Chapter 98: Stay by Your Side with Three Meals in Four Seasons
Kristen was flattered. “Really? Grandpa, do you also think I’m a good actor?”
“Of course, my granddaughter is good at acting. But honey, when will you return to Tornzia? You still need to take over such a big business.”
Kristen was put in a difficult position at the mention of this.
She didn’t want to go back at all now. She just wanted to play her role well and strive to become a movie queen.
“Grandpa, aren’t there still brothers at home?”
Mr. Old Oliver quickly said, “How can they compare with you? You are the apple of the Oliver family’s eye. How can they compare with you?”
Kristen smiled and said, “Grandpa, didn’t we say that there is still half a year left? When the time comes, if I haven’t got a movie queen yet, I will go home obediently.”
“Okay, that’s what you said.”
Kristen nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I keep my word.”
“Well, as long as it’s something you like, Grandpa will support you, but as an actress..” Mr. Old Oliver’s voice sounded melancholic, more or less.
How could Kristen not understand?
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I just want to fulfill my mother’s last wish…”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Mr. Old Oliver took a deep breath. So many years had passed, and he didn’t want to talk about it anymore.
“Okay, I support you. But I also hope you can go home soon.”
Hanging up, Kristen felt inexplicably sad. She had been in Nangania for more than a year and a half. She had been with Ethan for a year and a half, which meant they only had half a year left.
Thinking that they would become strangers in half a year, Kristen felt a little reluctant to leave.
“What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?” A familiar male voice rang out in her ear, pulling Kristen back from her thoughts. Kristen turned around and saw that Ethan was standing behind her.
“Why are you here?”
Ethan walked in front of her and took her script from her hands. He asked, “How does this play feel?”
Kristen said, “Not bad. This role is very lively. It’s not only true love and friendship but also shows strong care for family and country.”
Ethan raised his eyes and looked at her. “I think this role suits you very well. I believe you can play her perfectly.”
“You trust me that much?” Kristen asked.
Ethan nodded and said, “I do.”
Kristen checked the time. “It’s getting late. What would you like for dinner?”
Ethan said, “Go ahead, I’ll take your pick.”
For a moment, Kristen felt conflicted. In the end, she looked at the high-class restaurant and found it pretty good.
“Let’s go have a buffet.”
Ethan nodded in agreement, “Alright.”
The two went out together and appeared in the TNK Group naturally. Everyone in the company saw this scene and pretended not to see anything.
However, Kristen didn’t know that that night, a commercial piece of news came out that the Collins Group had declared bankruptcy.
Steve took his parents to settle all their assets and finally auctioned off their current residence to pay off all their debts. However, at this moment, they had nothing like stray dogs.
Mrs. Collins held a suitcase in her hand and looked at the closed door of her closed house in the court.
She could not believe that things would turn out this way. She held Mr. Collins’s hand and questioned him repeatedly, “Why did it become like this? How could that bastard child leave no room for a maneuver like this? Does he still think highly of you?”
Mr. Collins was silent with a dark expression.
“How dare you say that? If you hadn’t done those things to her that year, he wouldn’t have retaliated against you.”
Lilac Collins did not realize this at all. She pushed the blame onto her husband and said, “Is this my fault? You messed around outside and created such a bastard…”
“Enough.” Mr. Collins had had enough of her.
“If you speak any more, then we’ll divorce,” Lilac Collins was shocked.
She looked at Mr. Collins in disbelief. “Are you saying you want to divorce me? How dare you!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? I’ve had enough of it for so many years. Don’t be too arrogant…”
“Me? Self-righteous? I think you’re ungrateful.”
Looking at the two quarreling people, Steve silently clenched his fists. The initiator of all this was Ethan. He would never let him go. He would make Ethan pay the price.
Since you hurt my family, I would torture the people you care about.
“Enough, Mom and Dad. Stop arguing.” Steve stepped forward to mediate. However, Mr. Collins had already made up his mind. After so many years of endurance, he could not take it anymore.
“This marriage must be divorced.”
“If that’s what you want, then let’s do it. Anyone who doesn’t agree is a coward.”
When Steve saw this, he dropped the matter.
“You guys keep arguing. I’m leaving.” With that, Steve drove off. He drove alone to Ethan’s villa and parked the car at a corner not far away. After waiting for a long time, he finally saw the familiar Rolls-Royce.
The car stopped steadily in the yard, and Ethan and Kristen walked in, talking and laughing. This scene was extremely eye-catching in Steve’s eyes.
Why did his entire family end up like a stray dog?
However, Ethan could still live a peaceful life with the woman he loved.
On what basis?
Steve clenched the steering wheel silently, took out his phone, and made a call.
“Do me a favor…”
…
Kristen and Ethan ate together and returned home. The two of them were like an ordinary couple. For some reason, Kristen felt that this kind of life was unreal.
Lying in Ethan’s arms, she asked, “Mr. Wharton, do you know what my dream was when I was a child?”
Ethan asked, “What is it?”
Kristen replied, “I want to stay by my lover’s side with three meals in four seasons.”
Ethan savored it carefully before asking, “Just this small request?”
Kristen nodded gently and said, “It doesn’t seem simple, but it’s quite difficult to do.”
However, Ethan said, “As long as you want to, we can…”
Kristen said nothing because she knew they couldn’t live like this.
The contract between the two had long since been tightly bound together.
The next day, Kristen got up early. After freshening up, she changed her clothes and went out. Anna was already waiting at the door.
“Good morning, Miss Oliver.”
Kristen smiled and replied, “Morning, Anna.”
Immediately after, Kristen got in the car. Anna told her some work arrangements. Kristen listened carefully. She opened her mobile phone and refreshed the entertainment news as she listened. However, at this moment, the car suddenly braked.
