Thankfully, Alina hadn’t bothered Vaughn and Eloise since she threatened them in Vaughn’s office. Her reputation had hit rock bottom, too. A lot of people were glad that she had been removed from “Dreams Come True,” and it seemed like her career is well and over. However, despite the public’s happiness with her removal, they weren't pleased with the new casting too. This is Eloise’s first project, and although she has gained a few fanbases here and there, people are questioning how she got a lead role as an unknown actress. Today was their first shoot with Eloise as the lead character, and she was nervous about acting in the main part. “Eloise!” she heard Grayson call her name. She turned around and nervously smiled at him. “Hey.”“Hey, you!” he smiled, nudging her shoulder. “So, you’re my Zoe now, huh?”She nodded her head. “I guess it turned out that way,” she nervously chuckled. “I’m sorry if I mess up on some parts. I’ve gotten immersed with Bonnie, so it’s hard to get out of

The car was engulfed in silence after Vaughn’s confession. Jealous? Jealous of who?Her mind raced with thoughts filled with unbelief. If he’s jealous, then that could only mean one thing—does he like Eloise?“Well, at least say something,” Vaughn said, a bit embarrassed that he blurted it out.“What do you want me to say?” Eloise asked, her cheeks warm. “Who would you even be jealous of?”“That Ryan Gosling wannabe,” he grumbled.Eloise couldn’t help but laugh. “Grayson? We’re co-workers!” she exclaimed. “Although I don’t really see the need to explain this to you when you shouldn’t even be jealous.”“I know,” he softly said. “But I can’t help myself.”With that, Vaughn started the engine, the topic being swept under the rug. However, the two of them didn’t talk at all during the car ride. There was still a lingering feeling of awkwardness and uncertainty in the air.They were co-parents, but Vaughn wonders whether it’d be a sin to feel this way toward Eloise.They arrived at the day

“No,” Eloise deadpanned. “You must be kidding. Your house is so big,” she said. “Why do you have only one bedroom?”“I’m the only one who lives here,” he said. “I’m telling the truth, Eloise. You can check every room in this house if you'd like.”“Then, what’s that room over there?” she pointed, walking over to the room perpendicular to Ollie’s. She opened the door and saw a movie theater-like space. She looked at them with wide eyes. “You have a movie theater in your house, but you only have one room?” she asked. “It gets lonely when you’re alone sometimes,” he muttered. “Besides, Ollie would have fun there. It also has a 4D function.”Eloise shook her head in disbelief. “So, when Alina stays here, she sleeps in this very room?”Eloise would rather sleep in the movie theater if that's the case. She can just imagine what the two of them have done on Vaughn’s bed. “Alina has never been here,” he said. “What?” she asked, perplexed. “But the two of you only broke up weeks ago.”He no

Eloise couldn’t believe what she just heard. “What?” she clarified. “You heard me,” Vaughn said. “The best way you can master something is through practice. Practice makes perfect, right?”“And I have to learn this from you because?” she asked. “Because why not?” he smirked. “It’s not like you have any other person to help you with it? Who else are you going to ask? That Grayson dude?”“I could,” she said, raising her chin confidently. “There’s nothing wrong in asking him to practice. We’re going to be the ones to act the scene out anyway.”Vaughn’s jaw clenched. He already hated the idea of Grayson and Eloise kissing on camera. But behind the scenes? He’d rather lose his company. “We both know you wouldn’t do that,” he said. “Go ahead and call him. Ask him to practice kissing you. I’ll wait.”Vaughn crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned back against the couch, his gaze still lingering on Eloise’s face. Eloise bit her lip. Of course, she said those words just to provo

“Is it really alright for me to go?” Eloise asked Cadence as she took a sip out of her matcha latte. It was one of the rare days when the two of them had a day off. It’s been such a long time since they’ve hung out by themselves, so they decided to have coffee at a cute little cafe. “Why wouldn’t it be okay for you to go?” Cadence asked. “It’s family day!”“Exactly,” Eloise exclaimed. “It’s for families. It means that we’d have to mingle as Ollie’s parents. You know I would do everything for my child, but what if people ask us how long we’ve been together or something? Do I just tell them that we’re in a co-parenting situationship?”“Yes,” Cadence nonchalantly said. “It’s not unusual. Did you know? Nearly 45% of couples are divorced in the United States. I’m sure you are not alone.”“That’s the thing,” Eloise exasperatedly said. “We’re not a normal divorced couple. We were never really together, either. We’re in this weird ambiguous relationship of being co-parents with some sexual
