Chapter 25 You Just Like to Abuse Yourself
Isobel’s face was gloomier than a cloudy sky.
Lottie smiled, “It’s needed for work. You’re not jealous, right?”
Luke just so happened to come over at that moment.
Isobel aggrievedly threw herself straight into his arms, “Luke, Lottie is making me angry on purpose.”
“I asked her to treat the acting with you seriously, but she said I was being jealous…”
“We’ve been together for so many years, why should I be jealous of her?”
Luke wrinkled his eyebrows and coldly swept a glance at Lottie, “Although we had an unpleasant past,
we’re on set now.”
“I hope you put aside your prejudices of the past, Lottie Green. Take your work seriously and be
professional.”
“Okay.”
Lottie stretched her back, “Since we’re taking our work seriously, then isn’t it also unprofessional for Mr.
Berry to indulge his girlfriend in telling me what to do on set?”
Her voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of many casts and staff members.
And some of them also began to discuss.
“I think she is right. So many stars all have their girlfriends, but I haven’t seen any of them who need
their girlfriends to accompany them on set every day.”
“You don’t understand. This is a publicity stunt. That Isobel Mitchell was a net celebrity before. She
didn’t have any great work and if it wasn’t for her relationship with Luke Berry, she couldn’t even get a
film contract. That’s why she needs to show affection every day to validate her existence!”
“That’s just really disgusting. With no talent and only relying on crooked ways to survive in the
entertainment industry…”
The sounds of those people’s comments were getting louder and louder.
Isobel was embarrassed and then her face turned pale.
In the end, she got out of Luke’s arms with a cold face, “I’m going to leave first.”
Luke hurriedly went after Isobel and coaxed her for a long time while holding her hand.
Lottie sat on a chair and flipped through the script while looking at Luke who was coaxing Isobel at a
distance. Her heart was feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She and Luke had been together for six years, but he had never treated her like that.
Ten minutes later, the set started shooting.
Lottie was standing there with her back to the camera and watched Luke walk towards her step by
step.
It was a modern-day drama in which Luke played a cold and ruthless domineering president.
Luke, with completed makeup, wore a white suit and walked towards Lottie with cold and sullen steps.
Sounds of other actresses’ gasps could be heard all around.
“So handsome…”
“Luke Berry is worthy of this year’s hottest actor in Taurus Awards. He’s so charming!”
“I really dream that he could be my husband…”
Lottie frowned while listening to the praises and looked at Luke’s face quietly.
The more she looked at that face, the more disgusted she felt.
Lottie really didn’t know what she loved him so much in the first place and had actually wasted six
years of her youth for such a man.
He wasn’t even half as good as Ralph Chapman.
“Lottie Green.”
As there were no lines between them in this scene, so when Luke held Lottie, he lowered his voice and
said, “You did it on purpose just now, didn’t you?”
“You deliberately said that I’m unprofessional because my girlfriend is here, and let those people scold
her.”
Lottie faintly narrowed her eyes and sneered, “Sort of on purpose.”
If Luke hadn’t said he wanted her to be professional at first, then she wouldn’t have deliberately
targeted Isobel.
She wasn’t as vicious as they were. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“I hope you won’t do this next time.”
“Isobel is shy, unlike you don’t care no matter how people talk about you.”
Lottie felt cold as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
Isobel was shy.
Was she shameless then?
Luke’s words were still hurting her so much, “If something like this happens again in the future, then I
will no longer be so kind to you.”
Before Lottie could refute his words, the director had already called for a cut.
“Good job. That’s okay.”
Luke let go of Lottie’s hand indifferently, “Remember what I said.”
Standing still, Lottie looked at Luke’s back as he left, biting on her lips hard.
She had mixed feelings, upset, disappointed, or even heartbroken.
Lottie could find that Luke really cared much about Isobel.
He worried about her, said ruthless words for her, and betrayed Lottie for her.
But Luke had never done any one of these things for Lottie.
She had completely lost in this relationship of six years.
The day’s work was over, and Lottie returned home sullenly.
“Lottie, are you not happy?”
After finishing dinner, Fabian rested his cheeks on both of his hands, blinked his big eyes, and looked
at Lottie’s face seriously, “You only smiled five times tonight, and they were all bitter smiles.”
“You have something on your mind?”
Looking at the little one’s bright eyes, Lottie shook her head helplessly, “I’m fine.”
“No, you’re not fine!”
Fabian pursed his lips, and while he was telling jokes to amuse Lottie, he took out his cellphone and
sent a message to his brother.
“Elijah, something big has happened! Lottie is in a bad mood today!”
Elijah, who was reading a book upstairs, picked up his phone and took a look at it. Then he went
straight to the study.
In the study, Ralph was reading a document seriously with his head down.
Hearing a sound at the door, he raised his head, “Anything?”
“Yes.”
Elijah walked over. He climbed onto the chair with his short legs, then from the chair to the table, and
finally sat directly in front of Ralph and stared straight at him with his wide eyes, “Your wife’s not happy
today.”
Ralph wrinkled his eyebrows, picked up the phone, and dialed a number, “Come to me.”
A minute later, a tall bodyguard knocked on the door and came in warily. He placed a small notebook
on the desk, “This is Mrs. Chapman’s itinerary today.”
Ever since Lottie was kidnapped by Mr. Miller last time, Ralph had asked someone to silently protect
her every day.
Elijah frowned and picked up the small notebook. Then he realized, “Ex-boyfriend and an ex-best friend
showed their love to Lottie.”
“That’s why Lottie is not happy.”
Ralph frowned slightly.
When he was on the set that day, he clearly saw how Lottie faced Luke and Isobel. She had a carefree
look on her face back then.
But why she was annoyed by them again?
Was Luke Berry really so good that she still couldn’t forget him until now?
Ralph tugged his collar in annoyance and lowered his head to continue working.
Elijah snatched the document over, “Mr. Chapman.”
“As a husband, what you should do now is to go and make your wife happy.”
“Instead of working here.”
“You have to know clear about the situation now. You have a lot of money but only one wife.”
Elijah rarely said so many words.
Ralph looked at his earnest little face and smiled, “Since Lottie was married in, you’ve talked a lot
more.”
Elijah was stunned for a bit. He blushed slightly, “Have I?”
“Yeah.”
Ralph’s large hands took the document back nimbly and organized them on the table, “You like her that
much, huh?”
“Yes…”
Elijah pursed his lips and lowered his head, “I also don’t know why.”
“I just think she’s very affectionate and she’s more like a mom than others.”
Ralph sighed, lifted his arms, and carried the little one out of the study, “I’ll go to make her happy now.”
“Okay.”
It was the first time being hugged like this by his dad, and little Elijah’s face blushed to his neck,
“Daddy, I’m very happy that you’re willing to treat her well.”
Ralph laughed helplessly, “Since the two of you like her, then I will follow you as well.”
“She’s my wife. Of course, I should make her happy.”
Ralph went back to the bedroom after sending Elijah back to his room.
In the bedroom, Lottie had her eyes closed and was applying a facial mask while listening to the news
broadcast.
When Ralph entered the room, the radio just so happened to be broadcasting the entertainment
section.
“Mr. Berry, there are endless speculations about your recent romance. May I ask what’s your thought
about it?”
“People all think that it’s Isobel who took advantage of me, but that’s actually not it. We’ve been
together for five years and when she was with me, I was just a nobody…”
“Snap!”
Luke’s interview was just halfway through when a large hand with long and slender knuckles turned the
radio off directly.
Lottie opened her eyes hastily.
In front of her eyes was Ralph who was several times more handsome than Luke.
Ralph wrinkled his eyebrows faintly and looked at her, “You watched them show their love on-site
during the day, and you still want to listen to them showing their love over the broadcast at night?”
“Lottie Green, you just like to abuse yourself, huh?”
