NOVPUBChapter 1086: 501 Zi Jin_3 Chapter 1086: 501 Zi Jin_3 The entertainment industry’s most controversial A-list actress, Kelly Martinez, peaked in her career without any plastic surgery scandals.
Her beauty was like a raging fire that spared no one in its path.
That was Kelly’s original face.
She initially entered the entertainment industry to collect information, but who knew, she rocketed to fame and accidentally took her place as a leading actress.
Eventually, tired of the industry, she took advantage of a scandal to retire.
Since Callista’s death, the world had become unbearably boring to her.
Then, she strayed in the earthly world, living in a booze-soaked haze, hating Night Hawk’s cold heart and her own cowardice.
...
Until one day, she realized her waist had suddenly grown wider, and fans had commented on her weight gain on the red carpet.
This was a humiliation for a female actress who had always been known for her figure maintenance.
“Did you gain weight, or are you pregnant?” Her agent blurted out, startling Kelly.
Upon counting the months, it seemed that her period was three months overdue.
Frightened, Kelly rushed to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor cheerfully told her, “Congratulations, you’re going to be a mother.”
What was Kelly feeling at that moment?
Was she struck by lightning?
She was an orphan with a dangerous profession and a life that could end anywhere, anytime.
Concepts like marriage and having children were meaningless to her.
Although she and Callista had joked about becoming in-laws someday,
Both of them knew it was an impossible future.
Her first reaction was to abort the baby.
Cowardly or selfish as it may be, she could not shoulder the responsibility of a life.
Unfortunately, the doctor told her that with her physical condition, if she lost this child, she would never be able to get pregnant again.
Kelly was torn.
It was nothing more than a fleeting affair one night, how did it escalate to this point?
She wished she could drag that bastard out and give him a good beating.
However, the memory of that night was too blurred due to alcohol; she didn’t remember his face, the only impression she had was…
He was good in bed, ahem…
Given the circumstances, she decided to accept it.
It wasn’t until she had braved the hardship of childbirth and saw the baby’s wrinkled, ugly face that the strong-willed Kelly couldn’t stop her tears from welling up.
In that moment, she finally realized that this baby was the best gift that heaven had given her.
From then on, she put on an armor that was impervious to blades and spears.
“Kelly, why don’t we go visit the baby one day,” Aubree Groove suddenly said.
Kelly laughed and tilted her head,”Sure, I haven’t seen him for a long time.
You should spend big as his godmother.”
Of all the people in the world, only Callista understood her best.
One look and Callista knew what she was thinking.
Aubree also chuckled, “I’ve been prepared.”
Hidden in the depths of the alley was a cheongsam shop with a subtle sign, which had only four words on it.
Archie Hall.
It wasn’t until they stepped inside that they realized it was a place of sanctuary.
The shop had old-fashioned counters, and batches of fabrics were hung on the wall in various colors, making it a blinding experience.
A middle-aged woman leaned on the counter, flipping through a book.
A shaft of sunlight fell on her through the window lattice, enhancing her exquisite features and giving her a peaceful look.
Seeing the clients coming in, the woman lifted her head and put on a proper smile.
“Are you ladies here to order cheongsams?”
Coming across two beauties, the woman didn’t show any surprise but instead, kept a composed smile.
Kelly grinned and asked, “Do you have anything suitable for my sister?”
The woman glanced at Aubree, her eyes quickly flashed with a hint of awe.
However, keeping her grace, she walked around the counter with a gentle smile.
“This lady here has a tall and slender figure and a refined, saintly demeanor.
I’m afraid even the best cheongsam in our shop might not match up.”
Without any flattery, her sincere and bright gaze made people believe that everything she said was true.
Kelly was more pleased by the woman’s praise for Aubree than Aubree herself was.
Kelly waved her hand, “Then bring out your best cheongsam.”
The woman shook her head with a smile,”The best cheongsam is tailor-made.
You could pick your fabric first, then I will take the lady’s measurements.”
While the woman was introducing the fabrics behind her, Kelly’s attention was drawn to a pale-white brocade emitting a fluorescent glow.
The woman kindly explained, “This is the Carter Brocade from The Gartias of Pethkids.
The craft of Moon Brocade was lost a hundred years ago.
However, after years of relentless research, The Gartias finally produced Carter Brocade, which is comparable to Moon Brocade.”
“Not bad.
I’ll take this one.” Kelly nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, the sound of an infant crying loudly came from the backyard.
Aubree glanced at Kelly instinctively, only to see the smile on Kelly’s face slowly freezing.
Soon, a woman in her fifties rushed in carrying a child of about a year old.
Seeing the lady in the shop, she seemed to have found a savior, “The baby started crying non-stop as soon as he woke up, but he didn’t have a fever.
Was he scared by something?”
