Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 203

had been looked down upon, the director grew upset.Upon hearing the dispute between the two, the male lead walked over and looked at Elspeth with a gentle smile. The girl in front of him emitted an air of confidence, and it was much more reassuring than Emma’s pomposity. In fact, he was rather looking forward to Elspeth’s performance.“Hello. I’m the male lead of this drama, Atlas White.”Elspeth recognized him; he was an up-and-coming award-winning actor who was on par with Blake.“Let’s start, then.” She reached out and took the script, flipping a page before she decided on a scene.“Let’s 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.

One, for you to have a long life; two, for your name to spread across lands; and three, that Cassius won’t forget about Deidre, that we will one day meet again.” These words and Elspeth’s tear-ridden face made Atlas step forward and wrap his arms around her waist immediately. “I won’t leave anymore. I’ll stay, even if I have to give up my name!”Elspeth slowly pushed him away, her expression returning to normal and even carrying a hint of a smile as she said, “Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. White.”The sight was a feast for the eyes, and none of them was able to extract themselves from the farewell they had just witnessed.“Cut!” The director was the first to return to his senses and called for a halt.As if awakening from a long slumber, Atlas realized what he had just said and done, and he immediately flushed red.“Atlas, what’s wrong with you?
