Once again, Wyneth's words left Gigi speechless.Her expression froze and the only thing she could do was grit her teeth and say, "You're such a..."Wyneth took a step back and shut the door in a flash before she could finish cursing at her.Bang!The door almost slammed onto Gigi's nose, forcing her to immediately take a few steps back. She breathed heavily as she cursed under her breath."Wyneth, you..."Swoosh!The door next to her opened, and a few actresses came out together from inside.Gigi stopped what she was about to say and forced a sweet smile on her face. The look on her face immediately changed as she turned around and quickly left.The actresses stood there, confused."Gigi? Isn't her room upstairs? What's she doing here?""Hey, have you guys seen the news? She got together with Hayden Hamilton. She's so lucky.""I'm going to be the most jealous person in the world today. Sigh, let's just hurry up and get ready for filming."*Wyneth was supposed to shoot t
Leo, who was attracted by Wyneth's beauty as soon as he saw her, touched his nose awkwardly after hearing what Matthew said. However, he said unashamedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lambert. Wyneth's character is simply too attractive. I couldn't help myself."Everybody else on the set could not hold back their laughter as their gaze wandered back and forth between Leo and Wyneth.'Is Leo interested in Wyneth?' they thought to themselves.Wyneth paused for a moment and quickly regained her composure.Her calm demeanor made Leo feel like she was even more elegant. He openly looked at her and said with a smile, "Give me some time to adjust myself before we reshoot this scene. Mr. Lambert, I promise I'll keep myself under control."Everybody burst out laughing.The heavy atmosphere immediately became less tense.Gigi looked at the charming Wyneth in front of her before shifting her gaze to Leo, who was not bothered to hide his admiration for Wyneth at all. That made her feel like a failure as
Wyneth considered herself a rather adaptable person, so she nodded."I always thought that you were just another rookie, but your acting skills surprised me."The makeup artist who had just finished touching up Wyneth's makeup looked at him. 'It seems like the male lead is trying to start something with Wyneth.'Then, the makeup artist shifted her gaze to Wyneth, who looked nonchalant and disinterested in Leo's attempt to talk to her."I'm undoubtedly just a rookie. My acting skills are fine. I need to practice more.""Where did you..."Leo wanted to ask which school she came from, but his manager called out to him."Leo."Leo put on an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, I have to go now.""It's fine. Go on."Leo's manager dragged him to a corner as soon as he walked over. Then, his manager said in a low voice, "What do you think you're doing? You're a rising star in this industry and everybody has high expectations for you. How could you try to hit on an unknown actress like her?
Besides, they shared the bed with each other the other day, and it probably stimulated his protective instinct as a man.Wyneth figured that he would get his mind straight after a while.Shaun pictured a passionate but rough love, like how an ex-husband rushed to see his ex-wife for the last time in the crematorium and all sorts of dramatic scenes in his head while Wyneth kept quiet.He added after he was done imagining, "May I know why you want to divorce him? I could be wrong, but I feel like Mr. Hamilton still likes you."He began to think that Hayden did not genuinely want to give those flowers to Gigi and that he was only doing that to provoke Wyneth.Otherwise, he would not have taken his time.He figured that Hayden could have just given the divorce agreement to Wyneth if he did not like her.Wyneth was left speechless as she glanced at Shaun."I remember telling you not to talk about this anymore. Why did you bring it up again?"Shaun scratched his head awkwardly. "I'm
Bruce Spencer and Luke Langdon.Both had good looks and excellent acting skills without getting involved in any scandals.Some fans shipped them as a couple, but the rumors of discord between the two crushed their hopes.Besides, they shared very similar styles, which led to conflicts over resources. Their fans would argue with each other very frequently, and their quarrel even got on the trending page just two weeks ago.Wyneth's bestie, Amelia, was the reason why she knew that Luke was Bruce's rival.When the argument became very heated, Amelia told Wyneth that she became Luke's hater, and she even told Wyneth to stay away from him.Wyneth was not interested in fangirling, so she did not take her words seriously.However..."Luke!"Shaun waved at Luke from afar.The man heard it and looked over.When their eyes met, Wyneth noticed that Luke's eyes were very cold and gloomy, and all his feelings were shown on his emotionless, yet handsome face.He was not filming at that t
Love could really make a person do silly things. Fortunately, she had already moved on.[How could they not know that person isn't Gigi? Gigi's figure doesn't even come close to how perfect you look, okay? It's just absurd that they thought that you were Gigi.]Wyneth replied: [It's okay. Stop flattering me.]Amelia: [Fine. Let's talk about something else then. Why did you get back together with him? Didn't you already get a divorce?]Wyneth responded: [Yeah. I wanted to get the divorce agreement from him.][Damn. Rich people are really different, huh? Why do you even have to get the divorce agreement back? How much money did he give you?] Amelia was very curious about that.After all, the Hamilton family was extremely wealthy, and she figured that Wyneth would receive a lot of money after getting a divorce.Even though Wyneth did not need the money.Wyneth slightly lifted her gaze.[I'm getting nothing.][What???]Amelia was shocked by her answer, and she replied with three
'Tsk. Young ladies nowadays are so dishonest.'She wasn't even paying attention, but she claimed that she learned something.'Luke suddenly thought that there was nothing special about Wyneth, but he did not have a good impression of her anyway.Wyneth felt an intense gaze directed at her after her comment earlier.'Did I say something wrong?'"That's good." Shaun did not notice anything, and he even appeared to be pretty happy. "Both of your sets are so close to each other. Wyneth, you can come over and hang out with Luke when you get off work next time."Luke said coldly before Wyneth could speak, "My schedule is very tight. I don't have time."Shaun was speechless.Wyneth kept quiet too.Then, Luke stood up and left before Shaun and Wyneth could get a word out of their mouths. His assistant quickly said goodbye to Shaun and followed him.Other than them, there were other actors in the resting area too. Obviously, all of them heard what Luke said as they looked at Wyneth un
Hayden hung his coat on the rack beside him as soon as he entered the study room. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt before sitting down."I need you to add something in that divorce agreement previously.""Add what?" Nathan was a little surprised. "Mr. Hamilton, what do you want to add? Where should I make the changes?"He reached for the divorce agreement as he opened it and asked.Hayden spoke in a flat tone, "The part about properties."He took out his notebook and gave the note that he wrote on the plane to Nathan as he spoke.Nathan took it and thought to himself, 'Mr. Hamilton probably thinks that he's giving her too many properties, and now he wants some of them back.'That's actually a good decision.'However, when Nathan read what was written on the note, he widened his gaze in disbelief."Mr. Hamilton, are you...?"Hayden looked at him emotionlessly."You have fifteen minutes.""What?""To get the agreement done.""Mr. Hamilton, I'm afr
"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
