“Phyllis, I'm sorry to bother you about this, but I cannot accompany Eon on the set because I'm swamped with my research.” Rui apologetically said over the phone. “No problem, my dear! I'm actually on the way to Eon's school, so we can go straight there,” said Phyllis, who was driving the car on the way to East City from Lieren. Seven weeks have passed since her wedding, and she has been living her life as she usually does. Zacharias, her husband, never showed up for the past few weeks and only updated her through the phone. And this made her slowly adjust and properly come to terms with the fact that she married her idol. Though it was an arranged marriage, she still did her best as the new Mrs. Lohr. Aside from diligently visiting her grandmother, she would also visit her father-in-law and have dinner with him to give him updates about his son. From the perspective of their relatives, she and Zacharias appeared to have an amazing relationship. They looked like a harmonious coupl

A black van pulled up in front of the hotel entrance. Then, a tall man in black alighted from the passenger seat to open the door for Phyllis. “Mrs. Lohr, we've arrived.” Phyllis nodded at him before picking up her nephew, who was fast asleep. He carefully went down the vehicle while carrying Eon. Eli, who was waiting outside, approached Phyllis. “Lis, let me help you with Eon,” he gently offered. Seeing his kind intention, she smiled at him. “Thanks, Eli. Please be careful with this brat.” Eli then carried Eon from Phyllis' arms before escorting her inside the hotel. And Zacharias, who was watching from inside, gritted his teeth in jealousy. He watched his wife smile sweetly at another guy, it was a smile he never received. He couldn't help but feel jealous. Eli has a tall and lean body and outstanding facial features. Besides that, he is an amazing guy. He's someone who would match Phyllis perfectly. If someone else saw Phyllis and Eli, they would immediately think of

Eli lowered his head as he lightly chuckled. Though he was interrupted by the irritated Zacharias, he didn't mind since he understood his artist's temper. “Apparently, I am.” “I see. May I have a word with you then?” Zacharias impatiently said. He was clearly pissed with Eli's nonchalant attitude. Since last night, Zacharias has been feeling jealous of Eli's relationship with Phyllis. He knew that it was pointless to worry. Eli is a good friend, and Phyllis is his wife. Though he and Phyllis are not intimately close, they have a bond (legally). So technically, even though it was one-sided, he still has the right to be jealous. And seeing them being friendly with each other made him a little bit uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because he wasn't feeling emotionally secure in the relationship. Still, he wants to settle this heavy feeling in his chest. The two stepped away from the crowd and moved to an isolated corner. “Are you close with Phyllis?” he directly asked. He doesn't wa

“What's happening here?” a cool monotonous tone cut Eon's tantrums in. “Uncle!” the kid shouted as he hurried to his uncle's side. Zacharias glanced at Phyllis, Aster, and Eli, before turning to his nephew, Eon. He crouched down beside Phyllis to face Eon. “What's wrong, kid?” “Uncle Aster wants to invite Aunt to join the game, but I don't want her to be on another team,” he grumbled. He slowly nodded his head as he listened to Eon's whining. He leaned closer to Phyllis' side and quietly asked. “Do you want to join Aster, Lis?” Phyllis was taken aback by his sudden question. Though he asked in his low voice, it was gentle and calm. It was so different from when he asked Eon earlier. Of course, not everyone would notice this. But Phyllis heard the shift in his voice. “Yes. Besides, it's an inconvenience to everyone if Apollo doesn't have a plus one. You guys would have to wait for their plus one. Since Aster's my friend, why don't I help him out?” she explained. He nodded

“Eon! We're just talking about something... it's about grown-up stuff.” she tried to reason. She doesn’t want to give out more details because they're currently playing against each other. "Auntie, are you discussing real-world problems with Uncle Aster?” Aster burst into laughter upon hearing Eon's innocent remarks. While Zacharias and Eon just stared at Phyllis, both waiting for her answer. She sighed. “It's just about our microphone clips.” Eon went up and hugged Phyllis, who was crouching, still upset that he had to fight his aunt. "Auntie..." "I miss you..." "Let's not fight, okay?" Phyllis heard the slight hesitation in his voice. It was clear that he was having a hard time processing everything. He was prepared to play with other idols, but not with her. She understood that he was upset because he did not want to play against her. For a competitive kid like Eon, winning is everything. Even at a young age, he wanted to be challenged. Perhaps it stemmed from the way
