After those posts, the haters didn’t know what to say anymore.
“Have you guys found it out? The way Thea phrased and talked is a bit different from her old posts. She used to be gentler. She must have nothing to do with Dylan, and that’s why she’s so mad this time.”
“Yep. I definitely agree.”
“But they said Thea’s dating someone. I wonder who that man is.”
“Hey… Guys, this is her private life. Chill.”
The argument on the internet became intense again. And it even escalated a bit compared with before.
A lot of people started to search for this hidden boyfriend of Thea’s. They were all curious about who he really was.
Chris, Kevin, and Luca were all on the list of possible targets.
Some fans of Thea started a cyber war with those haters. Thea received a lot of gifts and letters from her fans. Some of those fans even came to their shooting site to send their support and regards.
This kind of thing actually pleased the director and the producer.
This little incident brought heat to the movie. This was good for the promotion of the movie.
However, Mr. Pop and Granny were pretty concerned when they saw the news on the TV. They only got to know right now that Thea had just gotten hurt a couple of days ago.
They wanted to go to the site to visit their granddaughter, but Cody made sure they stayed at home when he went back to visit.
The site was too far away. Besides, Cody didn’t want Thea to be distracted.
Meanwhile, the weather was getting hotter and hotter.
The environment of the site started to get a bit intolerant, but Thea still went to the site on time and finished her job diligently.
Cody converted one of the rooms in their suite into a temporary office. So he could handle the business of his company when he went to visit Thea.
“Cody, do you know that there is a very famous hot spring nearby? We can take the train and go there. I’m so tired of shooting now. I’ve finished my parts. I think we should go there to relax,” Thea asked Cody the first day after she wrapped up all her scenes.
She had spent nearly a year on-site.
And she didn’t even go anywhere to take a break except when she needed to do work.
She felt so bored.
Cody could tell she really was bored. So he agreed.
They asked Matt to book tickets for them. However, before they could leave the suite, Thomas and Candace suddenly showed up. The couple looked a bit complicated.
Thea noticed something must have gone wrong.
“Candace, what happened?” Thea asked, “Don’t tell me what I’ve been worried about happening.”
Candace sighed and nodded defeatedly.
Cody couldn’t tell what they were talking about. “What? What are you guys talking about?”
Thomas cleared his throat, “Candace and I decided to get married. She has accepted my proposal.”
And then, Thomas showed Cody their rings. Cody was quite calm. He would have gone mad if this boy didn’t have any plans to marry his sister.
“But why is that look? You don’t look quite happy about it.” Cody drank his coffee elegantly as he said.
Thomas instantly said, “Of course I’m happy. I’m extremely happy right now. I’m just… I’m just a bit scared, actually.”
Thea laughed, “You must be scared of Linford, right? Well… Linford is actually not that scary. He’s a great guy. He didn’t even say anything when Cody and I got married secretly. He didn’t blame Cody or me. I bet he also won’t give you guys a hard time.”
Candace shook her head, “It’s different. You didn’t get pregnant. If you were pregnant back then, Drew would probably kill Cody.”
Cody almost dropped his cup of coffee as he turned to stare at Thomas murderously, “What did you just say?”
Candace covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes widening in fear. She had never seen Cody act like this before.
“Thomas Watson! You’re a dead man!” Cody bellowed as he sent his fist into Thomas’s face.
Thomas yelled and dodged, running out of the suite. Cody, however, chased after him.
Thea and Candace listened in horror as the two men started to fight outside the door.
“Oh my god! Cody! Stop!” Candace cried as she ran out of the suite.
She was so anxious.
Candace was also quite lost right now. She didn’t even know how she got pregnant that easily. Thea brought her back to the suite, making sure that she was calm.
“Stop scaring yourself. Cody won’t truly hurt Thomas. They will be fine. We need to figure out a way to explain this to your parents when we go back.”
Candace sighed, “Mom probably won’t be a problem. But Dad… He had never liked Thomas from the beginning. I’m afraid we will face bigger trouble when we try to persuade him.”
Thea shuddered a little when she imagined Linford’s face. To be honest, she was also quite scared of that man.
Linford could be extremely intimidating.
“Cody? Are you trying to kill me right now?” Thomas screamed from the outside.
Cody clenched his teeth, “So, you want to sort this out with my Dad?”
Thomas stopped, “I’d like to figure it out with you, thank you.”
Before Thomas could say anything else, Cody’s next punch sent him wobbling on his feet.
Candace screamed and ran to stop her brother from hurting her fiancé furthermore.
****
That night, they took the plane and went back home. On their way back, Cody called his father and told him everything Candace had been hiding from them.
“Cody… What are you doing? You will make Dad so mad about this.” Candace said worriedly.
“What do you know?” Cody cast his little sister a cold glance, “I’m just getting him prepared, or he would be even madder when he suddenly heard it from you two.”
As mad as Cody was, he was still trying to help the couple.
Everyone was waiting in the parlor when they finally arrived at the Bradley house.
Thea felt so nervous as she walked in.
