After her heart stopped for a moment, it pounded quickly.It was Alden!He actually showed up in front of her house.Just as Nerola was about to go over and open the door, she suddenly stopped walking. She lowered her head and sized herself up.Her hair was wet, and she was in a bathrobe as well as slippers. She was not fully dressed, and she looked slovenly.How could she meet him like this?Her face instantly turned red.“Hang… Hang on!” She wore her slippers and tried to change her outfit while she blow-dried her hair. Her room was on the right, while the hair dryer was on the left. After she struggled for a while, she became dizzy.He knocked on the door again, and the faster rhythm indicated the person’s emotions at that moment.Nerola stood still and felt like crying.Fine, she would resign herself to fate and just be.If he wanted to despise her, she could not do anything about it.She had blocked his number and ignored him for so long, so she guessed that she had al
Alden quickly put Nerola on the couch.Then, he checked her foot. When he saw the bloodstain, he frowned and asked in a low voice, “Do you have a first aid kit at home?”“Yes.” Nerola nodded. “It’s under the TV cabinet.”Alden sized his surroundings up before he walked to the TV cabinet and took out the medical box.He took cotton swabs, iodine, band-aids, and gauze. Soon after, he walked back and put the things on the tea table.Next, he bent down to take Nerola’s slippers off.Nerola was shocked, and she instantly moved her leg away. “No… you don’t have to!”“Don’t move.”Alden did not care about her resistance. Instead, he just held her ankle.He took off her slippers, revealing her fair and petite foot. It had a nice shape to it. Her skin was smooth like jelly, and her toes were as fair as jade. Her round toes looked extremely cute together.Alden’s gaze gradually turned dark as he looked at her wound.There was a bump on her skin, and blood was oozing. It looked slightl
She did not intentionally block him.She might have even felt reluctant to block him.This understanding made Alden happier. He slowly cleaned up the first aid kit and washed his hands before he started observing the layout of the place.The apartment was not big, but it was simple and clean. Some home furnishings were neatly arranged in each spot, and it felt very homey.Alden then cast his sight on the wall. There were some framed paintings on it.They were paintings of people, and although the brush strokes were obviously not professional enough, they captured the people’s features and looks well. Hence, they looked lively.“Um… I just drew them for fun.” After Nerola got changed and walked out, she blushed in embarrassment when she saw Alden staring at the paintings on the wall.“These paintings are very spiritual. You can study them further.” Alden turned back. The moment he saw her, he was slightly startled, and a quick glimpse of amazement crossed his eyes.Nerola was we
When Nerola heard that, she raised her head and looked at him. Her charming eyes were filled with awe.It was not a date? So… what was their relationship?A wealthy young man and a celebrity who was his sugar baby?If they could not date, were they just flirting?What did he take her for?Nerola became conflicted, and inexplicable anger slowly filled her heart.However, before she could say anything, she heard the man’s low, husky voice above her head.“Let’s skip the first date,” he said. “We’ll meet my parents directly.”Nerola was speechless.She felt like she was riding on a rollercoaster. Her mood went through ups and downs, preventing her from responding.Meet… Meet his parents?Why did he skip straight to this step?Did he want to bring her to meet his parents, the legendary head and lady of the Winters family?Would they approve of her status? Would they like her?Nerola felt as if she had suddenly fallen into an oven, and she was burning.“Is-Isn’t it too soon?”
Alden raised his hand and surrendered. He took two steps back, but his eyes were filled with delight.Once their misunderstanding was solved, he became more straightforward and braver than anyone else. He did not have to be like George, who carried things and dwelled endlessly, or even thought too much about the relationship from the girl’s perspective and behaved in a way he thought was good for the girl.All Alden wanted to do was be resolute.As long as she did not reject him, he could take one more step forward. As long as she responded, he could even bring her home.He was about to successfully bring Nerola home after meeting her for the third time.By the time he blow-dried Nerola’s hair, it was very late.Alden came from a reputable family, and he was well-mannered. After he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, he said, “Rest early. I’ll go back first.”Nerola sighed in relief.Alden raised his eyebrows before he heard her say, “Hang on!”When Alden looked at her i
Before heading out, Ninian prepared some money for transport.She got into the car of a beautiful and rich lady before she left the high-end housing area. Then, she blended into a crowd, entered a subway station, and soon, she started traveling.‘Daddy might be smart, but he’ll never expect me to take the subway.’When she reached her destination, she took her phone to call Everett. But suddenly, someone snatched her phone from behind.“Huh?!” Ninian shrieked in shock. She turned and was greeted by Everett’s voice.“Shh.” He gestured to her to be quiet as he fiddled with her phone. He disabled its location tracker and signal.Then, he put his arms around her, shielding her from the crowd. They then headed to a more secluded part of the subway to leave the area.Ninian rarely felt this excited in her life. She was exhilarated. Everett took her to a remote alley. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Honey, are we filming a spy war drama?”He looked around, and, after confirming that i
“Ninian, you said you wanted to develop your career, right? Mr. Barnes and I have shortlisted some fairly good movies and TV shows for you to choose from. Do you want to see the list now?” Amber took the initiative and asked Ninian. Ninian put on a serious expression when she heard this. “Yes, please.”Amber and Zayn exchanged glances and got down to business. “So far, we have five scripts, two TV shows, and three movies in mind. These five scripts are very good, be it concerning the production team, the script characters, or the intellectual property work. They are works that will get loads of viewership. In fact, they might even be ranked as the top most-viewed shows of the month.“It’s a literary film directed by a famous director who’s ready to win awards with it. Another one is a cultural drama where most of the veteran actors are involved in it, which is good to increase your career status. There is also a spy war drama, which tests a lot of an actor’s basic acting skills.
With Everett’s approval, Ninian happily went through the script. Amber looked at him resentfully. ‘This young man is not only trying to make Ninian miserable. He’s also making ME miserable! Now, I need to think of backup plans.‘I wonder if the director will approve of this shattering news.’“Don’t worry about the director,” Everett said softly, “I’ll give him a chance to work with me as a deal.”Amber’s eyes lit up when she heard this. ‘Right now, Everett is the combination of a non-conformist and a top-notch actor. Such a dual combination is destined to make him popular. He has long been conferred an idol. He has been breaking new ground in the entertainment industry again and again.‘The director of this spy war drama will definitely take the opportunity to work with me, even if he doesn’t want to work with Ninian. It might be a difficult decision for him, but he’ll accept the offer.‘It’s Everett, after all.’Zayn, who was beside Amber, listened to them. He adjusted his
The screen was full of comments like, “I can’t accept this sadness.”When the host saw the audience overreacting, he smiled to smooth out the situation and said, “Have you forgotten? Ninian just said that she wanted to announce some good news!”His words reminded everyone at the venue.With that, almost everyone held their breath and listened to her.“Everett and I will be holding a wedding soon!”“What?!”“Ah! Awesome! The day has finally come!”“Sob! Ninian and Everett finally have a happy ending! I’m going to cry! They’re my youth! I’ve witnessed love that has gone the distance!”“You have my blessings! You have to be happy for the rest of your lives!”Their cheers grew louder and louder, almost overturning the whole award hall.Everett was standing backstage. When Ninian saw the scene, she turned back, looked into his eyes, and smiled.They were finally getting married.The eighth of September was a good day for their wedding.The headlines in the entertainment section
The Winters family fell silent again.Among the three sisters-in-law, Lana was already so moved that she wept. Raina and Nerola were stronger, but their eyes turned red too.The Winters brothers, who were initially touched, instantly appeared dissatisfied as a result.They were actually moved and crying for other men? Women, you were playing with fire!Naturally, the Winters brothers did not have a chance to vent their anger because Duke had already stood up.He walked to the similarly outstanding young men, who were standing side by side, and patted their shoulders. At this moment, he seemed to age a little. He did not look like the overlord who dominated the business industry in the past.“From now on, I’ll leave my two babies to you.”When Brooklyn and Everett heard this, they were taken aback, but their eyes were soon filled with excitement.Before they could respond, Duke had already walked far away. Meanwhile, Adina got up abruptly to accompany him.She turned back and l
“Uncle Duke,” Brooklyn and Everett greeted Duke at the same time.Brooklyn was older, so he moved a step forward first and said, “Uncle Duke, this is something that I prepared three years ago. All properties under my name, including shares that aren’t limited to the family business, properties, estates, stocks, etc… were transferred to Mel three years ago. Whether in the past or in the future, everything I have, including my life, will belong to her.”Melody was shocked when he said that.All his properties had been transferred to her? He never mentioned anything to her. He just silently gave her everything.“Daddy…” Melody looked at Duke, and her clear gaze was filled with helplessness which was rare.Brooklyn was the only person, other than her family, who was willing to sacrifice everything for her.Such love that was enthusiastic, reserved, hidden, yet deep and long-lasting made her heart seize.George took the documents from Brooklyn and passed them to Duke.Duke flipped t
At the same time, Alden replied to her.“Daddy and Mommy are just in the next city. The journey will take two hours.”Melody was speechless. She was right!There was murderous intent on the indifferent and delicate girl’s face.Good! Great! She wanted to see where her father could hide this time!When Ninian came out after putting her makeup on, it was still early. There were still two hours before the ceremony’s banquet.There was still half an hour left before her father came home. At this time, Melody secretly called Everett and Brooklyn to come over. They were fully prepared, and they just waited for Duke to return home.At the side, George, Raina, Harold, Lana, Alden, and Nerola were watching the show.After the Winters sisters worked hard, the three of their sisters-in-law were successfully bribed to support them to get married as soon as possible.Even the three of their henpecked brothers also took their sides.Now, the Winters siblings had everything ready. They we
Her words were audible in the live stream, and they instantly caused a big fuss.[Ninian has a kid!][Is “the Everett” a dad now?][Sob! I knew that they secretly got married!][How could they not live broadcast my husband and wife’s wedding?]The comments on the screen kept moving, while Ninian was clueless on the other side.She just said, “It’s our baby. Please make the necessary arrangements, thank you.”The comments became more frenzied.[?][!]A series of symbols occupied the whole screen. After Ninian hung up, they were still rolling.The netizens were worked up.By the time the venue’s staff realized this, it had become the top trending topic.[#The Everett and Ninian secretly got married!][#Baby Ninian has a kid!][#The Everett is a father now!]Crazy, screaming fans filled the bottom of the screams.The couple had been together for so long, and the fans had gotten used to them from not accepting them at the beginning.After all, Ninian grew up quickly befo
There was also “as long as a woman had a stable job and strong support from her family, she would be happy and relaxed even if she stayed single for her whole life.”She could go on.Besides, what was more cunning about Duke was that he would never post the quotes using his own account. He would use his wife’s, Adina’s WhatsApp, to post inspirational quotes and links every time.In the beginning, it caused the Winters siblings to panic for a time, and they thought that their mother opposed their marriage.They sighed in relief only after Alden unintentionally hacked his father’s account. He realized that his father had found the posts and forwarded them to his mother before posting them using his mother’s phone.It was fine. It was normal for the father-in-law to trouble his sons-in-law.It was the same theory as the mother-in-law having conflicts with her daughters-in-law.However, the roles changed in their family. It was the father who was being antagonistic toward the daught
Reverie’s smile was sincere and genuine.She initially helped Ninian only because she thought that Ninian was great. Besides, Ninian said she wanted to rely on herself before the casting, which also impressed and moved her.Unexpectedly, she gave herself an opportunity with her unintentional act. That made Reverie feel blessed and surprised.Hearing what she said, Ninian felt warm and comforted.Everyone thought that the entertainment industry was filthy and full of schemes.In reality, there were many people who pursued their dreams and worked very hard there. There were also many people who helped and supported each other.When there were people, there would be competition, but there would also be warmth and sincerity.Ninian filmed her scenes in an orderly manner.As for the Winters siblings, their relationships also developed smoothly.George had happily begun preparing for his wedding. Raina was not a pretentious person either, and the couple had discussions about how the
However, to the surprise of those haters, Ninian, who was acting for the first time, not only did not drop the ball on any of her performances in the Oscar-level mission, but she also managed to portray her own charm and personality in the character very well.From her gentleness and firmness at the start to the grandeur during the protest to her enthusiasm and passion even when captured by the enemy and taken to the execution ground, her character arc represented the experiences of countless revolutionary predecessors.She had absorbed the spirits of many ancestors into her body. Seeing her alone demonstrated the bravery and unstoppable power of Cairnstan’s youth.Before she was executed, she looked at the rising sun and showed a gentle and firm smile.In the end, gunshots rang out, and her body dropped to the ground. However, the sun rose all the way and illuminated the earth.Numerous people were moved and went wild at the scene where she smiled. It was not until everyone’s e
“What? What turn of events?” Nilson immediately asked. “We have defenders!”“Defenders? What defenders? Are you talking about soccer now?” With wide eyes, Nilson asked.“No, not those types of defenders! What I mean is that someone stepped in and is explaining on Ms. Winters’ behalf! But it’s not one of our people. It’s defenders from outside!” explained the staff. “What?” Nilson immediately stood up. “Let me see!”The staff quickly handed the phone over to him, and the website page on the screen kept on refreshing. [@ActressReverieWood: “I’ve worked with the Winters family’s little princess before. She has a lovely personality. She’s soft-spoken and well-behaved, and she has no temper at all. What surprised me the most was her acting skills. She was a rookie who was full of presence, and she could easily blend into the concept. Most actors, including myself, admire someone as talented as her.]A few short clips were attached under the tweet, all of which were from the show,
