The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 491

Avery blinked as if a thought had just struck him. "How well do you know Hyvin?" He asked in a deep voice.

"We met a few times backstage when we were all on that reality show years ago," Leah replied.

Avery lifted his hand and tousled her hair. "The world of showbiz is a mixed bag. Don't get too close to other male actors. If you want to make friends, let me vet them first, okay?"

"Okay." Leah pouted.

Aurelia, standing at the doorway, took in the scene, deliberately refraining from entering so as not to interrupt them.

"Leah, remember not to let your wounded knee get wet. It could get infected."

Leah scratched her head. "Aurelia, where's William?"

"He's playing with the other child actors next door." Aurelia offered with a smile.

After Avery finished his makeup, he left for the set.

Aurelia and Leah sat in the relaxation area. Avery came over again to remind Leah, "If your knee hurts, go rest in the trailer."

"Okay." Leah nodded, "Don't worry about me, Avery. I can take care of myself. Just focus on your acting."

Once he left, Leah sighed. "Avery always treats me as a little girl."

Aurelia chuckled lightly. "He doesn't treat you as a little girl, Leah. He's just showing his concern for you. Don't you want him to care about you?"

Leah's cheeks flushed. She didn't want Avery to take her as a little girl but wanted him to see her as a woman.

Aurelia patted Leah's hand. "If a man cares about you, it means you're important to him."

Leah's bright eyes sparkled like ignited stars. "Really?"

"Avery isn't so tender and thoughtful to everyone. He only cares for those he treasures. Look how careful he is when he's with other female co-stars."

Leah flicked away a stray lock of hair. "Avery sees me like a sister."

Aurelia giggled. "Silly girl, you're not his real sister. Things can change. You're both still young, so no need to rush. Let nature take its course."

Her words caused ripples in Leah's heart.
