Chapter 161 Heartache

Joey held out her hand, revealing frostbite on her fingertips. The doctor raised an eyebrow. "Did you spend all day braving the cold outdoors? We've got indoor heating. It really shouldn't look like this.""Yeah, I work outdoors," Joey replied.Zachary, looking serious, asked, "Besides what she suggested, aren't there other solutions? If the job requires being outside, there's gotta be a way to deal with this, right?"Joey glared at him. "My business doesn't concern you!"The doctor jumped in, "He's just looking out for you. Sir, if she's working outside, staying warm is crucial. Treatments won't do much otherwise."Worried, Joey questioned, "What about using a needle? Some crew members use it for frostbite.""Well, it's an option … but not always necessary. Spend a few days indoors, and your cheeks and ears should clear up," the hesitant doctor explained. She was torn between finding them attractive and thinking the guy was intimidating. Joey nodded. Coming out of the phar

Chapter 162 Bear With It

Zachary firmly held onto her foot, glancing up at Joey. "You can't treat your feet like that. They're more sensitive than hands. Let me give you a foot rub."Joey squirmed a bit, making a face. "Let go …"Seated on the couch, Zachary held onto her foot, massaging the swollen areas. His tone was cold."A foot rub will help. Didn't you get warm shoes?""Warm ones don't make a difference," Joey replied.Even with snow boots on, spending the day in the snow often left her feet cold and damp. Zachary remained silent, sternly massaging Joey's feet. After the rub, that annoying itchiness in Joey's feet slowly eased up."How's it feeling?" Zachary asked, his hands a bit sore from massaging for half an hour."It's … not too bad," Joey replied, a bit bashful.Zachary smirked, stretching his hands. "Why don't you go take a bath? I'll head back and drop by later to work on those ears of yours."Joey shook her head."I'm good.""I heard if your ears get frostbitten with that red

Chapter 163 Shattered

Joey wrestled herself free from Zachary's grasp."Even so, we need to consider if the hotel has planted someone to film us secretly," Joey said, glaring at Zachary.Zachary sneered."Are you worried about our relationship going public?""Just like how you hesitated to marry me, I fear people finding out about us," Joey retorted defiantly.Zachary released her, his gaze piercing. "Joey, I just want to know. Is love something you can easily toss aside?"He vividly remembered that Joey had married him out of genuine love."What if I told you I regret falling for you and marrying you? Ever since your grandmother slipped me that drug, I've regretted it. You could drop me for Julia and ditch me for your grandmother. I'm the one you keep letting go," Joey said with a self-deprecating smile.Zachary took a moment of silence, then looked at Joey, saying, "Joey, just think about it from my perspective. Would you walk away from someone who raised you?""So, what's the problem if I deci

Chapter 164 Kenneth

"Cut! Kenneth, seriously, what's wrong with you today? Are you even into this anymore, or are you just messing around?" Cinna yelled for the third time, irritated by Kenneth zoning out again.Kenneth shot Cinna an apologetic look. "Sorry, give me a ten-minute break."He couldn't figure out why Joey gave the gloves he got for her to Eve. Concerned, Cinna approached Kenneth after his brief explanation. "You alright? Not feeling well?""No, I just need a quick breather. I'll be back in ten minutes," Kenneth said calmly, though his emotions were hard to hide.Back in the rest area, he closed his eyes, pondering over Eve's gloves, his breathing a bit unsettled."Get me my phone," he suddenly requested from the assistant nearby, who was busy preparing hot water.He rarely used his phone, especially during filming. The last time he did was because Yolanda had gotten on his nerves. People were slowly making their way back to the truck for a break.Joey was busy picking out clothes f

Chapter 165 What About Me

Eve affectionately rested her head on Joey's shoulder."The swelling's gone. After we finish filming, I plan to visit your studio to customize a dress.""Sure." Joey grinned. Kenneth didn't look too pleased.When Zachary arrived to pick up Joey, he frowned at Kenneth's demeanor. The guy who always kept an eye on Joey, even sneaking glances while jogging, seemed off today.Zachary decided to keep a watchful eye on Kenneth. Shortly after Joey returned to her room, Zachary came in. He had ordered food to be delivered since he found the crew's meals at the hotel particularly unappetizing. He casually plopped down next to Joey, taking her hand in his."I'm preparing some hot water," Joey said, trying to pull her hand away.The frostbite hand she'd needled was less swollen and wasn't particularly itchy. The hot water was mainly for soaking her feet—something she neglected when busy, but sitting down made her uncomfortably aware."I'll handle it. You sit tight," Zachary said, get

Chapter 166 Presumptuous

The next morning, Cinna declared a day off for everyone. Eve eagerly dashed into Joey's room for some juicy gossip."I heard Kenneth was out in the snow last night. He was completely drenched, and his skin turned purple. Mr. Monterey had to drag him back to the hotel, and he was fuming," Eve exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement.Being at that lively age, she discussed these matters with eyes shining brightly."Perhaps that's just part of being an actor," Joey mused, feeling a bit lost. She wasn't entirely sure. Upon hearing this, Eve couldn't help but furrow her brows. "Is it because he has to play a scene where his character dies, so he's torturing himself to get into that heart-wrenching state?"Joey shook her head, savoring the warmth of her coffee. She found solace in not having to shoot that day, lounging on the cozy couch by the French window, enjoying the serene snowfall."Compared to Kenneth, I'm far behind. I need to go," Eve said, immediately standing up.Joey a

Chapter 167 Are You Asleep

Zachary pulled Joey into a hug, resting his chin on her shoulder. "You opening up to me shows you value my opinion. Let's work this out. I messed up and got jealous. I'm sorry. Let's not be upset, okay?"Joey frowned and pushed Zachary away. Without a word, she walked to the bed. Lifting the covers, she lay down, covering her head. "I need to get some sleep. Please, no talking."She had no desire to have a conversation with Zachary. The more she thought about his sweet gestures, the more she forgot where she stood in his heart.Back then, he was stern and straightforward, and she just followed along. Now, because he treated her well, she found herself playing these silly games.Zachary furrowed his brows, took a seat on the couch by the coffee table, and went quiet for a moment. Then, he picked up the pair of gloves, walked to the door, and messaged his assistant to come over.After the assistant arrived, Zachary opened the door and stepped out. The door clicked softly as it c

Chapter168 Kenneth's Alternate Account

Joey had just turned around when Kenneth was heard clearing his throat. He said hoarsely, "Wait."She turned and looked at him. The assistant quickly put his cup down at the wave of his hand. He rushed past Joey. He even closed the door upon exiting the room."I'll pour you some water." Joey walked to the water dispenser. Kenneth watched her. Once she passed him the cup of water, he said, "What's in the container?""Chicken soup. I had the hotel make some for you." She pulled a chair to his bedside before she went to retrieve the container."I'd like to drink it." He coughed after he finished his words. She hummed and sat by his bed. She then opened the container. As he drank his soup, he occasionally muffled his coughs until he felt a little better. He suddenly asked her, "You used the gloves I gave you to butter Eve up. Were you hoping to receive an order?"She had guessed it."No. Why do you ask? Do you believe that I'm that kind of friend?" She looked him in the

Chapter169 Intricate Connections

Joey told the other actors the situation, so everyone decided to stand at a distance to chat. After standing for a moment, Joey's phone rang. It was Zachary. She picked up the call and slowly walked away."What is it?" Her voice was cold."Kenneth's alternate account has been dug up by someone. Does the production team not know about this?" Anger was evident in his voice. She immediately went on alert. "Did something happen?""A few days ago, Eve took a picture of the gloves he bought and posted it on Twitter. Kenneth posted the gloves on his alternate account as well. Can you guess the outcome?" he asked her in return.Netizens would think that they were dating … no, Eve said that she borrowed the gloves from her. There were rumors that she and Kenneth were dating.She had previously been embroiled in dating rumors. If the same thing were to happen this time, Kenneth's fans would rip Emmen to shreds."Are you sure the account belongs to Kenneth?" she asked promptly."Are

Chapter170 I Don’t Have Parents

Everyone knew that Joey and Zachary had a good relationship as cousins. She was the apple of his eye.He was worried she might feel cold, so he spent money to build trailer homes for the production crew. As soon as work starts, the electric heaters in the trailers would start too, warming up the place.She did not think that he would show up. She was a little fed up with him. The production crew members left one by one. They entered the trailer. She sat in her seat and asked, "Aren't you busy with an annual meeting?""I'm done, so I'll accompany you for New Year's Eve." He walked up to her side. Although his tone was casual and gentle, he was secretly observing her. Her expression was indifferent. "It's better if you went home to prevent your Grandma from calling me on New Year's Eve and spoiling my mood."He knew very well that there was nothing wrong with her words."About Kenneth's situation … I don't think it's that simple. Watch out when you are interacting with him on
