Chapter 115 – Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage (not edited) “Jonas, thank you for your help.” Renly closed the passenger door, and the truck, fully loaded with goods, wobbled away down the street.

This made Renly smile. “If you walk across the next street, the subway station is right at the corner. Or would you…
Chapter 114 – Turning from guest to host Fischer sized up the newcomer before him, who had quietly risen to prominence. Although he sported a full beard, his handsome face still showed a hint of youthful naivety. The exuberance and recklessness of youth radiated from his features, yet his eyes were calm as water, exuding a composure and elegance beyond his years. It seemed as if all his brilliance had settled down, permeating every cell…
Chapter 113 – Emmy nomination “Mr. Hall, please get in the car.” Concise and commanding, with an undeniable authority and determination, it was clear that this was someone used to giving orders from a position of power. However, Renly was not one to enjoy following commands. “Thank you for the invitation, Mr….” Renly paused, seemingly unable to recall the other person’s name, and thus used “Mr.” as a generic title. “My mother told me to…
Chapter 112 – Picking up a stranger at the airport As his feet once again touched down on the tarmac of New York’s JFK International Airport, breathing in the air filled with floating particles of debris and feeling the weak sunlight, Renly had to admit that the familiarity always brought a sense of coming home. Truth be told, Renly didn’t like New York. It is too rainy, too snowy, and too windy. One hurricane could…
Chapter 111 – Gorge Encounter The man not far away was burly, with a sturdy and robust build exuding the wild and rough nature of a Viking. His light brown curls appeared unruly, and his deep-set features carried a sense of ruggedness and wear. A scruffy beard covered most of his cheeks, yet it couldn’t hide the straightforwardness between his brows. At this moment, like Renly, he had a chalk bag hanging from his waist…
Chapter 110 – Moment of losing oneself The fingertips of his left hand touched the rough and coarse rock particles. Through the thin layer of anti-slip powder, the moisture seeping from the rock’s surface could faintly be felt. The right hand was carefully inserted into a crevice in the rock. The narrow gap only allowed part of the finger to enter. After slightly adjusting the angle to find the best position and probing a few…
Chapter 251 – Looking into your eyes This welcoming banquet didn’t end until 9 o’clock at night. Director Zhong Yue has an extraordinary capacity for alcohol. He and his assistant teamed up to resist the successive attacks from Zhang De, Lu Chen, and others. He drank four or five bottles of red wine and, in the end, only had a slight hint of intoxication, about seven or eight points. Zhang De had already booked rooms…

As the most lively vacation season of the year, people from all over Europe began to flock to popular tourist destinations to enjoy this rare holiday. Ibiza, Corsica, Santorini,…
Chapter 108 – Surviving through madness Even as the director, Rodrigo was left speechless by that scene. In fact, Renly changed the lines during the performance, and many parts were improvised. The most obvious example of that was in the final stage of the performance, the script actually had Paul speak after being shocked, and he couldn’t help but swear; and after despair, he also said, “You brought me here,” which triggered the “I’m sorry”…
Chapter 250 – Full of sincerity Someone once said that taking a makeup photo is just like taking a wedding photo, it looks beautiful but is actually a painful thing. It took Lu Chen and Chen Feier a full two days to finish taking their makeup photos. However, neither of them thought it was painful, and Chen Feier was even enjoying it.
