"Whenever a man and a woman argue, regardless of who's at fault, the man should be the one to break the ice."
"Why is that?"
"Because you're a man, how can you quarrel with a girl? What women often want is an attitude. As long as you make her feel loved, she'll be happy."
Leopold frowned instinctively.
Was that cunning vixen waiting for him to make the first move? Was she testing his attitude?
She was playing a deep game, but she would only be disappointed. How could he possibly care for her?
At Sunbeam Retreat.
After dinner, the four of them sat on the couch, eating fruits while watching "Dream for Young."
Since its premiere, Avery's popularity had been skyrocketing, and he was getting more and more screen time.
The entertainment world was ruthlessly realistic. Everything was determined by popularity.
Arnold took a bite out of an apple and whispered, "I received news yesterday. Cassie broke her leg during training. Carme Entertainment is arranging for a newcomer to replace her, a girl named Bonnie."
"What? Bonnie?" Jolin and Aurelia exclaimed in surprise, almost simultaneously.
Arnold blinked, "You know her?"
Aurelia glanced at her brother, Avery, whose expression darkened slightly. He bit into a slice of orange, staying silent.
She sighed lightly, "Bonnie is Avery's ex-girlfriend."
Jolin scowled at the mention of Bonnie, her anger palpable, "She left Avery when he was seriously ill. Didn't even bother to visit him."
Arnold put an arm around Avery, "Can you handle her?"
"I'm fine," Avery forced a smile, "I've moved on from the past."
"Avoid any unnecessary interaction with her during the next recording. We don't want any unnecessary rumors or for her to take advantage of your fame," Aurelia advised.
