Ch. 2720..2730

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2721-Although she had never interacted with Harmony, there was a strange phenomenon in this circle. It was odd as people working in the entertainment industry had the tendency to hate one another on sight. Arielle found the whole thing outrageous and disgusting.

The female attendant, who was trying the watch on Harmony, was also pleasantly surprised as she took a good look at Harmony. No wonder she found Harmony’s facial features somewhat familiar! So, this was the female artist who had been popular for nearly a year!

Harmony was feeling quite stifled. She removed her mask to reveal her lightly made-up face. She was stunningly beautiful, and it naturally made others envious. She was someone who hailed from a humble background. Yet, she possessed such heavenly looks and a figure that attracted attention no matter where she went.

“Miss Mayo, we’re all done. I’ll start making the watch strap for you now!” The attendant beamed.

At that moment, Arielle immediately interjected rudely, “Wait a minute. I want this watch. Give it to me. I’ll buy it.” Arielle had been waiting for this watch for three months. She hadn’t expected to be one step too late after it finally came to this country. Hence, she genuinely never expected to have it snatched by Harmony.

Could someone like Harmony afford such a watch? Was she pretending to be wealthy beyond her means?

“But… Miss Mayo has already reserved it,” the attendant explained. She couldn’t afford to offend either side. After all, Arielle was a diamond VIP of their store!

“Has she paid for it? As long as she hasn’t paid yet, we can still negotiate,” Arielle said with an unquestionable tone as she looked at Harmony. “Harmony, if you give me this watch, I’ll introduce to you any resources that I have in the future. Deal?” Harmony wasn’t buying it for herself. It was Ezekiel who wanted to buy it. He had chosen this watch to give to the woman he loved. So, she couldn’t back down. She shook her head and said, “I’m sorry. I want this watch.” “Can you afford this watch with your status as a minor artist? Can you display its elegance to its fullest? Others might even think your identity is counterfeit! Give it to me! I’ve been waiting for it for three months,” Arielle mocked.

Her companion chimed in sarcastically, “That’s right! Harmony, one has to have a certain status in order to buy such a gorgeous item. Have you considered whether it suits you? Give it to Arielle!” Harmony turned to the attendant and said, “I’m not giving it up. Please make the watch strap!” Arielle flushed with anger as she hissed, “You… Harmony, don’t you dare provoke me. You know my status in the industry. I’ll use my connections to blacklist you.” “Harmony, you won’t earn much money even if you film a movie. Why bother spending so much on this watch? There are other watches here! Give it to Arielle right now!” “Yeah! You, a lower-tier artist, can’t afford it. So, stop pretending to be rich.” “Harmony, are you going to give it up? If you refuse to do so, you’ll be slighting me. Once you do, you’ll definitely have a hard time in this circle in the future,” Arielle threatened Harmony as she crossed her arms over her chest.

“Yeah! If you can’t afford it, just forget it! You’d better run along and buy something cheaper with the money you actually have!” As the three girls continued to verbally abuse Harmony, they were unaware that a handsome and stony-faced man had already arrived at the door. He had been standing right there as they only hurled insult after insult at her face.

The attendant caught sight of him and wanted to warn these young ladies not to continue being so impolite to Harmony. However, she also wanted to watch the show unfold. So, she pretended to hesitate as she regarded them.

Harmony bit her lip as she wracked her mind to come up with ways to defend herself. Just then, a deep voice came from behind, saying, “Who said she can’t afford it?” Arielle and her two friends immediately turned their heads. Their expressions immediately changed the second they laid their eyes on him. One of them even covered her mouth. Normally, she acted like a refined and delicate lady, especially when facing a handsome man like the one before her. She had always played the persona of a weakling who could do no wrong.

Harmony saw Ezekiel returning, and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had finally returned. Otherwise, she really didn’t know what to do to stop them from getting their hands on this watch.

“Who are you?” Arielle had hidden her previous churlish attitude and donned her elegant facade.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2722-Ezekiel took out his wallet and pulled out a black card before handing it to Harmony. “Take it and swipe it however you like. Buy as many watches as you want.” With that, he picked up his phone. “I’ll make another call.” He was leaving this situation for Harmony to handle herself. As Harmony held Ezekiel’s black card… It truly felt as if her status had suddenly skyrocketed.

She understood his intention. She waved the black card in front of Arielle and asked, “Do you think I can’t afford it?” Then, she turned to the attendant. “Please make the watch strap for me.” “Sure, Miss Mayo. We’ll make it for you right away.” The attendant was also delighted with the turn of events. The way wealthy people argued was truly straight to the point. All it took was one swipe of a black card, and it would shut even the most arrogant rich girls up.

“Can this card be used?” Arielle immediately became suspicious. However, she recognized that this black card wasn’t something anyone could obtain. She wasn’t even qualified to own one despite her family’s wealth.

This was an international card with unlimited spending limits. Hence, it naturally had extremely strict requirements for assets, as procuring such a card required identity verification.

“Arielle, this card seems to be a genuine black card!” Harmony said to the attendant, “Swipe it for Miss Rowland! Let her see whether this is the real deal.” The attendant took the credit card machine, entered the amount, and briskly swiped the card without further ado. It instantly showed the transaction was successful and printed the receipt.

Arielle and her friends were left in shame. They had just been mocking Harmony for being poor. Alas, now they had no choice but to shut their mouths in response.

“Are you satisfied now, Miss Rowland?” Harmony took back the black card and looked up at Arielle.

Arielle was biting her lip in anger. “You… where did you get such a wealthy boyfriend?” “That’s none of your business.” Harmony raised an eyebrow. Still, her sweaty palm that was holding the hand betrayed her anxiety. Dear Lord, take it away from me!

It was her first time seeing a black card, and now she was holding it in her hand.

Even though it was light, she could still feel an imaginary burden falling upon her shoulders like a ton of bricks!

“We’ll see about that! I’ll remember this,” Arielle said as she wanted to give herself an out.

As Arielle flounced off, Harmony felt herself gradually relax. She stepped outside and saw Ezekiel standing there. It was just as she expected. He was not making a call but resting. She walked over and handed him the card, utterly grateful. “Here’s your card. Thank you for helping me out just now.” She extended the black card to him. Alas, the man showed no intention of taking it. Instead, he merely looked at her.

She blinked and wriggled the card before him, saying, “Please keep the card!

It’s too conspicuous.” When Ezekiel saw that she was getting worked up, he finally reached out, took back the card, and said, “Next time you encounter such a situation, just call me.

Don’t let others look down on you anymore.” “It’s okay. This kind of thing isn’t new to me,” Harmony replied casually.

Ezekiel heard her words and felt a pang of heartache. He patted her gently. “I won’t let anyone look down on you like that again.” Harmony was momentarily surprised. Then, she raised her head and smiled at him gratefully. “Thank you. You’ve already helped me a lot.” At that moment, the attendant approached while holding the watch that had been prepared for Harmony. “Miss Mayo, your watch is ready.” Harmony took it, checked it again, and handed it to Ezekiel. “Take it to your friend! I’m sure she’ll love it.” Ezekiel took it and said to her, “Wait here. I’ll have the store deliver it to my friend’s place.” He went back in once he said that. So, Harmony stood by the railing with her mask on and waited for him. After a while, he left the store. They had somehow spent the entire afternoon shopping.

“Mr. Weiss, it’s getting late. Would you like to return?” Harmony asked him.

Ezekiel nodded after glancing at his watch. “Yes. I should go back. I’ll send you home.” She didn’t want to trouble him further. “It’s okay. I’ll take a cab home.”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2723-No way. It’s not safe.” Ezekiel immediately rejected the idea.

“It’ll be fine. It’s very safe,” Harmony said with a wink.

“I’m still worried,” Ezekiel simply replied. Harmony felt a pang of warmth in her heart. Nonetheless, she quickly composed herself as she didn’t want to overthink things and make a fool out of herself.

He had a woman he liked. Every word he said to her only came out of the concern he felt for a friend. She could not allow herself to misinterpret it for something else.

“Okay. Thank you.” She nodded.

She followed Ezekiel to the underground car park and got into the car. He immediately drove straight toward her home. Once she was in the car, she could not help but ask in curiosity, “Mr. Weiss, does the woman you like live in Averna?” Her question caught him off guard, causing him to momentarily freeze in surprise. Then, he smiled and nodded. “Yes. She’s here.” “She has to be a very beautiful and graceful woman.” She could not resist wanting to know more.

“Yes. She’s an elegant beauty with a great figure. Everything about her is perfect,” he answered. Meanwhile, Harmony was already envisioning a beautiful and generous rich young woman. After all, only a woman with those looks and status deserved a man like him.

If given the chance, she truly wanted to see just what the woman he adored looked like, Her home was not far away. So, they soon arrived after a little over 10 minutes. Once she got out of the car, she waved at him. “Bye. Drive safely.” “Bye.” Then, he asked, “Your phone is not on silent mode, is it?” “It’s not. What is it?” “It’s nothing. I just want to make sure you’ll answer calls later.” She was stunned. Was he planning to call her later tonight? Nevertheless, she smiled and said, “Okay. I’ll keep an ear out for my phone. Take care.” It was only then that Ezekiel turned around and drove away. She heaved a small sigh of relief. It had been a great day. Plus, the fact that Ezekiel had helped her deal with Arielle was very satisfying.

Sera called Harmony to ask about her relationship with Ezekiel as soon as she stepped into her home. In a burst of impulsivity, Harmony told her about Ezekiel’s big splurge “It has got to be over three million. Just those 10 sets of accessories plus a watch worth over 400 thousand would equal around two million. I didn’t keep track of everything since he bought clothes as well. Regardless, he really went all out.” “Does this mean Mr. Weiss does have someone he likes? He just hasn’t won her over yet, right?” Sera asked.

“That’s right! I wonder what kind of girl would be so hard for him to win over.” Harmony was dying to know more about this mystery woman.

“Oh, and here I thought you stood a chance.” “Sera, that’s nonsense. How could I possibly be with him? I’m self-aware enough to know that he’s way out of my league. So, I’m being sincere when I say that I wish for him to be able to marry the woman he loves,” Harmony honestly stated.

Harmony curled up on the couch in exhaustion after chatting with Sera about work. However, she could not resist the flicker of joy welling in her heart when she recalled that Ezekiel had dined in her home earlier today. Unfortunately, she had no right to express her happiness, nor did she dare to do so.

That was because he had a woman he liked. Judging from his expenditure today, there was no doubt that he loved her a great deal. Therefore, any feelings she felt for him were doomed to be unrequited. Thus, she had to discreetly work through this alone before misunderstandings occurred and caused him unnecessary trouble.

She shifted into a comfortable sleeping position on the couch, planning to take a nice nap. No-work days were days when she could catch up on her sleep. That was because once filming started, she would have to lead a hectic life where day was night and night was day.

Her mind had taken on a rather fuzzy quality, and she was more than ready to drift off to Lala Land when her phone started ringing, jerking her awake.

Her eyes snapped open as she grabbed her phone to look at the cruel interloper that had interrupted her soon-to-be slumber. When she saw that it was an unknown number, she cautiously answered it, saying, “Hello? Who’s this?” “Miss Mayo, are you home?” “Who are you?” “I’m the courier here to deliver your purchases from our store earlier today.

We’re at your door. Could you sign for the parcels?” Harmony froze. Did she buy something today? Was there anything she had bought online that had yet to arrive? She could not think of anything. Just then, she heard her doorbell ring. Thus, she said into the phone, “Give me a moment.

I’ll be right there.”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2724-Harmony slid her feet into a pair of slippers and peeked out of the door’s peephole. To her surprise, there truly was someone standing out her door.

She opened the door to find four sales associates standing right before her.

They were all holding bags of clothes. The label printed on the bags caused her eyes to go wide. She even recognized the sales associate standing at the head of the group. This was the sales associate who had attended to Ezekiel earlier that day.

“Miss Mayo, please check whether your items are all here. If there are no problems, please sign here.” Harmony was frozen for several long moments before she finally responded faintly, “The clothes are not meant for me. Are you sure you have the right place?” The sales associate smiled. “There’s no mistake. We were instructed to deliver the purchases here. This is the address given to us by the gentleman at noon.” “What? He gave you my address?” Harmony was confused. Had Ezekiel made a mistake? Had he mistakenly written down her address instead of the address of the woman he loved?

“G-Give me a moment. I need to make a call.” Harmony closed the door before dashing over to the couch. She had to inform Ezekiel to make sure the goods were sent to where they were supposed to go.

When she called him, he was in the middle of working in the hotel conference room. He smiled when he saw who was calling. Something interesting was about to happen.

“Hey,” he said, answering the phone.

“Mr. Weiss, it’s me. Did you put down the wrong address for delivery earlier today? You know, when you were shopping? You wrote down my address.” Judging by the way Harmony was speaking, she was clearly panicking.

His smile deepened as he chuckled. “It’s no mistake. Your address is precisely what I meant to write down.” “Huh? Aren’t these meant for the woman you love? Why did you put down my address?” The realization had not hit her just yet.

That was because her mind was stuck on the assumption that Ezekiel had a woman he was deeply in love with. She had also repeatedly told herself that woman could never be her.

“That’s because I bought all of that for you. Accept them,” he said gently in his enchanting voice.

She was so shocked that she accidentally allowed her phone to slip out of her hand and fall to the floor. Her heart raced as she slapped a hand over her mouth. “Mr. Weiss, stop joking around. You spent millions today…” “I never joke around. Harmony, I’ve paid for everything. Please do me the honor by accepting them. I have a meeting to attend. So, I’ll talk to you later.” He ordered her to sign for the gifts without giving her the chance to question him further.

Her mind was filled with white noise for seconds before her rusty brain cells started turning. She finally realized that he had not asked her to try on the clothes because he planned to give the clothes to another woman. Instead, those clothes were meant for her.

The lucky woman he was in love with was actually her.

She felt like her entire body was going numb from shock.

It was her?

He had been very generous when purchasing clothes that day. When he bought jewelry, he bought them in sets of 10. He even bought the latest watch and the measurements… Was that all for her?

She felt like she was going mad.

Yet, when she recalled she had several sales associates waiting outside her door with bags of purchases, she pinched herself and got ready to face the world. Then, she took a deep breath in order to calm herself before opening the door and saying to the sales associates, “Please just put the bags here.” They neatly lined up the bags on the floor. After Harmony signed the delivery slip, she stared at the clothes with wide eyes. These were clothes she could never bring herself to buy, no, not in a million years.

Wait. There were three more clothing brands other than the one that had arrived. There were bags, shoes, jewelry, watches… She hurried over to the couch and frantically dialed Sera’s number.

“Hey.” “Sera, it’s me.” “I know it’s you. Weren’t we just on the phone?” “Sera, major news. Do you know who Mr. Weiss bought everything for?” “What? Have you found out who that mystery woman is already? Tell me. Which lucky woman is it?” Sera was eager to have her curiosity quenched.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2725-Alas, Harmony was far from pleasantly surprised right now. Instead, the surprise was so massive that it had turned into pure shock.

“You would never have guessed it,” Harmony sounded like she was going mad.

“Tell me. I don’t have time to play guessing games.” “It’s me! He bought all that stuff today for me. The address he gave to the shops is mine. He’s giving me everything he bought! Sera, I don’t know what to do.” Harmony was starting to sound less and less coherent.

“What? You lucky girl! You truly have lucked out!” Sera was happy for her.

However, Harmony felt like crying. “Who am I to even accept so many gifts from him? People always say you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you. I’m too scared to accept this. I’m going to send it all back to him. I’m scared that I won’t be able to repay this favor in the future.” There was a very timid look on Harmony’s face as she spoke.

“Silly girl, what nonsense are you spewing? Can’t you see that even if he wants you to pay him back, the payment wouldn’t be money? It would be you! Anyway, if you really think about it, being able to sleep with him is also a form of pleasure.” “Sera, you…” Harmony felt faint upon hearing that.

Nevertheless, that was just how conversations between the two of them went.

There would occasionally be playful jests tossed about as Sera was a 39-yearold woman who liked to make sexual jokes. There was a chance that Sera was doing it on purpose because of how Harmony would react every single time she cracked a joke like that, not because the woman would admit it to Harmony’s face.

“Oh, please. Don’t tell me for a second that you don’t want him!” Sera instantly hit the nail on the head.

Harmony was internally screaming her agreement. Ever since she had gotten to know Ezekiel, she lost track of what self-restraint was. Instead, she would spend all day long thinking of him and lusting after him while acting like a proper lady on the surface. Just then, her phone rang. She had gotten another call. “Sera, I have to get off the phone right now. I have an incoming call.” Harmony answered the call. Her current greatest fear was confirmed as it was from couriers, who were waiting at her door. Since these were personally delivered by these sales associates, the parcels had to be full of expensive luxury goods that could not afford to be damaged in any way.

After she was done accepting the parcels, she received another call in less than 10 minutes. There was yet another batch of parcels for her to sign for. In the end, her nap was interrupted as she had to sign off on the delivery slips from 5.00PM to 6.00PM. Ezekiel had specifically instructed the shops to deliver his purchases during this hour.

Finally, once the watches and jewelry were delivered to her doorstep, she was certain that everything that he had bought earlier that day had been delivered.

The shops even gave her over a dozen samples and gifts that were priceless by themselves.

When she looked at the mountain of goods in her tiny living room, she could feel her jaw hanging. Although they were all costly, their current condition was a little ridiculous. Since it had been an hour, her shock subsided by a smidge as amusement crept in.

As Ezekiel was still in a meeting, she did not dare disturb him. Nonetheless, there were far too many things cluttered around her living room. What was she meant to do with them?

Well, there was the set of jewelry she did not have time to properly admire in the shops. Now, she could take her sweet time to admire them to her heart’s delight.

As for the watch… Considering the fact that it was a model that Arielle was begging for and still failed to get her hands on, Harmony definitely had to properly apprise it in the comfort of her own home. Now, that very watch was strapped on her wrist. It was exquisite, a true masterpiece.

She sighed as her mind ran wild. When it was almost 7.00PM, she finally mustered up the courage to call Ezekiel.

“Hey,” he answered.

“Are you done with your meeting? Can we talk now?” she blurted urgently.

He chuckled upon hearing the pleading tone in her voice. “I’m done. We can talk.” “I don’t know what to do with all the things you’re giving me. If I had known the gifts were for me, I wouldn’t have tried on so many outfits,” she sincerely confessed.

She was completely at a loss for what to do.

“You don’t need to feel weighed down by this. Just accept them. If you want to pay me back, you can invite me over for a few more meals.” “My cooking’s mediocre at best. I know for a fact that it’s not that delicious,” she rebuked. Her cooking was not worth a lot. Judging from his background, he probably had 5-star meals daily.

“I’m happy when I’m with you. That joy is priceless,” he replied.

Her heart violently skipped a beat. Was that true? Was he really that happy when he was with her?

“I don’t have space for all the gifts you’ve given me, though! Why don’t I return some for you? You can give them to someone else,” she suggested.

“I don’t have any other young women I’m close to. Plus, those gifts were chosen just for you. If you don’t have space for them, I’ll just give you a villa.” The way he spoke made it sound like he was just discussing what to eat for his next meal.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2726-What Ezekiel said terrified Harmony, and she hastily rejected the offer. “There’s no need for that! Don’t give me anything. My home has enough space for the gifts. Don’t give me a villa. I won’t accept it anyway.” Her refusal of his offer made Ezekiel grin. She was so adorable.

“Okay. We’ll discuss it another day.” “Not even in the future. I really can’t accept it in good conscience. I don’t even know how to repay you for the gifts you’ve given me today,” she said with her face twisted in frustration.

“I don’t need you to repay me anything,” he replied with a chuckle.

“I want to, though,” she shot back.

“How do you want to repay me then?” He was strangely curious.

She instantly recalled Sera’s comment about giving herself to him. Her face went bright red as she stammered, “I-I don’t know yet.” “Okay. We’ll talk about it once you’ve thought about it. There’s no rush.” He chuckled once more. There was an eager glint shimmering within his eyes.

“Thank you for today.” “There’s no need for formalities between us. I’ll talk to you when I’m free. I have another meeting to attend,” he said as he was still stuck in the conference room.

“Very well. I’ll let you get back to work.” She hung up and sighed as she stared at her phone. The sudden onslaught of ludicrous wealth was making her feel rather faint.

Just as she was about to settle down and relax, her phone rang once more. She turned to look at it, wondering if it was Ezekiel.

It was not. Instead, it was Sera. “Hey, Sera.” “The Apocalypse’ is flying in for their promotional tour. Girl, you’ve been invited to attend with the entire main cast!” “What? Are you serious, Sera?” Harmony was beside herself with excitement. It was a great honor.

“Absolutely. Also, you’re placed quite prominently on the posters. This is just a guess, but I’m guessing Mr. Weiss has dragged the entire cast over for their tour just to promote you.” Harmony was already overwhelmed by all of Ezekiel’s sweet gestures. Hence, she was dumbfounded when she heard that he did this for her as well.

“Just how am I meant to repay him, Sera?” “Honey, it’s real simple. Here’s all you need to do. After this tour, don’t hesitate to put on your best spaghetti-strap dress. Then, knock on his door in the middle of the night. I guarantee that whatever gift you’re planning won’t be able to top that.” “Sera, be serious,” Harmony retorted. “Can we please exercise some restraint?” “If you won’t do it, I will!” “You…” Harmony burst out laughing, utterly exasperated. “Stop fooling around, Sera. Help me think of a plan. I genuinely feel like I owe him way too much.” “Well, it’s up to you. I think Mr. Weiss is only doing this because he likes you. Do I need to tell you what he wants? Reuben didn’t lay a hand on you, right? Be honest with me. Are you still a…” Harmony blushed. She had never discussed this with anyone else before.

Nevertheless, she decided to be frank today. “Yes. I’m still…” “That’s good enough. Give him the best. That is the perfect way to repay him.” As someone who worked in the entertainment industry, Harmony knew full well that many business deals were done just for that thing.

Job opportunities and connections were, frankly speaking, all done for sex. It was just a transaction where the other person’s body was the price.

Naturally, she did not want to think he was that shallow. Yet, she also couldn’t deny that she wouldn’t hesitate if he needed something like that. Right now, she couldn’t help but feel super glad that she had never allowed Reuben to go beyond first base. That sc*mbag didn’t deserve it.

Her decision had allowed her to keep her body for the man she loved in the future. She also knew that repaying a man with sex would make her seem frivolous. So, she was quite stumped.

How else could she make it up to him besides offering herself?

Then again, she would probably want to be kicked off to Mars if he rejected her after she approached him.

“The event is this Saturday. Don’t overthink things. I can feel your brain overcooking. Wrap up this tour before spending your time thinking about this stuff.” “Got it,” Harmony replied.

“The cast and crew think highly of you. So, we need to be well-prepared and not let them down

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2727-Harmony solemnly responded, “I understand. I will. Meanwhile, the media had leaked that the cast and crew of ‘The Apocalypse’ would be flying in on their press tour. Everyone was instantly excited. After all, the show was a worldwide phenomenon.

They were all looking forward to the next season that would be released in the summer holidays. It was a show that billions were eager to watch.

Two days later, the cast of ‘The Apocalypse’ landed in Averna and was swiftly welcomed by passionate fans. The press event was extremely unique as it was an hour-long event in the largest event venue in the city. The event was ticketed in order to control the number of fans allowed in as a crowd control measure.

Even so, the front-row seats were all snatched up by the fans in seconds.

This was the first event that would reveal a new character outside of the main cast. The cast and crew were acting very mysterious, making many journalists wonder if they were stopping in Averna for the first time ever on their promotional tours because there would be a Zoravian actor or actress who would be joining the show.

Just who could it be? Many actresses seized the chance to milk the situation, allowing many media outlets to gain some publicity.

Harmony was invited to the hotel the cast and crew were staying in. The event was very special as every cast member would be attending while dressed as their characters. Her costume was very expensive since it was a custom historical dress that cost 500 thousand to make. Her headdress was similarly costly as genuine diamonds were encrusted on the accessory. It was a very striking outfit.

Combined with her distinctly Eastern beauty that gave her a mystical aura, she was extraordinarily gorgeous.

Thus, Harmony was suddenly thrown into a busy rush. Although she felt a pang of longing for Ezekiel, she knew that someone as busy as he was would never have the time to attend the event.

Alas, she had never been more wrong. Ezekiel had been invited to the show. In fact, he would be seated at the center of the stage.

He did not tell her about it because he wanted to surprise her. He was a man who excelled at creating surprises.

Strangely, he didn’t have the talent for it before meeting Harmony. After he met her, his emotional intelligence seemed to have taken a sudden leap for the heavens. It was so considerable that he had somehow understood that surprises and romantic gestures were something he had to do if he wanted to show his sincerity.

This was a skill that all men instantly grasped the moment they encountered a woman they wanted to cherish and protect.

There were two thousand fans present in the venue, and they hailed from all corners of the world. They were all eagerly waiting to interact with the cast, to personally witness the allure and charm of these superstars.

Catalina was present as well, and she had dragged Reuben along with her. That was because they were both fans of the show. She had used her connections to get her hands on tickets for third-row seats. That would give them a better view of the cast’s interactions with each other.

Of course, several celebrities had snuck in as well. They were all wondering if the additional stop on the tour really meant there would be a Zoravian celebrity in the show.

Just who was it?

Catalina bumped into Sera on her way to the bathroom. Shocked, she called out, “Sera? Why are you here? Is Harmony here as well?” Sera held up her staff card. “I work here.” “Oh? Have you changed to work here instead? Don’t tell me you were hired to be a janitor because of your age,” Cataline said with a mocking cackle.

Sera shook her head. “Your guess is wrong. I may not have done that well for myself, but I’m not that terrible.” “Is Harmony here as well?” Catalina genuinely wanted to know the answer.

“You’ll see her later,” Sera said curtly before walking away.

Catalina huffed in disdain. “I didn’t say I want to see her.” Meanwhile, Harmony was sitting in the dressing room as anxiety started to overwhelm her. It was her first time participating in a promotional event with a top-tier cast, especially when she was practically a nobody next to them. How could she not be nervous?

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2728-Amid her preparations, Harmony meticulously applied her makeup while poring over today’s script. Notably, all her lines were penned in Chinese, and later, when she was on stage, she would have to communicate in Chinese.

Harmony’s greatest fortune stemmed from her hard work in mastering Chinese.

She knew that in this industry, she had to constantly improve herself to achieve better development. Thus, she mastered Chinese proficiency to broaden her acting opportunities. She even invested half a year abroad, immersing herself in intensive language courses to hone her spoken Chinese like a native.

The fruits of her labor were evident now, as she finally found herself in a position to put her linguistic prowess to good use.

Harmony’s gaze occasionally drifted to her phone, yet she hesitated to invite the man she had in mind.

“Hey, Harmony!” A distinctly foreign voice sounded, the owner of which was speaking in a not-so-standard English.

Harmony raised her head and saw the handsome male second lead in his costume greeting her warmly. A smile graced her lips as she reciprocated, “Hey!” “I just picked up an English phrase, and it happens to be your name. It sounds so beautiful,” he remarked.

“Thank you,” Harmony responded, her joy evident. Since they were an onscreen pairing, there would be plenty of interactions between them on stage.

While the male and female leads held perennial popularity, the male second lead was a charming rising star from Moncent, who injected a youthful vibrancy into the narrative.

At the moment, fans outside had eagerly taken their seats, anticipating the upcoming interactions with the main cast.

Meanwhile, amidst the bustling traffic, a young master found himself stuck in the line of cars again. He drove himself here and now could only be patient as he awaited the gradual movement of the congested line.

Ezekiel glanced at his wristwatch and checked the time-2.22PM. The event was scheduled to commence at 2.30PM, so he would inevitably arrive late.

At this moment, a bold attempt to cut in line caught Ezekiel’s attention. Despite his generally affable nature, he wasn’t about to permit such an intrusion now. He immediately pressed the horn firmly, stopping the offender. That man was visibly irritated and rolled down his window, ready to voice his grievances.

As soon as the window went down, he exclaimed, “Why don’t you let me cut in line?” Ezekiel lowered his car window, revealing a face that was both handsome and stern, his intense gaze fixed on the offender. “If you dare to cut in line, you’ll see what happens next.” The moment the driver saw Ezekiel’s appearance and his car, he cowered instantly, hurriedly offering his apologies. “Sorry. I’m truly sorry.” With that, he promptly rolled up the window and reversed the car. Ezekiel observed the movement of the cars ahead starting to move, and a second later, his vehicle surged forward.

Finally, at 2.29PM, Ezekiel arrived, only to find the parking lot packed to capacity. Many cars occupied adjacent spaces, but Ezekiel paid no heed. He found a non-obstructive spot and parked.

After securing the parking space, he snatched up his phone, swiftly exited the car, and headed straight to the venue.

On the way, some female fans were rushing as well. However, when they looked up and caught the sight of the tall man passing by, they couldn’t help but emit hushed exclamations.

Oh my God! Is this some incredibly handsome celebrity?

At 2.30PM, the event unfolded without any suspense. The opening act was a public performance featuring a top-tier singer. Following his mesmerizing vocals, the three directors made their official entrance, accompanied by the host’s fluent opening speech in both English and Chinese.

Subsequently, the male and female leads graced the stage hand in hand, eliciting applause from the audience. After the exchange of pleasantries, the host invited the second team to join them on stage-the four crucial supporting roles for the movie.

All eyes were eagerly fixed on the stage. They were waiting to see the super handsome second male lead who had just joined the production.

Behind the waiting curtain, Harmony was mentally preparing herself. At that very moment, the second male lead took her hand, suggesting, “Let’s walk hand in hand.” Harmony was startled. “Is it okay?” “No problem,” the second male lead answered, and with the host’s words and the sound of music, they walked hand in hand onto the stage.

The audience below, however, was left dumbfounded. What had they just witnessed? A girl, hand in hand with the dashing male co-star! Who was she?

Were their eyes deceiving them? Were they hallucinating?

It turned out to be Harmony Mayo. A wave of astonished murmurs swept through the audience, their voices tinged with disbelief.

“Oh my god! Is that Harmony Mayo?” “It’s really her! Who would have thought she would join this production and play such a crucial supporting role?” The shock resonated deeply with Catalina and Reuben. They were aware that Harmony had spent half a year in Moncent filming, but the revelation of her joining this high-profile project and taking on a key supporting role left them staggered.

“How is this possible? How can it be her?” Catalina clenched her fists tightly, her incredulity apparent. Was Harmony’s life on some kind of extraordinary trajectory?

Reuben, too, couldn’t hide his envy. It seemed that after Harmony parted ways with him, she soared to new heights while he remained stagnant.

“Weiss must be helping her,” Reuben mused. He knew better than anyone about Harmony’s capabilities.

Catalina couldn’t help but feel envious. She wished she could ride on the coattails of someone like Ezekiel.

At that very moment, on the steps in the audience seating area, another figure descended. His gaze, however, was firmly locked on the girl holding hands with the handsome second male lead. She looked breathtaking today, and when she stood with the dashing second male lead, they looked like a perfect couple.

For the first time, Ezekiel felt his heart tighten as if something that was rightfully his was being claimed by another man. The sensation was unpleasant. He chose not to sit in his designated spot. Instead, he settled in a vacant seat nearby and watched her from the audience, not wanting to disrupt the event.

At this moment, the online world was swiftly live streaming this promotional extravaganza, catapulting Harmony once again to the zenith of the trending charts with many close-up shots of her. The spotlight was on the absolute splendor of her-a beauty that was unparalleled and irreplicable.

Though Harmony harbored a touch of nervousness, the charismatic and humorous guidance of the second male lead alleviated her tension. Her performance exuded a natural grace, with the second male lead exhibiting a remarkable attentiveness to her emotions. His gaze, when directed at Harmony, unmistakably bore the hallmark of affection.

A collective sigh of heartbreak echoed through the audience below. Their cherished idol was seemingly enamored with Harmony. Yet, on this day, Harmony’s allure transcended flawlessness-be it in her appearance, physique, or eloquent expression of the Chinese language. Why didn’t they realize before how exceptional she was?

Even Reuben found himself engulfed in regret. How did he overlook Harmony’s potential for such breathtaking beauty? He had once ridiculed her during her diligent Chinese practice, saying, “What’s the use of practicing Chinese? You won’t need it in the future.” Harmony, however, proved otherwise. Her achievements reached far beyond the confines of domestic acclaim. Her career was now ascending to unprecedented heights.

When Catalina turned her head, she noticed that Reuben’s gaze had been fixed on Harmony.

A pang of jealousy surged within her, prompting her to discreetly pinch his leg.

“What are you looking at? Is she that pretty?” Although Catalina harbored no affection for Reuben, she was resolute in disallowing any rekindled interest he might have in Harmony.

“She’s not as pretty as you!” Reuben quickly reassured her.

Yet, the underlying irony of his words was palpable. In the colossal poster unfurling before them, Harmony’s beauty manifested as an ethereal reverie, exhibiting a vintage mystique. The attire she adorned was the dream of countless young girls!

In a secluded corner, Ezekiel’s lips curled up into a smile. However, as he watched the second male lead enthusiastically conversing with and looking affectionately at Harmony, who responded with a sweet smile, Ezekiel’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2730-Upon watching Harmony fix her mesmerizing, crescent-like eyes fixed on another man, Ezekiel felt jealous. He didn’t want others to appreciate the allure of her gaze. Meanwhile, he overheard two guys talking nearby.

“I didn’t expect Harmony to be such a beauty. She’s a goddess!” “I always thought she was stunning. Sigh. I wonder who she’ll end up with in the future.” Ezekiel listened, and suddenly, his heart effortlessly echoed that sentiment.

Me!

Of course, he kept that declaration to himself.

The on-stage interaction was reaching a fever pitch. Fans laughed incessantly, reveling in the proximity to their idols, akin to a scene from a movie. The money they spent felt like a bargain.

Catalina’s face contorted with anger when she heard the fans showering praise on Harmony. It seemed Harmony had triumphed once again, ascending not only in celebrity status but also earning a reputation for her beauty.

Reuben couldn’t tear his gaze away from Harmony, but Catalina could no longer be bothered with him.

As the nearly hour-long interaction neared its end, the fans were reluctant to part ways. Yet, up next was the photo session for lucky fans to get up close with their idols.

Harmony had become a celebrity with tons of male fans, and all of them were vying for a chance to capture a moment with her.

Ezekiel, too, rose to his feet. He strode toward the stage, and at this moment, he unexpectedly caught the director’s eye, who came down from the stage personally to welcome him.

After Harmony posed for photos with two fans, she sensed another presence approaching. The moment she looked up, her heart skipped a beat. It was Ezekiel!

“Miss Mayo, may I have a photo with you?” He grinned.

Harmony nodded with a bashful smile. “Of course!” Without hesitation, she stepped toward him. Ezekiel, more direct than the other fans, extended his arm and pulled her in for the photo. They looked like a perfect match.

“When did you get here? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?” “I got in late, so I snagged a seat in the back,” Ezekiel replied, When he saw Harmony up close, she seemed even more beautiful, causing his heart to flutter.

God knew how elated Harmony felt inside; she was practically on the verge of bursting with happiness. It was as if at every place she wished for him to be, he appeared. This feeling was even more joyful than hitting the jackpot.

Just then, a staff member walked over and said, “Miss Mayo, there are a few fans over there who would love to take a photo with you. Do you mind?” The staff member hesitated.

Harmony looked up and spotted two boys and four girls standing there, all eager to take a photo with her. Naturally, she wouldn’t decline such requests. She nodded, but at that moment, the man beside her suddenly declared, “She can only take photos with girls. No photos with guys, please.” Ezekiel’s voice cut through.

Harmony’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. Then, she saw a hint of jealousy in that man’s eyes. Was she imagining things?

“Okay, I’ll arrange for the girls to come over for photos.” The staff member immediately went over. The disappointed boys were left hanging while the excited girls hurriedly approached.

“Harmony, we love you so much!” “Yes! We’re all huge fans of yours. Taking a photo with you is a dream come true.” As the fans expressed their joy, they took note of Harmony. Just then, someone noticed Ezekiel next to her and curiously asked, “Harmony, is this your boyfriend?” Harmony felt a twinge of embarrassment. “Uh… H-He is…” Before she could elaborate on their relationship, the fans enthusiastically caught on. “Harmony, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Don’t worry! We won’t spill. You’re so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend!” Harmony turned her head, casting an embarrassed glance at Ezekiel. It wasn’t her fault for not clarifying. The fans had misunderstood before she could set things straight.
