Chapter 1952
Connor prepared to ask Ellen out tomorrow to give her the money and talk about this while he was at it. Meanwhile, in the movie theater…
Having bought the movie tickets, Ellen first went to the movie theater’s lounge area with Jared. They were going to watch a warm and inspirational movie for young people.
Many youngsters came in groups to watch it, and besides, its male protagonist was played by an actor whom Ellen had always liked, which made her especially look forward to the movie.
While waiting for the movie to begin, Ellen picked up the mini poster on the table; a smile couldn’t help but reach her beautiful sparkling eyes as she looked at the handsome lead actor on the poster.
Unbeknownst to her, the man beside her was also looking at her and thus noticed the animated expression on her face. He darted a sidelong glance at the lead actor on the poster, who was indeed pretty good- looking. “Do you like this actor very much?” he asked nonchalantly.
“Uh-huh, I like him very much. He’d just made his debut when I started high school. At the time, he was an unknown little actor, now he’s already one of the top celebrities!” Ellen said, introducing the actor as if she were very proud of him.
Little did she notice that the smile on the face of the man beside her was somewhat strained. “Is that so?”
Ellen replied, “That’s right! He’s not only a good actor but also skilled at singing and dancing. My friends and I even clubbed together to go to his concert when I was at college.” Her eyes shone brightly as she spoke of her idol, as though she were talking about one of the happiest moments of her life.
At this moment, the man’s strained smile vanished. Pressing his tongue against his cheek, he looked askance at the lead actor on the poster, as if a hint of jealousy had surged up within him without rhyme or reason.
