“You can go first, Regan. I will talk to your sister when I have time.”
Haris frowned upon the conversation and dragged Regan to the car.
“Keep it in mind!”
“Haris is as calm as always…”
Anna smiled and took Belle’s arm, “Let’s go home, mom!”
Dragged by her own daughter, she couldn’t find the reason to leave even if she wanted to. She had to
be the third wheel and spend time with those two.
Jack sent them back home.
In Anna’s room, Belle found Anna’s pictures from her shooting site and her scripts with notions that she
had read heaps of times. Her heart was filled with grieve and regrets. Her dear daughter had grown up
and had a career she loved.
Anna wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom. She smiled and walked to Belle when she saw
her staring at her pictures.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing. Are you hungry? I will make you a snack."
"You don’t need to do that. Just have some rest. Jack never eats at night." Anna smiled and took
Belle's hands, "Why did you tell Regan that you would talk to me?"
"It's not easy to have something we really like. Besides, Regan's stubborn. Who can stop him from
doing what he wants?"
"I know this circle too well, and that’ why..." Anna stopped on a second thought.
"I understand. But a kid of his age always has to hit a wall to grow up, right? Maybe it’s better to let him
go. It’s not bad if he succeeds without the protection of his family."
Anna smiled, Belle was right about Regan. It was not easy to make him give up. But he can't just come
and go as he pleases in the showbiz. What’s more, who knows whether Josh would allow this or not?
And who was going to inherit the Yan Group?
For now, it was best to let Regan pursue his dreams first. And if worse comes to worst, she could talk
him into going home.
"Alright, I'll talk to Jack. But there are rules in Dahlia, which means he has to be responsible for his
behaviors once he becomes a trainee."
"I think Regan knows that, and he will understand your efforts as a sister."
Belle held her daughter’s hands warmly.
"My daughter has grown up ..."
"No matter how grown up I have, I'm always your child."
Belle never expected that she could get along with her daughter like this. They talked for a long time
until midnight, when Jack knocked on the door. He pushed the door after Anna responded, "It's getting
late. Maybe you can talk tomorrow?"
Anna had so much to say that she didn’t even realize how late it was.
"Just go and rest." Belle smiled.
Anna nodded and got up. Belle watched they leave hand in hand, delighted that her daughter could
find such a caring husband.
"Jack ..."
As soon as they walked up the stairs, Anna stretched out her arms to hug him. She rested her head on
his chest and murmured, "I wouldn’t have persisted to this day without you. And it’s such a happy
ending. Thank you."
"I’ll be there for you no matter what happens. I told you."
And it was his promise, made not on the spur of the moment, but a lifelong one.
Anna looked at him lovingly. As they walked into the bedroom, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed the
man that treated her like a precious treasure.
All was left behind during the sex…
They always see each other as the sexiest one in the world, no matter what happens. There is no
keener affection.
The love between them never worn away because of time or daily trivialities, but became more intense.
"I don't want to be apart from you for a second..."
"We will never be parted!"
Anna wanted to stick with him all the time, before the shooting at least.
……
It was late at night. Jennifer checked the closed door in front of her and walked in with a forced smile.
"I'm home, mom..." she sounded a bit nervous and timid. There was a worried look on her face when
she saw her mother-in-law.
"You should stay home with my mom. I need to go to the office." Her husband took a glance at her and
left with his briefcase without looking back.
Jennifer's heart thudded. She didn’t know how to break down the barrier.
"Sit down. Casper just told me all about the Yans …"
“This is probably not for me to say, but you have made some mistakes, too. At least, you hadn’t take
Casper seriously enough. Josh could have been nicer to you for his grandson’s sake if you had
focused on the household and had a child early.”
Jennifer perceived her implication and smiled awkwardly, “I got it. I will talk to Casper about it. We will
try so that you can have a grandchild soon.”
Her mother-in-law's eyes softened a lot because of her obedience.
"It's getting late. You should go rest."
Child...
That’s right. She needed a child!
Her mother-in-law was right. Josh was ruthless to her, but he would never abandon his own grandchild.
Then there would be a chance for her to stand up.
Experience counts. Her mother-in-law took a longer view than her.
But Jennifer’s mother-in-law’s smile faded after Jennifer went upstairs. Jennifer was the eldest
daughter of the Yan family no matter what. Josh must take her into account in when the day come for
property arrangement, ruthless though he might appear to be. Plus, they had been married for years.
Now the Yans had just got into trouble, and she might be discussed by outsiders for instigating her
son’s divorce.
Thus she would like to see if Jennifer was teachable first…
It was Jennifer fatal weakness that she hadn’t got any chip to arouse Josh’s sense of compassion. But
she could still win if she had a child.
……
Ever since Mary had agreed to help Robert with the play, the two saw each other almost every day and
stayed together for a long time.
For this reason, Mary was very glad that he was about to take a part in. Like always, others could take
in everything in a glance over her face. Robert saw her through immediately. He frowned and queried,
“Is my taking part in that makes you so happy?”
“What? No…” Mary coughed in embarrassment and smiled flatteringly to the icy movie king. “I’m just
afraid that my poor acting skills would affect you.”
“I want to join in as soon as possible, too.” Robert looked away and said drily.
It was a test of patience for him every time he had to be alone with Mary. He had to take great effort to
control himself to keep off her.
Every time he just wanted to pounce on her…
“Just wait two more days, and it won’t be soon.” Mary got up. She wanted to go out for a walk today,
but hesitated when she saw Robert’s arm.
“And…can I leave earlier today?”
