"When did it start?" Little Emma suddenly asked as the RV drove onto the street. She stared at Adriaan without blinking.
"Umm … What are you talking about?" Adriaan pretended to be confused.
"Come on, Eide. Do you really want me to say it out loud?" Little Emma brushed her hair behind her ear. Her half-mature charm was getting more and more obvious. It made people feel both regretful and happy at the same time.
"It's not like I don't know who you are. I just want to know the exact time." She continued. Although she looked like she didn't care, her eyes were still peeking at Adriaan's face.
"Just two days ago." Adriaan chuckled and admitted honestly. "Evena yesterday morning, Rachel yesterday afternoon. Of course, before that, I … How should I put this? I had a good chat with them. "
"I knew it —" Little Emma dragged her voice. Although she tried her best to look indifferent, the movement of her pearly white teeth sliding across her lips was very obvious.
"So, what do you plan to do next?" She then asked "casually". Her fists that were hidden behind her back were clenched tightly. Her eyes peeked out of the car window even more.
"Of course that's it. Do you want to take another step?" Adriaan originally wanted to tease her a little, but seeing how obviously she was fidgeting, he gave up on the idea. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. "If it was two years ago, I might have considered it. But now, I definitely won't. Alright, don't think about it. I'm here to make up for your birthday party."
"Ha, so you know you're here to make up for my birthday party." Little Emma screamed fiercely as if she had found his sore spot, but the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden. "In the end, you spent all your time on someone else. Not only did you run around without me yesterday, but you even had a threesome in the studio today. Do you know how long I've been watching out for you?"
"I didn't hide anything from you, Emma." Adriaan grinned and kissed her on the cheek. "You didn't ask, did you? Well, I know you're watching for me outside. I'm very touched, so … you really don't have to worry. Although you're so hateful most of the time, and you even use unusual means to threaten me, you're still my darling. This will never change. "
Little Emma bit her lip and glared at him. She looked like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she threw herself into his arms and kissed him passionately.
At the end of the day, she didn't want more people to share Adriaan with her. She only accepted little Emma because they had grown up together. This was also one of the reasons why she targeted Kate in the beginning. Of course, little Emma also knew that it was impossible to monopolize Adriaan. But she didn't care about those who were taken by Adriaan before her. After that, she had to find a way to stop him, especially those who were her age or younger, like Rachel and Evena. Even though they were good friends because of the Harry Potter movies.
Adriaan knew what she was thinking, but he didn't take it to heart. Although the little devil was a little devil, she always knew what to do. This was the reason why he spoiled her. As for Rachel and Evena, although they were taken in one day and even had a threesome, Adriaan didn't think too much about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now. The main reason he took them was —
"Are you feeling better now?" After a sweet kiss, Adriaan asked teasingly. At the same time, he pulled up a corner of her shirt and caressed it.
A hint of tenderness flashed across the girl's face, but she snorted and turned her head away, as if angry that he saw through her. Her tsundere look was very cute.
"Then …" Adriaan moved closer to her neck and took a deep breath, revealing a naughty smile. But before he could finish, she interrupted, "Don't even think about it!"
"I haven't said anything yet." He put on an innocent look, but little Emma didn't fall for it. "Because I know what you're thinking the moment you turn your head. I'll never agree, never!"
"Does this count as a kind of … um … telepathy?" Adriaan asked without changing his expression. His hands moved even more under the shirt. "Yeah, it feels bigger than before."
The girl's breathing became a little rapid. Although she was gritting her teeth, her rosy cheeks made her look very attractive.
"Okay!" She rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Anyway, even if I don't agree, you will find a way to make me agree. You can even trick me into doing it, but …"
Little Emma dragged her voice and smiled slyly: "I will only give you one chance, so … do you only want Hermione, Luna, and Jenny? Or do you want Hermione, Luna, Jenny, Zhang Qiu, and Hibiscus? By the way, I heard that the next "Half Blood Prince" will re-audition Lavender Brown. Have you ever thought about it, Eide? "
Adriaan couldn't help but take a deep breath. He looked at the girl and narrowed her eyes. It was a very tempting proposal. But if he agreed, he would only be able to do it once.
"In addition, Gemma Atterden who plays Tonks is also very good. Do you want to add her?" Little Emma continued to tempt him.
"That's true, Gemma's figure is really good." Adriaan who was looking at the roof subconsciously answered. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his ribs.
"When?" The girl's face instantly collapsed.
Are all women born with this trick? Adriaan couldn't help but complain in his heart. He then pinched her cheeks: "During the New Year's holiday, are you satisfied?"
As mentioned before, many of the young actors in the Harry Potter series were replaced. Only Little Emma and Evena matched the original, so Nymphadora Tonks was no exception. Adriaan found a younger girl to play the role. Yes, it was Gemma Atterden who was born in a small town in Kent.
Of course, just like Louise Bourkun, Jemma undressed in front of him without any exception, and she did it very naturally. She wasn't beautiful, but her figure was first-class. Plus, she was very cooperative, so Adriaan couldn't bear to let go of her. If he hadn't made up his mind to get Rachel and Evena, Adriaan would have talked to her.
"Speaking of which, don't you want to play a cameo role in the Harry Potter series?" After calming down, Little Emma immediately asked. "Since you're already in Iron Man, it shouldn't be a problem for you to play some other roles, right?"
"Oh?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows, a little curious as to why she would change the topic.
"If I knew this would happen, I would have changed you to Voldemort." Little Emma blinked her eyes and said.
"Forget it, I'm not an actor, and I'm not interested in playing a guy without a nose." Adriaan shook his head, "Besides, the crew has already found a very good actor to play Voldemort."
"Then how about a cameo role as a villain, a zombie?" Little Emma giggled and stuck close to him, "A … zombie who captured Hermione, Jenny, Luna, Qiu, and other girls."
Well, in the end, she was still trying to tempt him to agree to that condition. If that's the case...
"Then let's do it your way." Adriaan squinted his eyes.
"You agreed to play a zombie?"
"Emma!"
"I know, haha."
Looking at the girl laughing, Adriaan shook his head helplessly, and then, the corner of his mouth slightly curved up. You asked for it, Emma, do you really think this thing can restrict me?
"One thing is done, now let's deal with the other thing." Little Emma said as she rode on Adriaan, wrapped her arms around his neck, and seductively blew into his ear. "I'm going to squeeze you dry, Eide!"
Squeeze Adriaan dry? Alone? Of course not, this was just Little Emma's idea. Therefore, even though Liu Yifei and her mother had been living in Los Angeles most of the time since she went to USC, the London apartment was basically empty, so Adriaan used it.
In short, even though he "taught" Little Emma a lesson in bed that night, it didn't stop Adriaan from making out with Rachel and Evena the next day. At the same time, there was also Jemma. Since I mentioned her before, it's not a bad idea to call her out. Although Little Emma, Rachel, and Evanna each had their own style, their figures were not that great. Ivanka had returned to America in advance, so I had to ask her to make up the numbers.
After a few days of leisure, when the enthusiasm in America had died down, Adriaan finally set foot on his way back. Even so, after receiving the news of his return, the media still blocked his mansion, so much so that Kate and the girls had to be careful when entering and exiting. Sometimes, Adriaan had to come out and lead the media away.
"I don't understand, why do we have to guard against those reporters?" Lily, who was leaning against the headboard, asked gloomily. Then, she sneezed heavily.
"Because sometimes these people will do anything for a bit of news. You'll understand when you grow up." After carefully looking at the thermometer, Adriaan said, "Not bad, your body temperature is just a little high, it's not a problem. Drink more water and take some medicine, you'll get better soon."
"But mom said …" Lily sneezed again, "She said you're afraid of being found out."
She said as she widened her eyes, "Do you have any secrets that you can't let others know?"
Unfortunately, because of the cold, although Lily tried her best to put on an expression that said "I already knew" or "I'll find out sooner or later", she still felt a little weak.
"They already found out, they just didn't dare to say it. Telling you to be careful was just a show for them." Adrian pinched her cheeks. "Alright, now you better get some rest. Catching a cold is a very serious matter. Even a strong person like me will catch a cold from time to time. If you don't treat it as soon as possible, it will easily develop into a serious illness, understand? "
Because of physical problems, Westerners were very prone to influenza, and this kind of disease, which was only a small problem in the eyes of Easterners, could easily kill people here. At least tens of thousands of people died of influenza in the United States every year. Although Adriaan had always been very healthy, even if he didn't count the "wild fight" with Sophie, he had been bedridden many times because of influenza.
"Got it." Lily muttered a few words. Although she was very reluctant, she still obediently lay down and pulled up the quilt.
"Dad will see you later." Adriaan kissed her forehead and then left the bedroom under her gaze.
In the garden outside the villa, the afternoon sun was strong. Women or mothers were talking to each other, whether with fake smiles or sincere smiles, and children were running around. As he had said to Lily before, he wasn't worried at all that the reporters would take these pictures. The reason why he told Kate and the others to be careful was just a show.
After all, Adriaan was now in front of the media as an actor, and actors and directors received different treatment from the media. However, even so, it didn't change Adriaan's other identity — a media mogul.
As a media mogul, even if he didn't say anything and covered up his private life tightly, the media couldn't do anything — as long as he had enough bargaining chips to make a deal. What's more, Adriaan, who prided himself on abiding by the rules, was very cooperative in some aspects. For example, as soon as he came back, he went on The Daily Show to talk about the reason why he took on the film, and a little about Charlize and Ivanka.
"As I said before through the spokesman, this is a very interesting experience. No one has done it before, and very few people will do it in the future. Why not give it a try? Also, I admire Hughes, the prototype of Stark.
"When I first hired Charlize as my assistant, I didn't expect her to have such achievements. She's really outstanding and has a good understanding with me, which is why I recommended her to play Pepper.
"I used to talk to Ivanka a lot. As a bystander, I know her dream of creating her own career. I understand Donald's concerns, but Ivanka isn't a bird in a cage. She needs the freedom to fly. Of course, it was a complete coincidence that she became my secretary, because she said that I encouraged her to find another job, so I have to take responsibility. "
These words, which seemed to be both real and fake, revealed a playful friendship and seemed to be unusually ambiguous, made many gossip-lovers even more speculate and look forward to the end of May as soon as possible.
With such cooperation, even if a reporter took a picture of the gathering of so many mothers, no media would dare to take the risk of publishing it. Besides, the Chicago Tribune incident was still in front of them. Besides, it wasn't like Adriaan didn't have a backup plan, so there was no need to worry at all.
Compared to the reporters, the daughters were obviously more of a headache. For example, Sandie, who was a little more than a year old, was full of energy every day. It was normal for her to make a scene, and she was used to grabbing and pinching. If this continued, she would become another Lily. One Lily was already depressing enough, and now there was another one … Why couldn't she be as quiet as her younger sister? Or was she like the other sisters, who just needed to be a little special?
Alright, let's not talk about these trivial family matters. After returning, apart from cooperating with the movie promotion, there was one more thing he needed to follow up on, and that was the first wave of the title song of Christina's new album had begun to hit the charts.
It was a song that was a mixture of blues, jazz, soul, and other styles. It had strong emotions, a guitar melody, a strong rhythm, and a huge range that was catchy. It jumped to the top of the charts as soon as it hit the charts. The name of the song was "Rolling in the Deep"!
That's right, it was "Rolling in the Deep". Adriaan had already consciously asked Christina to expand and try songs of these styles, and she did a good job. The Best Female Jazz Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards last year was the best proof of that. In the past few years, she had made good breakthroughs in blues, jazz, and soul music. Coupled with the best team, it was no problem at all to master this song. Perhaps the voice was not hoarse enough, and the degree of heartbreak was a little less than the original version, but it was loud and clear. When it exploded in the later stages, the feeling of anger was expressed more thoroughly.
With this classic, as well as some other good songs from the same source, such as "Someone Like You" or "Set Fire To The Rain", as well as a few other good works, the Grammy Awards next year would definitely be very exciting.
Under such circumstances, Britney, Avril, and Taylor all begged, threatened, or acted coquettishly for new songs on different occasions. Well, Britney's problem was easy to solve. Adriaan had given her a good new song, "Poker Face". Although it was not as popular as "Rolling in the Deep", it was still at the top of Billboard for a while. So, he just needed to pick a few songs from the same source.
As for Avril and Taylor, he really could not think of any suitable ones at the moment, so he had to put them off for now. Also … an unexpected thing that even caused countless chain reactions was placed in front of him.
"You said … you want to list the group?" Adriaan blinked, a little surprised and a little amused, as if the guy sitting in front of him was an alien in Claude's skin, not him.
"Hey, don't look at me like that, okay?" Claude spread out his hands. "I'm not an alien."
"Fine, you're not." Adriaan said as he took out his phone. "But today is not April 1st."
"Eide, I'm serious!" Claude took a deep breath.
Adrian frowned and then relaxed. "No wonder you came to my office instead of asking me to come to your office. Well, why should I list the company? To become the richest man in the world? "
"Not necessarily. If it only doubles, you'll be a little more than Gates at most, and you may be surpassed at any time." Claude finally could not help but make a small joke.
"In that case, it seems that I should continue to hover in the top five." Adriaan shrugged and then raised his hand when Claude narrowed his eyes. "Well, why should we list the company?"
