Chapter 1891 Profound Love
Upon hearing that, Maya inquired curiously, “Then, has Mabel been sent to the mental institution? I heard that the patients in there aren’t quite right in the head. Will she really become insane when she comes out?”
At her question, Wilbur sighed. “How I wish that she was really sent to the mental institution! Alas, she still has a son. Nicholas couldn’t possibly do nothing and allow her to be sent away, so he begged my father on his knees to leave his mother a shred of dignity.”
“So, how was she dealt with in the end?” Nicole asked, curious.
“She was sent to the hospital instead of the mental institution to stay with the mentally ill. She’ll be allowed home after two months.”
“After she did such a thing in public, claiming that she suffered a mental breakdown and sending her to the hospital is the best excuse! Your father isn’t wrong to do that either,” Nicole commented.
“Yeah, my father prioritized the Simpson family’s reputation and interests. It wouldn’t look good on the Simpson family if this matter gets blown up.”
“You can relax for a bit during these two months she’s away, and I don’t need to guard against her when I go over to the Simpson residence either!” Maya gushed.
“If only I can figure out a way to ensure that she can never return to the Simpson residence! Then, my family would be more peaceful by half!” Wilbur bemoaned.
“Is there anyone else who has a grudge against you in the family other than her? With her gone, shouldn’t it be completely peaceful?” Maya queried.
“There are still others. Janice and Nicholas are the ones you’re aware of. There are yet others you have no idea about!”
Maya was instantly at a loss for words even as Janice’s countenance materialized in her mind.
Although she has been forced to get engaged with Nicholas, the person she loves is Wilbur. Will she play tricks in order to bag him? As Nicholas’ fiancée, who’s even carrying his child, she has the right to come and go at the Simpson residence. Hence, she’ll have plenty of opportunities if she wants to do something!
Only then did she realize the complexity of the situation in the Simpson family. It was really complicated, unlike the Seet family, which was a harmonious family.
“Maya, I’ll do my best to keep you safe.”
“I believe you. Besides, I’ll also protect myself!”
At that moment, Sheila walked over. “Nicole, Maya, Wilbur, come with me. I’ll bring you all to the audition site.”
“We still need to audition, Aunt Sheila?”
“It’s just a show for formality’s sake. Just consider it as familiarizing yourselves with filming.”
Sheila brought them to the audition site. As the female lead, Maya was the first person to audition.
Despite not having any professional training in acting, she had worked hard to grasp the character’s feelings. For that reason, she immersed herself into the role in no time and put on a convincing act. Sheila and the few other staff members were satisfied.
Wilbur once studied professional acting during university, so he knew how best to carry himself. His performance garnered much praise from a few seasoned directors who came over to join in the fun.
Someone even suggested that he should film two movies at the same time and take on both male leads.
However, Wilbur declined, saying that he wouldn’t act alongside any other woman aside from Maya. If he were to star in a movie, he had an imperative prerequisite—the female lead had to be Maya.
A director lamented that he would miss out on tons of great scripts of value by doing so, but Wilbur merely chuckled and replied, “No matter how great a script is, it’ll never be as important as Maya. She’s the only female lead in my life, and I’ll only act alongside her for the rest of my days!”
When his words rang out, some found it regrettable, while some were moved by his loyalty toward Maya and envied her for having found such a boyfriend.
Sheila eyed them both. “You two are here to put on a public display of affection, huh? Both of you have snatched the limelight today, and it’s just a matter of time before you end up on the trending list!”
“This display of affection is really endearing. Anyway, I’m jealous! Because they’re the male and female leads, I’ve decided to watch this movie!”
“Me, too! It’s not for the sake of the plotline, but to behold the profound love between the male and female leads!”
Similar sentiments sounded one after another, and the scene turned chaotic, with people saying everything under the sun.
A wealth of warmth suffused Maya, and she truly hoped that she could be the female lead of Wilbur’s entire lifetime even as the latter did the same as the only male lead in all her life.
Verily, Nicole was glad on her behalf. Although the Simpson family is complicated, Wilbur’s undivided loyalty and indulgence will undoubtedly bring her happiness!
