King of Hollywood Chapter 17: I want to be your woman

"Then I want that Ed, vote for that." The excited Emma pulled the corner of Adrian's clothes and kept shaking, staring at the huge Winnie the Pooh hanging on the wall, regardless of what he was already holding. A teddy bear.

"Okay, okay, don't worry." Adrian said soothingly, glanced at the shopkeeper who was smiling sideways, and sighed helplessly, and a loud laughter suddenly came from behind. , But when Adrian turned his head, Cate had already looked elsewhere for the first time, as if he knew nothing about silk.

Shrugging, he simply took out the £5 note and exchanged 50 ten-pence coins from the owner, and then started to look at the square in the distance. With Ting's sound, the coin hit the white square in the upper right corner, which was a long way from the intended goal. Adrian shook his head and exhaled, aiming at the yellow grid in the center and aiming again.

Ting still missed; recast, still missed; continue to vote, missed; then voted, missed... In a blink of an eye, 50 coins have been cast, and Winnie the Pooh is still hanging on the wall, His grinning mouth seemed to laugh at his bad technology.

"The technology is terrible." Emma said with an upset mouth.

"Don't complain to me." The depressed Adrian immediately squeezed her face.

The little girl gave him a punch back, but she probably knew it was not lethal, so she immediately made a grimace again. But after looking at the hanging Winnie-the-Pooh bear, a little adult looks like a wave: "Forget it, I can't bear to continue to watch it, or go do other games."

That being said, her nostalgia when looking at the doll failed to conceal Adrian, so he immediately took out £5 again to the smiling shopkeeper: "How about we try again, Emma?"

"Try again?" Emma blinked her eyes like this. "I don't think I will try again ten times."

It's really...strike people. Adrian looked annoyed at the guy in front of him, but he was only four years old, but he was already much smarter than his peers. This is probably related to her own experience.

"I'm afraid that's the case," Adrian sighed and glanced at Cate, who just laughed at the little girl's words, "So, I think, we have to find a foreign aid."

Emma also looked at Cate, and her mouth groaned involuntarily. Although she had understood many things as she grew up, she still instinctively rejected Cate. I don’t know why.

Pinching the face of the little guy again, Adrian straightened up and owed a little to Cate: "Can you help me, beautiful lady? Help a child realize her little wish."

Cate snorted softly, took the coin without saying a word and started tossing it, once, twice, three times, four times, and the smile of the owner suddenly solidified on his face, but he recovered quickly, After shrugging, I took down the Winnie the Pooh and handed it to Adrian. By the way, I also said something like "Congratulations". Adrian just spent enough coins here to buy two more Winnie the Pooh bear dolls.

"Thank you." Watching Emma waving at the Pooh bear, Adrian said so to the Cate around him, and then sighed again, only lost four times and hit it, compared to the previous N times. The miss is really a blow to people, but it also confirms one thing, he really has no talent in it.

"I did this for Emma." Cate said faintly, all eyes on the little girl.

Adrian smiled and didn't speak anymore, why was he not like this? The Rodlings have a daughter. Although they still treat Emma very well, unlike many families who have their own children, they look at the adopted children differently, but eccentricity is inevitable. It’s just that for sensitive Emma, ​​even if it’s just a little bit different, she can perceive that the little girl is very smart, so she will choose to bury these in her heart, but it’s okay once or twice, if the time is long, then Not very good anymore.

Adrian still remembers today, because she wanted to give her a surprise and stopped Rodling from calling her, and then came to the door of the little girl’s bedroom lightly. Emma sat at the desk and drew a picture seriously. There was a touch of desolation between her eyebrows. There was a wall in her bedroom dedicated to her paintings. Part of the painting was a man and a woman walking a girl in the bright sunshine On the grass, but more of a guy with a round head and a round body, it is naturally needless to say who painted it. Although Adrian killed, he did not admit that this inexplicable image was himself.

Because of this, he took Emma to the amusement park to have fun, he tirelessly wanted to win the Winnie the Pooh. There are a lot of Pooh bear dolls bought on the street, and each looks better than this. If he thinks, it is not difficult to pile up the little girl's bedroom with dolls, but that is not what Emma really wants.

Cate understands this too, so even though Emma is always not friendly to her, she still helped win the Winnie the Pooh. Therefore, when Adrian reached out and hugged her waist, she just struggled insignificantly.

The little girl who had been running forward in front of her realized what was happening at this time. She turned around and looked at the two of them. Then she turned back and squeezed into the middle of the two without any politeness, followed by raising her chest. Hold Adrian's arm tightly, with an expression of "I am a child and I am afraid of".

Adrian couldn’t help laughing, Cate rolled his eyes, then Adrian hugged the little girl up: “Okay, little guy, after playing for so long, how about we find a place to rest? For example, the restaurant in front ?"

Emma poked the ice cream in the cup with a spoon. The silvery hill was poured with a layer of liquid chocolate, and it was embellished with a few cherries, especially appetite. After digging the block and feeding it into her mouth, she stuck out her tongue and licked it in the ice cream. She accidentally got a white mark on the tip of her nose and giggled.

It's just that she seems to have a lot of fun, but she actually listens to the conversation between Adrian and Cate in front of her ears.

"Why should I follow you? It's enough to have a secretary by your side, isn't it?" Cate said in a bad tone.

"Because you are in London," Adrian replied with a grin, "If you are not here, I will naturally not go back to Los Angeles to pull you up, but the problem is that you are here, so why can't you go and see it together? What? Again, this is not a complete business activity, and it’s more about bringing Charlize to Prague."

"Even if I am in Los Angeles, even if you go back to Los Angeles, you will not necessarily come to me deliberately." Cate said in a low voice, and then gave the answer before Adrian said: "Give me time to consider Click."

"This is not enough, Cate, we will visit the first family in two or three days, so you don’t have much time to think, I need an answer now." Adrian said some rogue,

"Don't you plan to spend a few more days with Emma?" Cate asked with some surprise.

"I will stay with her for a while after I am busy with these things." Adrian said, blinked, Cate woke up immediately, looked at the little guy pretending to be dealing with ice cream, and got up to go to the bathroom.

"Enough to hear?" Adrian asked Emma with a smile.

"I..." The little girl's mouth was flattened, only to realize that all her actions fell into their eyes.

"Where are you going? Can I follow along?" She looked at him with a pitiful expression.

"Don’t worry, my dear, I just go to see the whole of the British Isles to help those who need help." Adrian explained, "I will be back soon."

"But...I want to go." Emma whispered, she bit her lip and her eyes flashed with grievances. "Cate can go with you, can't I go with you?" "

"Well," Adrian scratched his head, not knowing how to tell her for a while.

"That's because... Cate is my woman." He simply wanted to fool it with such a sentence.

"What does that mean?" The little guy blinked inexplicably.

"Uh..." Adrian found out that he was stuck with his own words, and then simply changed the topic, "Oh, why are you always a little unfriendly to Cate, Emma? Where did she make Are you troubled?"

"I don't know, it's just..." The little girl shrugged her shoulders as she learned from adults, and then thoughtfully looked at Adrian, just when she wanted to say something more, went to the bathroom Cate is back.

"Okay, I agreed, are you satisfied?" she said after sitting back to him.

"It's so happy to me, Cate, I know you won't let me down." Adrian immediately hugged Cate and kissed her face, Cate did not hide even though she leaned down.

Turning his head again, he found Emma staring at herself intently, with a large chunk of cream on the corner of her mouth. Adrian couldn't help but chuckled, took out a tissue and wiped the traces on the little girl's face, and touched her head before saying, "Eat? How about we continue to play?"

As he said, he beckoned to the nearby waiter and put his credit card on the table.

"I have decided" The little girl's hands suddenly snapped on the table, and then jumped off the chair, but then she only had more than half of her head above the table, not at all. Emma found this immediately, and after tipping her toes several times, she had to sit back honestly. This interesting appearance made Adrian and Cate laugh, and even the waiter who came to get the credit card couldn't help but smile.

"I decided" Even so, Emma continued to pat the table and looked at Adrian with a serious face.

"I want to be your woman," she said in a stern words, holding her small breasts, her chin raised high, and she didn't understand how shocking the words were.

Pouting, the Adrian drinking the last sip of coffee spewed out directly. Fortunately, he covered his face with a cup in time. The coffee did not spout out, but it was affirmed that the whole face was splashed; the original care He looked casually at the Cate outside. His elbow slipped and his chin almost fell on the table. The waiter who was about to leave dropped the credit card directly on the floor.

"I want to be your woman, Ed" the little guy seemed afraid that the shock would not be big enough, and then said loudly again

"You... do you know what you're talking about, Emma?" Adrian wiped his face and stuttered.

"Damn it, Ed, you taught her something." Cate looked at him angrily.

"I swear, it's not my business," Adrian smiled and raised his hands, then stared at the waiter standing beside him, "Can I go to checkout, Mr. waiter?"

"Ah? Oh yes" The waiter finally reacted, looked at Adrian with a strange look and hurriedly left.

"How do you think of this, Emma?" Adrian stared angrily and funnyly at the little guy in front of him after dismissing the waiter, but the eyes cast around him couldn't care.

I probably realized that I was in big trouble, Emma shrunk her neck, lowered her head and muttered, "You are not...you are not talking, Cate can follow you everywhere... because She is your woman..."

Adrian suddenly showed a choked expression and didn’t know what to say at all. The Cate face, which was just angry, suddenly became weird, annoyed and embarrassed and... hilarious, and finally she turned I don’t know where to look.

In this way, two adults and one child do not speak, and the atmosphere between each other becomes inexplicable.

=============================================

Edinburgh is located at the mouth of the east coast of Scotland. It is based on the long volcanic ash and rocky cliffs. It was the capital of Scotland as early as hundreds of years ago. Although not as big as London, it has its own culture and history. In the history of the United Kingdom, as one of Scotland's closest cities to England, Edinburgh has never experienced war.

"I've been here, when I was very young, frankly, I really don't think St. Giles Cathedral is so charming." Cate said, looking at the passing cathedral outside the car window, "It's better than The Upper Westminster Cathedral is at most similar to the Temple Church."

"Really?" The front co-pilot sent Charlize's voice, and she turned to look at Cate with a smile. "To be honest, Cate, are you saying this sincerely, or because you are from England? People?"

"Of course, the former, or do you think I will be biased in looking at things like this?" Cate raised his eyebrows and countered with a sneer, "What about you, Charlie?"

"I? All." Charlize shrugged and turned back without giving her the chance to speak, leaving Cate with a fist clenched. Although it is just a few words of "then you", the meaning in it contains too much. Of course, Cate will not ask "you deliberately, or built on the basis of not understanding", so she wants to ask " If you are so against me, do you really feel unfair, or is it because of Adrian".

After the two women met, the tit-for-tat in a small area never stopped. Of course, they are very good at handling, and most of the time Charlize has a slight advantage, just like before.

Although these are all seen in the eyes, Adrian always looks like a disregard, and he talks to Emma in his arms. There is a danger in arguing with this level of disputes. Whether it is to one side or to maintain balance, there is no good fruit to eat, so ignoring is the best choice.

If you want to be around, you must have at least the level of Julia and Monica. The thought of that night, two women hugged together or crawled side by side regardless of what he picked, Adrian couldn't help but feel excited, if Charlize and Cate can do the same, it would be more wonderful.

"What's that?" Emma's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, pulling him back from his imagination, calming down, looking at the little guy in his arms with some shame, and then pointed to her Look in the direction.

"Hah, that’s the children’s museum I told you. It contains a variety of toys. Would you like to visit it?"

Emma finally followed him. After checking out that day, Adrian immediately pulled on Cate and Emma left in a hurry. Even the amusement park did not stay any longer. He went directly to the street and walked to the Thames before stopping. under.

After that, neither Emma, ​​who felt that she was in trouble, nor the depressed Adrian and the embarrassing Cate, did not say this, and went back home after strolling on the streets of London for a while.

Of course, in private, Adrian still found an opportunity to warn the little girl, never to say this again, he said very seriously and solemnly. Fortunately, except for the Cate, I heard some strangers~IndoMTL.com~ If the Rodlings heard it, God knows what kind of reaction it will cause.

Emma also agreed very seriously and solemnly, but on the condition that he had to bring her with him when he was running around on the British Isles this time. Adrian can only agree, but it turns out that this is a good decision. At least when Charlie and Cate were fighting each other, he had a good reason to ignore it.

However, there must be a formal reason to bring the little guy. This is also easy to handle. The fund was originally completed with the help of her parents, and it also happened on the day it was done, so you just need to make an excuse to show her Just look at the efforts of your parents.

Adrian came to London this time in addition to visiting the little guy, another thing is to select a few families to accept the charity foundation that he established a few years ago to provide assistance to single mothers. Yes, single mother, Edinburgh, visit, needless to know what it is.

Some things have changed because of his appearance. For example, Miramax was weakened because of his appearance and was eventually acquired by him. For example, because of the hot sale of "American Pie", **** comedy became popular several years in advance; but some things did Still moving along inertia, such as the future magic mother JK? Rowling because of divorce from her husband, and took her nearly one year old daughter back to Edinburgh, relying on meager relief in a small apartment.
