Chapter 203

do this part where the soldier is about to leave on a mission, and the female lead bids him farewell.”Emma chortled. “Of course, you’re so confident. You chose the easiest part.”Elspeth smiled without replying. Instead, she walked toward Atlas and asked with a soft voice, “Can we start now?”Although they were the same person, Atlas had a feeling that she had already entered her role at the moment, and even her voice was filled with the meekness of a girl from the ancient past. With that in mind, he nodded in agreement.Elspeth stared at him, her face filled with expectation as she asked, “Cassius, when will you return?”Atlas furrowed his brow and lowered his head, his thoughts unreadable as he explained, “Deidre, you know that a soldier must protect his country…”“Deidre knows that the country is more important to you than Deidre is, but Deidre can’t bear to let you go.”As she spoke, tears began to roll down Elspeth’s face, wetting her shirt.

Your lines were supposed to be ‘I understand. Await my return, and I shall make you my wife then.’ What the heck did you say just now?” The director was unhappy with Atlas’ mistake and frowned.“I’m sorry, director. Miss Lynwood’s acting was so good that I couldn’t hold myself back.” Knowing that his skills were not a match for hers, Atlas rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly.“Please don’t say that. You’re great at acting too, Mr. White.”However, her intention was not to exchange praises with Atlas. She looked at Emma behind her, whose eyes were wide with disbelief.How could it be? How could
