Chapter 3
No wonder he rushed over to the show today and almost arrived late.
Using the company meeting as the excuse of delaying the show, it turned out that he went to accompany Laurent.
In the more than ten years we had been together, Arnold had never lied to me.
However, after having a relationship with that woman, it was his countless lie.
I scrolled up the chat history only to find out that they were in contact every day.
[Honey, I miss you so much.]
[Body misses, or heart misses?]
[Both miss you.]
[This young pregnant woman is still restless, wait for me to go back and satisfy you.]
The Arnold in front of me had always been a dignified and restrained person, but now his blatant flirting made me unfamiliar.
It turned out that every time he excused himself for being busy with work and not contacting me, he was having a hot fight with Laurent.
Scrolling it up again, the chat history stopped at the time when I got injured during the filming two months ago.
[It's so boring to be a bedmate in the hospital. What are you doing?]
[Trying on new clothes.]
[Send it to me so I can see if it's good or not.]
In the photo, it was a picture of Laurent wearing a nurse's uniform erotic lingerie.
[You're seducing me again.]
[You just said you seduced me ... 8-month-old pregnant woman, want to taste it~]
The chat history came to an end abruptly.
But I remembered that day, Arnold said that there was something going on at the company, so he left me, his girlfriend, who had a leg injury and could not get out of the bed alone in the hospital.
It turned out that he was in a hurry to find Laurent to vent his sexual desire.
I looked at Arnold's blurry figure in the bathroom and laughed at myself.
That time on the set, I could barely convince myself based on my impulse, but what about this time?
Arnold, in fact, every time, you were willing and proactive.
Then I searched and clicked on Laurent's social media account.
The top posts were all recent photos of Arnold and her.
A passionate kiss on the beach, an intimate photo of the family of three and Arnold holding her sleeping side face.
Seeing how deep and close their relationship was, I felt like I was suffocating.
If he was forced to keep the child in the beginning, then what did his companionship and concern for Laurent mean now?
The sound of water running in the bathroom stopped, so I put his mobile phone back in its original position.
The movie was still being filmed and as the male and female protagonists, Arnold and I could not make any mistakes at this time.
Now was not the time for a showdown.
Ten minutes later, the hormonal scent of shower gel swept over my body.
I turned around and pushed him away. "I'm tired today."
"Okay, let's do it another day."
I took a deep breath and tried my best to ignore the existence of the man beside me.
I stared at the ceiling and could not sleep the whole night.
'Arnold Finch ... you really do not deserve my forgiveness.'
'Bear with it a little longer. Once this movie was finished, I can completely leave you.'
The next day, Arnold and I went to the set together.
Laurent, who had already changed her clothes, was waiting for the shooting to start.
It was the scene where Laurent, as a stunt double, took the slap for me.
"No, do it again."
"How the fuck do you act? You have to be pitiful but a little stubborn. Do you fucking understand? Who are you staring at with those dead fish eyes, huh?"
"Retake!"
"Retake!"
"Retake!"
Listening to the director's scolding, Arnold held my hand tighter and tighter.
When the assistant director shouted for the 7th retake, a hint of coldness flashed in Arnold's eyes and he finally could not help but strode over.
"Filming is filming, you put your mouth cleaner, let me hear you curse again, pack up and get out before it's too late!"
Chapter 4
Arnold's sudden outburst of anger left the director's team puzzled.
They did not understand why the dignified and restrained man, who always had only Yvette Cuthberth in his eyes, would get so angry at him for a little stunt double.
The assistant director had no choice but to apologize for his mistake.
The entire crew was in an uproar and everyone was whispering.
"What's wrong with him today? He got angry because of a stunt double."
"Yes, he never cares about such things."
"That's strange."
I was in front of the car, listening to the crew's comments, but my gaze had always been fixed on Arnold.
He seemed to have completely ignored my presence and coldly pulled Laurent's arm.
Then he suddenly stopped and his expression became even darker in an instant.
"The logistics team and the props team leaders, come over here!"
"Is this the costume you prepared for the actress? It's minus 12 degrees Celsius and it's so thin, how are you going to let her wear it?"
"Didn't you see that her hands were all blue from the cold? Everyone in the logistics and props teams clearly embezzled the crew's funds, so please pack your bags and get out!"
As soon as the words fell, most of the crew members changed their expressions.
He took off his coat and wrapped it around her with heartache.
Laurent, who was tightly held in his arms, turned her head and looked at me provocatively.
Arnold turned around and left with her, but suddenly he met my gaze and his angry face froze in an instant.
Without waiting for him to explain, I walked straight onto the RV and instructed the driver to go home.
Anyway, judging from the situation, we could not shoot this scene today.
The RV was stopped by Arnold halfway.
He quickly got into the car, hugged me and explained with a soft and a bit worried voice. "Yvette, don't misunderstand. She's your stunt double and I feel sorry for you wearing thin clothes in such a cold weather to film. Don't think too much ...."
Listening to his clumsy lies, I sneered in my heart.
I resisted the urge to push him away and said patiently, "So you were standing up for me. I misunderstood."
The man then breathed a sigh of relief, closed the car door and leaned over to kiss me lightly.
At this moment, the assistant called, "Mr. Finch, would you like to attend the birthday party of the CEO of Mango Pictures tomorrow evening?"
"Go ahead. Prepare a set of man's suit and two sets of women's dresses!"
"By the way, bring the Chanel haute couture dinner dress I prepared specifically for Yvette."
"Two sets?" The assistant on the other end of the phone could not help but ask one more question.
"What nonsense, just hurry up and do it."
Looking at my calm gaze, he spoke up, "Today, the assistant director bullied her because she was a small actress. Bring her to the birthday party to brush up her face and no one will dare to bully her in the future."
Uncontrollable concern in front of me, false lies and poor acting skills.
Everything showed me that he cared about Laurent, very much.
The dress was quickly brought by the assistant and Laurent also came with it.
As soon as I walked in, she smiled at me sweetly and called out. "Yvette."
She was very familiar with the movement of changing shoes and it seemed that this was not her first time.
Trying on the dress, Laurent clearly liked the haute couture set Arnold prepared for me.
"Yvette, this outfit looks great on you. I wonder how it would look on me."
Arnold's heart moved and said, "Yvette, just give this dress to her. You have a better figure anyway, so you look good in anything."
I did not argue and nodded in agreement.
I did even want him anymore, why bother arguing about a dress?
Chapter 5
When Laurent changed into my dress and walked into the waiting room, a glimmer of light flashed in Arnold's eyes.
"It's good on you," he said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Laurent lightly tied up her hair and curled her lips with an imperceptible provocation. "Then what if I am compare to Yvette?"
Hearing this, Arnold gave her a deep glare.
Then he took my hand and said gently, "Of course my Yvette is the most beautiful."
As if dissatisfied with his complimenting me on my beautiful looks, she stomped her feet, turned around and snorted at him.
During the party, she was throwing tantrums because he said that I was the most beautiful.
Arnold did not coax her either and spent the whole night socializing.
Until she was approached by someone.
Laurent deliberately drank a glass of wine with the big-bellied man, Denzel Lohan.
Glancing sideways, I saw Arnold, who was talking to someone, suddenly had a dark face.
A tall figure stood in front of Laurent, his tone was cold.
"This is the person I brought with me. What do you want to do, Mr. Lohan?"
When he saw that the person coming was Arnold, he sobered up instantly and left after apologizing repeatedly.
Arnold frowned and was about to scold the girl, but she ran away in tears.
Ignoring me standing aside, he hurriedly followed up.
The garden was quiet, so quiet that I could hear Laurent choking sobs.
"Why are you chasing after me? You love Yvette more anyway. So what if I drink with other men!"
Looking at the girl in front of him who was still in a bad mood, Arnold gritted his teeth.
"You are my girl, who allowed you to drink with other men?"
Hearing these words, I found myself amused, but my hands could not help but tremble.
"Then I want you to have only me as your girl! Tomorrow, you're going to break up with Yvette and marry me!" she said coquettishly?
His tone suddenly turned cold.
"Don't be silly! I told you before, it's impossible to break up with her."
Hearing what he said, Laurent pushed him away forcefully.
But Arnold grabbed her and leaned over to kiss her.
I watched this scene, tears streaming down my face.
I thought I had already accepted it.
'Why have you decided to give up?'
Seeing it with my own eyes, I still felt heartbroken.
I turned around and left the party.
Half an hour later, he hurried back.
Seeing me at home, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yvette, you scared me to death. You didn't even answer the phone."
It took more than an hour to get home from the hall, but he only took half an hour.
Looking at the sweat on his forehead due to anxiety, I felt more and more dazed.
I knew Arnold loved me very much, but at the same time, he also fell in love with Laurent.
However, I just wanted to be firmly chosen.
Arnold's cheating was a selective issue that I would never forgive!
Noticing that something was wrong with me, he explained guiltily. "Laurent was bullied and she was crying so hard, so I went to the garden to comfort her for a while. After all, I was the one who brought her there."
"Are you angry?"
Having heard enough of his clumsy lies, I impatiently closed my eyes.
"No, I'm tired."
That night, Arnold took the initiative to sleep in a separate room.
There was a cold war for seven days in a row.
Before the final scene of the movie, he took the initiative to pick me up and take me to the production team.
"Yvette, are you still angry with me? Believe me, there's really nothing between Laurent and me!"
"I swear to God, my Little Princess, please don't be angry, okay?"
