The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 253

With a red rim around her eyes, Penelope grabbed the man's arm tightly, "Lucian, if I did something wrong, you gotta tell me. I don't get why you've been avoiding me since coming back from Pearl Island."

"Penelope, what you need to do now is take care of yourself. Don't overthink."

"Lucian, I received a script a few days ago. Seems like it's funded by Epic Entertainment, a subsidiary of Lindberg Corporation. It has a role of a pregnant woman; I'm thinking about auditioning."

Lucian frowned, "Audition? You want to get into the showbiz?"

"Lucian, I think I can nail this role. I'm playing a pregnant woman. I know how to take care of the baby. Besides, I graduated from a media school."

Although Penelope rarely attended classes.

Lucian didn't interfere too much, "It's your call."

Penelope rested her head on his chest, "Lucian, the baby is almost five months along. When the baby is born, we'll be a happy family."

Lucian's expression was complicated, as if he didn't look forward to this baby. He felt like something was stuck in his chest. At the moment, they had reached the place where Allison used to live. He looked at the branches of the cherry blossom tree poking out from the wall.

It wasn't the season for cherry blossoms, so the branches were bare. The last time he came, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

...

Penelope didn't just suddenly want to act; she had planned it for a long time. She had a good friend in the entertainment industry. Her friend's family had invested in several TV shows, and her friend's career was quite successful.

Of course, Penelope was a bit jealous, who didn’t want to be in the spotlight?

Every time she saw Nanette shining under the lights, becoming the center of attention, she was filled with envy and jealousy.

Nanette came from a wealthy family, her dad a real estate tycoon, but she was doing incredibly well in the entertainment industry, even the internationally famous director, Nelson, respected her a lot. She made billions just from endorsements every year, always the first to wear new luxury fashion items.
