For the first time ever, Everettâs eyes were sore.
âDo you hate me?â he muttered.
âI secretly stalked you like a pervert. I couldnât help but pay attention to your every move.
âDo you feel afraid when you think of me?â
When Ninian heard his words, she frowned slightly. She began to look very serious and stern, as though she had realized the importance of the question.
She tilted her head and asked, âDid you frequently sneak shots of me?â
Everett shook his head.
He had been afraid of disturbing her, so he would just silently watch her from afar. Zayn had hired someone to secretly take the photo to calm him down when he fell sick and mentally collapsed.
At that time, he had ruthlessly taught Zayn a lesson, but in the end, he still failed to destroy the photo.
Therefore , the photo accompanied him year after year, and he never intended to throw it away.
Ninian nodded and further asked, âDid you collect anything from me?â
Everett shook his head.
âDid you disturb me?â
After Everett remained silent, he shook his head.
âDid you hurt me?â
This time, Everett shook his head firmly.
Hurt her? How could he? That would kill him.
Ninian held up her fingers and counted them one by one for him. âLook, firstly, youâve never disturbed my life; secondly, you donât have any strange hobby that disgusts me; thirdly, youâve never hurt me. In fact, youâve even saved me. After listing all of this out, nothing seems to be wrong with you.
âEveryone has someone in their heart. You watched me from afar without disturbing me and secretly protected me. That was gentlemanly and wellâmannered of you.
You carefully protected the beauty of love and never crossed the boundary.
âWhy would you think that I would hate you? Why do you think that youâre as shameful as a pervert?â
Ninian looked at him, and her clear eyes were full of sincerity. She accepted everything about him and also carefully pulled him out of his shell.
Ever since Melody told her about Everettâs mental disease, it had been on her mind.
She truly wanted to understand him slowly and save him.
When Everett saw such a clear, beautiful, gentle, and firm gaze, his heart fluttered.
The scenario that he was afraid of did not happen. His moon used her own light to shine the path before him and chase away the darkness in his heart.
Everett felt his heart tighten. He gently sighed before he walked forward and held her in his arms.
âSilly Ninian, youâre really killing me.â Ninian raised her hand and held his slim but sturdy waist.
She rested her face on his warm and strong chest. âBaby, I hope youâll be more cheerful and confident,â Ninian muttered. âYouâre the one I care about. Youâre the unique person in my heart. No matter what you do, Iâll support and understand you,â she added earnestly.
Everett remained silent for a while and answered in a hoarse voice, âOkay.â
The resting lounge was warm, but it was not as peaceful outside.
Many actors were discussing and gossiping about Ninian being in Everettâs resting lounge.
âEven makeup artists and stylists need to sanitize themself before they enter Everettâs resting lounge, but Ninian just walked in so openly. Mr. Barnes personally led her in too. I donât think their relationship is as simple as it seems.â
âI already guessed it. Donât forget how our former female lead left the team.â.
âNinian looks so innocent and adorable. I didnât expect her to be a scheming person. This is âthe Everettâ! All the female celebrities in the entertainment industry want to be with him! Sheâs just an unknown junior actress who recently joined the industry , yet sheâs gotten together with him! Amazing!â
âItâs not strange. Sheâs too pretty. If I were a man, my heart would flutter for her too. Itâs just a shame that Paul stands no chance now. He has the intention, but she doesnât have the interest. On top of that, sheâs interested in a better man.â
âShh! Lower your voice! Paulâs right there.â
At the side, Paul held his lunch box tightly. He nearly could not retain his warm smile.
Finally, he got up, walked to a corner, and made a call.
âLast time, you told me that you found some information about Ninian Winters. Send it to me. Perhaps we can work together.â
