the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 580: When You’re Lonely, Who Will You Miss?

Chapter 580: Chapter 580: When You’re Lonely, Who Will You Miss?
When Delphine and the assistant director arrived at the audition venue, many girls who had come for the tryouts were already in line. They were relatively composed when they saw Delphine, but the moment Charles Taylor, the famed actor, stepped out of the car, the place erupted in screams. No one seemed to remember they were here for the audition.
Watching Charles Taylor being surrounded for photos, Delphine couldn’t help but laugh. She thought of it as a perk of the audition—though only one girl could be chosen for the leading role, Charles Taylor was, in a sense, everyone’s.
Delphine entered the audition hall and signaled for the process to begin.
"When You’re Lonely, Who Will You Miss?" is a youth film—not the conventional story of first love. The female lead, Eva, comes from a fractured family, drifting from place to place with her mother, never settling. At fifteen, they move to a seaside town. Eva is delicate, sensitive, and withdrawn, avoiding crowds.
The beautiful and pure transfer student quickly catches the eye of all the boys in her class. However, Charles Taylor discovers that his neighbor Eva, who lives in the same residential complex, is far from the sweet, innocent image she projects. In truth, she is a rebellious, cynical, and sensitive girl—adept at hiding her true self.
Charles Taylor, unable to bear seeing her spiral further into self-destruction, resolves to save this girl who spends her days smoking, drinking, and dating.
But Eva does not welcome his intervention. She has no interest in clean-cut, polite, and immature boys like Charles Taylor. Youth is often an indecipherable mess; Eva finds herself in a student-teacher affair, unwittingly becoming "the other woman." Betrayed, she undergoes an abortion and drops out of school. At the hospital, she tells Charles Taylor that her dream is to become as free as the wind.
Eva vanishes from Charles Taylor’s youth. Though he graduates with excellent grades and gets into a prestigious university, he is unable to forget the girl who dreams of being free as the wind. Yet, he is forced to conform—becoming a white-collar professional in the city, living the methodical life expected by society.
Working a steady job, buying a house, going on blind dates—it is during a school reunion that Charles Taylor accidentally hears news about Eva. He can’t help but start following her footsteps, desperate to learn about her present life.
Eva had indeed become the freest wind. After dropping out of school, she did not continue her studies but instead began navigating the adult world at a very young age. She taught in remote mountain villages, scaled the world’s tallest peaks, and worked as a journalist in the turbulent Palestine-Israel region.
Charles Taylor felt something stirring deep in his blood. He quit the job others would kill for, broke up with his lukewarm girlfriend, and almost obsessively began retracing her journey. Eighteen years later, after countless twists and turns, they reunited in the icy expanse of the Everest base camp.
When Delphine received the script, she cried several times while reading it. No one could resonate with its emotions more deeply than her—it felt like a reflection of herself at different crosspoints of life. One part of her was evasive, paralyzed by past wounds; the other part had truly broken free, becoming as unrestrained as the wind.
At that moment, only one thought filled her mind: she had to turn this story into a film. In her own life, she hadn’t encountered a Charles Taylor who had spent eighteen years searching for her. But the Eva in the movie was lucky. A broken life that ultimately finds someone willing to stay and wait for years—that’s the greatest happiness the world can offer.
"When You’re Lonely, Who Will You Miss?" primarily explores self-redemption in the aftermath of youthful missteps. As it is not a commercial film, Delphine planned for all locations to be shot on-site, which made the casting for the female lead extremely demanding.
This is a leading role that embodies freedom, wild as the wind. However, after a full day of grueling auditions, Delphine had yet to find the Eva she envisioned.
