Wren simply watched as Eric and Emma left. She did not look pleased; she had never expected that Eric would dote on his wife to this extent.
“Wren, your coming days don’t look great,” the old professor scoffed. He was too arrogant to take Eric’s words seriously, “If you don’t teach them properly, this woman might end up destroying the Roborts Family.”
Wren did not respond. Her eyes simply glazed over with an icy coldness.
…
On the way home, Eric scanned Emma up and down; he was afraid that she may have been injured in some way. He had been traumatized by all the previous times that Emma had been schemed against.
“I’m fine,” Emma said as she held onto Eric’s hand, “I’m perfectly fine.”
“In future, if she invites you somewhere that you don’t want to go, regardless of the circumstances, you can directly reject her,” Eric was obviously still upset by the way that the old professor had humiliated Emma.
Emma nodded her head. However, she suddenly remembered the other issue at hand: Wren had tried to find out the gender of her baby. So, she quickly recalled the entire situation to Eric.
After Emma was done, Eric did not respond for quite some time. He simply placed his hand on top of Emma’s protruding belly, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the magical connection bet**en him and his child.
“Noted.”
What he meant by this simple word was that Emma did not need to get involved, he was going to find a capable person to investigate this matter in detail.
“No matter what she wants to do and what she plans to do, you don’t need to be afraid…”
“Have I ever been afraid?” Emma’s l*ps curved slightly as she leaned her head against Eric’s ch*st.
Eric lowered his head. Just as he was about to place a k**s atop her ink-black hair, Emma’s phone interrupted his intended action.
As soon as she noticed that it was a phone call from Lisa, Emma immediately sat up and answered.
It had been a long time since she last saw Lisa, so she wondered how she was doing.
“Emma…” Lisa was cheery as usual. However, she sounded slightly on guard, “Where are you right now? Is Boss there with you?”
“Of course he is,” Emma nodded.
“Great, then I’ll just go ahead with what I want to say. It’s like this, a famous French director is currently in New York auditioning for an oriental actress. It is for a drama that will be produced early next year. Plenty of famous actress are vying for the role. I asked the director’s assistant if it’s OK for you to audition even though you are pregnant and he said he doesn’t mind; it is common for foreign actresses to do that. So, do you want to give it a try? I was too afraid to ask Luke about it, so I directly came to you,” Lisa said quietly into the phone.
“You must have heard how dramas with multiple seasons are in trend right now. So, the popular drama ‘The Headless Doctress’ that everyone has been fighting for a role in, is currently preparing for its third season!”
Emma let out a laugh, “Are you that afraid of Luke?”
“Luke doesn’t want me to affect your pregnancy…but…I think I’m actually your lucky charm. For example, a while ago, if you hadn’t come with me to do a medical exam, you wouldn’t have known that you were pregnant. If you hadn’t known, then you wouldn’t have discovered Elodie’s scheme.”
Taking this into consideration, Lisa was indeed lucky.
“Let me think about it.”
“In that case, I’ll first forward you an email with information regarding the drama, as well as a copy of the script.”
“OK,” Emma nodded with a smile.
Seeing the look on Emma’s face, Eric grabbed the phone from her hand and hugged her tightly, “What trouble is Lisa causing this time?”
“She has helped me obtain a big-name resource. Do you still remember the French drama ‘The Headless Doctress’? The director is currently preparing for season three and he is looking for an oriental actress. So…”
“So you want to give it a try?” Eric raised his brows slightly. “It’s not that you can’t go, but we need to make sure that it will not affect your body. If you need to do any action scenes, then there is no way I will let you go.”
“I’ll get Lisa to forward you some information first. If you allow it, then I’ll go to the audition.”
Audition…
Because of her pregnancy, it had been a long time since she satisfied her craving to act. So, Eric understood how she felt.
“However, mom is not going to be comfortable with this?”
“She was the one that made you feel uncomfortable first.”
Eric’s protectiveness was frightening, but Emma wasn’t going to back down either, “From now on, I will deal with matters like this on my own. I can’t expect my husband to make an appearance every single time. Otherwise, people may misunderstand you.”
Eric held onto Emma’s hand and gently placed a k**s on the back of it, “There are plenty of people that misunderstand me. But, all I need is for my wife to love me and I am satisfied.”
They both doted on each other equally…
This was something that an average couple couldn’t do, because most people were selfish.
For the sake of one’s pride, some people could give up on their lover; for the sake of their career, they could also give up on their lover. Some people were bound to find a plethora of excuses to do something that they knew they were bound to regret for the rest of their lives.
…
Perhaps to create hype, the French director immediately leaked information about Emma attending the auditions as soon as he found out the possibility.
[Rumors abound: Emma to attend auditions. Is she making a comeback?]
[Heavily pregnant, yet attending auditions: Netizens diss Emma for being too reckless]
…
At this moment, the Netizens were amidst heated discussions.
“I just asked a friend for a copy of the drama. I would like to say that the brainless female zombie doctor is very similar to Emma. They are both so cool.”
“Oh God, if we get to see Emma with her hair curled, wearing a leather mini sk**t and holding a gun, how cool would that be.”
“Emma, hurry and audition! You need to secure the role!”
Eric had only just received Lisa’s email. Of course, there was nothing to worry about when it came to a big production like this. But…
…who could guarantee that Emma was going to be 100% safe?
Even though she already had insurance on her legs, it seemed, other parts of her body now needed it too.
“President, my wife has caused you trouble. Initially, the Madam didn’t need to know about this,” Luke said apologetically as he looked at the frustrated exp**ssion on Eric’s face.
“Since it was your wife, what else can I do?” Eric put down the information in his hands and looked at Luke. “Go do some research into the director’s character and habits. I’m sure there will be quite a lot of people attending the auditions, so safety is the main priority.”
“I understand, President.”
“Why don’t we have the date and time of the auditions yet?” Eric fl*pped through the papers, but couldn’t find this important piece of information.
“Lisa is currently asking them for it. She will SMS Emma about it soon,” Luke quickly replied.
“Let’s just leave it at that then.”
“By the way President, I heard that your mother doesn’t like actors.”
Hearing this, Eric lifted his head and looked at Luke intimidatingly, warning him that matters like this had never been of his concern.
Luke was only being nice, so he had no choice but to feel wronged as he left the office.
It was only not long ago that Wren had announced that she didn’t like actors/actresses, yet, rumors were spreading that Emma was about to attend an audition. More importantly, she was auditioning with the child still in her stomach.
So, it was impossible for Wren to maintain her previous kind manners. While Eric wasn’t around, she directly stormed upstairs and knocked on Eric and Emma’s bedroom door.
“Mom…”
Wren stood outside the door with her arms crossed as she showed the entertainment newspaper to Emma, “What’s this about an audition?”
Emma looked at the newspaper and gently nodded her head, “I am currently waiting for the date and time.”
“Are you crazy?” Wren said as she threw the newspaper at Emma’s feet. “Don’t you know that you are almost 7 months pregnant? Why can’t you just conscientiously stay at home and take care of your pregnancy?”
