The Second Love

Chapter 307 The Cliché 8 Pm Drama Plot

Suddenly, inspiration struck me and I thought of a plot that is often seen in 8 PM TV dramas, which can be quite cliché. Nicholas Scott may be a wealthy young master from a prestigious family, but he is rebellious and unwilling to inherit the family business. So, he changes his identity, enters the entertainment industry alone, and accidentally becomes a superstar, an all-around idol, and a national heartthrob. Every woman dreams of marrying him. But now, he is returning to take over the family business and marry a rich and beautiful woman. I had suspected before that Gu Xingchen's fiancé was Nicholas Scott, and now it's confirmed. Compared to Nicholas Scott leaving the entertainment industry, this news of his engagement is like a nuclear explosion, incredibly impactful. As I imagined the plot, I shifted my gaze back to my phone and opened Nicholas Scott's official Weibo account. There were even more comments under his Weibo posts than under the trending topics. And I saw that they were all begging the male god not to get married, not to be with other women. The comments were scrolling so fast that several new ones popped up every second, and my eyes started to strain. I looked up at Dominic Hartnell's busy figure and asked, "Honey, does that mean Nicholas Scott has a hidden identity? Is he actually a wealthy young master from a prestigious family, the one who has a marriage contract with Gu Xingchen's family?" "He is the young master of the family with whom Gu Xingchen has a marriage contract." Dominic Hartnell replied while stir-frying the vegetables. I knew it would be like this. After thinking for a moment, I continued to ask, "Are you going to attend the engagement banquet tomorrow?" Dominic Hartnell turned his head to look at me, then asked, "Do you want to go?" I hesitated for a moment and answered, "Um... I won't go. You can go by yourself. You and Gu Xingchen are friends, so it wouldn't be right for me not to go." Dominic Hartnell didn't hesitate and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. It's just an engagement." "Then you're not going either?" I confirmed with a follow-up question. "No, being with my wife is the most important thing." Upon hearing this, I burst into laughter. I was completely satisfied. Seeing me laugh, Dominic Hartnell also smiled and said, "Wife, you actually didn't want me to go, did you?" "No, I did call you and ask you to come, but you chose to stay and keep me company."I wouldn't admit it, but deep down, I probably did think that way. It's just that I have a soft spot for Gu Xingchen, regardless of the fact that she's about to get engaged. As for Nicholas Scott... I hope he really knows what he's doing. Suppressing the uneasiness in my heart, I looked up and smiled at Dominic Hartnell, saying, "I'll go to the living room and watch TV. Hurry up and make the risotto, I'm starving." Dominic Hartnell nodded with a smile in his eyes. I slowly walked back to the living room, just as I was about to sit down on the sofa, my phone in my pocket started ringing. I guessed it was probably Shannon calling, and sure enough, it was. As soon as the call connected, I heard her chattering away on the phone. "Did you see it? Did you see it? What is Nicholas Scott thinking? He's engaged now.""Have you seen his Weibo? It's practically flooded with tears, like a girl crying and complaining. He's hurt so many people's hearts with his sudden change of heart." I sighed with a slight headache and tried to stop her from rambling on. "Regardless, Nicholas Scott will eventually get married one day, whether it's today, tomorrow, or some other day in the future." "You should consider yourself his friend now, so you should congratulate him on his engagement." Shannon stubbornly objected. "No, no, no! I'm just a heartbroken fan now, my heart has been shattered into pieces!" "Liliana Zanetti, I need comfort. Are you at home? Where are you? I want to come see you." I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, but I still told her my location. Then Shannon hung up without saying another word.Listening to the busy tone, I couldn't help but feel speechless. Ah, I wonder how much risotto Dominic Hartnell has cooked, if it's enough to eat. I walked back to the kitchen again, smiling brightly, and told Dominic Hartnell about Shannon coming over soon. He looked a little annoyed, but he didn't say anything to stop her. Shannon arrived quite quickly. Dominic Hartnell hadn't even finished cooking the final dish, and she was already here. I opened the door and saw her carrying things in both hands, full to the brim. I stepped aside to let her in and greeted her, "The timing is just right. Let's eat the risotto first and talk about other things later." Shannon didn't bother with pleasantries either. She casually put down her things and followed me to the dining table. Just as Dominic Hartnell brought the risotto to the table.Looking at Dominic Hartnell, who was wearing an apron and holding a plate of food, he looked like a typical househusband. Shannon, with a teasing smile, nudged me with her eyebrows. I covered my mouth and chuckled as I sat down on the chair next to her. I whispered a warning in her ear. "No messing around, just let me enjoy the risotto." Shannon suppressed her laughter and gave me a thumbs up. I found it strange that she seemed so normal, unlike how she had been on the phone earlier. Well, I'll talk to her after we finish eating the risotto. Shannon seemed quite satisfied with Dominic Hartnell's cooking skills as she happily devoured two bowls of rice risotto. After finishing her meal, she even complimented how delicious it was.But I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy seeing them together in the same space. So, as soon as Shannon put down her utensils, I couldn't wait to pull her away from the dining room. After returning to the living room and sitting on the couch, Shannon clicked her tongue and gave a thumbs up. "Not bad, it seems like he's been well trained." I listened to her slightly inappropriate words and playfully hit her twice. "Stop it, my husband has always been this good and considerate, I don't need to train him!" Shannon rolled her eyes at me and said, "I just politely called you fat, and you immediately get all defensive." I couldn't be bothered to argue with her about Dominic Hartnell. It's like a dead end, and I can't help but laugh when I find no faults. Don't expect Shannon to say anything good about Dominic Hartnell seriously. "Come on, weren't you looking for some comfort? But it seems like you don't need it at all." Upon hearing this, Shannon let out a sigh like a deflated balloon and slumped onto the couch. "Could you please stop poking me with that little knife? It hurts." I couldn't help but laugh and grabbed her arm, trying to pull her up. "Alright, I won't poke you anymore. So, how can I comfort you and make you feel better? I'm here for you!" Shannon sat up and leaned closer to me, whispering, "Liliana Zanetti, doesn't Nicholas Scott's sudden engagement worry you at all?" The smile on my face froze, and I was instantly stunned.
