Isabella and Andrew have returned to the apartment. In the living room on the first floor, Asher is sitting on the carpet in front of the French windows, scribbling with crayons. When the baby hears the door and sees Mommy and Daddy coming back, he immediately climbs up from the floor, drops the crayons in his hand, takes quick steps with his little legs, and runs towards Isabella. "Asher, were you good today?" Isabella picks up her son and gives him a big kiss on his little cheek. Asher giggles as he's kissed, one hand hugging her, the other reaching out to Andrew, "Daddy, hug." Andrew extends his arms, embracing them both. Asher pouts and rubs his cheek against Andrew's, leaving drool all over his face. Isabella kicks off her heels, carrying Asher into the house, and they both sit by the French windows. She picks up the dropped crayons from the floor and writes a few simple words on a small drawing board. Amelia has been teaching Asher to read during this time, and the baby's me

Isabella dutifully acted on set for a month, and then received a call from Olivia. She was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, so she needed to attend the awards ceremony. Olivia had already communicated with the crew, and the director approved her three days off. Then Isabella and Olivia flew back to Ithaca town. The day before the awards ceremony, Isabella was quite busy, trying on dresses, getting styled, and preparing her acceptance speech in advance. She kept busy until late at night and didn't return to her apartment, opting to spend the night at the hotel. At that time, Andrew was not in Ithaca town but on a business trip in Spain. When she called him at night, she couldn't help but complain, "I finally came back, and you're not here." On the phone, his voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of apology. "I can't attend your awards ceremony tomorrow, but after this busy period, I'll take you out to relax." "It's just a nomination, and the other nominees are all

Isabella stayed in the apartment for one night. The next morning, Asher saw his mother at home and happily danced around. However, she had to catch a flight in the afternoon and could only spend the morning with him. When she was about to leave, Asher grabbed her skirt, refusing to let her go, crying and calling her mom relentlessly. Isabella's eyes were red when she left. She even had the impulse to quit the entertainment industry altogether and become a full-time mother at home since Andrew could afford it. However, this impulsive thought was only temporary. She still had to finish filming the suspense drama she had started and couldn't quit the jobs she had already accepted. Living in this society meant following its rules. Professionalism was still necessary. She began working in Rochester town the next day. It happened to snow that day, but it didn't affect the filming progress. She had two scenes to shoot, one of which was quite challenging. The male lead, Emrys, had limited

Emrys looked at her crying like a tearful person, sighed helplessly. He finally remembered why he had lost focus when he saw Isabella's eyes yesterday. It was because Isabella's eyes were as pure and clear as Chloe's."Alright. Haven't I always listened to you? You said we should break up, so I'll obediently break up with you," Emrys said."But now I regret it, let's get back together," Chloe snuggled into Emrys's arms, coquettishly."Okay," Emrys reached out and hugged her.Chloe wiped the tears from her face and then tried to lift the blanket covering him. As she lifted the blanket, she found his leg was encased in thick plaster."Is your leg injury serious?" she asked with concern, looking like she was about to cry again.Emrys immediately comforted her, "It's just a fracture. A few days of rest will be fine. Don't worry, once it heals, I'll still be able to carry you and back you up."After saying that, he leaned close to her ear and added, "And I'll still perform just as well in

David and Robert went upstairs together, while Isabella and Lily hurried back to their room and closed the door. "I was so scared, I almost got caught," Lily said, patting her chest. Isabella, however, remained calm and composed as she sat on the edge of the bed, furrowing her elegant eyebrows. "Mrs. Ada and Elowen clearly have the upper hand before Robert's appearance, Charlotte is likely to be overturned again." "Robert is just Charlotte's cousin; it's not appropriate for him to meddle in their family affairs," Ava said, handing Isabella a cup of warm water. She hadn't even had a chance to drink water since she returned. Isabella took the cup and drank about half of it, then curled her lips in a mocking smile. "Robert has been in charge of Moonlit Art Inc. for many years, and there have undoubtedly been financial and power transactions between him and David. He must have a lot of leverage in his hands, so Elowen probably won't stir up much trouble this time." As she finished sp
