Karina was too stunned to speak.
Meanwhile, Rosalynn remained composed, having learned the truth from Lyndon earlier.
âTilda, youâre amazing.
Iâm so envious that you have such a cute son like Sheldon at your age!â Karina finally said.
There was no judgment in Karinaâs eyes.
Tilda smiled.
âYou donât think my private life is scandalous?â
She had faced criticism for being pregnant before marriage and for keeping the fatherâs identity secret.
Many in Skrixâs upper class would look down on her.
âWhy should I? Everyone has their reasons for their choices.
Who are we to judge? Besides, Sheldon is adorable.
If I had a son like him, I wouldnât care about his father,â Karina said.
Although her words sounded unusual, Rosalynn agreed with her sentiment.
Everyone deserved to live their life without othersâ moral scrutiny.
âNo wonder youâre a famous agent.
You are smart and talkative,â Tilda praised Karina.
Karina chuckled.
âIâm flattered.
â
Despite her curiosity about the childâs father, she refrained from asking.
It was a matter of privacy.
If Tilda wanted to share, she would.
Pressing the issue would only embarrass her.
The three of them changed the topic and chatted casually until the director called out, âOkay, thatâs a wrap!â
With the last scene completed, the entire crew applauded.
Some staff members excitedly tossed their belongings into the air to celebrate the projectâs end.
The film set was filled with laughter and joy.
âRosalynn, Zoe wants to have your autograph,â Kyson said, approaching Rosalynn with Zoe in tow, his smile bright and his demeanor more mature than before-clear evidence of the entertainment industryâs transformative effect.
Rosalynn could see the change in her brother since he started acting.
Turning to Zoe, Rosalynn asked with a warm smile, âYou want my autograph?â
âYes, Rosalynn, would that be okay?â Zoe asked cautiously.
Rosalynn raised an eyebrow.
âIâm not a celebrity.
Why would you want my autograph?â
âNo, Rosalynn, itâs your novels! Several of my classmates adore them.
Theyâre so envious that I get to see you often on set,â Zoe explained eagerly, her large eyes twinkling with excitement.
Rosalynn then realized.
âAh, you want me to sign using my pen name?â
