Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton Chapter 194
Seeing Lauren's eager eyes, Wyneth felt like she was not holding just a jacket, but something very precious."Take it, take it." Wyneth gave it to her."Thank you!" Lauren took the jacket and tie thrillingly.That was probably her first time getting so close to her idol.She initially thought that it was already a great honor to be in the same variety show as Finn. She would never dare to dream of holding Finn's clothes in her arms.Lauren felt like after holding Finn's clothes, she would not need to shower that night. Also, she was going to keep the outfit she was wearing and frame it to cherish it forever.Wyneth had no idea what Lauren was thinking at all. Besides, she never knew what it felt like to be a fan of someone. However, after meeting Yoyo and now Lauren, she could understand them more.Finn was probably provoked by what Derek said earlier, so he adjusted himself and started taking the competition seriously.To him, it was fine to lose a competition or follow just a

Coincidentally, Wyneth was coming out of the kitchen, and she saw Finn returning with Lauren. Then, she casually said, "Oh, you guys are back. Wash your hands and let's eat. We still have other tasks to do in the afternoon.""Wyneth, did you make all of this yourself?" Lauren looked at the dishes on the table, feeling surprised and astonished. She felt like it must have been very difficult to prepare such a feast."Yeah.""Wow! You're unbelievable! I mean it!" Lauren was genuinely impressed.Derek could not help but lift his brows and smile, giving Wyneth a big thumbs-up.However, when Finn saw the food on the table, his face immediately darkened.He stood there with an icy and gloomy aura. Nobody there noticed it, but the camera captured everything."Let's wash our hands and eat," Wyneth said.She spoke very softly, but her voice sounded gentle and powerful. Lauren recollected herself and reluctantly put down Finn's jacket before going to wash her hands.Derek followed suit.

On the other side, the trio team did not share the same good fortune. They had wrestled with their morning task till midday, with the lion's share of the work falling to Harry and Henry. Giada had barely lifted a finger. Harry, having borne the brunt of the work, was now exhausted to the bone, his clothes soaked through, looking as though he had been dredged from the depths of a lake. Seeing him in such a state, Giada could not help but recoil, her distaste for his bedraggled appearance plain on her face.Harry, already worn down to a nub, felt a simmering resentment at her reaction. "What are you flinching for? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this state, would I?"Giada found herself speechless. She longed to retort, but considering she was still teamed up with him, and might need his help in the afternoon, she thought better of it. If she lashed out now, he might refuse to help her later. Biting her lip, she suppressed her temper and forced a chuckle. "I didn't mean anything

By the time they wrapped up their chaos and returned to their lodging, the other team had already eaten dinner and retreated to their rooms for some well-earned rest. Upon hearing the news, the trio could only exchange blank looks.Meanwhile, Lauren had managed to wash off her day's exhaustion. Despite a day's worth of filming, she felt far from tired. In fact, she was bursting with energy. Fresh out of the shower, she darted straight to Wyneth."Wyneth, you can tell me about your relationship with Finn now, right?" Her curiosity was killing her, an itch she had restrained all day because of Wyneth's steadfast discretion. Now, her eyes shone with eagerness, fixed on Wyneth's beautiful face. "Are you two dating? No, wait, that doesn't seem right. So, is he pursuing you? Gosh, I can't even picture my idol chasing after someone."Wyneth just looked at her, wordless."So, is that it? Is that it?""None of the above," Wyneth finally spoke, shaking her head. "Family.""Family?" Lauren'

Seeing Giada, Lauren felt a surge of unease. With that smile plastered on her face, Giada reminded Lauren of an old adage—beware of Greeks bearing gifts. 'But who am I to spurn such an offer? After all, one shouldn't burn bridges, especially those that lead to more illustrious names,' Lauren thought. Thus, like a timid little lamb, she followed Giada outside.Everyone was taking their rest at this time, so the surroundings were quiet save for Giada and her manager Natalie. Upon seeing Lauren, Natalie quickly stepped forward, reaching out to clasp Lauren's wrist in a show of false intimacy. "Lauren, you've been working so hard today, haven't you?"Lauren said nothing.Natalie continued, "You were startled by Giada's outburst yesterday, right? She didn't mean to take it out on you. She just had a minor upset beforehand and lost control. I hope you aren't upset."'So that's why they called me out here?' Lauren realized. Giada was still hung up on Finn, but she did not see why they wou

"Very well, you're a good sport. Go on then. Tomorrow, when we're assembling our teams, you come to me and propose the switch yourself, got it?"Lauren nodded, shame washing over her. As she walked away, her head felt light and fuzzy. When she made it back to her room, it took a moment for her to regain her bearings.Wyneth, noticing the subtle change in Lauren's demeanor and movements since her return, asked, "What's wrong?"Shaking her head, Lauren mumbled, "No, nothing."Wyneth had not taken note of who had summoned Lauren outside. She only knew that she had left shortly after opening the door. Given that they were all adults, Wyneth did not pry into Lauren's affairs. Seeing that Lauren did not want to talk about it, Wyneth let it be and got ready for bed.The next day, before they departed, the group gathered. Wyneth moved to the side to apply her sunscreen. Lauren, originally intending to join Wyneth, had just started moving when she heard a soft cough from Giada. Lauren stop

A sense of tension hung in the air, reflected in the faces of the guests and crew members present. Aside from Harry's team and the photographers from the day before, everyone knew that Finn and Wyneth were acquainted. Finn's request for Wyneth's sunscreen seemed harmless enough. But Giada's motive was a tad too blatant.Finn looked at the sunscreen bottle, his eyes darkening. When Giada had greeted him yesterday, he considered her a junior. Without a change in expression, he reached past the spray-on sunscreen Giada offered and took the lotion from Wyneth's hand.Giada's smile froze on her lips. "F-Finn, don't you like using spray-on sunscreen?""Yes," Finn responded nonchalantly.Giada's hand hung in mid-air, awkwardly caught between withdrawal and staying put.Harry, with his straight-forward nature, hurried over, calling out, "Give me some, give me some. I got sunburnt yesterday."Though Giada did not fancy Harry, his boisterous intervention helped to diffuse the awkwardness.

"Okay."By the time they reached the oxcart, Finn was the first to climb aboard. He then extended his hand to Wyneth. "Come on up."Expressionless, Wyneth placed her hand in his, allowing him to help her up. They settled next to each other, their actions as natural as breathing. Finn did not seem to see himself as a top-tier celebrity, and even more startling was Wyneth's placid demeanor. It was as though Finn, the one helping her aboard, was just another ordinary Joe.'What on earth?' thought Giada, 'What happened yesterday that I don't know about before I joined this team?'Lost in her thoughts, she barely noticed Derek leap onto the cart, offering her his hand. "Up you go."Giada bit back her disappointment. She had hoped Finn would be the one to lend her a hand. But he was already seated, so she resigned herself to giving her hand to Derek, taking her place on the oxcart. Since Finn and Wyneth had already claimed the other side, she had no choice but to sit with Derek.Wyneth

"I heard," Hayden sighed, thinking she might tell him not to touch her."What do you think?" Wyneth asked."Me?" A small smile formed on Hayden's lips as he gently kissed her. "It's whatever you want."Wyneth's eyes sparkled. "So, you'll listen to me?"Hayden hesitated. "Except...""What?" Wyneth's tone shifted to annoyance. "You aren't backing out, right? You just said it's up to me.""It's not that I'm backing out," Hayden said, "I just have one condition. I'll listen to you any other time, but there's one thing I can't do.""What thing?" Wyneth asked.Hayden leaned in and whispered in her ear. Wyneth's face turned a shade of pink, and she pushed him away, gasping."You're such a creep!" she exclaimed.Hayden took her wrist, drawing her close and kissed her earlobe. "What's the matter? Isn't this okay for us? Don't you think so?" As he kissed her, he began to unbutton her collar. His voice was low and smooth. "Just listen to me this one time. For everything else, whatever y

On the ride home from the hotel, tears rolled down Wyneth's cheeks nonstop. This time, though, she was not alone by the car window. She was nestled in Hayden's arms. He wiped away each tear, comforting her all the way."Don't cry. It's just a mix-up, okay? He said he's fine and will be around for a long time," Hayden whispered.Despite his soothing words, Wyneth's tears did not cease. Seeing this, Hayden, filled with concern, gently asked, "Is this not what you wanted?"Confused, Wyneth looked up. "What are you talking about? I'm beyond happy he's alive."Hayden smiled, gently wiping her eyes. "Then why are you still crying?""I'm crying because..." Wyneth bit her lower lip, with Hector's words echoing in her mind.She had always been upset, believing her father had not wanted her years ago. But just as she was about to leave, Cindy pulled her aside. "Wyneth," her mother said gently, "your dad did want you. When I divorced him, I had just one demand.""What was it?""I wanted o

Everyone was silent. Just before entering the private dining room, Wyneth blurted out, "Is he really dying?" Hearing this, Andrew's steps halted. Before he could answer, she added, "How long does he have? Why didn't anyone say anything before?"Andrew sighed and turned around. "Is that why you're here?" Wyneth pursed her lips. A wave of uncertainty washed over Andrew. 'This mom and daughter,' he thought, 'they're here because they got it all wrong. Mom is acting differently toward Dad, too. She was all tough before, but now she's gone soft, probably thinks Dad is dying. And Dad? He's just laughing, like he's having a good time with all this mess.' Andrew hesitated, then said, "Let's talk inside." He chose to hold his words for now.Hayden and Wyneth walked into the private dining room. Cindy was passing dishes to Hector. As they entered, every pair of eyes turned their way. A divorced couple and six sons stared at Hayden. Used to the predictable world of leadership, Hayden now ventur

In the end, Wyneth decided to stay. She could see the honesty in Matilda's words and knew she was sincere. Recognizing Matilda as not her birth mother made Wyneth realize she should not hold her to the same expectations. With acceptance, she focused on building her future with Hayden, freeing herself from doubts and reservations.With Wyneth's decision to stay, Matilda's heart swelled with joy and immense honor. Realizing Wyneth's sincere intentions, not merely chasing the Hamilton family's wealth, transformed their relationship. Matilda's newfound warmth toward her was evident. Gifts, once withheld, now freely flowed into Wyneth's room. At auctions, Matilda eagerly bid on items for Wyneth. During jewelry store visits, Matilda generously bought her gifts, swiping her credit card without hesitation, and welcoming her nearly as a daughter.Wyneth received a call from her mother. Even after so many years, her mom, Cindy, was still bossy. "Your father isn't doing well. You should come to

Just at that moment, a knock sounded from outside."Sir, your mother is back," someone said.Hayden could feel the person in his arms stiffen, her body tensed. "Don't worry, I'm right here," he reassured her softly."Your mother heard that Ms. Walford is here. She wants to see her," the voice from outside continued.'Meet me?' Wyneth bit her lower lip lightly. 'Why does she want to see me? To insult me again?'"She hasn't eaten yet. She can meet her after eating," Hayden said, gently turning down the request for Wyneth. Outside, everything fell silent."Won't this offend your mom?" Wyneth's voice filled with concern as she asked.Hayden looked at Wyneth, pausing for a moment before speaking. "I know she's been mean to you," he said. Wyneth's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm sorry." He bent down and lightly kissed her forehead. "You've been treated unfairly." Seeing her blink, he added, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll go with you."Wyneth was a bit nervous, but not as anxious a

Hector was speechless as Cindy mistakenly thought he was ill. Seeing her worried face, he felt the misunderstanding might not be so terrible. He shared a look with Andrew. His eldest son caught on immediately, giving a subtle head shake. Understanding the signal not to mislead Cindy any further, Hector hesitated before gently asking, "Can I see her? Even just a glance?" It had been many years since he last saw his daughter up close, and she had not called him "Dad" in all that time.Cindy, lost in thought, stared at Hector before finally nodding as if admitting defeat. "Fine, I'll call her."Later, Wyneth fell asleep. Upon waking, she found herself on the large bed in Hayden's bedroom. She saw Hayden sitting at the sofa, busy with a computer.Hearing her movement, Hayden immediately got up and walked toward her. "Awake? Thirsty or hungry? Want something to eat first?"Having slept through lunch, Wyneth was hungry, so she nodded. "Sure."After Hayden left to give some instructions,

'He shifts moods so fast,' Wyneth thought as she stared at her unattended ringing phone.Observing her delay, Hayden asked, "What's going on?"In his mind, a thought flickered, 'She seems reluctant to take the call. Perhaps there's tension with her eldest brother?'"He's calling now; must be about him," Wyneth whispered."About your dad?"They had decided to be together, and Wyneth did not hide anything from him. "Yeah, my dad."Hayden did not utter a single word."I don't like him," Wyneth softly said, staring at her ringing phone. "Answer it for me and say I'm asleep," she whispered to Hayden as she cozied up to him. Without a word, Hayden picked up the phone and conveyed the message before ending the call.After ending the call, a curious Hector asked, "Well? Where is she?"Understanding the situation, Andrew said, "She didn't answer the phone; she's asleep."Despite hearing the words, Hector felt something was off. He sighed, "She really doesn't like me.""Don't worry, D

"Trouble recognizing faces? What do you mean?" Hector Spencer asked.Andrew sighed. "Dad, he's Wyneth's ex-husband."Hector's eyes widened in surprise. "He is? No wonder I didn't recognize him. I must've barely seen him before.""Is that what's bothering you?" Andrew asked."What else would it be?" Hector replied, still taken aback.Andrew sighed. His dad, Hector, was good at many things and never stayed mad at people. But there was one funny thing about him: he could never remember faces of people outside their family. "You don't mind?" Andrew asked.Smiling, Hector replied, "Mind what? She's told everyone, so she must be ready. I've never been the dad she favored. If I object now, won't she dislike me even more?"Andrew was left speechless by this. He had not expected Hector to have no objections. "Seems like someone doesn't need your approval."Changing the topic, Hector asked, "What about your mom? Is she back?" He had been living alone for many years.Andrew exhaled. "I t
