Chapter 201

"Okay."By the time they reached the oxcart, Finn was the first to climb aboard. He then extended his hand to Wyneth. "Come on up."Expressionless, Wyneth placed her hand in his, allowing him to help her up. They settled next to each other, their actions as natural as breathing. Finn did not seem to see himself as a top-tier celebrity, and even more startling was Wyneth's placid demeanor. It was as though Finn, the one helping her aboard, was just another ordinary Joe.'What on earth?' thought Giada, 'What happened yesterday that I don't know about before I joined this team?'Lost in her thoughts, she barely noticed Derek leap onto the cart, offering her his hand. "Up you go."Giada bit back her disappointment. She had hoped Finn would be the one to lend her a hand. But he was already seated, so she resigned herself to giving her hand to Derek, taking her place on the oxcart. Since Finn and Wyneth had already claimed the other side, she had no choice but to sit with Derek.Wyneth

Giada was taken aback. "Cook?""Yeah." Finn nodded. "The girls in our group don't have to do the heavy lifting, so you can rest. But you need to help with cooking."Giada was left somewhat bewildered. 'I can't cook. If I could, I wouldn't have been dizzy with hunger yesterday.'Seeing the embarrassment cross Giada's face, Finn asked straightforwardly, "By the look on your face, you can't cook?" Giada instinctively turned to look at Wyneth, about to point out that she was not the only girl in the group. But before she could, Finn said, "Well, if you can't cook, then you should join us in the heavy tasks."Giada was left speechless. She looked at Wyneth, who sat there with her eyes closed. 'So what if I can't cook? Can she? And what's the deal with these two? Why is Finn so good to Wyneth? Is it because she's pretty? Is that why he's so kind to her?' For a moment, Giada felt a touch of disappointment toward Finn. She did not expect a top-tier celebrity to be so superficial.Their ta

"We're just going into the fields to plant, that's all," Wyneth said nonchalantly. "I've read about it, found it intriguing. Just never had the chance.""Really?" Finn asked, taken aback. "You've read about it?""Yeah, I saw some documentaries and was intrigued. Wanted to try it myself." She was already removing her shoes to replace them with the rain boots the crew had provided.Finn looked at her for a long moment, finally capitulating after a few seconds. "Okay, but stay close. Don't fall.""Okay."From a distance, Derek watched Finn standing in the mud, carefully assisting the pretty, delicate girl down. He only let go when he was sure she was stable, yet he continued to caution her with a string of instructions. 'He's a superstar, yet he's going to such lengths for a girl. If this isn't deep affection, I don't know what is. But there's something strange. There's no hint of romance in their eyes or gestures.'Guides were instructing some people nearby. Wyneth listened attenti

Chapter 204

In the elegant, quiet visitor's area of StarCrest Entertainment's headquarters, Dexter had just bid farewell to a guest when a handsome man appeared before him."Dexter, long time no see.""Mr. Silva? What brings you here all of a sudden?"Rio, a good friend of Hayden and Jake, was a frequent visitor during Hayden's sickness."I'm here to call in a favor." Rio beamed, his cheerfulness palpable.'A favor?' Dexter thought, perplexed, 'Since when does Mr. Hamilton owe Rio a favor?'"Where's Hayden?" Rio asked, his eyes already spotting Hayden lounging on a couch inside. With long strides, Rio quickly made his way in.Curious about what favor Rio might need, Dexter decided to stick around.Hayden drained the remaining coffee from his cup. As he glanced up, he saw Rio making himself comfortable on the couch and reaching for the untouched snacks on the table. Given their years of friendship, Hayden was no stranger to Rio's casual demeanor."What brings you here?"Rio smirked, his g

As Rio rose to leave, he threw a flirtatious glance Hayden's way. "Thanks, man."Once he had left, Hayden discreetly pulled out his phone to search for Farm Face-off. After perusing some information, he understood what this Farm Face-off was all about. It was a small variety show that had a few seasons under its belt but had always been just another show. Its popularity, however, had recently spiked due to the involvement of top-tier singer, Finn. The list of other participants had not been officially released yet; they were likely waiting until after filming was completed to reveal the lineup gradually.'Wasn't she filming Le Palais? Why did she join this variety show?' Ever since he had bought that protective charm and had it delivered to her, Hayden had not heard a peep from her. Their interaction had been calm and collected yet left them with nothing more to say. 'I wonder if she feels any better after receiving the charm?'On their way to find the person in charge, Dexter could

Chapter 206

At the variety show, Derek's team had hustled all morning, the trio managing to wrap up their tasks ahead of schedule. As they emerged from the fields, they were all disheveled, covered in sweat and dirt. Despite wearing hats, Wyneth's fair cheeks were sunburned to a rosy hue, and droplets of perspiration traced glistening paths down her temples.Seeing this, Derek fumbled in his pocket to offer her a tissue. Unfortunately, when he pulled it out, it was sodden and grimy.Wyneth's lips twitched at the sight. "You better keep that for yourself."After a silent moment, Derek tucked the grubby tissue back into his pocket. "We've finished our task. Let's head back."During their return, the two men walked in silence, flanking Wyneth on either side. Though inwardly full of reflections, Wyneth waved at the camera. The cameraman quickly stepped forward, shifting to the solo shooting mode they had used earlier. Wyneth showed the camera her dirty hands and pointed out the traces of the day's

His lips curled into a smile. 'This variety show trip has been quite worthwhile.'They returned to their resting place in good spirits. But as soon as they stepped inside, a pungent and offensive smell of something burned assaulted their nostrils. Wyneth's face turned a shade paler. Finn crinkled his nose instinctively, asking, "What's that smell? Is the place on fire?" Derek was speechless. 'Seems like our lunch is off the table today.' While he was contemplating, a sudden clamor erupted from the direction of the kitchen. Quickly, they rushed over, only to encounter Giada screaming and rushing out of the kitchen, almost crashing into Finn's open arms. Finn managed to sidestep just in time."Y-You're back." Giada's face reddened upon seeing the trio. "Lunch isn't ready yet. You might have to wait a little longer."They all turned to look at the kitchen. Or rather, what was left of it. The ingredients and crockery the production team had prepared were largely wasted; burned, chopped

Finn stepped in to start the clean-up, with Wyneth following suit to get a cloth, only to have Derek snatch it up before she could lay a hand on it. The two men wasted no time diving into the kitchen's disarray.Giada stood off to the side, a shocked look plastered across her face. 'Is it my imagination or are these two guys competing to do Wyneth's chores?' she grumbled silently, resentment building. 'Why, though?'Despite the kitchen being attended to, Wyneth was not just standing around idle. She waited until Finn cleared a bit of space, then ventured in to assess the surviving ingredients. 'Due to the weather, we don't store much food, and fresh ingredients are usually just enough for the day. Giada has wasted so much... What's left...' Wyneth mulled over it for a moment before turning to the others. "Ever had aglio e olio? How about we have that for lunch?" The remaining ingredients were hardly enough for a full meal. If they attempted to cook, the resulting portions would be pi

Finn and Derek had already gone outside, and she did not want to stay here anymore."Fine, go ahead."After Giada had left, Wyneth set to work, neatly dicing up the pancetta. She was about to heat up some oil and commence cooking when she noticed some garlic cloves set aside had not been peeled or minced. Closer examination revealed some still ensconced in its papery shell, not at all ready for the pan. A silent sigh passed through her. She collected the garlic without uttering a complaint, dutifully beginning the task of peeling and mincing. It was no issue in her mind; these culinary skills were not innately acquired. They were learned, honed over time. No one springs forth from birth with a chef's knife in hand.Outside, Derek and Finn were chatting. Even though Derek had lost the previous game, he had the audacity to pull out his phone and propose to Finn, "Hey Finn, how about we follow each other on Facebook?"Hearing this, Finn cast him a contemptuous glance."If I remember

By the time the aromatic scent hit, Giada could not help but feel her stomach rumble, and her cheeks heated up in response. But both Finn and Derek seemed to be unconcerned. Neither of them even looked her way. As a result, she felt an unexpected sense of being ignored.When Wyneth brought out the aglio e olio, Giada had to force herself to swallow the saliva that had formed at the smell. 'How could it smell this amazing? It must be an illusion! Why else would I find the aroma of such a common dish so tantalizing?' she thought, as she had always looked down on it before. 'Wyneth must've sneaked in some secret seasoning. It probably won't even taste good.'For hygiene's sake, Wyneth brought the food outside to serve it. The ingredients were scarce, but the spaghetti was abundant. Giada saw the amount Wyneth was serving her and immediately protested, "I-I don't want that much, a little will be enough." At her words, all three of them turned to look at her. Giada laughed awkwardly. "I d
