"He wanted to cause trouble for me,"
Daryl said in a casual demeanor. "But it doesn't matter now. Lewis helped me."
Upon hearing this, Sofia nodded knowingly. "Perhaps he saw the news about you on the Internet, so he went here."
After she said that, she let out a deep sigh. "That Lewis is quite a righteous man, isn't he?"
"I agree," Daryl said with a smile. "And I do think he's quite simple and cute."
When she heard Daryl's remark, Sofia shook her head. "Although Lewis has just made his debut in the entertainment circle, he's already gaining prestige rapidly, and there's no negative statements about him. But you better keep him at arm's length, and don't blindly trust him."
"Okay, I understand," Daryl said in a slightly tired voice and hugged her. "Sofia, after everything I've been through, I'm glad that I still have you by my side."
"Silly girl."
Sofia patted her shoulder. "You were born to be part of the entertainment circle. I told you when first I saw you. You are destined to be a star that shines brighter than everyone else in the entertainment circle.
Well then, shall we go? I'll drive you home." 'Sure.
After that, the two of them left the set.
On their way to the villa, Sofia suggested, "Actually, I've been wondering if you would consider renting an apartment somewhere nearby. So, whenever the crew is late for filming, you don't have to come back home late at night."
After pondering for a moment, Daryl answered, "Let's talk about it some other time. As of the moment, I don't think I need it."
The main reason she didn't want to get an apartment was because she was afraid that Zack might get angry if he found out. If she was being honest, it was a huge favor that he even married her. To him, she was probably just Benjamin's mother and nothing else.
If she didn't go home at night because of shooting, how would she be able to fulfill her agreement with him?
Knowing that rich people, especially the Ji family, were difficult to talk to, Sofia decided to stop persuading her.
With that thought in mind, she asked tentatively, "Have you suffered any grievances after you married him?"
"No. None that I can think of, at least." Daryl shook her head.
Although Zack appeared to be apathetic and inhuman, she knew in her heart that he treated her well.
"That's good to hear."
In reality, Sofia was just worried that Daryl would get hurt again.
After all, the last time she married into the Lu family, she almost became a complete mess. Upon arrival at the villa, Sofia bade her farewell. "Although the swelling on your face isn't serious, remember not to sleep on that side of your face tonight."
"Okay."
Daryl nodded with a smile.
As soon as Sofia departed, Daryl went back home. "Mommy!"
After Daryl stepped into the living room, Benjamin also returned in less than a minute.
"Bennie!"
Daryl led the little boy to sit on the sofa. Although the two of them just met earlier at noon, it didn't diminish the joy they felt upon seeing each other.
"Mommy, does your face still hurt?"
Benjamin asked as soon as he saw the bruise on her face.
"Mommy's fine now. It doesn't hurt anymore."
With a loving touch, Daryl placed a hand on his little face. "Thank you for avenging me, Bennie."
"You're welcome!" Benjamin patted his chest proudly. "It's my sworn duty to protect you!"
"You're such a good boy."
Daryl felt a warm sensation in her heart. She held him in his arms and kissed his forehead.
'Sir. The servant greeted someone standing at the door. Daryl and Benjamin turned their heads and found that it was Zack.
