“He told me about it before. I love being on the island. In fact, the wedding planners have gone over to set up the venue.”
Beside them, Elliot and Nigel were talking about the guests they had to invite. In fact, Nigel’s parents would send the invitation cards to their relatives, and he would phone his friends to inform them about it.
There was a lot to talk about regarding the wedding, and they had fun chatting with each other.
Queenie could feel that the Presgraves were all kind and considerate people. Willow and Jared were good-looking and obedient. On the other hand, Elliot seemed like a responsible husband and father who took good care of his wife and children. Queenie couldn’t help but envision herself taking care of her future kids after she married Nigel.
While Elliot was patiently feeding food to his daughter, Anastasia and Queenie started talking about jewelry. Anastasia taught her how to select and identify real gems while Queenie learned everything that she could from her attentively.
After they were done with the meal, the men amused the kids while Anastasia took Queenie’s hand and sat down on the couch. She passed her the gift she had prepared for her. “Queenie, it’s my first time seeing you, so I’ve prepared a gift for you. I hope you’ll like it.”
Queenie opened the box and realized that it was a set of fine jewelry. The accessories were stunning.
“It’s too expensive, Anastasia.”
“You’re getting married, so you’ll need these accessories. They’ll match your evening gown perfectly.” The jewelry Anastasia gave her was costly, and she had designed them herself.
“Anastasia designed them herself. Just accept her gift,” Elliot said with a smile.
At that instant, Queenie felt that the gift was profoundly meaningful, so she unwittingly clenched them tightly. “Thanks, Anastasia. I’ll be sure to treasure your gift.”
“I’m glad that you like it. Visit us frequently and have a chat with us. We can also go out for a cup of coffee or an afternoon tea,” Anastasia said gently.
Moved by the woman’s hospitality, Queenie nodded. “Alright, Anastasia. I still have a lot to learn from you.”
“Sure. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just reach out to me,” Anastasia replied with a smile.
After dinner ended, Elliot and his family members went to a nearby shopping mall while Nigel and Queenie went home to get some rest.
In the shopping mall, Elliot was walking around with his daughter in his arms, and they attracted a lot of attention. The little one loved being in a shopping mall. While in her father’s arms, she couldn’t stop looking around.
Meanwhile, Anastasia followed behind them while holding her son’s hand, and several bodyguards accompanied the family until they went home at about 9.00PM.
Willow fell asleep an hour later after being exhausted from playing all day. Right after Anastasia was done showering, she received a message on her phone.
When she saw the picture of a hooked finger on the screen, she realized what that man wanted to do.
She wrote in an attempt to annoy him, ‘Good night. I’m tired.’
‘Don’t be naughty. Come over here.’ The man started coaxing her.
‘No.’
‘If you disappoint me, the consequences will be dreadful,’ the man pressed.
The man resorted to using the carrot-and-stick trick to get intimate with her. Therefore, Anastasia stopped teasing him. Before that, she went to her son’s room and made sure that he was asleep.
This was the daily life of a married couple. Only when the kids were asleep could they have their private time.
The moment Anastasia knocked on the door of the room on the fourth floor, she was pulled into the bedroom by the man. The light was dim, and the man’s passionate kisses landed on her.
Although they had been married for a while, she would still feel a tremor quaking through her whenever they kissed, for the man became increasingly charming as he aged. On the other hand, she could no longer imagine a life without him.
“Hurry up. I’m worried that the kids will wake up.”
“I’m sure they’ll sleep through the night.”
“No more than one hour, please.”
“You’re underestimating me, sweetheart.”
Anastasia was rendered speechless.
Three days later, Jessie, the female lead, went to the company for a photoshoot. Vincent personally came over to watch her try on the costumes.
Jessie had arrived pretty early on to have her makeup done. Through the mirror, she could see that the makeup artist was gently putting on a wig over her head. The wig perfectly matched her hair, which was styled into a graceful hairstyle. Her long hair was at her waist, and she still looked alluring even without her bangs. She could easily pass off as someone much younger.
After getting her makeup done, Jessie had some help putting on a traditional dress meticulously. There was a total of five sets of costumes, which depicted the story of the female lead turning from a naive young girl into a heroine who would save the world.
It wasn’t until the evening that she was done trying on five sets of clothes. Other actresses would’ve started whining long ago, but Jessie never complained about it. Regardless of how laborious the process was, she remained seated for a long time and let the makeup artists do their job.
Therefore, all the staff members had a good impression of her. When they learned that they had to work with a rising actress, they were initially worried that she would be difficult to deal with.
It never crossed their minds that not only was she approachable, but she had also bought them snacks. She was friendly whenever she talked to them, and there was no denying that she was a down-to-earth person.
Vincent was seated beside the photo editor as he observed Jessie through the lens. He was increasingly confident that Jessie was the female lead he had been looking for.
“Get the photos edited by tonight and post them on our social media accounts by 8.00AM tomorrow. We’ll officially introduce Jessie to the media,” Vincent ordered.
It was already 9.00PM when Jessie left the company. As she sat inside the car, she looked out at the busy street. Although she was exhausted, she was content.
Just then, Jessie received a message on her phone. The moment she picked up her phone, her lips twisted into a smile as her eyes tinged with joy. It was Julian.
‘Are you done with the photoshoot? Are you heading home?’ he asked caringly.
‘Yes, I’m done with it. I’m going home right now,’ Jessie replied.
‘Get some rest when you reach home. The opening ceremony will be held soon.’
“I will. You should get some rest as well,’ Jessie replied considerately.
The opening ceremony would take place in three days, and she would be busy starring in the movie. Apart from acting, she looked forward to spending most of her time with Julian on set.
By then, they would be living in the same place. During their spare time, they could read their scripts together. They might also have to work together until the middle of the night. All in all, she could do many things with him.
The next morning, Jessie’s photos were posted on various social media pages. Her fans started praising her as they looked forward to watching the movie in cinemas, especially when the movie had been adapted from their favorite story.
While Jessie was swamped with work, Queenie was busy preparing for her wedding. Indeed, their lives were fulfilling.
