Chapter 230: Chapter 233: She is very special to David Redington.

“David Redington! My goodness… How many times have I told you not to go out barefoot?!”
A sharp voice came from inside the villa, breaking the awkward silence outside.
As the voice died down, Lily Gray saw a man with a head full of blonde hair, his finger elegantly raised, carrying a pair of slippers as he rushed out.
Upon seeing Lily Gray, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
However, as his gaze fell on the plastic bag in Lily Gray’s hand with the ingredients inside, he instantly understood.
“You must be Miss Gray that David mentioned, right? Come on in, Miss Gray, we’re so glad you’re finally here…I really thought our David might tear down the house if you didn’t show up soon!”
It turned out that this “effeminate” man was Jack Cooper, or Blake, and he was David Redington’s agent.
Lily Gray had not heard of the name Jack Cooper before, but the name Blake was certainly well-known.
“So, you’re Blake… Nice to meet you.” Lily Gray was boiling water, getting ready to cook the noodles.
Meanwhile, Blake raised his delicate finger as he sliced fruit next to her.
Or more accurately – carving flowers on the fruit skin.
Anyway, he was doing it very meticulously.
“Ah well, it’s no big deal… Who in the industry doesn’t know of my famous name, Blake? Miss Gray, David has told me everything about you. You see, I’ve never really cared about what roles David takes as long as he enjoys them. But, umm…”
Blake’s voice grew softer until, checking that David was not around, he quickly set down the fruit knife and leaned in close to Lily Gray’s ear.
“Miss Gray, let me ask you… was David just confessing his love for you?”
Lily Gray was about to wash the vegetables when she heard Blake’s question and nearly broke the vegetables in her hand.
“Mr. Cooper, what just happened wasn’t what you might think. David and I…”
“Stop, stop, stop – Let me make one thing clear: don’t call me by my Chinese name. Call me Blake, OK?”
Jack Cooper – or rather, Blake – seemed to resent people calling him by his Chinese name.
Lowering his voice, he raised his elegant finger to his lips, “Miss Gray, there’s no need to keep secrets from me. I know that David’s feelings for you aren’t like that, but… sigh, let me tell you this: David… he has a problem right here.”
Blake pointed to his chest with his index finger.
“David… has a heart disease?”
“No, not a heart disease, but… a psychological disorder.”
Blake hesitated, “Miss Gray, this matter is supposed to be a secret and shouldn’t be shared with others. But now, since you are a key person in treating David’s psychological disorder, 1 have to tell you… Anyway, that’s what it is.”
It turned out that David grew up in a very wealthy family.
However, his busy parents neglected him.
As a result, the young David became more and more withdrawn, until eventually, he was diagnosed with autism.
Although David’s family was quite wealthy, autism is not something that can simply be cured by throwing money at it.
In the end, it was actually acting that helped David slowly emerge from the shadows.
That’s why even a family like David’s didn’t object to him becoming an artist.
Immersing himself in one virtual world after another, his closed-off personality finally began to awaken.
Because of this, no matter what role he played, David was always able to perform convincingly.
However, over time, Blake started to notice that something was wrong.
After finishing a film, David would often lock himself in his room.
It would take him as short as three months or as long as half a year to gradually come out of his shell again.
“Sigh, David is great in so many ways, but he just has one flaw: he tends to get too deeply immersed in his roles.”
“In the last film, the male protagonist was a troubled young man. His only sunshine came from a girl who cooked noodles for him on the streets. Ahem… I guess that’s probably why…”
Blake pointed to the boiling pot of noodles.
“That’s why he treats you particularly special..”
