Chapter 998 – My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Seeing the way that Emma was blaming herself, Eric suddenly felt regret. They should have never had children.

Emma had always viewed Eric and her sons’ lives as more important than her own. So, now that Zichen was hurt, she naturally threw all the blame on herself.

And she was truly frightened.

With this thought, Eric decided to call Lithika and Bertha over, “Mom, Zichen’s been injured, could the two of you take him home and care for him for a little while?”

“What happened?” Bertha quickly asked. “What kind of injury is it? Is it serious?”

“Just come and pick him up.”

“OK, we’ll come to the hospital right away,” Bertha was in a panic after she heard that her grandson was injured, so she immediately dropped everything she was doing and headed to the hospital with Lithika.

“Moms, why are you here?” Emma jumped out of her seat when she saw the two mothers arrive.

“You’re well aware of why we’re here. A friend told me you were at the hospital and that Zichen was injured. That’s why we rushed over here,” Bertha said with a slight sense of blame. “Since Lithika and I have a lot of free time on our hands, leave Zichen with us to take care of. You can leave Zixi with us as well. You can focus on taking care of Yan Er.”

“Mom…”

“What? You don’t think we can handle it?” Bertha acted tough. “It’s decided, just come over once a week to check on them.”

“Xiao Emma, don’t blame your mom for being too harsh, she is honestly doing it for your own good. Look at yourself, Zichen is a young child so it’s normal for him to get injuries, yet you’re so flustered,” Lithika said as she patted Emma on the back of her hand. “You’ve placed too much priority on Eric and the kids, you should think about yourself sometimes.”

“Leave the twins with us, don’t worry.”

“When they’re a little older, you can take them back. Besides, this will save us from running back and forth as well. You can take care of Yan Er. It’s always better for a daughter to stick to her mother.”

“Mom…”

“It’s set, don’t worry, I can guarantee that Zichen’s eye will completely recover!”

Emma could not retaliate, she simply looked at Eric with a rare sense of helplessness. So, Eric patted her on the back of the head, “Trust mom.”

“OK…”

By sending the kids away, Emma didn’t have to see them. If she didn’t see them, then she wouldn’t feel guilty. That was the only way to soothe Eric’s broken heart.

As he looked at his wife’s helpless exp**ssion, Eric felt like his heart was being pierced by needles.

Sometimes, when one loved another deeply, their entire life would be affected by them.

This was because the couple’s impact on each other was too frightening…

Soon, Zichen went in for his first round of treatment. His little eye was covered by a bandage, but he still didn’t cry; it was as though nothing had happened. After the treatment, Lithika and Bertha carried the twins home, leaving Eric to comfort Emma.

No matter how tough she appeared to the public, she was just an average mother.

After returning home, Emma stared at the little beds that belonged to her boys. Did today’s incident mean that she couldn’t take care of her kids properly, even though she appeared so tough?

“Look at how you’re acting right now. How are you supposed to take care of the kids like this? Now that you feel guilty towards Zichen, you’re bound to subconsciously neglect Zixi. Eventually, the kids will sense the unfairness. So, it’s good that they went with our mothers.”

Emma turned around and hugged Eric, “I know you called them to come take the kids…”

Eric froze.

“I also know you were afraid that I’d feel guilty. I don’t know why I’m acting this way. Whenever something involves you or the kids, I can’t help but feel worried.”

“You must be feeling bad too. My level of guilt must be equivalent to your level of self-blame.”

“You should stop spoiling me! I know you have much more on your shoulders and you’re suffering more than I am, yet you never speak about it…”

“I’m used to it,” Eric comforted. “You’re stressing too much. Everything will be fine. Zichen will recover. Trust me, OK?”

At that moment, Emma suddenly felt a rush of courage as she peeked out from Eric’s embrace and said, “I’m fine now.”

“You’re just a silly woman that’s acting tough.”

Eric couldn’t do anything about Emma.

So, to draw her mind away from the incident as quickly as possible, Eric woke up the sleeping Yan Er and encouraged his wife to rediscover her confidence as a mother.

Afterwards, Eric worked late into the night to finalize the script for ‘The Ant Queen 2’ and handed it to Emma the next morning.

“Take a look at this.”

Emma didn’t even get the chance to feel unhappy about the previous night before Eric placed the script for ‘The Ant Queen 2’ in her hands. After that, he headed to Kaleidoscope, where he ended up falling asleep at his office desk.

When Luke walked in and saw Eric sleeping, he did not disturb him. Instead, he snuck out, closed the door and notified the other staff to not go in.

It was obvious who Eric had exhausted himself for.

In this world, there was only Emma!

So, Luke called Emma to check on Eric’s condition, “Madam, did the President stay up last night?”

“What?”

“He’s been sleeping in his office all day. I’ve been too scared to disturb him.”

Emma glanced down at the script in her hands before she realized what was going on. What had Eric done for her this time…?

That night, Eric woke up inside the resting lounge of Kaleidoscope and found Emma sitting at the foot of the bed looking at him with a smile, “You’re finally awake.”

“I didn’t…”

“I told Luke to carry you onto the bed. Even with all that movement, you didn’t wake up,” Emma gave a bitter smile and shook the script in her hand. “For the sake of this, you didn’t sleep all night.”

“It’s not as bad as you think. Have you read through it yet? How was it?” Eric quickly changed the subject. “You said you wanted to incorporate Senior Long’s skills and change the plot to focus on a student and teacher…”

“This script isn’t as important as you. Don’t stress yourself like this again because of me,” Emma said as she stared into Eric’s eyes. “If you get too tired and burn out because of this, what am I supposed to do?”

“I won’t,” Eric guaranteed as he pulled Emma into his arms. “I won’t do this ever again!”

Emma did not continue to nag. Instead, she went home with Eric to prepare dinner and take care of their daughter. Afterwards, the couple sat down on the sofa and began to discuss the plot of ‘The Ant Queen 2’.

“I think the script is almost complete. You just need to add a little something.”

“What do you want me to add?”

“A super antagonist! What do you think about playing an antagonist? I’m sure you’ll be a super sexy antagonist!” Emma replied.

After hearing Emma’s suggestion, Eric wanted to please her, but he also felt a little helpless. Didn’t they agree that he wouldn’t act in the sequel? From the looks of it, Emma had lured him into it again. However, the real issue still lay with their director; they hadn’t officially hired him yet. What was Bai Junye doing?

After the couple discussed a few details, Emma called Bertha to check on Zichen’s condition. Of course, the two mothers took care of him well.

The next day, Emma visited Bai Junye. But, when she arrived at the hospital, she realized he was packing his belongings to leave.

“Have you come to a decision?”

“Life is a but a drop of water in the ocean,” Bai Junye replied. “Thank you for helping me pay off my debt. I will find a way to pay you back.”

“You’re still not planning to sign a contract with me? The script’s already finalized and everything’s ready to go!”

“Now that you mention it, thanks to your invite, my debt collector saw some potential and struck a deal with me. He said that if I can help him film a sci-fi film, he’ll clear all my debts. What do you think?”

Emma was suddenly speechless as she looked at Bai Junye.

“Since all of you have faith in me, I might as well give it a try. Who knows, I might even get famous and surpass you.”

After speaking, Bai Junye picked up his luggage. Just before he left, he leaned into Emma’s ear and whispered, “I hope you find a director that you’re satisfied with.”

In the end, Emma simply watched as Bai Junye left. There was nothing she could do because Bai Junye was an arrogant and unyielding character that couldn’t be controlled. Even after her multiple invites, he was still not interested.

Now that they had gotten to this point, what was she to do?

Soon after, Springfall Film and Television held a p**ss release to announce that they were filming the first film in a sci-fi saga called ‘Parasite’. They revealed that their director was Bai Junye and the protagonist was the international superstar Fan Didan. This p**ss release immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Emma’s success with ‘The Ant Queen’ awoke the domestic market to the lack of sci-fi films produced in the US. So, Springfall decided to feed off this hype by carefully selecting the best screenwriters and actors for their production.

It seemed, the sci-fi market was about to enter a new era.

However, news started spreading that Emma actually invited Bai Junye to direct ‘The Ant Queen 2’ first, but he chose ‘Parasite’ instead. The public did not understand the reason behind his decision.

Wasn’t ‘The Ant Queen’ a better choice?

…

“That Bai Junye doesn’t know what’s good for him. You treated him so nice and Mr. Roborts even spoke to him. He must be blind!” Lisa was furious after seeing the news. “Is there something wrong with his brain?”

“He owes them money, so it makes sense to repay them in this way,” Emma replied. “Besides, it’s his choice, there’s nothing wrong with what he did.”
