Love in the Limelight

Chapter 400
Even though Bernice had been out of the entertainment industry for years, she still had a huge fan base.
Many people thought that after Joana left, the show would lose its spark. But, much to their surprise, when Bernice arrived, the
fans‘ discussion lit up instantly. Bernice’s demeanor didn’t seem to be targeting anyone, but every word she said subtly guided
everyone’s opinions.
In the cave, Astrid glanced at Bernice and gently smiled, “Ms. Bernice, I’m not upset. I was just spacing out. We often run low on
food during our adventures, I hope you can hold on.”
“You don’t need to be so formal with me, right? Astrid, I prefer you calling me auntie.” Bernice chuckled and lightly tugged
Astrid’s arm, appearing very friendly.
Astrid glanced at her and smirked, “If I call you Auntie Bernice, wouldn’t that make Parrish and Clyde’s day? They treat you like a
sister, but if I call you aunt, wouldn’t that make them my uncles?”
“Hahaha, what you say seems to make sense. If that’s the case, things would get messy. Bernice, just let her call you like that.”
Parrish laughed out loud, “Besides, I wouldn’t mind being Astrid’s uncle, but I dare not be Elio’s uncle!”
Hearing this, Elio said coldly, “You are very sensible.” Clyde chimed in, “We’ve been together for quite some time, we know our
boundaries, I wouldn’t dare to be your uncle either.”
Bernice didn’t expect Elio to get along so well with Clyde. Since everyone agreed, she just laughed and said, “Alright then.”

Not knowing if it was her illusion, but she felt that Astrid was looking at her differently this time.
She had indeed gone too far last time, but she had already apologized to Astrid.
She didn’t expect her to still hold a grudge.
“Astrid, I know you’re very professional when it comes to adventuring, could you teach me more?” Bernice held onto Astrid’s
arm, smiling sweetly, “I don’t want to be a burden, could you tell me what I should be aware of?”
Astrid replied, “If it’s about being professional, Mr. Naylor is the expert. I only know some basic stuff.”

Before Astrid could finish, Naylor suddenly cut in, “Don’t touch what you shouldn’t, don’t eat what you shouldn’t, there’s not much
else to be aware of.”
“Oh, okay.” Bernice smiled at Naylor, but he remained expressionless.
Feeling a bit bored, she decided to take a walk with Astrid, “Astrid, let’s go for a walk. The scenery is beautiful and the air is so
fresh.”
Astrid glanced at her, whispering, “Eat something first, then we’ll all set off together.”
Netizens: [Why do I feel the atmosphere has gotten weird since Bernice arrived? Even with Joana around, it wasn’t this eerie.]
[I feel like Naylor is hostile towards Bernice too! Our goddess smiled at him, but he stayed expressionless. That’s pretty
embarrassing!]
[Wow, someone’s criticizing Naylor? I thought his cold demeanor was something everyone was used to:]
[Bernice just arrived and is not quite familiar with everyone yet. It’s normal for the atmosphere to be a bit awkward, let’s not
speculate too much.]
Soon, the snake soup began to boil.
Bernice couldn’t help but exclaim, “This smells incredible, Astrid, you’re amazing. I’ll definitely have a lot later.”
“I’m glad you like it.” Astrid smiled, picking up her bowl to eat.
Elio naturally walked over, took her bowl, and served her some soup, “It’s hot. Wait a bit before you eat.”
