Jaden didn't even hesitate. "No."

Luna grinned. "Alright, how about 600 thousand dollars a year? All you have to do is cook for me."

Jaden shook his head. "Still no."

Luna upped the ante. "Fine, 2 million dollars.

"No.

Finally, in frustration, Luna joked, "What if | use my looks as a bargaining chip?"

Jaden smirked. "Uhm, nope."

Luna laughed, giving up on the idea altogether. With her arms full of veggies and eggs, and Jaden holding a duck

in one hand and a pumpkin in the other, they strolled down the garden path, quietly chatting. The scene looked

like something straight out of a peaceful, rustic painting.

Meanwhile, Linda stood hidden in the shadows of the nearby grove, clutching a plastic bag, her eyes burning

with anger. She had been watching them for a while.

From the moment she arrived, she saw Jaden and that woman wandering the vegetable patch together. Jaden

was opening water bottles for her, wiping her swear, and showing her how to pick vegetables. They looked way

too comfortable with each other. She couldn't believe it. Just days ago, Jaden was dating srich girl in Kitmore

City. Now, here he was playing farmer with another woman. What a player, she thought bitterly.

But then, she wondered. Why? Did | mess him up that badly when | left him three years ago? Is this why he's

turned into such a player?"

I've made him this way, she thought, eyes welling up with tears ruined a good man

But, in a strange way, it also made her feel important. If | had that kind of effect on him, it must mean he really

loved me. Maybe he hasn't truly moved on. Maybe | still have a chance. | just need to stay calm, | shouldn't push

Jaden away again"

She watched Jaden and the woman disappear into the house, walking up the flower-covered path. The flowers

looked even more vibrant than they did three years ago, but none of them were hers. She couldn't stop

wondering who Jaden had planted them with, and the thought annoyed her. The more she thought about it, the

more frustrated she got, wishing she could stomp all over them.

When

she reached the field, she saw the plastic bag she had dropped off yesterday still sitting there, untouched. That

made her feel even worse.

She felt so awful she could scream, wanting to confront Jaden and ask why he ignored her completely. But

instead, she quietly placed the new plastic bag down and left without a word

Jaden was stubborn. It had taken her five years to win him over the first time. Now, she figured this was just

another round in the game.

Meanwhile, Luna wasn't in a hurry to return to Kitmore City since the director was visiting the next day to see the

location She was more than happy to stay another day with Jaden.

After lunch, Jaden started packing up to take the two elders back to Kitmore City. Luna watched him pack so

neatly and couldn't help but think, 'He'd make a great family man. 15:30 Sun, Oct 13 Chapter 153 040%2

The next morning, Tommy, Mose, and the Community Relations teams arrived at Oxhorn Village. When they saw

the Donovan family's house, they were blown away. "This is it!" Tommy said, excited. "It's perfect for the movie.

We don't need to change a thing. Just capturing it as it is will make the outdoor senes incredible. We've hit the

jackpot."

Seeing Jaden picking vegetables in the field. Tommy and Mose were stunned. They asked him right away if he

would be up for a role in the movie. Jaden

| said. "No" His short answer left both guys disappointed.

"Later at noon. Athena showed up to pick up the grandparents. Tommy and Mose were just as shocked and asked

her if she was interested in acting. They even offered her a big role right then and there. Athena smiled and

politely declined. "Thanks, but I'm too busy for filming a movie"

Tommy, curious, asked what she was busy with, and Athena replied, straight-faced, Tm working on scientific

research- something that could change the world."

Since Athena's alter ego, "Samira,"

That pretty much shut down any more questions. Tommy didn't dare dig deeper, worried he might be stepping

on something too important for the future of science and technology. had never gone public or shared any

personal details with the media. Tommy and Mose had no clueshe was a famous screenwriter. Mose just admired

her natural beauty and calm demeanor. Athena had this quiet confidence, like even if chaos broke loose around

her, she wouldn't flinch. During lunch lunch, the conversation turned to movies, especially the one they were

working on. Athena didn't say much, but whenever she chimed in, her insights left everyone amazed, particularly

Tommy and Mose-

Tommy couldn't help but say, "You'd make a huge impact in the Stm industry if you ever decided to jump in.

Athena just smiled, keeping quiet. She was already highly accomplished in her own field, and with her tso

limited, she had to focus on what mattered most
