Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 278: She’s Afraid of Water

The bearded man, with a smile on his face, first asked the assistant to take Audrey Sutton aside to rest, then said to Shane, "Third Young Master, please bear with us and wait a bit longer. And thank you to your wife for her hard work. We’ve chosen three locations, so we’ll leave this place as is for now and move on to the next location. We’ll try to wrap up the shoot as soon as possible. Is that okay with you?"

Shane knew that Audrey Sutton definitely didn’t want to leave on bad terms, so he didn’t just turn and walk away. Instead, he instructed in a cold voice, "Make sure to thoroughly inspect all locations later on. I won’t allow any accidents to happen."

"Sure, sure, Third Young Master, rest assured. It was our oversight earlier."

After resting for a while, Audrey Sutton’s mood had somewhat calmed down.

After driving for approximately ten minutes, they arrived at the second shooting location.

It was a bamboo forest in the mountains, and the outfit had changed to the style of an ancient medicine boy, carrying a small bamboo basket, giving a sense of a female disguised as a male.

Shane had never seen her in this look before. Her long hair was tied up, and her small face had a hint of baby fat, still looking adorable.

Although Audrey Sutton couldn’t pose as skillfully as professional models, under the guidance of the assistant and photographer, she could still quickly achieve the effect they wanted.

The shoot went quite smoothly, and afraid that Shane would get impatient waiting, they didn’t dare linger too long and quickly moved on to the next location.

The third set of photos was supposed to depict a water demoness.

Audrey Sutton only heard during makeup that there would be a male model partnering with her, and the photos would have a storyline intertwined with themes of love between humans and a water spirit.

When the assistant explained the shooting background to Audrey Sutton, she was left in a daze.

If she were shooting alone, she would already be quite nervous, let alone partnering with a professional male model, which made her even more anxious.

Firstly, she worried about not being professional enough and holding the other person back; mainly, she feared that since it was a love theme, there might be some intimate actions during the shoot.

Even without considering Shane’s likely displeasure, she herself felt uncomfortable with the idea of physical contact with a stranger.

She wasn’t a professional model to begin with, participating out of goodwill for Nolan Hawke’s sake, and if the demands were too excessive later, she might refuse.

The outfit was a blood-red fishtail long dress, with matching dragon horn headdress, and the makeup was much heavier than before.

The dress was quite long, so an assistant followed behind her to hold up the train while she walked.

Whether it was when she changed clothes earlier or when the assistant was explaining the shooting story background to her, Audrey Sutton had forgotten that the role she was playing was a water spirit and that she would be shooting in water.

It wasn’t until the assistant led her towards the river that Audrey Sutton realized this.

The area where the river shoot was to take place had already been cordoned off by staff.

The river was clear to the bottom, appearing very clean, and no strange creatures were found in the water.

However, when Audrey Sutton walked until the river water reached her calves, she stopped.

The assistant turned and asked her, "What’s the matter?"

Thinking she was scared by the snake earlier, the assistant comforted her, "Don’t worry, while we were doing makeup, the staff had already checked everything. It’s very safe."

Before Audrey Sutton could explain the reason, Shane’s voice was heard, "Is she going to shoot in the water?"

Once Shane spoke, everyone’s gaze fell on him.

The assistant, puzzled by Shane’s question, explained, "...because the role Madam is playing is a water spirit, she needs to be shot in the water."

The bearded man quickly chimed in with kind words, "Third Young Master, rest assured, there’s nothing in the water. We’ve checked four or five times earlier!"

Shane coldly said, "She’s afraid of water, she can’t shoot in it."

Audrey Sutton had been thinking of how to tactfully discuss this with everyone, but she didn’t expect Shane to bluntly say it.

Seeing that everyone had been busy for so long, with several workers still soaking in the water, and considering the time that had been spent on her makeup, she felt everyone had worked hard.

In the stalemate, Audrey Sutton suggested to the bearded man, "Why don’t we shoot here, can we avoid going to deep areas?"

The bearded man looked at the spot where Audrey Sutton stood, the water not even reaching her calves, obviously unable to achieve the effect he wanted.

Moreover, saying she’s afraid of water sounds pretentious, like a rich lady’s princess syndrome, mostly just an excuse for fearing the dirty river water.

Though he thought this way, outwardly he kept smiling, nudging the ready male model next to him, saying, "Madam, you don’t need to be afraid. The water here isn’t deep, see, they’re standing far away and it’s just over their waist. Plus, Theo will be shooting with you; he’ll protect you, no need to worry."

Shane’s expression was already displeased, and upon hearing that this Theo would be protecting his wife, his brow furrowed even more deeply.

He turned to look at Theo, and in a displeased tone, asked the bearded man, "Who is this?"

The bearded man belatedly explained, "Oh, he’s our company’s professional model, partnering with Madam in this set. He’ll also ensure Madam’s safety underwater, so Third Young Master, you needn’t worry too much."

Shane looked at Theo, who appeared to be one or two centimeters taller than him, with a professional model’s well-maintained physique, wearing only a black robe with the front open, revealing well-defined abs.

Given Audrey Sutton’s previous "habit" of collecting male model photos, Shane felt the man in front of him was a threat.

So when the bearded man called Theo over, Shane stopped him, "No."

Saying this, under many watchful eyes, Shane beckoned to Audrey Sutton, "Come here."

Audrey Sutton paused for a moment, then gathered her skirt and walked over to Shane.

Nolan Hawke stood not far away, observing the obedient Audrey Sutton, and a hint of a predator’s gleam appeared in his eyes.

He suddenly wanted to see what chaotic expression she would have when submitting to him now, having been so obedient to Shane.

The more he interacted with Audrey Sutton, the more he realized her incredible beauty, a beauty tempting to destroy.

"...Third Young Master, what are you..." the bearded man cautiously inquired, even though he was internally somewhat displeased with Shane’s stubbornness, he dared not upset Shane.

Shane held Audrey Sutton, speaking slowly, "First, my wife is afraid of water; second, she’s my wife, and I don’t allow other scantily clad men to hold her while shooting."

Hearing this reasoning, the bearded man was at a bit of a loss for words, "...Third Young Master, this is just a photoshoot, nothing else, and there won’t be any overly intimate actions."

"This is your work; my wife and I aren’t obliged to cooperate with you."
