King of Hollywood - v3 Chapter 244

“Frankly, I never thought I would meet your father in this situation.” Looking at the street view through the car window, Adrian said with a bit of depression.

“So under what circumstances would you like to see my dad? Wait for Mary to start school or graduate from college?” Jessica sitting next asked, Adrian got stuck.

“I know, Ed, you never thought about it.” Jessica sighed complainingly. “If you can, you definitely hope my dad will never find out … his daughter has become the child’s mother. “

“Well, I admit, I did ignore it,” Adrian grabbed one of her hands and raised her other. “But I never thought about never telling your father, Such things can’t be kept forever, and the sooner you tell them, the greater your chance of understanding. Well, what I want to say is that Joshua said that a leak might be a good thing for us. “

“Really?” Jessica blinked. “You’re not angry with Joshua, are you?”

“No, I promise.” Adrian said very seriously, then looked at the street scene outside, coughed, made a casual look and asked: “Yes, you said your dad was knowing you have a child After everything, almost returned to the room to get a gun, is it true? “

Jessica laughed suddenly, her eyes crooked, like a crescent, with a little smug, very cute.

“Relax, Ed,” she prolonged her voice, as if catching his key points. “My dad is generally very kind. It is more serious. Remember not to actively look away when you look at him, otherwise you will think You are guilty. “

Her mouth was wide open, and even her white teeth were exposed. If it was usual, Adrian would have to tease twice with her mouth, but now she just raised her eyebrows: “Okay.”

Soon, the car reached the destination, and the driver ordered two words, and brought out the gift-a bottle of expensive wine from Ditch Winery-Adrian then brought Jessica to the door. The bell rang. quickly. Footsteps sounded on the other side of the door, followed by Joshua, who appeared in front of them, and at the same time made a clear relief.

“Hey, Ed, you are welcome to come to our house.” Joshua greeted them warmly, then blinked at them and made a “careful” mouth.

“Hello Joshua. I’m so glad to see you.” Adrian nodded and entered the room with Jessica.

The living room is not large. You can see Jessica’s mother, Catherine Alba, who is playing with Mary next to the sofa at a glance. It is Jessica’s father who looks at them with a smile on the chair next to her. Mark Alba.

“Dad.” Mary found her father and mother’s figure for the first time, immediately called out crisply, and then dropped the toy in her hand. Raised his arm and staggered and ran over.

“Hey, Mary,” Adrian crouched and hugged her with a smile, followed by a bite on her fleshy face, and the little boy over three years old murmured. It was the cutest time, “Have fun at grandparents?”

“Happy, grandma tells stories very well, but she doesn’t lose to dad at all, but grandpa doesn’t like to laugh.” The milky-chilly little guy said and looked over to the Alba couple.

Mark, who had stood up, changed his smile and grimaced. Looking at Adrian with a very unfriendly look, he seemed to hate him very much, and did not hide this. Catherine kept a polite smile, but her eyes were rather complicated, and she was worried and helpless.

Adrian had just wanted to speak, but leaned back alertly, and the little guy who wanted to sneak in suddenly lost his breath.

“Mary, what did I say? This is not a good habit.” Adrian stared at his daughter. She couldn’t bite Mary but didn’t crack at all, just giggled and kept laughing.

“Is Dad’s ears so … delicious?” Adrian asked annoyed, she liked to bite on his cheek when she was a few months old, and now she is more than 3 years old and still changes However, it is really depressing.

“Huh.” Mary nodded her head immediately, as if it had been wound, a few people around the naughty and lovely appearance could not help laughing, except Mark Alba. Well, he still hooked his mouth a bit, but he still looked very disgusted at Adrian.

“Jesse, are you sure Mary’s hobby is not inherited from you?” Adrian looked at Jessica.

“Why not you?” Jessica asked grinningly, “We don’t have this hobby at home, but–“

She reached out and hugged her daughter from his arms. “I always thought it was Mary that I was surprised. She knew that her mother had been wronged, and she wanted to get justice for her mother.”

Adrian rolled his eyes, squinted Joshua in a snicker, and reached out to Jessica’s mother: “Hello, Catherine, I’m sorry to see you today, please call me Adri Ann or Ed. “

“Hello, Adrian.” Catherine shook his hand with a complex but polite smile.

“Hello, Mark …” Adrian then turned to Mark, who snorted, “I think our relationship is not there yet.”

But then Catherine pushed her husband gently, and then Mark reluctantly shook his hand: “Just whatever you want.”

“Thank you.” Adrian maintained his demeanor and secretly took a breath until he let it go. The other side exerted a lot of effort on his hands. Although it would not pinch him, it was not very good. Although Mark is a little shorter than him, but because he has served in the army, his size is full, and his skin is relatively dark, and he feels oppressed in front of him. It seems that this dinner today is not so Easy to eat.

Although the attitude shown by Mark Alba made the atmosphere in the living room stiff, under the adjustment of Catherine Alba, it gradually became active again. After Mark, in addition to continuing to express his unequivocal attitude towards Afghanistan, Outside of Drian’s disgust. Basically, I didn’t say anything rude, so I was quite harmonious until dinner.

“Frankly, this is not easy, because everyone knows that the film academy does not like unrealistic works. But it is not that there are no opportunities at all. The film academy has been constantly changing and innovating for the past two years. I don’t seem so old-fashioned, so I’m still a little confident. “While having a fairly rich dinner at the table, Adrian explained to Catherine herself by taking the opportunity of Joshua to pull the topic up to Oscar. s work.

Now that I’m communicating with my father for a while, let’s start with my mother. In fact, he had been calmly courting Catherine through words all night, which did have some effects, but it also caused Catherine to always look at herself with … looking at the son-in-law’s eyes.

“It sounds great,” Catherine lifted the cup with a smile. “Maybe we should toast you and wish you a record.”

“Thank you.” Adrian also raised the cup in his hand, and after taking a sip, naturally picked up the tissue from the side. Wiped the corners of Mary’s mouth.

“Carefully look at the chin, and why aren’t there any beans?” After rubbing, Adrian tapped her plate again.

“I don’t like it.” Mary pursed her mouth and shook her head coquettishly.

“That wouldn’t work, I’ve given you very little. It’s okay not to eat at all.” Adrian raised his finger and shook, looking like a good dad.

“But my sister said. We are going to fight against the big bad dad.” Mary still muttered her mouth, and the serious look made Joshua sneer.

“Well, Mary, in this case, you either choose to defeat the defeat. Or you choose to defeat and pay the price, a great price.” Adrian said “threateningly”, the little man blinked, and finally reluctantly took it Take a spoon and hold the beans from the plate to your mouth.

“This is a good girl.” Adrian praised him, and then turned his attention to the dining table, just catching Catherine’s less beautiful face.

This is not surprising. Mary has said several times about her sister before, and he and Jessica have only one child, so who is the sister can be imagined. Even if Catherine is very impressed with him because of the grace shown by Adrian, I’m afraid I won’t be too happy to face this situation, but it doesn’t matter. It is useless to get Katherine’s goodwill alone.

“So, Adrian,” Mark said at the moment. His gaze was fixed on Adrian, “As a Hollywood playboy, what do you think?”

“That’s true.” Adrian shrugged, not avoiding at all. “I’m a **** indeed.”

“Now too.” Mark frowned.

“Yeah,” Adrian is still so light and light, even if Jessica glanced at him, “Dating with different women always gives me a lot of inspiration and then turns into works. For example,” Stay “Last Dance” was initially an ordinary dance story. After I had an idea, I gave it to other screenwriters to stop paying attention. However, under constant contact with Jesse, some of her feelings made me suddenly Think of this idea, so there is the story that everyone saw in the theater. Until now, I really like the dance that Jesse danced at the end, it is very good. “

After speaking, he smiled at Jessica’s response, while Jessica lowered her head, her mouth slightly bent, and she still missed that time.

Adrian was very sincere, and at least it seems to be true, but as parents, the Alba couple will never accept this statement. It’s just that they are also difficult to refute, because no one fits this description better. Hollywood has claimed that women are their directors of inspiration. Roman Rolandsky, Warren Beatty, Woody Allen Wait, I have said this before, but compared with Adrian, it is a little witch.

Not to mention the inspiration about Jessica just now, or the women who became popular because of him, and the ideas that he continuously provided for the entire group. After five years and five Oscars, it is enough to make many people look sideways. . Even if this is not the same thing as abducting their daughter, in the face of powerful facts, it is not easy to speak for a while. Is it necessary to make a loud noise? Don’t forget, they “invited” him over.

So Mark calmly asked another question: “You have no plans to get married. Right?”

“Has it before, now, it’s impossible.” Adrian was still very sincere.

These words immediately lowered the atmosphere in the room, Catherine didn’t say anything again, and Jessica got into some thoughts, but Joshua turned her eyes and wanted to say something, but she never spoke. The dinner came to an end, and after clearing the table and staying in the living room for a few minutes, Adrian went to the room upstairs with Mark for a man-to-man conversation.

“I don’t like it, Mr. Cowell. I don’t like it at all.” Mark Alba said politely when he entered the room, even changing his name.

“I can understand, Mark,” Adrian smiled indifferently. “If Mary grows up and mixes with a playboy, and even gave birth to a child at 18, I would be very Angry. Anxious to kill him. “

In a simple sentence, he blocked what Mark was going to say. In any case, he “invited” him to come, even if he had to do so. So even if he wanted to kill with a gun after he knew it, now it’s time to calm down, and Adrian doesn’t need to show weakness to Mark. He’s not Jessica.

“I did a little investigation, Mr. Cowell, I believe there are still many girls who have been deceived by you like Jesse.” Mark glared at him for a short while, then said again.

“I think you used the wrong word,” Adrian shook his finger. “I never fooled Jesse, she knew everything about me.”

“Jesse is my daughter. I know her very well. She is not a frivolous girl. I have reason to believe that you have hinted or threatened her and forced her to stay with you.” Mark said harshly.

“There was indeed a point at the beginning. I never deny that if Jesse is going to leave, I will not stop, I will send a blessing,” Adrian spread his hand, “Of course, Mary is my child and I will not put She gave it to anyone. “

“Finally admit it?” Mark smirked and kept up. “I haven’t seen a young rich man and a **** like you. Once you see a girl, you will chase after you. When you get tired of it, you will be left irresponsible. I look innocent in front of me, boy! “

Adrian narrowed his eyes. He really didn’t like Mark’s attitude. What was he like to be? Criminal?

“I believe you should know that Mark, I and Jesse are legal,” he said with an eyebrow raised, and then raised his index finger in front of the other person’s mouth. “Do you know, Jesse came and told me that she accidentally got pregnant In fact, there is actually a better solution: find a hospital for abortion. I believe that it is not difficult to find a hospital and doctor that can be sealed in my strength, and that it is only three weeks pregnant, and it is not troublesome, and then pay I paid Jessie a nutrition fee and will never meet again. You may never know what she has experienced! “

Mark’s face turned black immediately.

“But I didn’t think about it,” Adrian said quickly. “It didn’t matter for a second. It has nothing to do with whether Catholicism or fertilized eggs are alive. From the beginning, I started with what to do after the child is born. It ’s decided, no matter what, Jesse ’s belly is my child, and I wo n’t let my own child out. You can blame me for being a **** or a bastard. You can say that I am morally wrong, but you must not say that I Not responsible! Absolutely not! “

Quick but powerful words made Mark speechless for a moment.

“Excuse me, Mark, maybe you care about Jesse, but in my opinion, you are always only a half-qualified father.” Adrian also became more and more rude, “Yes, you educate her Very well, frankly, although Jesse loves to play and sells well in Hollywood than most girls can keep their own bottom line, this is the credit of you and Catherine, but you do n’t understand what she really wants . “

“You said I didn’t understand what my daughter wanted?” Mark frowned, but Adrian continued without saying a word: “I remember the first time I saw Jesse, she stood so There, in the studio, in front of the camera, eager to show her charm and to be recognized by people. But at the same time, she was very scared, what if she messed up? What if everyone didn’t like it? She was so Hope expressed that she was so scared, worried and insecure ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ That kind of contradictory feeling immediately attracted me, which is also the origin of “Keep the Last Dance”. “

At this point he exhaled: “Jesse told me the story of her childhood, she was ill, was hospitalized for a long time, kept moving around, and lacked friends, etc. At the same time, her parents managed her It’s too harsh. I don’t mean to say that this is a mistake. There is no doubt that children need discipline, but at the same time they can’t make them feel as if they are trapped in a bird cage, and they don’t dare to fly when they look at the clouds in the sky. This It ’s a matter of communication. Mark, father is a role model for children. They may be rebellious and disobedient as they grow up, but their father ’s image will always remain in their hearts. Therefore, they are willing to communicate with you. Whether you can talk to you depends on how you communicate. “

Mark’s expression was fickle.

“Maybe you think that my fun with Mary today is for you to show you, to make a good impression on you,” Adrian still kept saying, “but you are wrong, I have always communicated with Mary like this, This is how I communicate with all my children, and I think I can still be a good father. “

“You can’t protect Jesse for a lifetime, you can’t always constrain her with your rules, Mark, but you can make an umbrella for her when needed and protect from the wind and rain.” He finally said. (To be continued …)
