Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton Chapter 340
"What did you say?"Matilda looked at Hayden in disbelief.The person in front of her was not just her son, but also the founder of StarCrest Entertainment. Not only did he possess creativity and innovation, but also the capability to make his own decisions.Hayden was never like the other children, and he had always been different since he was young. Perhaps it had something to do with the environment he grew up in, but as a child, he had always made decisions on his own no matter what they were. He would never seek advice from his father, who was never at home anyway, nor his busybody mother.He had basically grown up alone in life, which was why he had not asked for his mother's opinion on the divorce agreement. That was also the reason why Matilda was so furious. She could not understand why her son would never consult her before making any decisions."Mom, is there anything else I can help you with?" Hayden turned to another page of the document in his hand while reading the

Upon hearing that, Matilda nodded instantly. "You're right. Go fetch Mr. Zach for me."Soon, Nathan was summoned to Matilda's presence. Standing in the living room, he was somewhat baffled. 'What could Mrs. Hamilton possibly want with me all of a sudden? Could it be some contract that needs drafting?' As he was lost in thought, the maid walked Matilda in."Mr. Zach, you've arrived.""Mrs. Hamilton," Nathan promptly acknowledged with a nod, "What can I do for you?" He had a heap of work awaiting his attention, yet he had been beckoned by Matilda, so he had no choice but to show up."I do have a favor to ask," Matilda said with a smile, pointing to a nearby chair. "Come, have a seat. Let's talk."Nathan wanted to tell her he was busy and needed to get back to work, but he respected Hayden's mother, so he held back and sat down. That's when Matilda spoke again, in a gentle tone, "You see, Mr. Zach, Hayden is a really innocent person. He often gets taken advantage of by mean folks, wi

'Did not even read the agreement?' Matilda stood frozen. "What do you mean?"Nathan took a deep breath before explaining, "What I mean is, Ms. Walford was serious about leaving with nothing. It wasn't just lip service. Because she had already made up her mind to walk away without a dime, she didn't even bother to read the divorce agreement—she just signed it."Even now, Nathan found the memory startling. Wyneth had signed the papers without a second glance, just wanting to get it over with and leave. 'If Ms. Walford was truly a gold-digger, she would have negotiated some financial settlement for herself, especially after Hayden offered one. Why didn't she take it? The only explanation is that she truly didn't care about the Hamilton family's wealth.'"That's impossible!" Matilda rejected the idea immediately. "A woman like her, if not for money, why else would she marry Hayden?"Nathan, as puzzled as her, could only shrug. "I don't know, Mrs. Hamilton. What do you think?"The maid

Wyneth just chuckled and kept her peace. Yoyo knew better than to push, opting instead to divert their course. "Come on, let's go eat and drink downstairs. My treat. Let's have barbecue."As Yoyo pulled her downstairs, Wyneth laughed. "Barbecue? Aren't you afraid your manager will scold you?"Yoyo licked her lips in anticipation. "It's been a long time since I've had a decent meal. I've lost a few pounds lately; a barbecue meal shouldn't hurt."Just as they were about to enter the barbecue restaurant, they bumped into a familiar face: Luke's assistant."Wyneth," Luke's assistant, Leo Foster, lit up when he saw her. "You're here for the barbecue too?""Leo?""Yes, it's me." Leo nodded.Recognizing Leo as Luke's assistant, Yoyo could not help but tease, "Are you here to sneak some food behind Luke's back, or are you buying for him?"Caught in his secret snack mission, Leo had no choice but to pass the blame to Luke. "It's for... for Luke. I've got to run. He's waiting for me back

'What's he up to now?' thought Leo.Luke pulled out his phone and found Wyneth's contact. He was about to call her, but then it occurred to him that they were not quite on "call each other anytime" terms. So, he put the phone down, standing there, looking almost defeated."Luke?" Leo blinked and tentatively suggested, "When I left, they'd just gotten to the restaurant. You could probably 'bump into' them if you hurry." As soon as the words left his mouth, Leo clamped it shut. 'What did I just say? Am I actually encouraging him to arrange an accidental meeting with Wyneth? Luke is an A-lister. If he's spotted out having barbecue with a female star, won't that make the headlines tomorrow? No, no, no, more like in an hour.'But before he could retract his words, Luke shot him a deep look, grabbed his jacket, and headed toward the door."Luke, I was just joking! You don't have to go."Luke glanced at him coldly. "I'm going downstairs for a drink. Got a problem with that?""Sh-Should

Wyneth had initially wanted to say hi to Luke, considering he was her senior in the acting circle. But she felt his gaze lightly graze over her before swiftly pulling back and sauntering off to order his food as if he had not seen her. The urge to greet him vanished instantly.'Fair enough, he's Luke after all, top-tier among male actors. He only spoke to me because we were co-stars. Now that filming is over, why would he risk any misunderstandings by chatting to me off set?' she mused, sipping some water.Yoyo kept babbling, "How can he eat such high-calorie food and still maintain such a good figure?"At this, Wyneth shot her a look. "Probably does it like you do.""Huh?""Eats once every few months, then starves for a few more.""Sounds about right." Yoyo broke into a satisfied grin. "Glad I'm not the only one suffering." Then Yoyo looked up to see Luke, having finished ordering, apparently searching for a place to sit. The place was packed, and some actresses at the neighbori

The vibe at the table shifted abruptly, turning icy in the blink of an eye. Even Yoyo, who typically sailed through life without a care in the world, sensed the sudden frost in the air. She shot a glance at Wyneth, her expression unreadable, then swung her gaze over to Luke.'Whoa... am I sensing some unusual tension here? Or is it just me?' She blinked, once and then again, putting on an act of playing the innocent, blissfully ignorant of the unfolding drama.Wyneth shot Luke an odd look. "So, you've got a thing for silver, huh, Luke?" Luke choked slightly on her words. She pursued. "What kind of silver pieces pique your interest?" Wyneth leaned her chin on her hand, her posture radiating the tenacity of someone ready to delve into a meaningful discussion.Luke was not particularly interested in silver pieces. Most of his time was spent acting and resting. His spare time was consumed by working out and reading, which already taxed him. Besides, silver pieces and similar items did n

Wyneth eyed Luke. "Why do I get the feeling you're not really enjoying this?""Not enjoying?" Yoyo looked puzzled. "Then why would he even come to a barbecue joint?"Luke gave Wyneth a sidelong glance, a thought apparently tickling him enough to draw a chuckle. "Yeah, I guess I'm not really enjoying it. After all, this is a calorie bomb. Why don't you do the honors?" With that, he slid the plate of barbecue in the middle of the table.Wyneth and Yoyo were struck dumb. Wyneth swallowed, her appetite suddenly gone at the sight of the heaping plate of barbeque. Yoyo's eyes, on the other hand, sparkled. "Can I really have it? But, what if my manager...?""If your manager asks, just say it was my treat," Luke said."Really? Can I say that? My manager might think I'm lying since I'd never have a chance to know you."Luke looked at the barbecue plate, then made a decision. "We can exchange phone numbers. Maybe we'll collaborate in the future."'E-Exchange phone numbers?' Yoyo felt like

"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
