Chapter 214
Chapter 214
Outside the ward, Yuri and Samuel raised their hands to signal the crew to move, and then called it a day.
“Was everything recorded?” Samuel asked.
Yuri nodded. “Don’t worry!”
The corners of Samuel’s mouth curled into a smile as he instructed his men to wrap up.
This was just the beginning.
She had done something illegal. The law might not be able to punish her now, but her conscience and morality would definitely sanction her!
Justice may be delayed, but not denied.
At Frontier Bay, Rebecca and Jessica joined the crew and were about to get busy.
Sebastian arrived early even if his scene was only to be filmed later. Hence, the director praised him greatly.
Very few young people nowadays were so pragmatic.
Sebastian stood aside and occasionally helped his colleagues.
Those who didn’t know better really liked him. They thought he was sensible and obedient.
However, Sebastian did this only because he was worried about Rebecca. He had to keep an eye on her, or he wouldn’t be at ease.
“Rebecca, drink some water.” Sebastian graciously brought water over.
Rebecca was very uncomfortable. She sat so stiffly that she thought she would choke when she drank water. “Could you stop staring at me? I can’t remember my lines.”
“We can practice acting out the scene with each other,” Sebastian suggested as if he didn’t hear what Rebecca said.
“Act it out? Your scene only comes in next month,” Rebecca refused.
“I don’t care. You can’t practice with Skylar anyway.” Skylar played the male lead in the show. He also won the best male lead in the last film awards. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He was even dubbed as the most popular actor.
Since she joined the crew, Rebecca said that Skylar was her idol and that she liked mature and stable men like
him.
“Huh… mature and stable? She definitely said that on purpose. Is she implying that I’m childish?” Sebastian thought.
“Sebastian, don’t be childish, alright?” Rebecca comforted him in a low voice.
“Who’s being childish? Is Skylar the only one who’s not childish in your eyes?” Sebastian was not appeased but instead became angry. He took advantage of the fact that nobody was around and pinned Rebecca against the
chair.
Rebecca was confused. “Did I say something wrong? Does it hurt his ego that I find him childish?” she thought.
“Have you slept with Skylar?” Sebastian asked through gritted teeth.
“Sebastian!” Rebecca exclaimed in shock and hurriedly covered his mouth. “He’s really like a child, saying whatever he wants,” she thought..
“What kind of person do you think I am?” Rebecca continued unhappily.
“A player,” Sebastian sneered.
“Thank you
compatriots.
for your praise.” Rebecca was quite proud. It was as if she had brought great honor to her female
“Rebecca!” Sebastian was annoyed that she took it as a compliment. “Don’t get too close to Skylar.”
“Why?” Rebecca was confused.
“You are mine now. You’re not allowed to date anyone else.” Sebastian lowered his voice threateningly.
Rebecca sighed helplessly and thought, “Sebbie is too playful and can’t stick to something for long. Let’s just go along with his for now, to avoid running into any trouble. He’ll get tired of playing by himself
soon enough.”
“I get it,” she responded.
Chapter 214.
Seeing Rebecca nod obediently, Sebastian snorted. “Come eat something.”
He had bought some pastries for Rebecca.
Since filming consumed a lot of energy, Rebecca needed to eat more carbohydrates to replenish her energy.
Rebecca’s eyes lit up. “These are from my favorite cake shop! There’s always a long queue.”
Sebastian raised his eyebrows. “If you listen to me from now on, I’ll buy this for you every day.”
Rebecca was exasperated. “Why does he sound like he’s trying to coax an ignorant little girl?” she thought.
Yuri’s house was decked out with decorations. It was livelier than a New Year’s celebration.
The Yancey family and the Turner family had a good relationship. Yuri’s mother, Josephine, and Samuel’s mother, Tania, were best friends.
They both had the same values and views.
When Yuri said that he would bring his girlfriend home, the entire family took the matter very seriously.
As Yuri was an only child, everything his family did revolved around him.
It was Madelyn’s first time visiting. She was very nervous since she was pretending to be Yuri’s girlfriend.
Before getting in the car, Yuri teased Madelyn and said that they could move the visit to another day if she was
afraid.
Madelyn insisted that she was not afraid at all.
She thought, “What’s there to be scared of? It’s not like I’d make an ugly daughter–in–law. Even if I were ugly, I still have to meet my in–laws.”
She took advantage of Yuri before, so of course she had to help him out now.
“Maddy, right? Oh, such a pretty girl,” Josephine exclaimed happily.
A few days ago, Tania was flaunting her future daughter–in–law’s beauty. She muttered a few words about Yuri, hence he decided to tell them that he already had a girlfriend for some time but didn’t bring her home as she was shy.
Madelyn didn’t know how to deal with Yuri’s family’s enthusiasm.
She was stunned from the moment she set foot in their house.
Everyone was so welcoming.
“Maddy, I heard from Yuri that you like sweet and sour ribs,” Josephine said excitedly.
Madelyn looked at Yuri in shock. She didn’t know how to react.
“Look at me, getting so excited. My son worried me greatly when he followed in the Turner family’s son’s footsteps, saying that he didn’t want to get married. So I was overjoyed when he said he got himself a girlfriend, Josephine explained with a smile. “I’ve made sweet and sour ribs just for you,” she continued.
Madelyn looked at Yuri nervously, asking for help with a desperate look in her eyes.
She was really a little scared now. The situation was different from what she thought it would be.
She expected a rich family like Yuri’s to have a lot of rules.
“I thought his mom would definitely dislike me. I expected her to give me a cheque for 750 thousand dollars and tell me to leave her son. Then I would happily accept the cheque and leave. That would’ve been the perfect scenario!” she thought.
However, this situation was not what she had anticipated.
Yuri seemed to have read Madelyn’s thoughts. He smiled but didn’t say anything.
“Thank you, Mrs. Yancey. You’re too kind. I… I’m not picky. I’ll eat anything you make,” Madelyn stammered nervously.
“Come, Maddy. This is Grandma Dahlia.”
Dahlia, Yuri’s grandmother, was still in the pink of health despite being 78 years old. With her fair and rosy complexion, anyone could tell with just a glance that she was a beauty when she was younger.
No wonder it is said that beauty lasts forever.
“Nice to meet you, Grandma Dahlia!” Madelyn greeted sweetly.
“Come closer and let me ake a look at you.” Dahlia spoke happily, her l*ps curling into a smile.
She unclasped a bracelet from her wrist and wanted to give it to Madelyn.
Madelyn was embarrassed and refused the bracelet repeatedly. She looked over at Yuri.
“Grandma gave it to you. Just keep it.”
Madelyn put the bracelet on. She felt guilty when she felt its weight on her wrist.
“Maddy, this is our first time meeting. We have nothing else to give you. Yuri’s dad bought this second– hand stuf when he went to Fruycia last year,” Josephine said as she handed a set of jewelry to Madelyn..
Madelyn was shocked. She didn’t know whether to accept it.
Yuri merely smiled. “It’s for you. What are you looking at me for?”
Madelyn gritted her teeth.
She then thought, “It should be around the same price as on Amazon since it’s second–hand, right? Amazon in Fruycia definitely isn’t cheap, but it shouldn’t be too expensive either, should it? After all, this is only the first time we’ve met.”
Thus, Madelyn accepted the jewelry.
Madelyn, who was sociable, mingled with Dahlia and Josephine after dinner.
Yuri raised his eyebrows. He could barely pull her away even though it was already so late.
Josephine pretended to cry and wanted Madelyn to stay the night, but Yuri disagreed.
In the end, Madelyn had to comfort her by saying that there was no hurry to chat as there were still many more. occasions for them to meet.
It only then did Josephine let them go.
“I can’t tell by looking at you, but you’re very good at making my family happy,” Yuri commented with a smile.
“I had to. Your mother and grandmother seemed to like me.” Madelyn looked at the bracelet around her wrist. “Although, I’m a little embarrassed. How much does the jewelry cost? I’ll buy them some gifts of the same value the next time visit.”
Yuri–laughed. “Are you sure? You’re that rich?”
Madelyn was stunned. “How much do these cost?”
