Chapter 17
Though harsh, it felt satisfying
After all, Leo was a bit too much just now, he didn’t even show Lucy basic respect.
Plus, judging from their conversation, Demi couldn’t help but feel that these people have a more complicated relationship than it seems.
However, they didn’t continue discussing this in the live stream and changed the topic instead.
“Lucy, shall we continue weaving? Even though I’m all thumbs, I still want to give it another try to see if I can succeed,” Demi said,
“Sure,” Lucy smiled and said, “Let’s continue”
Harmony was restored in the courtyard, but the love stream comments section was a battlefield.
Π
What’s wrong with Lucy? Not only did she insult my Leo, but she also snapped at Mr. Bailey, who was just being fairt is she losing it?
So rude! No respect for her seniors, how annoying!|
But she won’t let it go, how disgusting!
Leo was just worried about his sister, so he got a little anxious. But
Lucy, go die! Lucy, go diel Lucy, go die!
I totally agreel Mr. Bailey should cut ties with her! A traitor like her doesn’t deserve to be his friend):
I bet she’s trying to stir up controversy!]
[She’s probably trying to play hard to get, using a ne
new way to catch Leo and Mr. Bailey’s attention! What a fool!
Some were hurling insults, while others opposed them.
[I can’t agree with what these Leo fans and the actor’s fans are saying].
[Exactly! Leo was the one with the bad attitude first is rejecting him wrong?]
I think so too if you flirt first, you deserve to be shut down!
[i support standing firm. The world doesn’t revolve around Leo. Why should everyone cater to what he says?]
[She shut him down perfectly! Leo, Ashley, and Cohen were left speechless
[Lucy never relied on Mr. Bailey in the first place, so stop calling her a traitor, If anything, he was the one being blased
[If you can’t tell right from wrong, cutting ties is justified! Imagine if I got bullied and my friend took the other person’s side. I’d explode!]
[Exactly! Just thinking about it makes me mad!]
I find something odd about their relationship. It’s like there’s more going on between them.]
Gracie was so quick to drag her brother away. Seems like she’s trying to cover something up
[I feel like they’ve known each other well for a long time. That’s why Leo acted so entitled when bossing Lucy around“]
But it’s obvious Lucy doesnt want to deal with them at all
They started it, and now the fans, Leo’s and the actor’s, are being way too hypocritical]
By the way, doesn’t anyone else think that the relationship between the siblings is a little too much?]
I think so tool Holding hands is one thing, but all that hugging and snuggling? Come on, they’re adults!]
I’m close with my brother too, but we still keep our boundaries. This is too much
[They don’t look like siblings, more like a couple
The topic started to go off the rails, with more people joining in, and more attention focused on the way Leo and his sister interacted
In the kitchen, Gracie, despite her aching hands, managed to cook four dishes. She set aside some to give to the crew to change their bedding
The test they ate together
The first dish was burnt, but she put extra effort into plating the other three, and they actually looked decent
So, after Ashley and Cohen tried the food, they showered her with praise.
cam comments were also filled with compliments, calling Oracle capable and sweet.
Sasha tried some too and almost spat it out
She forced herself to compliment the food but couldn’t help glancing at the two, not understanding how they could lie with a straight face.
The food was either too salty or undercooked, yet they praised it to the skies.
They were being way too nice to Gracie, almost excessively so.
Sasha was secretly jealous to death.
As night fell, the lights came on.
Lucy and the others were still busy in the courtyard. Demi hadn’t quite gotten the hang of it in the afternoon, but by evening, she was finally getting the feel for it and making progress
Her speed was slow, but there was definite improvement
The two men tried again and failed, so they just helped out by fetching water and beating it op for the ladies.
Lucy was fast. After finishing the basket, she went on to weave a straw hat:
Time passed, and by the end, she had made three straw hats, and Demi’s hat was finally completed as well.
Back in the room, Demi was looking at herself in the mirror while wearing the straw hat she had woven
“Lucy, look! Does it look good?”
́“11 looks great,” Lucy said with a smile.
Demi was especially happy and felt a great sense of accomplishment for successfully weaving the straw hat herself
11 took me three or four hours to weave just this one. It wasn’t easy at all,” Lucy said with admiration. “You managed to weave everything in such a short time, I’m really impressed.”
Lucy smiled but didn’t explain further
She had worked in a small world where she did this kind of work daily, becoming proficient over time
She glanced at the time- it was nearly nine o’clock
The two took turns freshening up and getting ready for bed.
The live stream had ended at 8.30 PM and would resume the next morning at 7:30 AM.
After taking their baths, Lucy and Demi were about to head back to their room when Cohen stopped them in their tracks.
“Lucy, can we talk privately?”
Lucy planced at him. Tve already said everything that needs to be said. There’s nothing more to discuss between us.
Do we really have to make it like this?” Cohen frowned. “You misunderstand me, and I want to clear things up.”
He and Grace weren’t that kind of relationship, she had misunderstood.
He believed that once he explained, given her feelings for him, she would understand, admit she was wrong, and take back what she’d said about breaking
“There’s nothing you need to explain to me, because there’s nothing between us. I’m not interested in the affairs of strangers.”
With that. Lucy picked up her basin and left
Cohen hadn’t expected her to be so unyielding and instinctively reached out to grab her arm
But Lucy swiftly dodged his movement, her face cold as ice. “Mr. Bailey, please show some respecti
After delivering her remark, she left with Demi looking utterly disgusted by him.
Cohen clenched his fists, but with Demi present, he couldn’t forcefully stop her.
Watching Lucy’s completely indifferent back, a strange pang of pain arose in his heart, tightening his chest
Could Lucy really be serious about breaking up?
For the first time, he felt a bit panicked.
Demi, who had witnessed the whole thing, was surprised. The undine rumors were all fal
It wasn’t that Lucy was clinging to Mr. Bailey and refusing to let go, but rather Mr. Bailey was the one approaching her, and Lucy was doing everything to
So, online words can’t be trusted,
Back in the room, Lucy didn’t bring it up, and Demi respected her privacy by not asking
The night passed dreamlessly
Early the next morning, Lucy got up and practiced a
in the yard
As she finished the last sequence, the film crew arrived at the yard
