Weston was already forty-five years old that year and had been the host and director of the kids' channel for ten years. He thought he would be spending the rest of his life in that manner.
Little did he anticipate this Myles-related incident to happen.
What was even more unexpected was Donald's decision to let him take charge of the most popular show on Pollerton TV Station.
Weston vaguely felt his long-awaited opportunity had arrived.
In truth, he possessed all the qualities a mature director should have. What he lacked were merely a chance and a sponsor's trust.
After saying that, Weston gazed at Donald nervously.
Donald's subsequent reply would determine whether Weston would remain an average Joe or attain great success in the second half of his life.
“I think your idea is great. Let's do as you suggested.”
He agreed!
Weston said to Donald in excitement, “Don't worry, Mr. Campbell. I'll do my best!”
Donald's affirmation invigorated Weston, prompting the latter to adjust and amend the show's content and arrangements immediately.
Donald glanced at his watch and noticed it was getting late, so he bid Weston farewell and drove home.
The couple couldn't return to their marital residence as they sold the house because Jennifer didn't want to see Leonard and Linda again after they thoroughly broke her heart.
As a result, Jennifer and Donald temporarily stayed inside a condominium they rented under the company's name. Hence, the environment there wasn't as conducive.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Jennifer sitting on the couch with her laptop in hand. She appeared as cute as a bunny in her pink pajamas.
“You're back. How did the candidate selection go? Are they pretty?”
“They will never be as beautiful as my wife, no matter how gorgeous they are.”
He smiled faintly and leaned forward to kiss her.
