Wyneth was taken aback and subconsciously tried to withdraw her hand.However, it seemed like Hayden had anticipated that as he tightened his grip on her hand and pressed her fingers against his lips. The hint of amusement in his eyes grew even deeper."You're covering it now, aren't you?"Wyneth hastily pulled her hand away with force.Hayden did not hold onto her wrist anymore this time because his goal was already accomplished.Wyneth glowered at Hayden after breaking free from his grip."You're crazy."Hayden's smile grew even wider."Yeah. Crazily in love with you."Wyneth was speechless.'He's out of his mind.'Wyneth wished she could get out of the car right away.She could not believe Hayden just said that to her.Meanwhile, Yoyo and the driver, who were in the front seats, were utterly dumbfounded.After all, they could never have imagined witnessing this side of Hayden Hamilton. It felt simply unreal.Suddenly, they felt a chilling gaze from behind just as they
Luke went inside the elevator and stood next to Wyneth. He glanced at her with a complex look on his face and nodded."Hey."He looked as aloof as usual.Luke had been having mixed feelings after finding out that Wyneth and Bruce were siblings; unsure of how to face it.However, his complicated emotions disappeared the moment he saw Wyneth stepping out of a Rolls-Royce.It took him several minutes to adjust his emotions before coming after Wyneth.Now, they were in the same elevator."Hello, Ms. Walford," Leo greeted Wyneth after entering the elevator before saying hi to Yoyo.Wyneth responded with a smile."Did you guys just come back from the set?"Leo nodded. "Yeah, you're right. We had a long day today. Ms. Walford, you're in your costume.""Yeah, I only realized it when I left the set.""That's fine. You just have to return it tomorrow."Wyneth and Leo had a casual chat while Luke stood at the side with his gaze constantly fixed on Wyneth.She spoke naturally as if s
'What's going on? Why is she suddenly talking about having a meal and giving gifts? And what does she mean by that?' Luke felt frustrated because Wyneth did not share her feelings after watching the video. Despite this, he quickly agreed to her invitation; after all, it was better to be asked out by her than the other way around.When Luke agreed, Wyneth said, "If you're free, text me, and I'll make a reservation."Luke wanted to nod in agreement, but remembering the car earlier that evening, his expression darkened, and he said, "I'm free tomorrow."Hearing this, Leo, who was standing nearby, could not help but look at Luke. "Luke, tomorrow—"Luke interrupted him coldly, "Tomorrow, okay?"Leo was speechless. 'Forget it, I'm just a small-time assistant. What can I do? I'm helpless.'"Tomorrow, then? I'll check my schedule, and if I can, I'll text you.""Okay," Luke replied.After the conversation, the elevator grew quiet. Nobody spoke, and the others did not dare to say anythin
After Wyneth said "coincidence", Luke responded with a serious expression. "Coincidence? If I knew your room was across from mine, I probably wouldn't have moved here."After hearing this, Leo and Yoyo simultaneously looked at Luke, both thinking the same thing, 'He really knows how to act tough.'Wyneth blinked, not knowing what to say, and wondered, 'Is Luke still mad about the past?'As he noticed her lustrous eyes fixed on him, Luke felt a surge of guilt. Worried that his previous words might have hurt her deeply, he quickly said, "Right? If people knew I moved here after knowing you were here, what would they think?"Hearing this, Wyneth paused for a moment, then nodded. "You're right."At this point, Luke really did not know what to say. They all walked quietly to their own rooms."Well... we're going in now," Wyneth said goodbye to Luke and opened the door.Seeing her leave without any hesitation, Luke called out to her, "Wait.""Yes?"Luke looked at her, struggling to
Luke was momentarily stunned by the words. He pursed his lips, his face turning as dark as storm clouds."So, I think if you haven't thought it through, it's better not to pursue Wyneth now, otherwise, you might end up hurting her," Leo said.Luke glanced at him. "What are you even talking about? Even if I show interest in her, do you think she would be easily influenced by me? Just because I'm willing to pursue her, doesn't mean she feels the same way." He could not shake off the memory of her getting out of that fancy car. He did not know who the owner was, but the car seemed expensive, so the owner must be significant. Her expression as she stepped out was unlike her usual self, so it probably was not one of her brothers.Meanwhile, after Wyneth entered the room, she immediately went to the mirror to take off her costume. Yoyo was behind her, assisting. Wyneth started to remove her eye makeup."You can tell me now, right, Wyneth?"Wyneth paused in her actions. "Tell you what?"
Upon hearing Yoyo's words, Wyneth felt a headache coming and corrected her, "Not 'is'; 'were'."Yoyo, still excited, shrugged. "Whatever, it's all the same."Wyneth could not wrap her head around it. "'Is' and 'were' - they're totally different! One means now, the other means it's over.""So what's going on now? He's not over you, even after the divorce? He wants you back?""I have no clue what's going on in his head." Actually, Wyneth thought they should both move on after the divorce. He should not be trying to see her again. But who knew there were still so many complications after they split up."He must want you back, regretting that you guys split up. Why did you two even break up? Did you just say 'let's break up,' and he was like 'okay'? After splitting up, did he give you a lot of money? He's loaded, so he must've given you a bunch of money, right?"Wyneth looked at Yoyo, who had just promised not to ask anymore, and thought to herself, 'Does she have the memory of a gol
'It's Mr. Hamilton, and Wyneth didn't even save his number! Poor ex-husband!' Yoyo thought, then quickly replied, "M-Mr. Hamilton? I-I am Yoyo. Wyneth is in the shower. She asked me to answer for her."Hearing Yoyo's uncertain tone, Hayden could already tell why she had answered the phone with such confusion. It was not hard to guess that Wyneth probably had not saved his number, so when her roommate answered, she sounded confused. "Okay," Hayden responded. Although he had expected Wyneth would treat him like this, realizing the truth made Hayden's mood inevitably sink. 'She really has been trying hard to distance herself and doesn't want anything to do with me anymore.'Feeling the sadness in his voice, Yoyo felt extremely awkward. She thought, 'Why did I even answer Wyneth's phone? I should've just let it ring.' Since she was not in the position to offend Hayden, Yoyo carefully asked, "Do you need something from Wyneth? Should I pass on a message, or should she call you back later?
Wyneth stepped out of the shower, drying her hair. "Who called?"Feeling guilty about a secret deal she made with Hayden, Yoyo tried to lighten the mood when Wyneth asked who called. "Guess?" Yoyo said.Wyneth picked up her phone to check the call log when Yoyo quickly said, "Actually, it was Mr. Hamilton. I didn't say it straight out because I was afraid you wouldn't be too thrilled."Hearing the surname Hamilton, Wyneth knew who it was without checking. 'Why is he calling again?' she wondered. Seeing Wyneth silent and even stopped scrolling through her phone, Yoyo became scared, pressed her lips together, and hugged her arms. Wyneth waited for a while, but Yoyo did not speak. She glanced at Yoyo. "So, what did he say?"Being asked this way made Yoyo feel even more guilty. "He didn't say anything."However, Wyneth stared at her with suspicion. "That's not right.""What's not right?""You're not right. You usually have a lot of questions. Why don't you have any now? And you're a
