Chapter 275
The male lead was Finn Jone, an excellent actor who had won numerous accolades, and the female
lead was Leia Coleman. They looked younger than her, yet their eyes exposed their maturity.
They may not be old, but their eyes resembled seasoned performers with a lot to tell and were full of
hope. It was not a feeling Stella could put into words.
Unsure if it was because of the higher–ups, the shooting had accelerated since the opening ceremony.
According to a cast member, Daniel wanted to rush the show for Thanksgiving release, and the higher–
ups may cut down on medieval shows next year. If progress was slow and the policy changed next year,
the show may get cut, and the release may be delayed indefinitely. A delay of two years will have a huge
impact, not to mention indefinite delays.
Stella may not have much screen time, but it was quite spread out. Usually, she would be called over by

uncomfortable headdress, other inconveniences are still acceptable.
No matter the role, the performers Daniel picked had to always be in good shape.
Stella’s articulation was good, but her expression was not as good as the others. Despite that, Daniel
was a willing teacher, and Stella was a keen learner, making her improvement obvious.
Compared to the hectic life Stella was leading now, Keegan, as of late, was somewhat depressed.
Nowadays, Stella woke up earlier and came back later than him, not giving the couple a chance to speak
with each other. On occasions when she came home early, she would yawn and quickly shower as if
trying to sneak away.
Stella had reached home after nine again tonight: She took a bath and half–dried her hair before lying on
the bed. She used to check on her phone before sleeping but had stopped doing it nowadays.
Keegan loudly flipped through a book, making Stella furrow her brows. She pulled out a pair of earplugs
and an eye mask from the drawer to drown out both senses.
‘This asshole had never been in bed before eleven in the past. Recently, why is he here whenever I lie
down? Most importantly, he would flip the book back and forth instead of sleeping. So noisy!‘
Seeing her drowning out light and sound and seeming impatient, Keegan’s mouth couldn’t help but
twitch. He was about to put down the book and turn off the lights when Stella’s phone rang. Seeing Stella
not move, Keegan took out one of her earplugs and forced the phone beside her ear. The shrill noise
instantly woke Stella up.
She took off her eye mask and was about to lose her temper when Keegan said indifferently, ” Your
father.”
Stella pursed her lips and took the call.
“Stella, are you asleep?”
‘It’s so late. Anyone would be woken up by this.‘

Stella still pursing her lips before she replied, “Not yet. Is there anything you need, father?”
“Your great-grandfather was recently discharged from the hospital and insisted on staying at your place
for a few days to see his great–grandson–in–law. Are you at home tomorrow? Can I fetch him over
tomorrow?”
Stella immediately became wide awake.
Her great–grandfather, Arthur Jewell, Albert’s grandfather, was eighty–seven this year. Before she joined
the cast, Albert had called, saying Arthur Jewell had come to the city to receive treatment for possible
enteritis and would be staying in the hospital for a few days. She spared some time to visit him at that
time.
Many from the Jewell family came to pay a visit, encircling the bed. Stella did not stay long and left
quickly.
Stella had a bad relationship with her relatives. She rarely returned to her great–grandparents‘ home and
rarely saw Arthur. Even when she married, Arthur never attended the wedding because it was too far.
‘Why would he take the initiative to stay at my place now of all times?‘
