"I think you are very good at sweet-talking nowadays," Miya is initially feeling a bit down, but she feels
better after his teasing, the atmosphere around her is livelier.
Randy brings Carmen back to the mansion.
The children cannot sleep well last night, they all run towards Carmen excitedly the moment they hear
her.
"Carmen, it's all my fault, I'm glad that you're finally back," Joey sounds like he is about to cry.
Carmen subtly wipes away his tears, "Everything is fine now, there's no need to cry, I'm all in one piece
in front of you guys right now, ain't it right?"
"Carmen, we'll get Gina to make you a lot of food and prepare you a bunch of health supplements, this
way you wouldn't get sick anymore," said Ben considerately.
"We would never ever make you angry again," Andre adds on.
Carmen feels all fuzzy inside seeing that the children care for her so much. She argues with the
children out of spite and takes offence at the children's babble, even though she shouldn't. Children
forget what they say all the time, she is being too petty.
"Joey, you wanted to go to the amusement park, right? Let's go now," Carmen remembers her promise
with the children.
"Yes, I would love to!" Joey gets jumpy and excited just by hearing the word amusement park.
Carmen is also smiling widely, how can this child be so full of energy? But being full of energy is a
child's trait, she decides to bring them to the amusement park and have tons of fun together, she wants
to leave all her troubles behind.
"But Carmen is not feeling very well right now, we should not go today," Ben tries to stop them,
Andre also chimes in, "Yeah, I agree with Ben."
The happy Joey is now sulking, but he thinks about what Ben and Andre said for a bit and realizes that
they are right, he stays silent and doesn't say anything back.
Carmen is the happiest person on earth right now, the children are so concerned about her and love
her so much. She really wants to smack herself from the past, why was she so petty and fought with
the children over such a small matter? She should've known better.
"It's fine, I'm as fit as a fiddle, it was just a small surgery and I'm all healed now. We should go to the
amusement park today," says Carmen as she looks at the dejected little Joey.
"No, we need to make sure that you are healthy and safe, you must stay home and rest today. We will
wait until you've rest enough, then only we go to the amusement park, " Ben stands his ground and
says.
Carmen is stunned by Ben's imposing manner, his mannerism is very similar to Alex, as the saying
goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
"All right, I'll listen to you guys," Carmen is content just by staying next to the children, they are loving
and caring. But she needs to comfort Joey, "Joey, next time, I promise!"
Aileen walks down the stairs as she hears voices from the living room. However, she doesn't know that
it is Carmen, she has regained consciousness and is released from the hospital.
"Aileen, where are you going?" Joey looks towards the stairs and calls out to Aileen.
"I'm going to the studio for filming,” Aileen doesn't want to have anything to do with Carmen and hence
she isn't planning to greet the children. But since Joey calls out to her, she has no choice but to turn
around and say hi.
To her surprise, Carmen says to her, "Take care on your way out."
Aileen is shocked, she almost stumbles at the door. What's with the old hag and her sudden change in
personality? Does being sick change one's personality? But it is good news, at least she won't be
nagged constantly by the old woman in the future.
She suddenly remembers what the director tells her.
Joey enjoys acting, there's no need to convince him. All she has to do now is to think of a way to make
Ben fall in love with acting as well, the director wants the boy to act in his production.
Aileen walks up to the crowd, she squats and looks at Ben into his eyes, "Ben, I have a request," she
blinks repeatedly and stares deeply at him as if she is trying to coax him.
Carmen is puzzled, she doesn't know what Aileen is planning.
Everybody looks at Aileen all confused, but Ben immediately realizes what she is asking for.
"You don't have to keep doing favours for that director, I've told you many times that I'm not interested
in acting. You should head out now and come back soon, "Ben says straight-forwardly. He really has no
interest in acting nor showbiz, there's no need to get himself involved in such a complicated circle when
he has no enthusiasm for it.
Aileen is bewildered, the child sees right through her as if she is invincible.
"All right, but do think about it and let me know if you ever change your mind, " Aileen is fed up and she
rushes off.
She quickly gets to the studio for filming, one of the make-up artists hurriedly does her make-up.
Aileen glances at the layout at the studio and her script, she hasn't met the male protagonist when she
was here yesterday, and it seems like she has a scene with him today.
She gets ready after finishing with her makeup, only to find out that the male protagonist is Albert. Such
a small world, such a coincidence meeting him here.
"It's you," Aileen doesn't really want to see him.
"What was the director thinking, casting you as his male protagonist," complaints Aileen. But then she
realizes that Richard is a part of this production, the man she currently has her eyes on.
She regrets what she said, unfortunately, Richard is standing right behind her, their eyes meet the
moment Aileen turns around.
Such bad luck, how can this be? She is so embarrassed and wants to hide in a hole so badly.
"Hey…" Aileen stutters, Richard won't be mad at her just because of this, right? She is afraid that they
will give her role to another actor, why does he have to appear right at this moment?
Albert can't help but laugh at the situation.
