Still, it did not matter if Tessa made that promise last time. The more important task at
hand was to pacify Nicholas. “I’m serious this time,” she declared. “Trust me.”
Gazing into her sincere eyes, he finally broke out into a smile. “Very well,” he said,
relenting. “I’ll trust you one more time.” He pulled her into an embrace and dipped his
head down to kiss her pink lips.
The two then leaned into each other. Beside them, Gregory had his hands on his cheeks
and moaned, “Ah, Mommy and Daddy are showing off their love again. Thankfully, Uncle
Kieran’s not here with us.”
Meanwhile, the production team was working on editing the footage they had from the
morning. Every shot was perfect.
“Sir, the higher-ups were right to hire Miss Reinhart for this video. I dare say that once the
final draft is finished, everyone will be shocked!” The video editor heaped praise after
praise at the image of Tessa displayed on the screen as he worked.
Many of the nearby crew members nodded in agreement.
“She’s also a very friendly woman,” one of them commented. “She was so polite to us,
unlike certain celebrities who act kind but are actually mean and petty in private.”

“I like her too.” The room was filled with laughter as they talked.
The director listened in on the conversation while writing up a report to the higher-ups
regarding the progress of the shoot. Soon, they received new orders.
In order to hype up the new video, the higher- ups had requested the director to leak a few
blooper reels onto the internet. That evening, the director deliberately added Tessa’s
name in the headline so that they would attract more attention from netizens.
‘Tessa Reinhart appears on camera without makeup to ensure realism for a public service
announcement. Her skin is extremely smooth.’
Tessa was quite popular on the internet in the first place. Thus, when people saw the
headline, everyone clicked on the article. All of them were awed by her natural beauty.
I’m in love!’ someone commented. ‘How can my muse be so beautiful?’
‘She’s just gorgeous. Her skin is fairer than mine after makeup. Did I dress up for
nothing?”
Everyone who read those comments laughed and replied to tease the people who
commented.
‘You’re not the only one. All of us dressed up for nothing.’ ‘Am I the only one who wants to
know what brand of makeup she wears?’
‘You’re not the only one.’ Hence, netizens swarmed Tessa’s Twitter account to poke at her.
‘My dear muse, tell me what kind of skincare regime you have. Otherwise, I will not get up
from the floor.”
I’m so cute that you will surely not just let my skin be ruined by staying up late all the
time, right?’
I’m so jealous. Your skin is smoother than mine, and I’m a teenage girl.”
Tessa had just finished her dinner when she found out she was trending on Twitter once
more.
When she saw what the people were commenting, she felt torn; should she be laughing or
crying?
Nicholas sensed her cheerful mood and leaned in close. “What are you looking at? What
brought that smile to your face?”
“Look at these fans. They’re just so cute!” she replied.
She handed the phone over to him and pointed at the news article while she chuckled.

announcement? Why are they focusing on my skin?”
He briefly glanced through the article. Thinking nothing of it, he took her phone away from
her. “Ignore them. You should rest.”
He then pulled her up back to their room. Not willing to part from his mother just yet,
Gregory followed closely behind. Inside the room, Nicholas made her lie down on the bed.
“Don’t stay up late. You still have to wake up early tomorrow.”
“But it’s only nine o’clock right now.”
She planned to scroll on her phone for longer and interact with her fans. She found them
quite interesting. How on earth could such sweet beings exist in this world?
Helpless against her pleas, Nicholas shot Gregory a look.
Instantly realizing what was being asked of him, Gregory swiftly crawled into bed and
hugged her arm. “Mommy, you have to sleep early. It is only then will you feel better.
Don’t make Daddy and me worry.”
Of course, she saw the look Nicholas shot at Gregory. The chain of events made her feel
like sighing, yet it filled her with warmth.
