Franklin was taken aback for a moment. It was not usual to clear the set during filming, as many enjoyed observing the seasoned actors perform, learning from them. But with Luke insisting, Franklin agreed, promptly instructing the set workers to clear the area. But it amused him. 'I didn't know Luke would be so shy. Clearing the set is usually for intimate scenes, and he wants it clear for just a flirtatious one?'With the order to clear the set, the crowd disbursed, much to their dismay. Wyneth, on the other hand, sighed in relief. As she pondered on this, a cold voice fell from above her."How will you thank me?"'Thank?' Wyneth looked up, meeting his icy black gaze. She blinked in surprise, taking a moment to process his words before asking, "Thank you?""That's it? Just a thank you?""What else then?"Luke was about to respond when Franklin interjected, "Ready yet?" Hearing that, Luke had to swallow his response, taking his position opposite Wyneth."Action!"The night was
"Luke?"Franklin's voice brought Luke back to reality with a jolt, a thin layer of sweat covering his forehead. As soon as he registered what was happening, he gripped Wyneth's hands that hung around his neck and tried to push her away. The moment he touched her delicate wrists, the softness of her skin unnerved him. With a swift push, he detached her from him.Everyone on set was baffled. 'What just happened? Weren't they doing fine a moment ago? Why did he suddenly push her away?' They exchanged confused glances, speculating if the rumors were true. 'Does Luke really despise Wyneth?'Caught off guard, Wyneth almost toppled to the ground. Luckily, she regained her balance. It was only then she noticed Luke's slightly perspired forehead and his heavy breathing. Concerned, she asked, "Are you okay?"The people around, overhearing her question, rushed to show their concern."What happened, Luke?""You okay, Luke? You seem off today. You're not feeling well, are you?""Jeez, Luke i
"Don't worry. He's fine." Luke's assistant betrayed him without hesitating in order not to worry the beautiful woman. "Luke is still taking a cold shower.""I see."Wyneth did not notice anything strange about the cold shower remark.After all, it was already summer, and many people started taking cold showers.So, she pursed her lips and asked, "Could you tell him that I'm here for him?""Of course."The assistant had completely forgotten about how terrifying Luke's eyes were just now and immediately went to open the door.After that, he turned around and shouted, "Luke, Ms. Walford is looking for you."Just as Luke was about to dry his hair, he was caught off guard by what he heard. Then, he hurriedly ran to the closet and wrapped himself tightly in a bathrobe.After that, he started walking outside. However, he felt like he covered too much skin after taking a few steps.So, he stood there and tugged at the collar of the bathrobe, revealing his muscular chest.Then, he th
Wyneth's expression distorted for a moment, almost saying, 'How shameless can you be?'Luke found himself ridiculous after saying that and quickly added before she could respond, "Forget it. Did you come here just to apologize?"Wyneth nodded, and Luke continued speaking in a dissatisfied tone, "Okay then.""So…" Wyneth looked at him. "Mr. Langdon, have you accepted my apology then?"Luke frowned. "Would you drop the formalities?""Sure."Wyneth immediately changed her tone. "Luke, have you forgiven me then?""Mhm." Although he did not respond in a very pleasant way, he still accepted her apology."Is that all? Should I at least treat you to a meal or give you a present?"Luke's displeased expression softened upon hearing that as he looked at the rosy-faced Wyneth and asked, "Are you sure you want to treat me to a meal and give me a present?"Wyneth nodded.Luke's mood somehow brightened because of what she said.However, Wyneth added, "Would that make you forgive me?""Wh
Hayden finally had some time for himself late at night. He leaned back on the sofa while massaging his slightly aching forehead.He had been extremely busy for the past few days.When everything around him quieted down, he suddenly remembered that the woman would be gone for some time to shoot a show.He had not received any messages from her.She also did not update anything on her Instagram.Hayden opened their chat box and scrolled through the conversation with his slender finger.Most of the conversations were initiated by her and replied to by him afterward. For example:[Hayden, are you coming back for dinner tonight? I made some ribs. It's a new recipe I learned.]He was busy when he received that message, so he replied in a very indifferent tone: [I have work to do. Eat first.][Oh, okay. I'll not disturb you then. Take care of yourself. After all, you just woke not long ago. Don't overwork yourself.]Hayden did not reply to this message. He probably went right back t
So, Wyneth had no choice but to delete the post she had uploaded earlier.Then, she rested her chin on her hand and pondered, 'It was only up for a while. I don't think anybody would've seen it, right?'After all, she bought a wallet as a gift, and if someone else saw it…It meant that she had to buy another gift.However, Wyneth realized that she was just overthinking. The wallet was just a gift she gave as an apology, and she did not even know if Luke would accept it, let alone use it.She was not bothered to upload another new post upon thinking about that.However, Amelia texted Wyneth continuously as if she had discovered a huge secret after not getting any responses from her.[What's going on? Did you get a new boyfriend? You move on pretty quickly.][Well, it’s actually not that quick. After all, it's been a few months, not to mention how that man treated you back then. It's best to get a new boyfriend right after the divorce to drive him mad.]Wyneth was speechless.[
Wyneth nodded.Luke initially thought that she was going to give that to another man, but after knowing that it was for her own brother, his expression looked less sour.He glanced at Wyneth and noticed that she was still staring at him, so he asked in a hoarse voice, "It's for me, isn't it?""Are you willing to accept it now?"Wyneth handed the box to him hesitantly.Luke took it in a somewhat rough and reserved manner as he pursed his lips. "Okay. I'll forget about what happened since I've accepted your gift."That was exactly what Wyneth wanted to hear."Sure."Luke got worried that she might have forgotten about what she said earlier after seeing the satisfied look on her face, so he directly reminded her, "Don't forget about the meal.""I won't."That was when Luke's sour face finally softened.Then, they filmed the evening scenes as scheduled.The director was worried that they would not be able to shoot that night, but Luke's face no longer looked gloomy during the s
Benedict posed a checkmate against his opponent, leaving him stunned for a while before bursting into laughter."Old man, I wasn't expecting you to still be so good after not playing for so long."Benedict stroked his beard with satisfaction upon hearing that."Of course. Although I'm getting older, I can't neglect my chess skills.""However, you shouldn't spend all your time thinking about chess. What about your grandson? Is there any progress?"The Hamilton family had kept the marriage between Hayden and Wyneth a secret.Benedict did not tell anyone about it when he found out that a girl was married into his family back then.After all, it was not something to be celebrated for the Hamilton family, let alone for Wyneth.He figured that the outsiders would think that Wyneth only wanted to marry Hayden at that time for his family's wealth if anyone were to know, and gossip could be dangerous.That was why the Hamilton family kept it a secret.No one knew about it other than a
