Chapter 510 Aurelia took William to the set of Blue Lightning Strikes, and as soon as Nellie saw them, she ran over with an excited smile.
"William!" She was a quick-witted little girl, far more mature than the average child her age, which was why the director had chosen her to be Avery's young co-star.
“Guess what, Nellie? There's a really pretty girl on set today. She's as pretty as an angel.” William's long, mischievous lashes fluttered like a butterfly's wings.
"Where?" Nellie asked, looking around curiously.
“Look to your left,” William instructed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNellie turned her head, "Where? | don't see her.
“Alittle more to the left,” William said, a mysterious smile on his face.
Nellie shifted her gaze further to the left, and all she saw was a mirror reflecting her pretty face.
She paused for a moment, her lips slowly curving into a brilliant smile that lit up her little face. Then, she threw her arms around William's neck and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Aurelia was helpless.
William was a natural charmer. This was definitely not something he had inherited from Leopold, who was a cold fish. Nor was it something he'd learned from Arnold. So William was simply born with it.
Could it be a case of skipping a generation? Mr. Chad was the ultimate heartbreaker. Tall, handsome, and charming, he had once been the object of countless young girls’ affections and had broken many hearts.
The mother of his second son had fallen into a deep depression after he'd left her for Magnolia. And it was just the tip of the iceberg. Rumor had it that the number of women who had either ended their lives or gone insane after being discarded by him was in the triple digits.
Nevertheless, Aurelia was certain that William would never become a scoundrel like Mr. Chad. After all, his moral compass was intact. He didn't forget his old friends when he made new ones. Every week, he video-chatted with his buddies from Goldstone.
Avery arrived, his makeup freshly done.
"William, are you here to visit me on set, or to visit Nellie?” he asked.
William stuck out his tongue, "Uncle Avery, I'm here for Nellie. It's her birthday today." Avery put on a sad face, shaking his head, "Boys will be boys. Once you get a good friend, you forget about your poor uncle.” William smirked and patted his arm, “Being a star is tough. Can't even hold a girl's hand without becoming a trending topic the next day, right?" Avery was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNellie giggled behind her hand, "I saw Avery holding Leah's hand." “Leah is his sister. We're family, and all the fans know that; William replied, changing the tone of his voice, “But | do hope he'd make Leah his wife. She is pretty nice.
Avery held his forehead, muttering to himself, "Out of the mouths of babes" Nellie's mom approached them, greeting them warmly. She was thrilled that Nellie had become friends with the young master from the Hawthorne family. If Avery could give Nellie help in the future, her future in the entertainment industry would be smooth sailing.
“Nellie, you've got a piano competition coming up in a few days. Would you like to invite William to watch?" Nellie nodded, "Of course. I've already asked him." William took her hand, "The filming is about to start. Let's go over the script one more time." “Okay.” The two of them went off to a shady spot.
Nellie's mom watched them go, her eyes squinted in a smile as she imagined a future of these childhood sweethearts.
The film crew had arranged a special birthday cake for Nellie.
After the day's main scenes were shot, the crew brought out a three-tiered cake.
The birthday celebration would be filmed and included in the behind-the-scenes footage.
