ending the call, Ingrid stared at the phone screen, lost in thought. Ned’s reaction when she mentioned their marriage caught her off guard. She thought he would be overjoyed, maybe even jump at the chance to propose right then and there.
Ingrid forced herself not to dwell on it and told her assistant, “Give me the script.”
The assistant handed her the script as he helped remove her wig.
The assistant said to Ingrid cautiously as she read the script with her head down, “Ms. Dalton, you’re only 24 and already prospering in your career. You’re sure to lose many fans by getting married. Ms. Davis wouldn’t agree to it either.”
+15 BONUS.
Linda Davis was Ingrid’s manager, and she had been supporting Ingrid in her career wholeheartedly throughout the years.
“I’ll inform Ms. Davis about it.”
Ingrid absentmindedly pretended to make notes on the script with a pen. Although Angeline and Ned had officially divorced and Angeline had given up on Ned, her sense of crisis inexplicably grew
stronger.
“Ingie!”
Linda burst into the room excitedly.
She continued, “You’re amazing!”
Ingrid lifted her gaze and looked at Linda in the mirror puzzledly. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Linda casually tossed her bag onto the makeup table. She then picked up a water bottle, opened it, and took a few sips.
She leaned against the makeup table and told Ingrid, “You’ve no idea how satisfying today is!
“Today, the second son of the Norwalk family, Simon Norwalk, personally came to our company for an endorsement. I thought they were coming for Charles Brown, the award- winning actor.
“Instead, he demanded a female promoter for Norwalk Corporation in Lonla and requested explicitly for you! Who’d have thought that Sabrina Walsh’s manager smelled blood and also tried to recommend Sabrina to him?
“We’re from the same company, and I didn’t expose any dirt on her artists. Yet, she brought up your hidden relationship with Ned Fletcher, the son of the Fletcher family!”
Linda braced herself against the makeup table with her hand. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Ingrid.
“And surprisingly, right after she finished speaking, Simon straightforwardly said that he here for Ned’s girlfriend, hoping you’d serve as the endorser for his company! Can you believe
