Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 261 Cormac, Take Care!

Cormac strongly desired to avoid a confrontation with Rowena at that moment. He departed simultaneously with her entry into the filming session to prevent any further encounters with her, yet he did not anticipate her pursuit. The last time they met at the entertainment center, Cormac could still pretend that nothing had happened. This time, he could only expose his embarrassment in front of Rowena.

Now, it was just the two of them, and for a long time, they were speechless.

Rowena didn't know how to start either. After a while, she mumbled, "I just found out about the Nash family."

"I must look like a real joke to you," Cormac said with a self-deprecating smile.

"No." Rowena quickly said, "Life has its ups and downs. It's normal. You have to stay positive."

Rowena actually had a lot to say but didn't know how to utter it.

"I'm staying positive," Cormac forced a smile. "Although life isn't as affluent as before, every day is fulfilling. It's pretty good."

"That's good." Rowena knew this wasn't his true feeling.

"Rowena, what happened between us is in the past. I don't want to bring it up again. You have your boyfriend now, and I have my family. Let's just live our own lives and not disturb each other."

Live our own lives and not disturb each other?

Yes, their relationship was a thing of the past.

At this moment, Rowena's assistant hurriedly ran over. Cormac said, "You should go. I hope you can forget these two meetings. Just pretend you never saw me."

If time could go back, even if Aurora wanted to go to the entertainment center, he wouldn't have taken her there.

"Rowena, you need to go back. The photographer is waiting," the assistant said, panting as she ran over to Rowena.

Cormac didn't say anything more. He just silently turned around, but as he was about to leave, she called out to him, "Cormac."

Hearing this, Cormac stopped. He turned around to look at her and asked, "Yes?"

"Cormac, take care."

She could only wish him well, as much as she had to say. Rowena hoped Cormac could stay positive after his downfall, as he was before.

Cormac felt a lump in his throat, but he still managed a faint smile and nodded. "You too, take care."

After this, Cormac reversed his stance completely, while the assistant led Rowena away. They went their separate ways on a deserted road, growing increasingly distant. Because they both turned around, neither of them saw the tears in each other's eyes.

"Rowena, why are you crying? Don't cry; it will ruin your makeup," the assistant said.

Back in the studio, the makeup artist quickly touched up Rowena's makeup. After that, they went to shoot the promotional poster for the entertainment center.

As the shoot began, the photographer kept saying to Rowena, "Come on, Rowena, smile. Give me a happy, sweet smile."

The photographer kept making his requests, but Rowena just couldn't smile. After taking a set of photos, the photographer shook his head, still not satisfied with the results.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well today. I'm really not in the right state. Let's end the shoot for today," Rowena really couldn't continue. She just wanted to find a place to be alone for a while.

"That's not possible, Rowena," the manager quickly said. "The shooting location and the photographer are in high demand. The schedule is fully booked for many days. If you don't shoot today, it will cause delays." "But I'm really not feeling well right now. I can't continue," Rowena said.

The manager was about to say something when Richard quickly walked over, signaling the manager to leave. He would try to persuade her. After the manager left, only Richard and Rowena were left in the room.

"What's wrong, Rowena? Haven't you rested well?" Richard asked with concern. "I know you've been very tired lately, but today's shoot is really important. The promotional poster for the entertainment center should have been shot a long time ago, but you've been busy. Nexus Innovations has already been very accommodating. If we don't finish today, it will really upset our sponsor."

He continued, "Besides, we just returned to the country. If some ill-intentioned people say you're causing trouble, it will be a disaster. Public opinion can be deadly. Be good, just hold on for three more hours. After the shoot, we'll go back to the hotel and rest well."

Seeing Richard now, Rowena was really angry. She directly accused him, "Richard, don't you think you're being excessive today?"

"Excessive?" Richard pretended not to understand. "Persuading you to finish the shoot? I'm just thinking about the bigger picture, not..."

"You know I'm not talking about that." Since Richard was pretending, Rowena decided to be explicit. "You knew he was down and out, yet you still made him our driver. Isn't that trampling on his dignity?"

"Trampling on his dignity?" Richard laughed at this. "He's broke now. Doing a day's hard labor won't earn him much. I let him drive for me for a day, and I paid him three thousand dollars. I'm helping him."

"You know exactly what you're thinking!" Rowena said angrily. "I could have finished the shoot well today, but because of you, my mood is completely ruined. I can't shoot today!"

After saying this, Rowena took off the outerwear she was wearing for the shoot and was about to leave. Richard grabbed her wrist and said, "I know he's your ex-boyfriend. I also know he's down and out now. That's why I was extra cautious when he deliberately approached you at the entertainment center."

He continued, "You're a celebrity with millions of fans now. What if he uses your past relationship to ruin your reputation or blackmail you? If he were still the rich young master he used to be, I wouldn't worry about this. But now that he's fallen, he must find it hard to accept. If he didn't have ulterior motives, why would he pretend to run into you at the entertainment center?"

Rowena got even angrier at his words. "Is being poor a crime?" Richard had hit a nerve, reminding her of her own past. She added, "I was also born into a poor family. Does that mean poor people must have ulterior motives when they make friends or do things?"

Rowena lost her temper. Hearing this, the manager and assistant quickly ran in. Richard, also very angry, took a deep breath and said, "Fine, she's not feeling well today and is in a bad mood. No more shooting!"

After saying this, Richard stormed out. Rowena, feeling weak, sat down on a chair, holding onto it for support.

She really didn't want things to turn out this way. Cormac had gone from a rich young master to a poor man. It must be hard for him to accept, and now he had to endure such humiliation. He must be feeling terrible, Rowena thought, not daring to imagine it.

"Uncle, you're back? I've made the food. Let me get it for you." Aurora had already prepared the meal. Seeing Cormac return, she quickly went to get it. When she came back, Cormac was already sitting at the table. Aurora placed the food in front of him.

Cormac hadn't eaten all day, but he wasn't hungry at all. Aurora said, "Uncle, I learned a new cooking method from TV today. They say the food made this way is especially delicious. Try it."

"Okay," Cormac responded lazily. He picked up the food and started to eat, but as he swallowed, he suddenly found it hard to get it down.

He choked up. He had held back all the way, but as soon as he put the food in his mouth, he felt he couldn't hold back anymore. He wanted to cry.
