Valerie had a sound sleep on the plane.
Tucker was reading the script while observing Valerie. He occasionally put the script aside to cover Valerie with a blanket.
He turned his head to Valerie from time to time to look at her round cheeks. Sometimes, he couldn’t help but poke at her cheek.
The photographer watched this and recorded these lovely moments with his phone.
When the live stream came to an end, these moments would be added
to the variety show when the videos were edited.
The photographer was in his forties. Not as elegant as David, he seemed to experience a lot.
He couldn’t help smiling when he watched this.
Tucker could feel that the photographer was recording this, but he didn’t care.
He felt the numbness in his shoulder.
Valerie leaned against his shoulder carefully.
This made Tucker have mixed feelings.
He felt that Valerie was different from the boys in his family.
He now could understand why his family desired a baby girl.
However…

Tucker stared at Valerie confusedly.
He wondered what she had experienced so that such a little girl had so many worries.
Thinking too much gave Tucker a little headache. He gave up reading the script and closed his eyes to sleep.
The location was chosen in a small town surrounded by water, three hours away from Capstead by plane.
The scenery there was quite wonderful.
As a tourist spot, the town was definitely a place of history.
The environment here was more natural.
The crew must make up their mind to bring everyone here.
How could those spoiled children survive in such a place?
When the surroundings were shown in the live stream, all netizens were surprised.
“My wife used to live in such a mud hut.”
“Those houses are the same as my grandma’s. I’m from the countryside. Thus, I’m used to this. I can’t imagine that those kids could survive here.”
“Is there anyone curious about Valerie’s reaction to this? I’m dying for her response.”
“Me too.”
The audience was expecting what would happen.
The recorded site had been built well.

This house was comparably a nice one in the small town.
The equipment inside was modern, which was good enough for ordinary people.
People of the crew had set up the studio and arranged the task scenes well, waiting for those five teams to come.
It was 1 p.m.
Someone arrived at the house.
She wore a white place dress and pulled a vintage suitcase.
Her long, blonde hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
Her hair seemed to be shining.
People who looked at her would feel that their eyes were purified.
She gave others a refreshing sense.
“Our Hallie is here!”
“She is so pretty!”
“Her appearance removed all my worries.”
“Hallie must be gentle to kids.”
“I think so! Hallie is such a gentle goddess!”
All her fans were generously giving their compliments when Hallie showed up.
Her name was Hallie Sutton.
She was 24.
Chapter 38 Start Recording
After playing the role of a lady in a history drama, she became popular with looks–obsessed ones because she was both aloof and pretty. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
By virtue of this popularity, her agent signed a contract for a variety show.
Hallie was okay with this. She just followed the arrangement.
Babysit kids?
If the kids were naughty, she would go cold. Anyway, they were not
her kids.
Kids should learn their lessons when it was necessary.
With this attitude, Hallie stepped into the recorded site of “Hi, Cutie Patooties“.
“Hello. Hallie. You’re the first one to arrive here. Now we need to check your suitcase.”
The staff at the door immediately stepped forward intending to take her
suitcase.
“Oh… Okay. But don’t take away my snacks.”
The staff didn’t know what to say.
“Ha ha, Hallie is so cute!”
“Since you told them that snacks are in your suitcase, they would definitely be taken away!”
“How could this be so funny?”
“Hallie looks quite smart in the drama. Why is she a little silly in reality?”

“Hallie, keep your cool image! Don’t label yourself a silly girl!”
Her fans in the livestream panicked.
There seemed to be something wrong.
The staff stared at her eyes, confused.
Then they opened her suitcase and found lots of stuff that were forbidden.
“Sorry, I can’t help laughing.”
“It’s over, my Hallie.”
“Those snacks are reasonable. Why is there a shovel? Does she think that she will go dig for wild vegetables?”
“There is also a water gun!”
“Hallie, you are not here for vacation…”
Hallie was watching when all her stuff was unmercifully taken out…
At last, a crack appeared in her frozen expression.
“Well, the water gun… and that shovel…”
Hallie pouted.
She squatted. When one item was taken out, she secretly picked one up and hid it in her pockets.
What she didn’t know was that the cameras captured all of these.
When Hallie’s movements amused everyone, there was some noise from the door.

Then all attention was paid to the door. Netizens were expecting the
next one.
“Is this the place?”
A baby’s bright voice came into everyone’s cars.
A kid arrived here.
It was a boy’s voice. He, pulling his beetle suitcase, was politely asking the photographer behind him.
With the photographer’s guide, he finally arrived at the house.
Carlo Warner was 4 years old. His cheeks were red. His forehead was covered with sweat.
Gasping for air, he trudged into the courtyard.
The staff who were checking Hallie’s suitcase immediately took back the items she had hidden.
Then those items were thrown into a plastic box.
Hallie lost in the battle with the staff.
“Welcome, boy! Are you tired? Would you like some water?”
After dealing with Hallie’s suitcase, the staff smiled to welcome Carlo.
Carlo, who was still gasping for air, looked up at the staff.
“Thank you. I have my own bottle. My mom gave it to me!”
The chubby Carlo immediately took off his bag to take out his little bottle.
He began to drink.

As he drank, his belly gradually bulged out.
“This boy is cute.”
“His curly hair, his belly, and his chubby cheeks are all adorable.”
“I like him! If possible, I really want to touch his cheek.”
“I do know that Hallie would make a move!”
“She is different from her original image.”
When netizens were expressing their love for Carlo, Hallie, who was staring at Carlo, suddenly reached out her hand to poke his cheek.
“It feels so soft.”
Carlo, who was drinking water, felt the familiar touch. He turned to look at Hallie.
“I’m drinking water. I can’t drink when you poke my face.”
“I’m sorry.”
Hallie put down her hand. She was still squatting aside to watch Carlo drinking water.
Gradually, all the members arrived.
They were sort of reserved at the first meeting. Tucker and Valerie were the last ones to arrive.
All were here.
“Well, when all the suitcases are checked, I’ll introduce this place to you.”
Seeing that everyone was here, David showed up. He started

explaining everything and issuing assignments.
“Do you know which kid will be your teammate before coming here?”
Everyone had found their partner. Now, they stood together.
There were supposed to be five groups. Now there were only four.
“Welcome to ‘Hi, Cutie Patooties‘! I’m the director David Arnold. Just call me David.”
“Hello. David.”
Four kids greeted him.
Seeing that the kids were all polite, their partners felt proud.
It took a moment for Valerie to react. Then she followed the other kids and greeted David. She kept observing the other kids to follow them.
After all, she was a 7–year–old girl now.
Tucker felt her unease. He rubbed her hair and bent down.
“It’s fine. Do whatever you want.”
Valerie gratefully looked at Tucker. She felt relaxed when she found that there was someone for her to rely on.
David replied with a smile and then continued.
“Before the task begins, let’s all introduce ourselves. One kid felt unwell. Thus, we changed from five pairs to four. Now, who is the first one to make a self–introduction?”
They looked at each other. Then Soren Cheney who was slightly older than others said with a smile.

“Well, let’s go from the pair with the oldest child.”
They all looked at Ada, who looked the most mature.
With bunches, she confidently made a self–introduction.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Ada Olson, 8 years old. I’m a second–year primary school student…”
Since Ada made a good start, others felt relaxed and began to introduce themselves.
Tucker was a 25–year–old actor, whose partner was Valerie, 7 years old.
Hallie was a 24–year–old actress, whose partner was Carlo, 4 years old.
Soren was a 31–year–old actor and singer, whose partner was Selina Hyde, 3 years old.
Trevin Stanton was a 22–year–old trainee of a boy band, whose partner was Ada, 8 years old.
“Trevin? How could you babysit a child? You are still like a child!”
“He is just fine. At least, he is with Ada. Look at Soren. He is with a 3- year–old child who is possibly not weaned!”
“Is it because he is the oldest?”
“I’m curious about what will happen to Hallie and Carlo. There must be lots of interesting things.”
“Well, my goddess will lose her reserved image…”
After everyone finished the self–introduction, David asked the staff to
take one box.

All attention was attracted, especially Carlo and Selina.
Their faces showed their strong desire to open the box.
David took out four pictures from the red box.
They were pictures of different houses.
Some were well–decorated, clean, and comfortable.
Some were the shabbiest mud huts.
Those in show business were all smart.
How could they not know what David wanted to do?
They would choose the places to live.
All looked at the shabby house and prayed not to get this one.
And Valerie was the calmest.
This house was not a burden to her. At least, there were tables and beds.
In her shelter, even the bed was made piece by piece.
It leaked on rainy days. And the wind blew inside in winter.
Comparably, the mud hut was good enough.
Tucker, who stood behind Valerie, felt somewhat embarrassed.

He was different from those enthusiastically talking with kids about which one to live in.
He squatted and stared at Valerie seriously.

“Valerie, if we get that mud hut, will you feel unhappy?”
Valerie blinked.
Looking at Tucker, who was seriously asking her. Valerie leaned forward.
She gently whispered. “It doesn’t matter. Tucker, as long as I can be with you.”
Tucker’s heart raced.
What a girl!
