"Don't set a trap for me to fall into, I'm just hypothesizing." Zoe would never say something that would put her at a disadvantage right now. "But I truly feel that Ms. Zimmerman is just focused on acting skills. It's completely acceptable for her to point out bad acting if she sees it.""Zoe York, you've really changed!" Wynn lamented as he shook his head.He had seen Zoe when she was an A-lister. She had been extremely proud and haughty back then.Yet, now…She was on the verge of having the title 'Bootlicker of the Entertainment Circle' bestowed upon her.-One week later, Cordy brought Richard to the capital.Before that, she called Zoe and Quinn out for another meal.Zoe kept yawning non-stop throughout the meal.It was clear that she was beyond exhausted."Are you that tired?" Quinn said, her heart aching for her friend. "If it's really too tough, just quit.""No way. This is my only chance at a comeback that finally came after so long." Zoe rejected Quinn's suggestion
After the meal, Cordy set off for the capital.She had never told Zoe and Quinn about her true identity. She felt that her relationship with them in the capital was not deep and she only went back to placate them. Zoe and Quinn did not need to know about her life in the capital.It was cold in the capital, but this time, Cordy went prepared with thicker and warmer clothes. Sean picked her and Richard from the airport.After they got into the car, he said "Don't even think about bringing Dicky to stay in a hotel. We've prepared a room for the two of you which we've furnished and cleaned at least three times.""Okay." Cordy did not think about going back on her word.She could not retract her words once she said it even though she detested the idea deep down in her heart.Sean did not pay further attention to Cordy. Instead, he looked at Richard through the rear view mirror and asked, "Dicky, have you thought of where you'd like me to bring you to play in your visit to the capita
She clearly remembered it when she left her house, but it slipped her mind with so many other things she had to remember.Cordy sighed.'Forget it,' she thought. 'I'll head out later to buy some sleeping pills.'Cordy did not feel too troubled by it.After tidying her room, one of the servants came to tell them to head downstairs for some food.Everyone in the family was seated together.Yet, it was eerily quiet at the table."Dicky, what do you like to eat? I'll get the servants to prepare your favorite food for you," Jesse asked enthusiastically.He really liked Richard from the bottom of his heart.Whenever Richard came to visit, he would try to engage in small talk with him.Richard had a good relationship with Alan and was adept at talking to older folks."Thank you, Great-grandfather. I like eating everything on the table. I share similar tastes with my mommy," Richard replied to him immediately."She has similar tastes to your grandmother," Jesse said with slight sor
Sean was taken aback too.Why would Cordy like something that only little girls fancied?But he did not reject their requests. He asked Richard, "Do you want one too?""I can give it a try." Richard nodded.Richard did not like snacks. To be accurate, he didn't like eating food from outside. But if Mommy liked it, he was willing to give it a go."Sure."Sean walked into the milk tea shop.Just then, a man walked out.Sean was stunned for a moment.Lucas was shocked too.The moment both men brushed past each other, Lucas saw Cordy and Richard standing along the street.Cordy and Richard spotted him too.Richard had thought he would never see Lucas again. The sudden meeting made him lose control of his emotions as he yelled out, "Daddy!"Lucas' brows furrowed.He had told Richard before that he was not his daddy.But before Lucas could speak, that girl sipping on milk tea walked toward Lucas in all smiles, wrapping her arms naturally around Lucas' arm. Her eyes lit up when
Richard kept his eyes fixed on Mommy and the calm look on her face, wondering if she was putting on a front."Mommy, are you angry?" Richard asked cautiously."I am." Cordy nodded."Daddy might have lost his memory…""Dicky, he's not your daddy. Don't call him that next time. It's not good if other people misunderstand things," Cordy reminded him.This time, the girl did not realize that Richard was calling Lucas.If she did, it would be hard for Cordy to explain things."Oh, okay." Richard nodded."As for why I'm angry, it's not because Lucas has a girlfriend. I already knew that. I am angry because how exactly is he better looking than you are?" Cordy became angrier the more she thought about it.Her son was clearly the most handsome person in this whole world.All right, she admitted that she was biased as his mother. But she could not accept Lucas saying that he was more handsome than her son."Er…I think that Daddy, no, I mean Lucas does look better than I do." Richard
Seeing that Cordy wasn’t reacting for a long while, the girl asked awkwardly, "You don't remember me?"Cordy wondered if she could say no. Nonetheless, the girl flashed an innocent smile and introduced herself. "Well, it makes sense that you'd forget since you're so beautiful, while I'm so plain. We met just yesterday outside that store. We were both waiting for someone."Cordy smiled, feeling that it would be impolite if she still stayed distant. "Yeah, I remember.""Really?" The girl was beaming. "I'm so glad that a beauty like you would remember me!"Cordy smiled faintly in turn, and glanced at Lucas, who stood by the girl and stared at her.Was he worried she misspoke? But he had nothing to worry about—she loathed him, but she wouldn’t sink that low. "You think my boyfriend looks just like your son, right?" the girl asked excitedly.Cordy blinked.She was just glancing at Lucas once, yet the girl noticed?Still, she had to admit that the girl was very tactful—she was
"It's nothing," Sean assured Dicky. "I'm fine on my own. Just don't go anywhere.”"Okay."Sean strode past Lucas as he headed towards Cordy, while Lucas headed towards Dicky."You like these?" Lucas asked Dicky.Dicky turned, and was startled when he saw Lucas.The next second, he was delighted and quickly asked, "Dad—I mean, Lucas, did you come to see us?""No. Sorry to disappoint you." Lucas never allowed anyone to fantasize."What are you doing here, then?" "Just came to visit.""You like this stuff?""More or less," Lucas said begrudgingly.More or less? Dicky doubted that—adults wouldn’t just 'visit' a place like this.But it was fine, since his daddy was such a coward. He should be considerate to his daddy's dignity and not expose him. "By the way, did you do the paternity test?" Lucas asked casually. It wasn’t as if he cared, but he had the right to know since he was someone involved."Oh.""And?""There was an issue with the sample," Dicky explained quickl
Unable to stand the sight, Cordy strode out of the planetarium to wait.It was a huge science center, and each section had many stalls for snacks and merchandise.Cordy soon grew bored from waiting, and headed outside a stall to pick a cone ice-cream.But while she waited, she was left breathing a deep sigh as she realized there was no shaking off certain people."I want some ice-cream.""No, you just had it last night. Your stomach would suffer if you had more," Lucas said sternly. "I hate you!""Be nice, and I'll take you to the amusement park later." Lucas was coaxing his girlfriend as if she was a child. One must admit that Lucas treated his girlfriend well, even if he was harsh towards everyone else.It was clear how protective Lucas was of her, too.Just as Cordy was about to leave with her ice-cream, the girl stopped her again. "Excuse me, pretty lady!"Cordy wanted to tell her that they had only met by chance, which made them strangers; and strangers didn’t have to
