Terri had been pursuing celebrities since high school. She would kill to have any form of interaction with her idol—even if it was just a handshake.
Considering she was a university student, she had plenty of time on hand. The chances of bumping into a celebrity were higher in D City. To get close to her favorite idols, she had worked hard to get into a university there.
Over the years, Terri had successfully gotten into a few fan clubs, which bumped up her chances of interacting with her idols.
She would never miss out on any events posted in the group chat—including reception events at the airport. Skipping classes was nothing to her as long as she could get close to her idols.
Despite so, her results were not at all affected by her absence from school. Besides, Terri came from a well-to-do family. Hence, she had the leisure to go after her idols.
That day, while waiting for her idol’s flight to touch down at the airport, she saw a cute little boy.
With an exquisite look, the little boy carried a graceful aura. It suddenly occurred to her that her idol would participate in a reality show soon. The show would film the daily lives of several pairs of celebrity father and son duo. Terri’s idol had a role in the show—caretaker of a toddler. I can take a photo with this cutie to show support for my idol’s upcoming series!
That night, Terri sent the photo to the fan club’s president, suggesting that their idol should pick the little boy for the show. The boy’s attractive looks would gain him positive ratings. Besides, the little boy was no ordinary toddler. He behaved as though he was an adult in the way he spoke. What’s more, he even teased Terri. Kids like him are born to be a star.
She posted the photo on Twitter and tagged her idol, hoping to catch his attention. It didn’t if she succeeded or not. Even if she had only one percent chance of appearing before her idol’s screen, she would give it a try!
Sure enough, he replied to the post and said that he liked the boy. He also said that he would contact the boy’s parents, if possible.
Terri was over the moon. However, just as she was thinking about how she could make use of the boy to get closer to her idol, the photo she posted on Twitter had disappeared. She wasn’t the only one facing the problem because other people who retweeted due to the boy’s cuteness couldn’t see the picture as well.
The president of the fan club instantly texted her to ask what happened. However, Terri was just as confused.
Unwilling to give up, she posted the photo once more, which got censored instantaneously.
The president thought that the little boy must come from an influential family.
Terri couldn’t believe that she had taken a picture with someone powerful by coincidence.
The way she saw it, there was nothing special about the boy except for his exquisite looks. Swiftly, she posted the photo on a forum to see if anyone knew anything about the boy.
Most of the people didn’t know who he was. All they said was that he was cute. There were various comments under her question: This is surreal! He must be an angel.
Some people’s comments were more helpful as they guessed that he could be some big shot’s son or illegitimate son.
Some even said that he could be a public figure’s son. Hence, his identity must be kept confidential.
All in all, the majority of the commenters warned Terri not to circulate the photo anymore. Otherwise, she might get herself into serious trouble.
Terri recalled when they took the photo, the boy’s mother didn’t even stop her. If they were some influential figures, she wouldn’t have allowed it.
I don’t get it. Who is the boy, really?
While looking for clues, someone commented: The woman in the upper right corner is quite blurry, but don’t you guys think she looks familiar? She seems to be that controversial screenwriter whose scandalous news is immediately censored even before release. I believe you guys could guess who she is. What is the relationship between this woman and the kid? If my guess is correct, then it’s no wonder the kid’s photo is censored.
Terri’s heart thumped upon seeing the comment and she quickly replied: The beautiful woman is the boy’s mother.
She seemed to know who the screenwriter was. The more Terri looked at the picture, the more she found the woman to look familiar.
Many other netizens saw the comment and instantly understood.
Besides trying to keep a low profile, the screenwriter must have someone powerful backing her up. Netizens had numerous guesses of who the man might be but that wasn’t that big of a news. However, Terri had managed to take a picture of the screenwriter and her son. What mattered most was that she already had a son and a cute one at that. The best news they could get would be the identity of the boy’s father.
More comments flooded the post: This is awesome! You just discovered a huge secret by chance!
I should take a screenshot of this. I’m sure this will be censored soon.
It seems like I discovered something huge. I won’t be killed for this, right? We have to take screenshots of this. I’d be able to rest in peace if I found out who the father is.
Seeing those comments, Terri quickly took a screenshot of her post as well. What’s the use of this, though?
The whole point of posting this is to get my idol’s attention. Now that I can’t post it, there’s no point to screenshot either.
Naturally, the righteous Terri wouldn’t sell this piece of information to the paparazzi for money. Sigh, it’s a pity I couldn’t make use of this photo to approach my idol!

To Clarissa’s surprise, Yael was not around when she arrived at the studio.
It was only after Clarissa made a call did she find out that Yael was hospitalized.
Being a tough woman, Yael wouldn’t have gone to the hospital if it weren’t to the point where she couldn’t stand up.
Clarissa instantly rushed to the hospital and found her fast asleep in the ward when she arrived.
One of the nurses informed her that Yael had caught influenza. Her condition was not looking good. Apart from diarrhea, she hadn’t been getting enough rest either. She had called for an ambulance herself. By the time the ambulance arrived, she was already unconscious with her wallet and ID in her hands.
Upon hearing that, Clarissa felt sorry for her. The woman’s eyes reddened before she burst into tears.
She sat by Yael’s bed for a long time. After notifying the people at the studio, she continued to stay with the latter at the hospital.
The nurse told Clarissa that Yael was lucky to have made it to the hospital before it was too late. Tragic cases often happened to individuals who lived alone. Hence, they should check up on her more often.
Clarissa was remorseful. Although the latter enjoyed being a career woman, Clarissa should’ve been more keen on her senses in taking care of Yael’s wellbeing.
Yael’s looked fragile in her sleep, lacking vitality. Not long after, Mandy dropped by with a few sets of clean clothes for Yael.
Meanwhile, Yael’s phone had been ringing non-stop. Seeing as she might need some time to recuperate, Clarissa answered those calls on her behalf and took over her tasks.
Since Mandy was staying back, Clarissa left for the studio to deal with the tasks. Only then did she realize there was a lot to cope with in the studio.
Apparently, preparing for a publication or selling a movie required more effort than she had expected.
Clarissa busied herself with work the rest of the day. As she was new to the task, there wasn’t much decision she could make.
By the time she returned to the hospital at night, Yael had already woken up. Despite still feeling weak, she was concerned about work matters.
Clarissa was deeply ashamed as she shared the issues faced at work. After giving her advice, Yael expressed her desire to return to work the next day. However, Clarissa strongly opposed the idea.
“From now on, I’m going to put you on mandatory holiday. As your boss, I’m ordering you to only return to work after Valentine’s Day. During this time, I will take over all your work. Except for rest, you don’t have to think about anything else.”
Yael stared at her and asked, “You won’t ruin the studio, right?”
Clarissa’s face flushed red as she replied, “No way! I’m a graduate of D University. I’ll work hard and learn. If there’s anything that I don’t understand, I’ll ask you about it. Don’t worry about it. I’m the boss, after all. I won’t ruin the studio.”
Yael shrugged her shoulders at that. The former ordered her to rest and quickly returned to the studio to catch up on work.
When Matthew arrived home, his son clung onto his legs pitifully as he cried and complained that he was an abandoned child.
“Daddy, Mommy doesn’t want to play with me.”
Feeling shocked, he picked up his son and made his way into the house.
“Mommy’s in the study,” the little boy revealed.
“Mommy must be working. Let’s not disturb her. I’ll play with you. She’ll come downstairs once it’s dinnertime,” Matthew said with a smile.
Damian nodded his head reluctantly and had no choice but to play with his father.
By dinnertime, Julia served all the dishes on the table and went upstairs to get Clarissa. The latter only came down after a long time and was reading through some documents as she ate.
Damian instantly pointed at her and said, “Look, Daddy. Mommy doesn’t love us anymore.”
Clarissa was rendered speechless at that. Damian is acting dramatically.
