How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 266

In the end, it was down to Morwenna and the child star.

With a haughty tone, the child star declared, "I'll go first."

She figured once the celebrated actor Matthew saw her act, there'd be no point in watching anyone else.

Morwenna wasn't fussed about the order; she hardly knew the first thing about acting and had been engrossed in watching Matthew’s performances anyway.

The girl stepped up, her cheeks flushed as she greeted Matthew and chose a scene where the lead couple is deeply in love.

Matthew, for his part, paid a bit more attention this time, sensing that the girl in front of him had some acting chops.

But even with just that slight increase in focus, his intense gaze and deep emotion seemed to throw the girl off her game. She struggled to maintain eye contact with Matthew.

Despite knowing her lines well and delivering a complete performance, it just didn't look right. It gave off the vibe that while the male lead was passionately devoted, the female lead looked as shifty as a thief caught in the act.

After her scene, the girl shot Morwenna a fierce glare and hissed, “Think you’re something special, do you? Let’s see how you embarrass yourself trying to match up with Matthew.”

Morwenna then took the stage with her chosen scene.

She opted for a moment where the leading couple, torn between their love and their duty to their country, are about to head to the front lines, one to a battlefield hospital and the other to the trenches, sharing a poignant journey together.

This scene had minimal dialogue, relying heavily on body language and emotional expression through the eyes to convey the depth of their feelings—a challenging endeavor.

Matthew, internally cursing his brother for dragging him into this, flashed Morwenna a supportive smile from an angle only she could see. He was prepared to help carry her through the scene if need be.

As the scene began, the couple walked together.

Matthew aimed to guide Morwenna into the mood of the scene but noticed, to his surprise, she was already fully immersed.

Could Morwenna be this talented?
