All Chapters of Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton: Chapter 341 - Chapter 350

Upon hearing that, Matilda nodded instantly. "You're right. Go fetch Mr. Zach for me."Soon, Nathan was summoned to Matilda's presence. Standing in the living room, he was somewhat baffled. 'What could Mrs. Hamilton possibly want with me all of a sudden? Could it be some contract that needs drafting?' As he was lost in thought, the maid walked Matilda in."Mr. Zach, you've arrived.""Mrs. Hamilton," Nathan promptly acknowledged with a nod, "What can I do for you?" He had a heap of work awaiting his attention, yet he had been beckoned by Matilda, so he had no choice but to show up."I do have a favor to ask," Matilda said with a smile, pointing to a nearby chair. "Come, have a seat. Let's talk."Nathan wanted to tell her he was busy and needed to get back to work, but he respected Hayden's mother, so he held back and sat down. That's when Matilda spoke again, in a gentle tone, "You see, Mr. Zach, Hayden is a really innocent person. He often gets taken advantage of by mean folks, wi

Wyneth just chuckled and kept her peace. Yoyo knew better than to push, opting instead to divert their course. "Come on, let's go eat and drink downstairs. My treat. Let's have barbecue."As Yoyo pulled her downstairs, Wyneth laughed. "Barbecue? Aren't you afraid your manager will scold you?"Yoyo licked her lips in anticipation. "It's been a long time since I've had a decent meal. I've lost a few pounds lately; a barbecue meal shouldn't hurt."Just as they were about to enter the barbecue restaurant, they bumped into a familiar face: Luke's assistant."Wyneth," Luke's assistant, Leo Foster, lit up when he saw her. "You're here for the barbecue too?""Leo?""Yes, it's me." Leo nodded.Recognizing Leo as Luke's assistant, Yoyo could not help but tease, "Are you here to sneak some food behind Luke's back, or are you buying for him?"Caught in his secret snack mission, Leo had no choice but to pass the blame to Luke. "It's for... for Luke. I've got to run. He's waiting for me back

Wyneth had initially wanted to say hi to Luke, considering he was her senior in the acting circle. But she felt his gaze lightly graze over her before swiftly pulling back and sauntering off to order his food as if he had not seen her. The urge to greet him vanished instantly.'Fair enough, he's Luke after all, top-tier among male actors. He only spoke to me because we were co-stars. Now that filming is over, why would he risk any misunderstandings by chatting to me off set?' she mused, sipping some water.Yoyo kept babbling, "How can he eat such high-calorie food and still maintain such a good figure?"At this, Wyneth shot her a look. "Probably does it like you do.""Huh?""Eats once every few months, then starves for a few more.""Sounds about right." Yoyo broke into a satisfied grin. "Glad I'm not the only one suffering." Then Yoyo looked up to see Luke, having finished ordering, apparently searching for a place to sit. The place was packed, and some actresses at the neighbori

Wyneth eyed Luke. "Why do I get the feeling you're not really enjoying this?""Not enjoying?" Yoyo looked puzzled. "Then why would he even come to a barbecue joint?"Luke gave Wyneth a sidelong glance, a thought apparently tickling him enough to draw a chuckle. "Yeah, I guess I'm not really enjoying it. After all, this is a calorie bomb. Why don't you do the honors?" With that, he slid the plate of barbecue in the middle of the table.Wyneth and Yoyo were struck dumb. Wyneth swallowed, her appetite suddenly gone at the sight of the heaping plate of barbeque. Yoyo's eyes, on the other hand, sparkled. "Can I really have it? But, what if my manager...?""If your manager asks, just say it was my treat," Luke said."Really? Can I say that? My manager might think I'm lying since I'd never have a chance to know you."Luke looked at the barbecue plate, then made a decision. "We can exchange phone numbers. Maybe we'll collaborate in the future."'E-Exchange phone numbers?' Yoyo felt like

"Married for a year and you're asking about when?" came the collective response. Having learned about the situation, Shaun nonchalantly shrugged off the question, addressing the crowd, "Don't sweat it, folks. He's always in his own little world." Shaun had concerns about Luke's personality when he first took him under his wing. He figured if Luke was not more polished in the entertainment circle, he would step on a lot of toes. But his undeniable talent and good looks put others on edge, afraid to offend him.Luke had always marched to the beat of his own drum, and this time, he actually noticed that Wyneth had lost weight. More importantly, he spoke up for her. As Shaun was staring at him unblinkingly, a pillow flew into his face. Luke said with unmistakable disgust, "Quit staring at me like I'm some freak show." His voice brought Shaun back to reality. Shaun swatted away the pillow, then put his hands on his hips, glaring at Luke. "Who gave you the right to fling a pillow in my face
