Chapter 119

Skylar drove over to pick up Steven before heading to the film set. They couldn’t go in because it was sealed off to outsiders.

Skylar tried calling Charles, but he didn’t answer. He wasn’t responding to his WhatsApp messages either.

She asked some of the staff, but nobody seemed to know who Charles was.

Ever since Charles joined the entertainment industry, he would often work as a stunt double and deliver lines for the movie.

They weren’t sure if the staff were just brushing them off. If he was part of the crew, shouldn’t they at least have some idea who he was?

“Don’t worry. Let’s wait for a bit.” Steven tried to comfort Skylar.

Skylar nodded and checked her phone. She scrolled through her messages with Charles from about an

hour ago. She had told him what time she would be there to pick him up, and he agreed to meet her on

time.

Charles was always dependable. So, it was unusual for him to not answer his phone.

“Maybe he was in the middle of delivering lines. It has happened to me before when I tried to reach him.

Let’s just wait,” Steven said, trying to ease Skylar’s worry.

Skylar nodded. “Let’s sit and chat for a while then.”

“By the way, when will I get to meet your husband?” Steven asked. He had been meaning to discuss this.

Skylar had always been dependable. Suddenly, she married someone else and even kept his identity at secret. It made him feel uneasy and worried.

Skylar knew this question would come up. She blinked before answering, “Steven, I promised him I wouldn’t share anything. But don’t you worry, I haven’t been trick

Then, she thought of Annie and continued, “Our marriage probably won’t last long. Something happened recently. We might be getting a divorce soon.”

“A quick marriage and a quick divorce? Do you know what you’re doing?” Steven frowned. He would be stupid if he couldn’t sense there were problems with the marriage.

“I know what I’m doing. It’s probably hard for me to fall in love with anybody else again after the divorce.

“I don’t regret my decision to marry. I’ve grown up and I’ve seen things. I know what I’m doing. Steven, I just need you to support and trust me,” Skylar said.

Since she was planning to divorce Joe, she wanted to keep their marriage a secret as agreed.

Steven frowned after hearing Skylar talking as if she had been through a lot. He felt something bad must have happened when she was with the Williamses.

What happened at the Williamses that changed her?

She w

was loved and cared for by her family members. She was a carefree person, but now she had

changed. Sometimes, they could even see sadness in her eyes.

“I’ll keep it from Mom. But if anything happens, you have to tell me immediately,” Steven insisted

worriedly.

Skylar smiled. “Will do! I’ll start working with Mr. Gardner Senior’s team tomorrow. Steven, look at me. I’m

on my

y way to achieving my dreams. I’m really happy.”

Looking at Skylar, who was determined to go after her dreams, Steven ruffled her hair. “Go for it. You’re

the bravest of us all.”

“Congratulations to the brave Skye!” Charles’s voice came from behind.

They turned to see Charles standing there. Steven immediately switched to his big brother’s tone. “Why didn’t you pick up your phone?”

“Ah, I didn’t notice. They asked me to act in a scene at the very last minute and I couldn’t have my phone with me,” Charles replied casually.

Skylar noticed the wounds on Charles‘ face and the bruises around his eyes. “You’re hurt. How did that happen?“.

Steven also noticed the bruises after Skylar pointed them out. “There’s bleeding under the skin below your eyes. You should get it checked”

Charles was a little evasive and tried to play it down. “It’s nothing. A doctor who was visiting the set said it was nothing serious. It was just a little accident while filming

“It looks worse than it is. You know how it is. Sometimes, things get overlooked when you’re in character.

He quickly changed the topic. “Skye, you’re amazing! I just looked into Mr. Gardner Senior’s team. Apparently, they have super strict requirements. But they offer great benefits. It’s the best team in the

industry.”
