Chapter 513 Chapter 513 She watched her quietly move her chair and sit closer .
Freya rarely used such a warm , familiar tone when addressing Odalys .
Publicly , she always used a neutral tone , careful to hide their connection as sisters in law .
She cultivated an image of someone without powerful connections , not wanting people to befriend her solely because of her ties to the Stewarts .
Others treated her instinctively because they were unaware of her backing .
Even her agent didnt know she was the Stewarts adopted daughter , let alone that her brother was Percival Many people in the entertainment industry were targeting her and tried to snatch away her opportunities , but Freya would not ask the Stewarts for help because of this .
Her achievements , earned through sheer determination , brought her a sense of fulfillment no one could replicate .
Had she not possessed the capability to survive and thrive , she would have been utterly defeated after the incident .
She needed to cultivate her resilience , not only for self preservation but to create a world where she could stand upright , independent of the Stewart family .
She wasnt impressed by Odalyss skills but by her radiant , sunny energy .
Even when targeted by the powerful Bennett family , Odalys remained unfazed , a resilience that resonated with her she saw a kindred spirit .
Whats wrong ? Noticing the distant look in her eyes .
Odalys Stone wondered what was on her mind .
Freya whispered , When this is all over , you and my brother should have a wedding .
The grandest , most unique wedding anyones ever seen .
She lowered her voice , afraid Percival might hear .
Odalys was taken aback .
Why would you ask that ? The idea of marrying Percival hadnt crossed her mind , especially since she was unsure about their future together .
Their marriage had always been about securing good fortune .
The future of her relationship with Percival was uncertain .
Although they were married , she had deposited his betrothal gifts in the bank .
untouched , so she could return them at any time .
Its obvious he cares about you , but hes struggling to show it.
I keep acting intimately with you on purpose , and he has always been jealous .
Hes inexperienced with love and unsure how to express himself .
Im worried hell lose you .
Hes very respectful of boundaries , but hes also been through a lot lately .
He may seem to have it all , but hes longing for love Apart from Evander and Dorian , no one loves him .
The early death of his father meant he never had the chance to live for himself , burdened with the responsibility of supporting the Stewart family since childhood .
Honestly , I feel concerned for Percival .
I can tell he loves you , Freya said , her sympathy evident .
Hes a good man , like a real brother to me ! Youre so young , yet youre already worrying about other peoples big things , Odalys chuckled and poked her forehead .
Freya nudged Odalyss shoulder playfully .
Im not talking about other people .
Hes my brother , and youre my sister in law .
Come on , just promise me .
Freys pleaded , leaning closer .
She almost pulled Odalys into a hug .
Odalys was a bit taken aback .
Lets eat first , she said , gently pushing her away and picking up some food on her plate .
Turning her head , she discovered a chicken wing and other food in hers .
Percival said , Dont just pile food on her plate , make sure you eat enough Odalys fell silent While Percival discussed business with Stellan , he still remained attentive to her needs , thoughtfully selecting food for her .
He effortlessly balanced his conversations with taking care of her , never showing a sign of being distracted You too , Odalys said .
placing a piece of meat on Percivals plate .
He grunted , then , despite his usual obsession with cleanliness , picked up the meat and ate it Stellan and Francis watched in silence , blinded by the dazzling display of affection .
An hour after their meal , the actors headed directly to the Film Capital They needed to be in makeup and costumes , ready to film in thirty 1/2 9:48 AM c Chapter 513 minutes Odalys and Percival stood there , watching as they walked away .
Are you tired ? I can drive you back , said Percival , turning his gaze back to Odalys , noticing her fatigue .
Odalys nodded , deciding not to push herself .
She needed to go back and rest to conserve her energy because dealing with Franciss matters later that night would likely be draining .
The prolonged tension made her worry she wouldnt be able to handle it .
Okay .
She nodded .
Percival took a detour toward the Stewart residence , driving in silence as Odalys watched the scenery flash by , her eyelids growing heavy .
Noticing Odalys resting her head against the car window , eyes closed , he instinctively eased up on the accelerator , to make her sleep more soundly .
The car parked in the courtyard , but Percival Stewart didnt step out or wake her up .
He rolled down the window for a breeze .
Then , he grabbed the blanket from the back seat , covered her with it , and quietly got out .
Odalys Stones body trembled in her sleep , jolting her awake with a groan .
The blanket slipped from her and fell on her feet .
As she reached down .
she realized she was still in the car .
She must have fallen asleep on the drive back with Percival .
Concerned that waking her would make it hard for her to fall asleep again .
Percival let her sleep in the car , instead of carrying her upstairs when they arrived home .
Percival Odalys pushed open the car door and got out .
Looking up , she saw Percivals tall figure standing beneath a large tree , his black shirt and trousers emphasizing his height .
He was silently observing the soil she had placed there .
Odalys walked towards him .
She stood behind him , and only after a long while did Percival ask , Are you awake ! What are you thinking about ! Odalys walked closer .
She stood beside Percival as he squatted to clear the weeds and leaves from a patch of bare earth .
