Chapter 123
Happiness seemed contagious.
Watching her mother’s joyful smile, Stacey felt happiness well up inside her, too. She nodded. “Alright.”
The next day, Debra, together with the two babies and the nanny, flew straight to the Aotori shooting base to reunite with Stacey.
Stacey saw Lily and Kev again. The two little ones, had missed their mother dearly. As soon as they saw her, they toddled over. Each baby hugged each of her legs, and in an instant, Stacey had two little cuties clinging to her.
“Mom,” Lily said and looked up at her mother. Her words were much more fluent now, and she was no longer stuttering.
“Mom,” Kev echoed in his soft, sweet voice, which was quieter than his sister’s energetic tone.
Stacey bent down and scooped the little ones up, giving them kisses. They were just too adorable.
“Lily, Kev, I love you.” Stacey nuzzled their soft cheeks, enjoying the closeness with her babies.
“Ah… Mom.” Lily blinked, her babyish voice suddenly stuttering again as she tried to speak.
Stacey was stunned, and then her eyes lit up with surprise. “Lily, what did you just say?”
But Lily didn’t repeat herself. Instead, she stretched out her chubby arms, hugged her mother’s neck happily, and demanded, “Hug.”
Hearing the word “hug“, Kev also became excited, immediately extending his soft little hands to embrace his mother, cheerfully shouting, “Hug.”
Stacey’s heart melted. How could her two babies be so adorable?
Unfortunately, she couldn’t lift both little ones at the same time.
Yet, she still held them both in her arms, feeling utterly joyful and full of love for her babies.

Their mother held them, and although it wasn’t quite as they had imagined, Lily and Key were still delighted. The two little ones eagerly extended their tiny hands to embrace their mother, showing how much they loved her.

After a thorough explanation, he included. “Becky, do you have the contact for the director of this production? Give it to the, and I’ll discuss it with her.”

“Even Charlie’s contract was negotiated by gue,” Adrian added, clarifying

Although Vicky had mentally prepared herself, knowing that the previous contract had issues, her heart still pounded with nerves when the lawyer of the Carter family approached her.
After all, it was Adrian, the eldest son of the Carters.
Vicky had anticipated a lengthy negotiation, but to her surprise, it took just ten minutes.
Essentially, Adrian pointed out what was wrong with the contract and how it needed to be amended, and she, feeling somewhat dazed, kept agreeing to all his suggestions.
In the end, Adrian sent her a revised contract and told her to review it. If she had no objections, they could proceed with the signing.
As the conversation wrapped up, Vicky’s mind suddenly cleared a bit. She wanted to protest that this revised contract was too generous. The terms were akin to those of an award–winning actor like Charlie, while Becky was just a newcomer. How could she receive such favorable treatment?
However, she quickly recalled Becky’s impressive performance during the audition.
