Chapter 773 Two Days Before the Wedding
Then, Linda stood up immediately and walked over eagerly.
"Grace, let me see, is that really a ring in that beam of light? I can't be seeing things, right?"
It was clear how thrilled Linda was.
"It shouldn't be." Grace raised her hand cooperatively, smiling lightly.
Linda's gaze fell on the ring on her hand, full of envy and admiration. "I can't believe Mr. Taft has already proposed."
"Such a touching moment for a proposal, and as your agent, I should have been there to witness your happiness."
Grace immediately explained, "You've got it wrong. There wasn't any grand gesture. Not only were you surprised, but I also only found out this morning when I woke up and saw the ring on my hand."
Linda's mind worked quickly, and she immediately understood the reason.
"Is it because he's afraid Mrs. Taft would interfere again if she found out?"
"Yes, it's better to avoid trouble. If she finds out, she definitely won't let it go."
Linda agreed, "Indeed, to be safe, once you two are married and have the certificate, Mr. Taft can make your status public, and that old woman will have to accept it whether she likes it or not."
At that point, Grace felt a bit melancholic.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell Linda her thoughts.
"Linda, Quentin, and I want to keep our marriage a secret for now. We don't want everyone to know about our relationship yet."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I thought it through yesterday. I'm in the entertainment industry, always in the spotlight. One wrong move and I could be a hot topic again. I don't want to affect him because of me. I also don't want people to always prefix my name with Mrs. Taft when they talk about me."
"He has given me great resources, but I want to earn those awards through my efforts."
Linda understood and nodded immediately, "Alright, since you've decided, you must be very careful in the future."
"Okay, I will."
This time, Grace was very touched.
After all, with Quentin's strong support, if Linda, as her agent, had seized this opportunity to hype it up, no one in the entertainment industry would dare to bully Grace in the future.
In other words, Linda's status would also rise, and she wouldn't have to worry about being ridiculed.
Moreover, the more money Grace made, the higher Linda's commission would be.
But Linda didn't do that.
She considered Grace's wishes and happiness.
"Linda, thank you so much!" Grace suddenly walked over and hugged her.
Linda was a bit unaccustomed to it, and after the hug, she pretended to be aloof, "Don't give me this sentimental act. You know I cry easily. If you make me cry, you'll be responsible."
"Besides, if I had treated you as a money-making tool, I would have hyped up your news with Mr. Taft years ago, not waited until now."
"I know."
Over the years, although Grace had left the entertainment industry for a few years in between.
Throughout this journey, Linda had seen Grace's hardships and the challenges she faced.
Now, Grace had finally found her happiness and was about to marry. Linda was genuinely happy for her.
"Grace, will you act after you get married?"
After some hesitation, Linda finally asked this heavy question.
After all, when Grace first made her comeback, Quentin didn't agree.
Once Grace got married, Quentin would probably be even more opposed. Besides, with Quentin's wealth, Grace didn't need to earn money.
Thinking about the possibility of parting ways with Grace, Linda couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.
Grace patted her chest and assured, "Linda, you're overthinking. I've already discussed this with Quentin, and he agreed to let me continue acting."
"Really?"
Linda was immediately overjoyed.
"But he has a few conditions."
Linda nodded eagerly, "Even if there are dozens of conditions, I agree, as long as you can continue acting."
Grace propped her chin with one hand, took a sip of warm ginger tea, and said, "He mentioned three conditions, but it's really just one: no intimate scenes, and don't schedule too tightly, so I can spend more time with him."
"No problem at all. Mr. Taft's requests are very reasonable. I will absolutely comply with his requirements."
Seeing Linda agree so readily, Grace pouted, "You didn't say that to me before. You always said something like, Let me think."
"You said young people shouldn't be too content with the status quo. While we're young, we should take more risks and work hard, so we don't regret it when we're old and lament the passage of time."
Linda laughed and explained, "Times change."
"Besides, when you're newlyweds, it's normal for Mr. Taft to want you by his side. It would be abnormal if he didn't see you for half a year!"
"What's abnormal about that?"
Grace raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, indicating she was just having a normal conversation.
She wanted to express that, for the sake of life, many couples live apart and don't see each other often.
But in Linda's ears, it was interpreted differently: "Grace, not just women, but men too, can get into trouble if left alone."
"Besides, with Mr. Taft's physique and stamina, I don't believe he can let you stay away for half a year without getting sick."
Grace blushed at her words.
She lowered her head and took a bite of her nutritional supplement, gently rubbing the cup. She thought about how, since she and Quentin had reconciled, it had been over half a year.
Time flies, winter had already passed for so long.
But no matter the situation, whether he was angry and almost out of control or deeply moved and couldn't help himself, as long as she didn't agree, he always restrained himself.
He never forced her.
This respect made her feel valued from the bottom of her heart.
The day before entering the film set, Grace had already packed her luggage and contacted Susan, planning to meet at the airport the next morning.
That night, Quentin held Grace especially tight.
His eyes were full of reluctance.
"How did two days pass so quickly?" he complained, unwilling to let go.
Grace comforted him, "Most of my scenes were already shot before on the film set. This time, it's mainly the scenes with the male lead, replacing the previous scenes with Marlon."
"So it should be quick, about a month."
Quentin nodded, "That's acceptable. You'll be back just in time for our wedding."
"After the wedding, I'll take a break too, and we'll go on a honeymoon."
Grace happily agreed, "Okay."
As the words fell, the bedroom suddenly became quiet.
Thinking about what Linda said during the day, Grace's cheeks suddenly felt a bit warm.
Grace turned over and took the initiative to hug Quentin, gently kissing his chin, and softly spoke.
