Chapter 439
While talking over the phone, Michael waved goodbye at everyone and silently left. The filming set was
still quiet. Everyone could only hear Michael’s voice slowly vanishing as he walked further away. “Oh,
right, son, my fan gave me a big panda as a birthday gift. Next time, I’ll bring you and Mommy to visit the
panda. What do you think?”
Still engaged in the phone call, he entered his own SUV. A few secondster, the SUV’s engine revved
and it rolled away, disappearing from everyone’s vision.
Sophia remained at the same spot. After she poked Danny beside her, he shed an embarrassed smile
at the rest of the crew. “Thank you everyone for putting in the effort to organize the birthday party for
Taylor. He’s really happy and very touched.
Enjoy the food!” Then, to Natasha, he said, “By the way, Miss Mitchell, thank you for the big round
panda. Uh, I mean the panda. I thank you and your family on behalf of Taylor’s family of three and his
ancestors.”

Thank you and your family… Hearing Danny’s remark, Natasha’s expression further darkened. What
did he mean by ‘thanking on behalf of Taylor’s family of three’? Is he reminding me not to be a
homewrecker?
Danny and Sophia went into the car and left as well, leaving behind an awkward birthday party and
equally awkward crew. The theme of the night’s party was ‘Natasha celebrating Taylor’s birthday’.
Thinking that other gifts were toomonce, she specifically splurged two million to adopt a panda
as a gift for Taylor, going as far as to incorporate her love for Taylor in the naming of the animal.
She had thought that everything was perfect, but now, she was practically pped in the face by that one
phone call. In that instant, she was turned into a clown who was being watched by judgemental eyes.
They were all secretlyughing at her. A youngdy of the Mitchell Family has chosen to be a mistress!
And she confessed her love to a married man in front of everyone. How shameless! How insolent!
Under everyone’s awkward and meaningful nces, Natasha suddenly covered her face in her hands
and dashed away, vanishing before their eyes in her dancer outfit. Olivia felt her scalp crawling as she
stared at the direction that Michael had left and looked toward the other direction where Natasha had
fled. Aftering to a difficult decision, she ran after Natasha.
A carefully-nned birthday party ended just like that. Only a group of confused extras and filming crew
was left at the filming site with a huge cake.
The director was sullen when he threatened, “You guys must be too bored! Since you had the time to
prepare a confession party for a married man, I think you must have the capacity for overtime. Tonight,
let’s all work overtime!”
No one dared to talk back and they all scurried away to work overtime. Just now, the atmosphere was
fired up with Olivia’s enthusiasm and Natasha’s talent, but still, Taylor kept too much of a low profile.
There was too little time and too much work, causing everyone to momentarily forget that Taylor Murray
was married!
Two days ago, he’d showed off his wedding ring. How could they urge a married man to kiss a young
woman? They deserved the overtime dished out by the director!
After getting into the car, Michael tucked the phone that had never rang away into his bag. Just now,
there was no iing call at all. He had delivered an impromptu speech! When he was now finally away
from the scene, he wiped away his sweat and let out a sigh of relief.
Whew! If it weren’t for his wittiness, thinking up a clever script on his feet and saving the situation, he
could not imagine how furious Sophia would be. Thus, he felt thankful for his own quick wit.
Back at the hotel, Sophia didn’t look angry. Like usual, she was gaming when Michael was studying his
script. After that, she went for a shower like what she normally did.
The night deepened and the couple went to bed, during which Sophia finally brought up the debacle
earlier. “Why is your birthday today?”
In her memory, his birthday should fall in spring. His fanclub even prepared an event, through which
they’d deliver birthday gifts to Michael’s managing agency. He replied, “My actual birthday is today. The
one before is agreed upon by the fans.”
He had never announced his actual birthday, so the fans decided upon his debut date as his birthday.
Instead, his real birthday was actually on this day, so he wondered how Olivia had gotten hold of his
birthday.
Anyway, Michael thought that it didn’t matter if he celebrated his birthday or not. Since Celine’s death, he
never celebrated his birthday anymore. Every time the date came around, it seemed to remind him that
the other person whom he shared the same birthday with was no longer alive…
Sophia sank into silence and recalled the contents of Michael’s photo album at the Fletchers’. There was
only one photo of Michael’s eighteenth birthday celebration. The twins looked jolly in the photo, and
based on their outfits, the date must have been sometime in spring.
She was silent for a while, but Michael brought up another topic. “Last time, you wrote me a love letter on
my birthday…”
That made her instantly blush, because she didn’t expect her embarrassing behavior would be exposed.
She hurriedly covered herself with the nket. “No, I didn’t. I don’t know anything about the love letter!”
Michael couldn’t be bothered to press on. Back then, he had replied to her with another letter, but that
letter was torn into shreds by her during a drunk episode. He wondered if she had read it before.
“What do you n to give me for my next birthday?”
She remained covered under the nket. “I’ll adopt a big round panda under your name too.”
He stared at the woman hiding away under the nket beforementing in all seriousness, “I’d prefer
a child.”
Under the nket, Sophia went silent for a moment before pulling it down for a bit. “I guess you can get
in…”
That night, Sophia granted Michael’s wish and had unprotected sex with him. Ever since their intimacy in
the logistics tent, Michael hadpletely let go of himself and didn’t have protected sex. They both
thought that it was time for a child.
Sophia also thought that it was ideal to have a child now. It was better to give birth early. After the birth,
she could spend her future focusing on her business and Nathan would be less lonely. However,
Michael’s intention was sneakier than Sophia’s.
He felt that he had gotten a hold of the elusive Cooper Mitchell. One day, he would finally see Cooper in
person if he followed the clues. Then, Cooper would be back sooner orter.
If he could have a few kids with Sophia, when Cooper returned, he would have to acknowledge Michael
somehow, for Michael was the father of his grandchildren!
The next day, the news ofst night’s awkward birthday dinner had spread on the Inte, causing an
uproar.
Firstly, it was a dumb girl at the party who had uploaded the video of the party onto her own blog. The
video recorded the moment Natasha showed up all the way until the time when everyone was chanting
‘Kiss! Kiss!’. Since the video was cut before the scene where Taylor took a call from his wife, everyone
believed that someone in the cast confessed her love to Taylor and that the filming crew was chanting for
him to kiss the girl. What a shameless crew these people were to do that!
Due to a security loophole, ‘War Dragon’ had gotten into a scandal when their actress was taken away
by the lion at the filming site. This time, the crew joined hands to urge a young woman to confess her
love to a married star. They must have wanted badly to go viral!
The crew of ‘War Dragon’ once again dominated the headlines, but they were heavily criticized by the
public; even Taylor was being harshly reprimanded by his anti-fans. Even though the dumb girl
eventually took down the video, the clips of Natasha dancing erotically for Taylor spread across the
Inte, causing her name to appear on the headlines along with his.
