Chapter 506
Edgar suggested, “How about we arrange for the maids who clean Gxy Vi every day to
discreetly poke a few holes in Mr. Martin’s condoms? Just a few pricks in each one.”
Edgar rarely thought up such schemes. However, as he spoke, his eyes lit up as if he were
personally going to carry out the deed.
Gloria’s eyes sparkled with intrigue. Suddenly, she remembered something. “Is that how your
grandson was conceived?”
Edgar suddenly began coughing uncontrobly. His eyes darted around nervously. He was at a
loss, unsure how to answer Gloria’s question.
Gloria seemed to see through everything. She said, “No need to rush. Let’s wait a bit longer until
Skye’s health is fully recovered. Besides, those troublesome people will be back from abroad in a
few days. They’ll have a lot to deal with, so it’s better to wait until everything is settled before having
a child.”

Her expression grew serious as she spoke. Edgar also sobered up. He didn’t dare to say more.

In Jipsburg City, heavycain began falling. The air turned damp, and the sky grew dark. It was perfect
for Austin’s scene, which required heavy rain.
The director, ke Booth, had been waiting for such weather for over a month. The scenes that
were pre–arranged would all bepleted today.
Natalie was well–informed about the n. Hence, she arrived early ording to ke’s provided
time.
When Austin arrived on set and saw Natalie, he was surprised. “You…”
Natalie immediately shed her usual carefree smile. “I’m here to work today, right on time! I’ve got
hot water, towels, and fresh clothes ready. I won’t let your
catch a cold.”
Austin looked at Natalie and smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m not that fragile. It’s just a
bit of rain.

Hank was standing nearby. He shook his head and said, “You have amercial and a variety
show to shoot tomorrow. You should be careful
today.”
Over the years, Hank had been by Austin’s side, helping him navigate through numerous
challenges.
A few rain scenes were nothing, but Austin had injured himself doing many dangerous stunts. His
knees still ached whenever it rained.
Hank couldn’t help but feel that Austin had an unusual attachment to Natalie. Although he knew
some matters and felt pity for Natalie, he didn’t want Austin to make a mistake that would ruin
everything they had worked for.
The scenes were shot seamlessly, thanks to the skilled performance of Austin and his co–stars.
They wrapped up quickly.
Everything Natalie had prepared came in handy, including the hot peppermint tea she had bought
from a nearby hotel while Austin was filming.
In the car, Austin downed the hot peppermint tea in one go. Hank subtly raised an eyebrow. He had
never seen Austin willingly drink hot peppermint tea before.
Hank thought to himself, “Who are you kidding by saying you’re indifferent to Natalie?”
“Did you drink any?” Austin asked Natalie)
Natalie shook her head. “I didn’t get caught in the rain, so there’s no need for me to drink anything.”
Austin nced at her. He noticed how much thinner she looked. “Have you been sick these past few
days and not eating?”
“Huh? I’ve been eating, just not a lot. I’m all better now, though. No worries, Mr. Powell. It won’t
affect my work at all.”

Natalie didn’t dare to look up. Her eyes showed vulnerabilities and pain that couldn’t be hidden.
Perhaps Austin’s concern made her unable to stop recalling the experiences of these past few
days.

Some things came to mind even when one tried consciously to avoid them.
Hank had a strong perception. He sensed something unusual with Natalie.
He immediately chimed in with a cheerful tone, “You did a good job, though! I didn’t even think of
preparing hot peppermint tea, but you did. Good job!”
“Of course! When I put my mind to it, no one can do it better than me,” Natalie replied. She put on
her usual proud demeanor.
