Gavin Sterling explained to her many tis, saying that it was just youthful recklessness on his part at the ti and he hadn’t expected such things to happen.

At first, Giselle Sumrs would have intense emotional ups and downs, even acting out like a shrew.

During that period, the appearance of the illegitimate child, coupled with various reactions during pregnancy, made Giselle quite unlike herself, even showing signs of depression.

In the education she received, the desired partner must be faithful, even at the cost of love, but unfaithfulness, let alone having children, was unacceptable.

Because she truly liked him, such an event was a devastating blow to soone as proud as Giselle.

Moreover, the fact that the two were still in contact during her pregnancy was sothing Giselle couldn’t accept. Later, Gavin apologized repeatedly, admitting he was wrong and promised it would never happen again, but Giselle completely ignored him.

In the end, Giselle’s ntal state deteriorated more and more; she couldn’t stand herself or the environnt and returned directly to the Sumrs Family.

Her emotions were very unstable during that ti, and with the birth of the child, the situation beca even more severe; she didn’t even want to see the child.

There was nothing to be done, so the Sumrs Family had to send the child back to the Sterling Family.

The child sent back to the Sterling Family was neglected, initially looked after by Gavin, but as the constant crying and fussing wore on him, he gradually beca irritated and eventually left the child to the nanny, visiting only occasionally.

Giselle’s state persisted for many years; even when she returned to the Sterling Family, it was purely for the sake of family interests.

Her symptoms remained unstable, and although she knew it was unfair to her child, she still didn’t dare to get too close, fearful that her sudden episodes might harm the child.

The atmosphere at ho was always sowhat oppressive.

Jensen Sterling grew up in this environnt, with no one teaching him what emotions he should have, nor telling him what normal emotions were like.

Over ti, whether due to his upbringing or other factors, Giselle noticed her son always had a cold, expressionless face.

He neither cried nor laughed, certainly never made a fuss, spoke very little, and always observed everything with cold eyes as if the word "emotion" didn’t exist in his world.

After realizing this abnormality, Giselle finally acknowledged that her issues had affected her child.

After consulting many doctors, so said it was congenital, others attributed it to family dynamics, but either way, this situation was a reality.

Afterward, Giselle gradually devoted more ti and energy to her child, often staying by his side.

She gradually discovered that apart from emotional indifference, Jensen’s intelligence was extraordinarily high; he didn’t fit in, disliked staying with other children, and was solving second and third-grade problems while in kindergarten and studying middle school courses in elentary school.

This phenonon gave Giselle a bit of comfort, thinking that emotional issues could be gradually addressed over ti.

But she was wrong. As Jensen grew up, his emotional detachnt beca more pronounced, and they could only resort to constant psychological therapy.

Later, for a period, they noticed Jensen seed a bit different; his expression wasn’t as cold as before, his brows and eyes softened, and he even occasionally smiled.

But when they inquired about it, those fleeting monts vanished, and his raised eyes remained indifferent, holding the world in detached regard.

At that ti, Jensen was ten.

Not far from his house, a family moved in. They had a child who was still very young, fair-skinned and adorable like a little dumpling, soft and not yet able to walk.

Sotis, when the little one stumbled while learning to walk, he really feared she’d fall and cautiously protected her.

The family saw that although he spoke little, he liked the little dumpling, and they didn’t stop him from visiting her. Occasionally, they would ask about him if they hadn’t seen him for a few days.

In those early years, Jensen really liked the little dumpling because while others feared him and stayed away, the little dumpling was different. She would giggle upon seeing him, stretch her arms out for a hug, and sotis blow bubbles, showing no fear of him at all.

Too young to speak, despite being taught "brother" multiple tis, she could only utter ambiguous words, yet Jensen was still very happy.

It was then that he experienced the emotion of happiness—a wonderful feeling, foreign yet enjoyable to him.

As ti passed, the little dumpling grew older, over two years old, calling him brother, running over to hold his hand, accepting his tasty offerings, and giving him little kisses.

At that ti, the family joked that Mia liked her big brother Jensen more than her own brother.

They sotis joked that if their ages were closer, they might have grown up as childhood sweethearts, perhaps crafting a beautiful story when they were older.

Those nearly two years were the happiest in Jensen’s mory, but once when he returned from his grandfather’s house with treats, he knocked on their door only to be greeted by a stranger.

It turned out the family had moved away half a month earlier.

That day, everyone in the Sterling Family noticed the icy deanor of the young master, not seeing him for several days afterward.

Over ti, he reverted to his cold self, as if those occasional smiles and warmth were rely an illusion.

As Jensen grew older, he realized his lack of emotion was not normal. He began actively cooperating with his psychologist, gradually correcting his habits and pretending to be like a regular person.

His learning ability was exceptional, and he adeptly maintained his facade; soon, everyone believed Jensen Sterling to be soone gentle and refined.

Only his therapist and Giselle Sumrs knew it was all a facade, a carefully maintained illusion, and his heart remained cold.

Later, through a stroke of luck, Jensen beca involved in acting. He found acting intriguing as it allowed him to experience various emotions, to laugh and cry, to savor the bittersweet; it felt real, and when imrsed in it, it was as if those emotions were authentically his.

So he decisively entered the entertainnt industry. Even though Gavin Sterling opposed, he was powerless, or rather, from a young age, he had always been powerless against Jensen.

Thus, Jensen entered the entertainnt world, step by step, reaching the pinnacle and becoming a national icon in acting.
