Chapter 294 Unbearable Acting

As he watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, his thoughts drifted, and he couldn’t help but

recall those three months at the orphanage when he was five and she was six-months where they relied on each

other.

It was the most precious, warm memory of his life.

He remembered how, back when he was being bullied, the small girl who was even thinner than he was stood in

front of him with the air of a sister, shielding him from harm. His rebellious eyes softened with warmth and

nostalgia.

But it seemed like he was the only one still living in that memory. She had long since moved on.

“I'm your sister now. I'll always protect you, and we'll be together forever.”

“But only married couples can be together forever. Will you marrywhen you grow up?”

“You're so handsome-I definitely will! When I grow up, I'm going to be your bride!”

The innocent promises they made sixteen years ago still echoed in his ears. But she had already forgotten all

about him.

After a long while, he let out a helpless and annoyed chuckle. “Liar”

Last night, Grace thought Lily hadn't chbecause rehearsal had run late.

With the new year approaching, Grace still hoped Lily would continue living with the Luke family.

After that car accident Wendy orchestrated, Grace constantly worried that something might happen to Lily on

the road, even though the court had already sentenced Wendy to six years in prison.

By evening, she called James and asked him to pick Lily up from the theater after work.

James originally didn’t want to have more contact with Lily.

But for sreason, the moment he remembered what Jackson had said about “making it up tonight,” he still

ended up driving to the theater.

When he arrived, Lily was rehearsing the scene where Cherry thanks her benefactor in prison.

The first two times, she bowed. The third time, she leapt through the air.

James watched as Lily sprang from the ground and slammed down hard again and again. His brow furrowed

tighter and tighter.

He knew actors had their techniques for tic falls like that.

But even with technique, repeatedly landing that hard did real damage to the knees.

And last night, her knees were already bright red.

Doing a scene like that over and over-her knees must be killing her..

When rehearsal ended and she was still sitting on the ground gently rubbing her knees, he couldn’t help but step

forward, intending to help her up.

Jie-jie, I'm here to pick you up!”

Before he even got to the stage, Jackson dashed over like a whirlwind, carrying a huge bouquet of blazing red

roses. He helped her up from the ground.

The look in his eyes as he stared at her was even more fiery than the roses-so bright it practically scorched.

“You said you'd make it up totonight. I’ve got a surprise waiting for you in our wedding suite. | really miss

you. Let's go to our wedding suite tonight, and you can givea big kis, okay!”

“Cough, cough-

Lily choked on her own saliva, coughing so hard her whole face turned red.

Wedding suite? How the hell did a poor college student like Jackson get a wedding suite?

Renting a place in the capital wasn’t cheap. No way he’d spend money just to rent a fake wedding suite for

a scene.

She was pretty sure everything she told him this morning had gone in one ear and out the other.

His acting was just as over-the-top as ever.

She caught sight of James standing cool and distant offstage, tall and impossibly composed. Clearly, Jackson was

going all in because James had shown up.

With James standing right there, she couldn't call him out for overacting, Face still red from coughing, she said,

“Grandma calledearlier and askedto go htonight”

Jackson hadn't expected to actually whisk Lily away tonight.

But he had to make James back off-get him to go sign the divorce papers and be done with it.

Man to man, he could tell James didn’t actually feel nothing for Lily.

So he had to lay it on thick—say all

Lily was still coughing so badly she couldn even form a complete sentence.

Seriously, he was overdoing it so much, she had no idea how to even play along.

Seriously, he was overdoing it so much, she had no idea how to even play along.

James saw her coughing so hard she was practically gasping for air, and he saw how flushed her face had

gotten.

He figured she was just shy-wanted to be close to Jackson but felt embarrassed with him, the third wheel,

standing nearby.

He knew he was intruding, and that he should step aside so they could have their moment.

But for sreason, he didn’t want to let them have that moment. So he stayed rooted to the spot, cold and

tense.

“Hey...”

Jackson called out to him, not the

least bit afraid, even looking up to

meet his eyes. “Your (heredapick
