Chapter 311
How time flies!
Winter came in a blink.
When the first snow fell in Anaville.
The filming of “Love in Bitter Winter” finally wrapped up.
In Snowstock, as soon as the director yelled “cut,” Thomas and Theresa, who were in an embrace, quickly separated.
Alice, the character. in the movie, still had tears in his eyes.
But Theresa, out of character, instinctively stepped back.
Suddenly finding his arms Thomas was left momentarily stunned.
empty:
This month, he and Theresa were almost inseparable.
Sometimes, he even had trouble distinguishing between the scenes and reality.
In the movie, the world was bleak, with only the two of them as each other’s salvation.
Though the world outside was harsh, the warmth and tenderness of their nights together were beyond
words.
But a movie was just a movie.
After wrapping up this final scene, was it time for their movie to come to an end?
Thomas felt reluctant. He subconsciously wanted to hold Theresa’s hand.
But Theresa avoided it and said softly, “Thank you for taking care of me during the filming.”

Theresa’s tone was pleasant, but her words confined everything to “during the filming.”
They were a couple, but only within the movie.
But beyond that, they were just acquaintances: nothing more.

Thomas picked up on the underlying meaning in Theresa’s words. His eyes lost a bit of their sparkle, but
he still managed to say, “And thank you for your concern.”
Theresa nodded at him, then turned and walked toward the rest of the crew.
Thomas watched her retreating figure, standing still for a long time.
He rubbed his brow and eyes with a bit of distress.
Honestly, no matter how Theresa treated him, he felt he could accept it.
After all, he had caused so much trouble in the past.
The movie was over at that moment.
But his pursuit was just beginning.
No matter how hard it was this time, he would never give up.
Thomas quickly rejuvenated his spirits, ready for a long–term struggle.
After the wrap party, the crew couldn’t wait to return to Coraland.
These past few months, in order to make a good movie, they mostly turned a blind eye to the outside
world.
Now that the movie was done, they were finally coming out of their shells.
The crew chartered several planes, and everyone headed to the airport together.
As soon as Theresa got off the plane, she started looking around.

“Theresa.” Thomas took a deep breath and approached her, “Is someone picking you up? Do you want
me to…”
He didn’t even finish speaking.
“Theresa.” Not far away, Susan appeared, enthusiastically waving at Theresa.
“Susan.” Theresa’s eyes lit up, ignoring Thomas completely, and ran straight to Susan.
The two girls hugged, laughing and bouncing around in excitement.
Thomas couldn’t help but look at Susan with a bit of melancholy.
However, Susan definitely wouldn’t pay attention to him.
So, he looked mournfully at Ben, who came with Susan.
Ben raised an eyebrow, “What are you looking at me for?”
Thomas exhaled deeply, “Can’t you keep your wife in check? She’s married now, she ought to act with a
bit more decorum.”
Ben glanced at him and said calmly, “She makes her own choices. I don’t tell her what to do.”
Thomas looked visibly frustrated, “You can’t even handle this, Ben? You used to be so assertive and sol in charge. And now you can’t even take charge of your own household? What happened to the decisivel CEO you were known as?”
Ben calmly replied, “Well, well. It seems like when you get married, you’ll definitely be able to control your wife well.”
Thomas replied confidently, “Of course. When I get married, I’ll be the one calling the shots. If I make a decision, there won’t be any room for argument. I’ll ensure that…”
Thomas was boasting enthusiastically.
Suddenly, he saw a smile creep onto Ben’s face.

Thomas felt a sudden chill, a sense of dread creeping over him.
Could it be… he’s been played?
う
Stiffly, Thomas turned his head and saw Susan and Theresa, hand in hand, both looking at him with a barely–there smile.
Thomas was on the verge of losing it.
He blurted out quickly, “Theresa, let me explain…”
Theresa gave him a tight smile, “No need to explain. I never had any intentions of marrying your
anyway.”
Thomas found himself tongue–tied.
A stab of regret for words spoken in haste.
After saying that, Theresa ignored him.
She took Susan’s hand, “Susan, you’ve got to catch me up on everything from the past few months. Your stories are just incredible. I could only call you during shoots, and it always felt so rushed. This time, you have to spill all the details…”
The two girls walked away, chatting intimately.
Thomas and Ben stood in silence.

After a while, Thomas looked at Ben in despair, “Did you do this on purpose?”
Ben, with a poker face, replied, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Originally, Ben was a bit down about Susan being taken away.
But seeing Thomas like this, why did he suddenly feel better?
After looking at him with a mix of disbelief and resignation for a moment, Thomas finally gave a thumbs

up, saying, “Well played.”
“You know how it goes,” Ben replied calmly.
At the café, Susan and Theresa were savoring their desserts and sipping coffee, lost in cheerful conversation.
The two men were completely ignored.
They stared at each other for a while.
Ben calmly sipped his coffee, breaking the silence, “Planning to be a full–time actor?”
Thomas shook his head in horror, “Better not, I’m not cut out for it.”
