Chapter 474: Apart from me, who else do you want to call at No. 453?

Chapter 474: Apart from me, who else do you want to call at No. 453?

"Who else do you want to call besides me?"

Mario Jensen gritted his teeth and stared at her. If it weren’t for her gentle face, which he would feel sorry for even yelling at, he really wanted to punish her severely. But seeing her look so meek, he couldn’t even bear to raise his voice.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and blame himself.

"Well, the company has a newcomer recently who asked for my guidance on how to analyze a script, and how to get into character quickly. But I haven’t been at work, so..."

"So all day long, you’re on your phone to teach a newcomer how to read a script?"

Even with Mario Jensen’s good temper, he couldn’t help but flare up when he heard this. "Lina, don’t tell me that the newcomer is a man, or I’ll make sure you end up like Julie Harrison – unable to get out of bed!"

Unconsciously, Mr. Thompson’s bravery in the bedroom had already spread among men. Whenever they felt dissatisfied with their woman’s behavior, they would mention Mr. Thompson’s skills as a warning to their wives.

Young Master Jensen was no exception!

"No, no, it’s a female celebrity, I swear. How could a male celebrity come to learn from me?!"

As soon as Lina heard Mario Jensen’s suspicion that she was talking to a man, she nervously began to explain. After all, this was the love she had finally hoped for, and it couldn’t be ruined by a misunderstanding. "It’s the company’s newest talent, Emma Taylor. You know her. You said she was a promising actress and wanted the Film and Television Department to give her a chance. She has a good attitude, so if she came to ask for advice humbly, I could help her out!"

Emma Taylor?

This name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. Mario Jensen thought carefully and realized that she was a newcomer discovered by the director of the Film and Television Department, who looked somewhat similar to Lina and had some acting skills. He had indeed praised her before.

However, she was too young and needed more experience to shoulder the company’s responsibilities!

But who would have thought that she would come to consult his wife, who was still recovering after giving birth?

What was this young woman thinking?

Thinking back, Mario Jensen realized that he had noticed something off about her gaze at him a few times. He hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but now that Lina mentioned it so carelessly, it suddenly clicked.

As he considered this, Mario Jensen’s face darkened even more. His wife seemed to have no clue that this girl was encroaching on their territory.

Could she really be so cooperative?

Mrs. Jensen was truly a genius!

"You, as Mrs. Jensen, are too undervalued. A newcomer dares to ask you directly for advice? Didn’t the company assign her a director to guide her? And there are so many senior artists in the company, doesn’t she have the guts to ask them for leave? What’s her worth? What’s your worth?"

After being scolded by Mario Jensen, Lina’s head lowered instinctively. For some reason, she had become more and more submissive since their marriage. Although her nature was always gentle, she hadn’t been this submissive before, lowering her head willingly whenever he said something. It seemed like she had a masochistic tendency!

Seeing that Lina’s head lowered more and more without any intention of refuting his words, Mario Jensen’s anger subsided, and instead, he felt a deep concern for her innocence. Ever since he rescued her from the warehouse, she had been under his protection.

Although she had suffered a lot from acting, she had never experienced the dark side of the world because he had shielded her from it. Her innocence had a lot to do with the environment she grew up in!

Forget it, he would take on more responsibility in the future!

The company needed a reshuffle, some people were already daring to harass the Boss Lady!

As Mario Jensen sighed, he leaned a little closer in Lina’s direction and pulled her into his arms, helplessly and resignedly stroking her head. "Lina, be more careful in the future, and don’t tire yourself out, okay?"

A man would always encounter a woman who he wanted to discipline but ultimately had to compromise with in his life.

He was the one who wanted to be spoiled, but in the end, he was the person who wanted to spoil her. Mario Jensen laughed bitterly in his heart, holding Lina’s hand, his grip gradually tightening. His mind sank into pondering, then he couldn’t help but ask with his hoarse throat: "Lina, why didn’t you come to me when you found out you were pregnant, but wanted to change your name and move to Iceland?"

Was he not reliable enough in her eyes?

Or was he so untrustworthy?

Had all these years of meticulous care failed to warm her cold heart?

Although it had been a long time, when he heard her say this tonight, Mario Jensen’s heart felt like it was pierced by an unremovable thorn, which would sting him from time to time. After suppressing it for so long and enduring it for so long, he finally decided to pull the thorn out by himself.

"Huh?"

Lina was momentarily taken aback by his sudden change of tone. She hesitated for a moment but then immediately realized what he was referring to. The color in her eyes shifted. "Are you angry about that tonight?"

Lina was neither indifferent nor ignorant.

She wouldn’t know why he was angry if he hadn’t said anything, but now that he had asked her this question, she understood.

Mario Jensen didn’t give an answer, but his furrowed eyebrows deepened, his somber gaze seeming almost punitive when they were fixed on her. "Don’t I have the right to be angry?"

Lina: "..."

What was this about?

"Do you think I, Mario Jensen, am an unreliable man? Or... do you dislike me for having had feelings for someone else in the past and don’t want to rely on me?"

Mario Jensen lowered his head, then lifted Lina’s chin, forcing her into eye contact. The question he had been wanting to ask but dared not, finally surfaced at this moment. He had once been deeply in love with Ivy Aretha, and this matter lay like a taboo between them, neither speaking of it, but ignoring it silently.

It was as if she knew that he loved her, but also knew that he had loved someone else just as much!

For a woman, was this ever-changing love not secure enough?

So, had Lina become more submissive after marrying him?

This submission was more obedient than when they were friends, which made him feel both uneasy and heartbroken. Michael Gordon was right, women should be spoiled to the point where they wouldn’t even consider looking at other men because they feel they couldn’t possibly pamper or afford them as much!

From the bottom of his heart, he wished that Lina would be raised like that by him. But as time went on, things didn’t turn out the way he had imagined.

Did she dislike him for having had feelings for someone else in the past and not wanting to rely on him?

Having had feelings for someone else in the past?

A sudden heaviness settled in Lina’s heart, and all her attention focused on one word he had said: "past."
