The vendor looked apologetic. "Sorry, miss, there's only one bag left."
"One's fine."
After paying for her chestnuts, Aria turned around, just in time to see Willie hurrying toward a girl who was also wearing a face mask.
Normally, Aria might not have recognized Tina.
But after overhearing Willie's phone call mentioning a top-tier superstar, she connected the dots.
Tina also spotted Aria. Her eyes widened in panic.
"Babe..." Willie called out playfully, pulling her into a tight embrace.
Tina reassured herself that Aria probably hadn't recognized her.
She quickly looked away, grabbed Willie, and pulled him along. "Come on, let's go now!"
Willie teased, "Babe, this is the first time you've ever taken my hand like this."
"Tina!"
A familiar, sharp voice cut through from behind.
Tina froze in despair before turning around. "What are you doing here?" she snapped.
Willie stiffened, glancing between them in surprise. "Wait... you two know each other?"
Willie shot Aria a series of desperate looks, silently begging her not to mention that he'd saved her number.
Aria pretended not to notice Willie's signals and, with a hint of mischief, asked, "So, is he your boyfriend?"
Tina recoiled as if burned, instantly dropping Willie's arm. "No."
Aria said with a smirk, "I heard him call you 'babe'."
Tina shot her a cold look and snapped, "Pretend you didn't hear that. You got divorced at just twenty-three, so why can't I date at twenty-six?"
Aria scoffed, "Sure, you can date... but honestly, your taste in men is awful!"
She raised an eyebrow with a smirk and teased, "So, are you two having a secret relationship?"
Tina jutted her chin. "So what if we are?"
Aria hefted the sugar-roasted chestnuts in her hand and grinned. "Give me the chestnuts. Think of it as hush money."
Tina stared. "What? But you already got yours!"
"One bag's not enough for me."
Tina was fuming. Today was her birthday, and the sugar-roasted chestnuts from this shop were all she'd been craving. Shooting Aria a venomous glare, she snatched the bag from Willie's hands and stormed toward her.
"You took my chestnuts. Now keep your mouth shut."
Aria took the bag with a smirk. "I get it. It's hard for you to show him off, huh?"
Tina bit her lip in fury and shot back, "Oh come on, like your ex-husband was any better?"
"Not much to show off, but still a bit more decent than your guy."
Tina frowned sharply. "What do you mean?"
Aria whispered, "Your guy said he was going to secretly take photos of you so others could feast their eyes on a top celebrity's figure."
Tina's expression changed in an instant.
Aria brushed past her, flagged down two taxis, and left without looking back.
Tina shot Willie a dark look and demanded, "Did you two just talk?"
Willie's heart skipped a beat. "Just exchanged a few words, that's all."
"Babe, let's get out of here."
Tina wasn't that into Willie.
She was filming a rom-com drama, and the director criticized her for "delivering lines like a robot," with no sense of being in love.
After Willie had pursued her for a year, she agreed to date him, hoping it would help her get into character.
She had confessed to Willie the reason she agreed to him, and he said he wouldn't mind.
Tina seethed inwardly, 'If what Aria said is true, I'll make him pay!'
"Fine, let's go," Tina said, her eyes glinting with suspicion.
Tina narrowed her eyes and thought, 'Let's see how he dares to take those sneaky photos.'
Film Studio.
As soon as Aria stepped out of the taxi, she caught sight of Owen standing by the studio entrance.
Owen stood by the entrance, his eyes glued to his phone, a troubled look flickering across his face.
Aria walked over and said, "Owen."
As he looked up, a glimmer flickered in his eyes, but it was instantly replaced by apology.
Aria blinked. She wondered if she had seen it wrong.
Thinking of the string of misunderstandings, the doubts buried deep in her heart surfaced once again.
