Chapter 923

It was only then Barbara remembered Helios had said he would be coming to see her tonight. However,
she did not expect him to come to her at this hour.

‘Doesn’t he think it’s a little bit too late now?

When Helios smelled the food from inside, he frowned. “You’re not eating at this hour again, are you?”
Barbara scratched her neck in embarrassment and said, “Well, I’m hungry. Do you want some?”

When Helios walked into her house, Barbara wanted to bite her tongue off.

“How could I let a man into my house at this late hour?’

Looking at the food and the few cans of beer on the table, Helios asked, “Are you drinking beer?”
Barbara came to a sudden stop when she heard what Helios said. She quickly kept the beer cans away
and said, “Nope, nope. I’m not going to drink them. I’m just stocking them up.”

“Well, this is your house, so if you want to drink a few beers, you can just drink them,” Helios said as he
sat on the couch.

Barbara was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Barbara drank the beer in the end. Both of them picked up a can and clinked them.

“Aren’t you going to make a new movie?” Barbara asked.

“Yeah,” Helios replied plainly, “I just discussed the script with the director today, and I’ll be going to
Coralia to take some shots with the crew in a few more days.”



They needed to shoot a winter snow scene, but it didn’t snow in Bassburgh in winter. However, it had
already started snowing in Coralia. Barbara rested her head on her hand and said, “I thought it was foam
instead of real snow in movies. I didn’t expect that you would have to go to the actual location for
shooting.”

Helios laughed. “Who doesn’t want to have:t easy and finish all the shootings comfortably in front of the
green screen with air conditioning or heater on? But I’m an actor, and I need to do justice to my career.”

Barbara squinted her eyes and smiled.

Now I can see why all your fans like you so much. You’re so serious about your job, and not only that,
but you’re also a good actor. Since you have so many fans, do you think they’ll stop liking you if they
learn that you’ve got a girlfriend?”





Helios looked at her and replied, “They won’t.”

Barbara met his gaze and was stunned. She couldn’t tell if it was because of the lighting or that she was
drunk that she felt Helios looked particularly charming right now.

She chuckled. “You look really different from when you’re on TV.”

– Fixing his gaze on her, Helios asked,” Really?”

Barbara suddenly grabbed his clothes.”

You’re so far away when you’re on TV, so I can only look at you. But you’re right in front of me right now,
and the feeling is different.”



Helios looked at her, and then he suddenly planted his lips on hers.

Barbara was dumbfounded. She grasped his clothes even tighter. Their breaths were hot and filled with
the fragrance of the beer.

Helios let go of her, and her eyelashes fluttered. She gasped slightly and kissed him again.

Helios secured Barbara tightly in his arms, and both of them kissed all the way from the living room to
the bedroom. Their clothes were in a mess, and the moment the mattress sank, she held him tightly.

The next morning…

”

The branches and leaves were covered in cold dew. The bitter, cold wind blew, and the drops of dew
dripped down to the soil along the veins of the leaves.

Nina came to pick up Helios from Skyhigh Condo. While she was waiting downstairs, she thought, ‘He
asks me to come and pick him up here early in the morning. Could it be that he stayed overnight last-‘

Before she could finish her thought, the door to the rear seat was opened. Helios draped his coat on his
arm, and he only put it on after getting into the car.



She turned around and asked, “Hels, did you

When Helios was dusting his collar, she noticed the marks on his neck and took in a sharp breath.

Helios was tidying himself, so he did not hear what she had said just now. He frowned and asked, “What
did you say?”



“Nope, Nels. Can we go now?” Nina replied.

“Yeah.” He nodded.

Barbara woke up to the doorbell in the afternoon.
