Chapter 118

Chapter 118 gh the window. Her desk, specially After coming home, Madeline comfortably settled into her room to read the script. Sunlight spilled through designed by Gavin was placed right by the window. It offered her a relaxing view of the swaying trees outside.

Leaning back in her chair, she looked at the script on her computer. Beside the desk was a mini fridge packed with her favorite drinks, milk, snacks, and ice cream Fake Confessions was a school–themed adapted script It was sweet but clever.

Madeline rested her chin on her palm, contemplating her role was actually pretty good. Her role liked the male lead passionately yet kept her own principles and later had her own romantic storyline.

With her lips pursed, a serious expression settled on Madeline’s fair Face, “Once, 1 followed you like a shadow, but...” She mumbled her lines. Her acting skills were impressive, really getting her into the role. Without noticing, she reached an emotional scene, and her eyes began to redden slightly When Gavin returned, he heard noises coming from Madeline’s bedroom. He held a bouquet of soft pink and purple flowers, knocking on the door. “Maddie, I’m coming in!

Madeline looked sideways at the person in the doorway and quickly put down her pen. “Gavin, you’re finally back,” she said, wiping the tears from the conser of her eye. This part was really sad.

“What’s wrong?” Gavin asked worriedly. “Why are you crying! Did someone pick on you! Last time during dinner, that Mr.

Labiche, I’ve already made sure they won’t bother you again. Is it that lady from the hotel Gavin frowned, his voice becoming colder. He definitely wouldn’t let it go if anyone dared to bully Madeline. “He good. Don’t cry.

Tell me and I’l stand up for you.”

“You got it wrong” Madeline quickly grabbed his sleeve and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears, and her nose was red but her smile was bright and dazzling.

She parsed her lips, pointing at the computer screen. “I’m just looking at a script, rehearsing my lines in advance, and reviewing it. Did you think I was crying because I got bullied?”

Gavin suddenly realized, shaking his head with a laugh. “I heard you talking and thought there was something wrong with you.

As long as you’re not upset, it’s fine. He bent down, wiping the moisture from the corner of Madeline’s eye with his thumb. His gue lingered on her face. But if you get too into acting will it affect your mood“”

Gavin was really concerned about Madeline’s mental state.

Madeline explained with a light laugh of frustration, assuring him that she could distinguish between acting and reality.

After a while, Madeline couldn’t help but complain, “Gavin, I had takeout for breakfast this morning and those sandwiches weren’t even half as good as the ones you make. If you’re not at home, starve”

Madeline used to be okay with some cereal, but with Gavin, the master chef around, she’d gotten a bit picky “Really?” Gavin looked down at Madeline from his height, gently cupping her face. “I was busy with some important stuff yesterday. How about I make something delicious for you tonight”

As he spoke, he took out a bouquet of flowers. “I got these flowers for you. Do you like them?

Madeline took the bouquet, which was wrapped in creamy colored paper. The flowers were pink, with a delicate scent of fresh grass. She gently touched the flowers, admiring their beauty. They were clearly chosen with care. I love them.”

Her eyes sparkled with delight. “Let me put them in a vase.” As she spoke, she troned off in her cute slippers to find a vase in the living room. Gavin leaned against the desk, glancing down at Madeline’s notes, which were fall of character analyses. “Is this for the new drama you’re Weren’t you just an extra last simet And now you’ve got a real role! Maddie, you are amazing!”

filming?

He couldn’t help but sound proud as he grabbed the script and glanced through it. Yet, his frown deepened as he read it. He clicked his tongue in annoyance. “Why is it an unrequited love role” He thought, ‘Are you kidding me? Madeline is pursuing the male lead and not getting him! This script needs to be changed. It requires a complete rewrite. At most, the male lead is supposed to have a thing for Madeline, and she’s not interesind” Marleline renised to her room with the flowers she’d put in a vase, setting the them on her desk cheerfully.

“Malde, the role you’re playing, who’s she chasing after is he impressive?” Gavin a high–rated movies. But since it was Madeline’s role, he was definitely supporting her. No matter what role Madeline played, he would always be asked cautiously. He was not TV dramas, usually preferring Madrine tested herchan in her hand, koking at Gavin without holding back. “The male lead is an esports player, played by Yishannes. He’s the ce Chapter 118 who got me this role.”

When Gavin heard that, his smile disappeared, and he gritted his teeth. He thought, I know Yohannes, that sneaky guy, won’t give up. Having Maddie chase after him in the drama? It’s like revealing his intentions to everyone. He’s so sly. After calming himself down, Gavin decided he couldn’t let Yohannes succeed.

“Here’s an idea,” Gavin said, closing the notebook and sitting next to Madeline. He affectionately held her hand and squeezed her soft fingers. “I’ll invest in a TV series for you, and you can choose whatever you want. Start your career as a lead actress in a major production. How about that?”

Gavin’s smile became even kinder. “I can arrange for some famous stars with good character and excellent acting skills to work with you, putting them in supporting roles.”

“No way!” Madeline refused without thinking, firmly opposing. I’m just a newbie with no fame, not even professionally trained, and you expect the seniors to be supporting roles while I take the lead?”

She blinked, clearly worried. “I can’t even consider trying to gain fans. I’d definitely get criticized harshly. Gavin, stop coming up with such crazy ideas.”

Gavin intentionally praised Madeline, speaking gently, “With how good–looking and incredibly smart you are, there’s no way you should settle for being a supporting character.”

“I don’t agree” Gavin shook his head seriously, his expression stern. “We can’t take that insult.”

Madeline turned her head away, crinkling her nose. “You have to agree anyway.”

Gavin lowered his eyes, showing a bit of helplessness and disappointment. His lips drooped slightly with his handsome eyes full of sadness and worry. He crouched down in front of Madeline, looking up at her and quickly changing tactics.

“I know you have your own opinions,” Gavin said, “but Yohannes has liked you for years and has never gotten over you. If you shoot a romance scene with him. I’m worried he’ll win you over. Gavin’s eyes, usually so charming, were unusually downcast as he sighed, “I knew you would up and eventually leave me. Only a fool like me would believe that sincerity alone could keep you with me forever.”

Gavin had long eyelashes that cast soft shadows under his eyes as he looked down slightly. “I’m just a bookworm, not like Yohannes, who always knows how to make you smile. He’s from showbiz, and his skills surpass mine. Compared to him, I’m nothing, even my way of trying to win you over seeins clumsy.”

“Gavin, don’t think like that,” Madeline quickly reassured him. “I can separate work from personal life. If you’re worried, you can come with me to the set. In my heart, all my siblings are equal. I would never favor one over the others”

Cavin sighed again, feeling a hint of sadness. He thought, I don’t want fairness. I want M notices. I want to be the only one, not just one of the twelve.

Maddie to like me the most. I want to be the first person she
