Chapter 1037:
“A King’s Heart,” she answered, her tone dead serious. “You played that knight who went rogue and toppled the king just to get the woman he loved. You took the crown for yourself. Honestly, your performance and that script? Unforgettable. You killed it in every scene p>
At first, Taylor looked pleased, but his confidence faltered when she mentioned “A King’s Heart.” He remembered spamming the group chat with photos from that drama just the night before, which still made him cringe.
Cole watched the exchange, barely managing to keep a straight face as Elliana poured on the charm.
Despite his embarrassment, Taylor couldn’t help but feel a little honored that Lilah claimed to be a fan. With a sheepish look, he apologized. “I really am sorry, Lilah. I was out of line for what I said about you on that forum. You can punish me however you see fit p>
Elliana grinned mischievously. “If you really want to make it up to me, you owe me ten thousand signed photos. That should cover it p>
Taylor’s jaw dropped. “Did you say ten thousand p>
She crossed her arms, playing up her stern act. “You spent all night dragging my name through the dirt, and I’m only asking for autographs. I could always switch to demanding ten thousand lashes, you know p>
Taylor caved instantly. “Autographs it is! Ten thousand, no complaints p>
With a satisfied smile, Elliana nodded. “It’s settled then p>
Cole’s lips curled into a smile, amused by the whole scene.
Right then, Taylor’s expression went oddly blank, as if something flickered inside him, but he quickly forced a smile back onto his face.
Even though the pause was brief, both Elliana and Cole picked up on it instantly.

Elliana noticed the slight shift in Taylor’s expression and quickly exchanged a look with Cole, though neither spoke a word.
Taylor, who had seemed simple and playful a moment ago, now carried himself with surprising composure. With a smile, he turned to Elliana. “Don’t worry. I’ll carefully autograph all ten thousand photos and deliver them to you p>
“That’s wonderful. I’ll be waiting,” Elliana answered with a light nod and smile.
“As an apology, I’ve prepared a gift for you,” Taylor added. He rose from his seat, pulled a sleek card from his pocket, and handed it to her with both hands. “Next month, I’ll be holding my first outdoor concert in Yadnard. I’ll keep the best seat for you. This is a VIP pass. With it, you can enter directly without a ticket p>
Elliana accepted the pass gracefully, her smile gentle. But inside, suspicion stirred. She had never once heard Taylor mention a concert, much less one timed so neatly for a month later—just when her recovery would be complete. The timing felt far too convenient. Could the mastermind have just learned she was supposedly Taylor’s fan and hastily arranged this performance? Even so, having claimed herself as a fan, she had no reason to decline.
“Of course. I’ll definitely be there,” Elliana said brightly.
Taylor’s shoulders loosened in relief before he turned to Cole. “Cole, you should come too. I may have debuted in music, but I quickly shifted to acting. This concert is my first big step back into singing, and your support would mean the world p>
