Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455 Family Ties and Distance

“Mr. Johnson, you’re giving me too much credit. You’ve won several international awards, and this script is outstanding. Working with you is my honor.

“You want to keep winning awards, and my goal is Best Actor. So sometimes I’ve lost my temper during filming. I hope you don’t hold it against me.”

“Of course not. Mr. Jenson, with that kind of dedication, you’ll always deliver the best to the audience.

After the talk, Darell noticed Silva sitting in the corner and walked over.

She was enjoying a slice of cake. Since it was a wrap party, she wasn’t wearing her usual dark robe. Instead, she wore something brighter and looked more relaxed.

“Ms. Silva.”

“Oh, it’s you, Darell. Congratulations.”

Because of what had happened on set that day, their relationship felt warmer now.

Still, Silva could see the shadow in Darell’s eyes. “What’s wrong, Darell? Filming is over. You don’t look happy.”

Darell’s voice was flat. “My family is different. Tilda and I have never spoken. We’ve never even

If not for the dream of Tilda dying in the fire and the curse, Darell would never have thought of her.

Even with Kyla, once the Jensons‘ most beloved, Darell had always been distant.

In truth, he was the odd one out at home..

If not for Russell and the others reminding him to treat Kyla better, he wouldn’t have bothered.

And for an actor like Darell, showing kindness on screen was easy enough.

But in real life, that was never his nature.

“You handle that,” she muttered. “Why even bring this up? Let’s just eat cake instead.”
