Chapter 37 She Was left No Choice!
"Okay. So what kind of film do you think you are acting with my old man?"
Verena frowned and glared at him, while Cole still smiled complacently.
At this moment, Eden walked over and handed them two cups of tepid water. Then he smiled and
asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
"Yes!"
"No!"
Both of them answered differently. Eden frowned when hearing that.
Verena smiled and continued, "Well, we have met before. But we didn't talk at that time."
"Okay, just take some water to warm up your body."
"Thank you." Verena smiled brightly.
All the other female screw members had been staring at Cole for quite a while. Since they noticed that
he finally had time. They all gathered around and hurried forward crazily to ask for his autograph and
taking pictures with him. Cole smiled wryly at Verena and then kept his charming smile on his face
while signing his name for others.
At the same time, there were also a lot of female crew members gathering around Eden to ask for his
autograph and selfies with him as well. They all seemed to be trapped in craze.
Even some of them had been asking him for the home address and identity of Lemuel. Many of them
even set their selfies with Eden as their phone wallpaper.
Verena, who was holding a glass of water, stood aside and watched quietly. For her, it was a dreaming
but unreachable life.
The shooting went on smoothly. As it still snowed heavily, the shooting came to an end at 5:00 PM.
After packing up with her colleagues, Verena then left the shooting site.
The ground was covered by thick snows. Her footstep sounded loud as she stepped on it. She let out a
warm breath on her cold palms and kept walking forward slowly. Suddenly, she fancied wandering on
the snow for a while.
At this moment, a royalblue Porsche stopped beside her and then the window was rolled down.
Eden's warm-looking face reached out of the window, "Come on in!"
Then Cole also rolled down the window, "Hello, evil stepmom!"
Verena glanced at him annoyedly and then smiled at Eden, "There is a bus stop ahead. I can just take
the bus!"
Eden smiled while looking at her, "Okay, bye."
"Bye!" Verena bowed to reply.
As soon as she entered the parlor of the Lawson Mansion, a white Tibetan Mastiff suddenly rushed
over and bit on her jeans to rip it fiercely. She was rendered pale and she didn't dare to nudge a bit. So
she could just stand still while her heart kept beating violently. Sweat welled up on her back.
At this moment, a childish voice sounded, "Roy, come over here!"
Then the mastiff let go of her jeans and rushed back.
When seeing that, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and kept gasping.
As she was once attacked by a dog when she was a kid. She still had a great phobia about dog.
Then Sammy walked out and that mastiff was following behind.
Verena couldn't help swallowing. Sammy threw himself into her arms and said sweetly, "Miss Pretty,
don't be afraid! Roy is loyal to me! He will never attack without my order. He won't bite you."
Verena glanced at that big mastiff, frightened still. But he still stayed beside, looking tender. Then
Verena held Sammy up, relaxed. She smoothed his hairs, "Who came up with his name?"
"Me!" Sammy voice sounded loud. He continued, "I just want to call him Roy!"
Verena smiled and kissed on his forehead gently, "Okay, Sammy, have you finished dinner tonight?"
"Not yet. I am waiting for you!" Sammy let out a bright smile and wrapped around her neck.
"Okay, let me take you for dinner!"
"Yeah!"
When they reached the table, there was only Wilson sitting on the host seat while the others still
remained empty.
Verena just greeted as usual and sat down while hugging Sammy. Then she started to feed him dinner.
The atmosphere fell into silence. Only Sammy sounded while he was chewing. Suddenly, Wilson
uttered, "When are you going to take action?"
Of course Verena could tell what he meant. She replied honestly, "I don't know!"
"You'd better take action as early as you can…" Wilson looked at her, "You know about my physical
situation. I hope that you can marry Lemuel when I am still alive."
Her hands trembled a bit. Then she asked slowly, "What if I can't?"
"Then everything I said last night will all go invalid! You will then be expelled from my family and I will
cut down the financial support for your father!" his voice sounded cold and cruel.
Hearing that, she got still all over. She bit her own lips so hard that it even started to bleed. But she
didn't seem to notice.
"So you don't have much time. Nor should you waste your time. The only thing you should do is to
seize every day you have…"
However, before he could finish, he started to cough fiercely again. The butler stood behind hurried to
pat on his back.
His cough sound was so close to her that she felt like being strangled as he kept on coughing, which
rendered her suffocated.
"Miss Pretty, what are you talking about with daddy?" Sammy raised his head to look at her with his
shining eyes.
Verena smiled bitterly and pointed at the dishes in front of her, "Little Sammy, do you want some tofu or
chicken wings?"
"Tofu!" he pointed with his fair cute finger. Then he saw someone coming in. He hurried to exclaim,
"Lemuel! Welcome back!"
Verena didn't raise her head but to spoon the tofu.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Lemuel didn't greet them. He just glanced at the table coldly and he didn't seem to stop. He then went
straight toward the stairs.
Wilson looked at Verena, who still kept her head down. Wilson sighed and then squinted at Lemuel to
huff sternly, "When are you going to hold your wedding?"
Lemuel stopped and turned around. He rested his arm on the white baluster and sneered, "Are you
being too old to understand my words?"
"I am not that old! Let me ask you again! When are you going to marry Miss Moore?" Wilson tried hard
to suppress his anger and stressed out every single word.
Lemuel loosened his tie and stood with legs crossed. He crossed his arms on his chest and then
looked from above, "You should ask yourself when you are going to marry Miss Moore!"
He even stressed out "Miss Moore" while speaking!
