While they were filming, Luke constantly had a frown on his face and caused her to face difficulties at every turn. She had to give gifts and invite him for meals before he even began to change his impression of her slightly. So, the idea of him actually being interested in her seemed far-fetched."I'm not overthinking. If he wasn't interested in you, why would he WhatsApp me, asking all sorts of questions about you?""People aren't mean, you know. What's wrong with asking about me?" Wyneth sighed, "Come on, it's late. We have filming tomorrow. Let's get some sleep.""Talking for a bit won't affect your sleep. How about we make a bet?"'Not another bet...' Wyneth really did not want to respond."Luke is definitely into you."Wyneth felt that if she did not admit it, Yoyo would probably keep talking, so she nodded and agreed, albeit reluctantly, "Mm-hmm.""You admit it?""Yes, you're right. Let's go to sleep."'Forget it. These two handsome guys like her, and she can be so indi
Wyneth looked at the plentiful food for a moment before realization dawned on her. When Yoyo came out and saw the food on the table, she exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there so much food?"Already seated and sipping her milk, Wyneth shot her a knowing glance. "Shouldn't you be the one to tell me?"Hearing this, Yoyo felt guilty and remained silent, quietly sitting down to eat her breakfast. As a result, breakfast was unusually quiet for Wyneth, which she found enjoyable.Afterward, Wyneth and Yoyo prepared to leave. As they stepped out of their room, they coincidentally ran into Luke and Leo, their neighbor from across the hallway.Spotting Wyneth, Leo immediately greeted both of them, "What a coincidence! You're going out too?"Wyneth nodded. "Yes. Good morning, Luke.""Good morning, Luke," Yoyo also greeted Luke."Good morning." Luke glanced at Wyneth. Without makeup, her face was clean and fair, her hair neatly tied back, and she wore a simple outfit, yet her beauty was undim
Luke was not laughing at Wyneth, but at the male actors who acted like they had never seen a beautiful woman before. However, he now realized that their reactions were justified; she was indeed extraordinarily beautiful.Once they stepped out of the elevator, Luke casually asked, "Need a lift to the set?""No, we're good. Our car is here," Wyneth responded.Understanding he could not press further, Luke simply nodded. "Alright, drive safe. Let me know when you're done for the day.""Will do. I'm heading out now.""Go ahead." Luke watched her get into the car, then turned toward his own. As he walked, Leo, who was trailing behind, casually asked, "So, figured it out overnight?" Luke paused at the question but did not respond, just pursing his lips. Undeterred, Leo continued, "You seem different around Wyneth today." He observed that Luke, while a bit awkward yesterday, appeared much gentler today.Luke shot him a glare. "You seem to have a lot of free time; enough to meddle in my
Yoyo spoke convincingly, so Wyneth did not have any doubts. However, she had a feeling that the chat interface Yoyo was using looked familiar."What's wrong?" Yoyo asked carefully, seeing Wyneth silent. "Is there a problem?"Wyneth shook her head."Oh, okay, that's good," Yoyo said. Relieved that Wyneth did not probe further, Yoyo relaxed. Later, when she checked her phone, she noticed Hayden had not replied. She was puzzled. 'Why hasn't he replied? Is he angry about what I said, or did he not see it? Never mind, as long as I relayed the message, it's up to him to figure out what to do.'Since Yoyo had a few more days of filming left, she went to her own set after dropping Wyneth off. Upon arrival, many people came over to express their concern about the incident the night before."Wyneth, we only found out about what happened last night from the announcement. Are you okay? I heard that a crazy fan sneaked into the makeup room. Did he do anything to you?""It's so infuriating tha
Serena, of course, would not share her thoughts with her simple-minded assistant. She did not want to have to explain everything if the assistant did not understand. It was just too tiring for her. Besides, she was surprised to find out that Wyneth and Hayden had such a big difference; it looked like she could not do much to help.Wyneth had just stepped into the trailer when she ran into Gordon, who was on his way out."Hey, Wyneth! Bruce just sent me to check if you've arrived.""Gordon," Wyneth said, acknowledging him before she walked in.Bruce was in the middle of his breakfast. She quickly noticed he had a piece of whole wheat bread and a cup of black coffee. "Drinking coffee so early isn't good for your stomach," Wyneth said. Bruce paused at her words and then set down his coffee cup. "You should drink milk instead," she added.Gordon, who was right behind her, smiled and said, "Don't make it hard for Bruce; he really doesn't like milk."Wyneth turned to Bruce. "Is that so
After Gordon left, Wyneth could not help but say, "Your manager is pretty funny."Bruce looked at her without any expression. "Yeah? Then you can quit your current agency and join mine."Wyneth's smile disappeared for a second."I can look after you.""Nah, I'm good." Wyneth shook her head. "I feel pretty good right now. And if I came to your agency, Finn might get upset and ask why I'm with you and not him. Then the other brothers..." One by one, they would get really jealous. If she agreed to one, the others would be upset for a long, long time."True." Bruce thought about it, agreed it would be a hassle, and did not bring it up again.He leisurely ate the remaining bread but did not drink any more coffee. Wyneth poured him a cup of water and reminded him a few times. "Don't ignore your diet just because you're young, or you'll have problems when you get older."Hearing her reminders, Bruce suddenly thought of something and asked, "Last night, did you leave in his car?"Wynet
"Did you just finish work?" Luke asked after a moment of silence.Wyneth nodded. "Yeah.""Don't you need to go back to the hotel and pack up?""Pack up?" Wyneth was a bit confused. She thought to herself, 'We're just having a meal. What's there to pack up?' However, she quickly realized that Luke might be reminding her of the silver item she said she would give him last time. It was still at the hotel; she had to go back to get it."Right, I need to go pack up.""Okay."They hung up. Luke had already changed his clothes. After deciding what to do, he suddenly became nervous, looked at himself in the mirror for a moment, and then glanced at Leo next to him. "Does this outfit look okay?"Leo, sitting somewhat numbly beside him, nodded.Luke narrowed his eyes. "What's with that expression? Do you dislike it? Is this outfit not good?"Leo replied, "No, I just—" However, before he could finish, Luke had already turned around and went to change his clothes again. Leo felt emotionall
Wyneth was startled by a pair of eyes that seemed really cold and scary. The faint smile on her lips vanished.'Hayden? How can he be here?' Wyneth had initially thought that one of the two men the restaurant staff mentioned would be a friend of Luke's, but it never crossed her mind that it could be Hayden. 'Do they know each other? Or is there something going on that I don't know about?'While she was thinking, Hayden spoke, "What are you doing standing at the door? Are you coming in?" His voice was much colder than the night before. His furrowed brows showed he was really unhappy.Luke did not seem any happier. He had dressed up nicely, but now he had a grumpy face. Before Wyneth even arrived, the two men already had an altercation, and Luke looked even grumpier when she showed up. After Hayden finished talking, Luke asked, "Did you invite him?"Wyneth was speechless. 'I wouldn't invite trouble for myself,' she thought, feeling confused.Just as she was about to speak, she heard
"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
Everyone rushed to check out Wyneth's Facebook and, sure enough, they saw her admitting to the relationship, along with a freshly taken selfie.At first, Wyneth only wanted to write a post. But after Hayden tasted the joy of going public with their relationship, he suggested taking a wefie for the official announcement. Feeling his excitement, Wyneth agreed. They posted the wefie on Facebook, captioned "Officially Together". Yet, Hayden was not done. He captured another photo, this time holding her hand, eager to share their love with the world.Since Hayden was not a celebrity or idol, he had no fan feelings to fret over. Eager to declare his love, he did not hold back. His photo captured his sharp features and dark, gem-like eyes that shone under the camera lights. The image showcased his palm holding Wyneth's fair, slender hand. Their contrasting hands highlighted his affection, radiating warmly from the photo.After the photo came out, everyone was shocked. This included fans, p
