She sensed something was amiss and asked, "Arno, have you finished shooting?"
"No, there's a lack of a chemistry between Avery and Sophie, so I asked him to work on it a bit more."
As Arnold explained, he took a glance at Avery by the lake. "Has he ever been in love before?"
Aurelia was silent for a moment before quietly answering, "He had a girlfriend in college. But she broke up with him when he got sick."
Could it be that seeing the lake brought back his memories and made him sad?
She stood up. "I'll go check on him."
Arnold shrugged. "Maybe it's better if I go. Men can communicate with each other more easily."
When he reached the lakeside, Avery had his head down , sighing.
"We're shooting a romantic commercial about destined love and happy unions, and here you're sighing away!" He said with a teasing tone.
"Sorry." Avery scratched his head. It was hard for him to get into the role when thinking about Sophie as his sister's romantic rival.
Arnold put an arm around his shoulder. "Did you... think about your ex-girlfriend?"
Avery was taken aback, shaking his head vigorously. "No. I've long moved on from that."
"Then why did you portray the feeling of heartbroken?" Arnold raised a brow.
It wasn't him who went through heartbreak, it was his sister.
Avery kicked at a pebble, and hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Arno, are you dating Sophie?"
Arnold was shocked. "Who told you that?"
"Someone told my sister." Avery gave the pebble a hard kick into the lake.
