Miss, My Father loves you
Chapter 39 Aunt Lucy

"Thanks,

Bennie."

Daryl felt like the softest spot in her heart was touched. She realized that she was both unfortunate and lucky that God took Sam away from her, but gave her Benjamin instead. Maybe this was what people meant by the saying "When God closes a door, he opens a window."

After a while of hugging her, Benjamin frowned and said, "Mommy, why did you eat the crew's packed lunch?

This kind of lunch isn't delicious or nutritious! You can't eat this again in the future. We should go out and eat somewhere else instead!"

"No, thanks. I'm good."

Holding the little boy's hand, Daryl smiled at him. "Benny, Mommy is used to the food. It's not a big deal, so don't worry too much.

I'm happy enough that you visited me."

Upon hearing this, Benjamin decided not to persuade her anymore. However, at the back of his mind, he kept thinking of ways to prevent his mother from eating the crew's packed lunch. "Mommy, let me see your face."

Noticing that she had applied the ointment on her face, the little boy gently touched the area around the medicine. "Does it still hurt?"

No, it doesn't. Daryl comforted the child by placing a hand on his head. "It's all just part of the act."

She wondered how Benjamin knew that she had gotten slapped. She had already applied ointment on it. Was it still that obvious?

Benjamin leaned closer and whispered to her ear, "Mommy, I'm going to do something in the crew later.

For the time being, you should pretend like you don't know who I am."

"Bennie, what are you planning to do?" Daryl asked in confusion.

"You don't need to worry about it, Mommy. Daddy has already agreed to this!"

"Okay, fine."

Daryl had no idea what the little boy was planning to do, but since Zack authorized it, she had nothing left to say.

Standing not far away from them was Dillon, breaking in a cold sweat. 'Bennie, you were lying. Your father doesn't know you skipped school and came to the shooting.'

Daryl didn't finish the rest of her lunch. Not long after, the crew started preparing for the afternoon scenes.

When Daryl and Sofia rendezvoused with the others, Sadie had already left. There was another assistant around Lucy.

Benjamin appeared out of the blue, and the film producer, Steve Lin, immediately approached him.

The producer was in charge of the movie, Queen of Charm. In addition, Vivian was not the original director of the movie. In a manner of speaking, she also had no choice but to listen to the producer. "Mr. Ji, what brings you here?"

After hearing the news of Benjamin's arrival, Steve immediately came to him. He had been preoccupied by something else, and didn't know what had happened earlier.

"I'm just checking on the progress of this movie for my daddy."

Benjamin was standing not far away from the stage, bearing an innocent expression as he read the script given to him by Dillon.

"Why is there a slapping scene added to the script?"

he asked, pointing at one part of the script.

When he heard the little boy's question, the producer took the script that his subordinate was holding and read it. He felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest when he saw what Benjamin was pointing at.

After Daryl took the third supporting female, they were given instructions not to pay special attention to her. They just asked her to join the filming without caring about anything else.

The original intention was not to give her special care.

But Steve had never expected that something like this would happen under his watch. He had initially pegged Vivian as an impartial and strict director, who treated actors fairly. Something like this happening to his set was beyond his imagination.

"Mr. Ji, perhaps the scriptwriter isn't sensible enough..." Steve was fumbling for a reason to explain what happened, but all he could do was blame it on the scriptwriter.

"Is that so?"

Benjamin snorted. "In that case, you can tell the scriptwriter to exchange this scene. The second supporting female slapped the innocent maid without authorization from the emperor. How do you think she can get out of the imperial palace in safety?" "Right away. I'll tell the scriptwriter to revise this scene."

Afterwards, Steve hurriedly told his subordinate to find the scriptwriter to revise the script once more.

At this time, Lucy had just finished with her makeup and came out of the dressing room. As soon as she got out, she noticed that there was a large crowd gathering around Benjamin.

A mischievous light glinted through her eyes as she approached him.

"Benjamin, do you still remember who I am?"

Lucy wanted to speak to Benjamin, but his bodyguards stopped her. Even so, she still greeted him regardless of how she would appear.

Benjamin heard her greeting and raised his little hand, signaling to the bodyguards to disperse. Afterwards, Lucy walked towards him in delight.

"Benjamin, do you still remember me? It's me, Lucy. I went to your family's banquet last time."

Upon hearing her, Benjamin glanced at her and smiled. "Oh, Aunt Lucy!"

The little guy called her Aunt Lucy, which made her feel like an old woman. She felt mildly abashed, but she quickly concealed it. "So, what are you doing here, Benjamin?"

Lucy asked, pretending like she was close to him. "Are you also interested in acting?"

In a cold and unrelenting tone contrasting his age, Benjamin said, "Didn't you know that my daddy is the biggest investor of this film?"

"Of course, I do!

Your cousin is also an investor of this play. I just didn't expect that you'd come here," Lucy answered with a smile.

"I'm just here to check the progress of the movie on behalf of my daddy,"

Benjamin said in a low voice. "I heard that you are quite a serious actress. They say that you never use a body double. Even if the scene involves a serious beating, you still don't use a body double. Is any of that true?" "That's right!"

Lucy felt proud of his praise and it made her smile. "Perhaps you don't know about this yet, but it's proof of our skills as professional actors."

"I see!"

Benjamin nodded eagerly. "Then I guess I won't have to leave so soon today. I'm interested in watching how you perform."

"No problem!"

This was exactly what Lucy wanted to hear from Benjamin. Then, she asked him in a flattering tone, "Benjamin, do you want something to drink? I can ask my assistant to fetch it for you. Or maybe you want something to eat?" Benjamin refused. He touched his chin and said, "Aunt Lucy, you'd better get ready first. I guess you're scene is coming up soon."

"Okay, I'll go and get ready at once!"

Feeling excited, Lucy went back to her assistant. This time, she had to behave well in front of the child.

If she could curry favor with Benjamin, she would have an even better chance of marrying into the Huangfu family!
