Her Precious Baby

Through the curtains on the stage, Angeline could see the venue being filled to the brim. Many fans were holding placards in support while screaming their names fervently.

The atmosphere inside was simply electrifying.

Cowed by the crowd’s reaction, Angeline became a bundle of nerves as she took a deep breath while leaning against the wall.

At that moment, Derek came over to remind her, “Angeline, remember to stay calm and try to have more interaction with Jacob. After all, you’re the couple in the movie, and everyone loves to watch the two of you together.”

“I got it, Mr. McKenna. Thank you.”

Nevertheless, Derek was still concerned and requested a member of the crew to bring him a bottle of water.

He then passed it to Angeline. “Drink more water. It’ll help you calm your nerves.”

Coincidentally, Angeline was thirsty from talking the whole evening. After taking the bottle in her hand, she began to gulp the water down.

The moment she tasted the water, she detected a faint saltiness but didn’t think much of it. The next moment, she was greeted by the sight of Jacob walking over after getting changed. He was wearing a suit that had a similar hue to her gown and had his hair combed back perfectly.

Standing side by side, both of them looked as if they were wearing matching outfits.

Breaking into a helpless smile, Angeline could only turn a blind eye to such coincidences. After all, it was all in the name of increasing publicity for their movie.

Ten minutes later, the curtains were drawn back to herald the start of the press conference.

The host kicked off the event by interacting with the audience before announcing in an excited voice, “All right now. I’m sure all of you can’t bear to wait any longer. Without further ado, let us now welcome the directors and cast of The Journey on stage with a round of applause!”

No sooner had he spoken than Derek led the cast onto the stage one by one. Strutting around in four-inch heels, Angeline made an effort to walk carefully after tripping herself a couple of times.

Once she managed to get herself on stage, a gentle smile emerged across her face as she waved to the audience.

However, the moment her eyes fell upon the first row—reserved for the investor of the film—her gaze and smile froze immediately.
