Chapter 676

There was a knock on the door, followed by her mother's voice, "Nada, it's time to get up."

"I'm getting dressed, mom." Natalie, who came out of the bathroom and had already adjusted her mood, replied through the door.

"Hurry up, honey. Don't forget what you have to do today." Her mother immediately added.

Natalie, who was putting on her pants, couldn't help but stop, and her body almost lost balance. Fortunately, she put her feet on the stool in time to support herself, "Okay, mom, give me five more minutes."

After taking a deep breath and saying "nothing" to herself several times in her heart, Natalie finally calmed down again. It took her a few minutes to get dressed, and then she went out to go downstairs. However, as soon as she arrived at the bottom of the stairs, her legs immediately became weak, and she almost wanted to turn around and run back to the bedroom.

"Hi, Nada." Adriaan smiled and greeted her in the living room.

"Um … Hi, Adriaan … Eide, it's really … long time no see." Natalie's eyes widened as she greeted him with a stutter. Her body was slightly leaning back, but one of her feet was stepping forward, which seemed very contradictory.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for almost a week. You look much better." Adriaan still smiled.

It's nothing, Nada, it's nothing. Relax, will he eat you? Natalie encouraged herself in her heart. Besides, that day … it was normal for him to do that kind of thing. At most … the place shouldn't be there.

Feeling that her face was slightly hot, Natalie quickly stopped her thoughts, took a step forward, and was about to say something to cover up, but her eyes were immediately attracted by something on Adriaan's shoulder. It was a little person, wearing a pink coat, curled up in Adriaan's arms, her head buried in his shoulder, and her golden brown hair was messy. She was motionless.

"This is my friend's daughter." Seeing her like this, Adriaan immediately explained, "I should have left her in the hotel, but the little guy and I haven't seen each other for too long, so I follow her everywhere. Even if you're still in a daze, you still want to cling to me instead of lying on the hotel bed. "

Speaking of this, he showed a wronged look, and Natalie couldn't help but laugh. The little girl in Adriaan's arms suddenly raised her head, as if she was awakened by the laughter, but she still looked sleepy, and her chubby face looked very cute. She looked around and didn't notice anything — or maybe she didn't notice anything at all. The little girl crawled on Adrian's body and continued to sleep. At the same time, she put her head on his neck and made some strange noises. Adrian could only roll his eyes and let her do whatever she wanted. Natalie almost burst out laughing when she saw that. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time.

Unknowingly, her mood became a lot better.

"I think you haven't had breakfast yet, Eide. Why don't we eat something together?" Sheila walked out of the kitchen with a plate, followed by her husband, Evner.

"Yeah, Eide, breakfast is very important to people. Let's eat together." Evner also said.

"Thank you, you're too kind." Adriaan didn't refuse and sat at the table with the little guy in his arms.

"Why don't you put her on the sofa? It's more convenient for you." Natalie sat on the chair and pointed to the little girl in Adriaan's arms. She didn't realize that she was sitting next to him.

"I bet that the moment I put her on the sofa, she will immediately jump up and hug me while screaming." Adriaan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "She seems to have a radar in her body. As long as I'm within range, she will sense it."

"Why?" Sheila showed a curious look. "I mean, why is she so attached to you?"

"This … is a long story …" Adriaan sighed and reached out to tease the sleeping little girl in his arms. The little girl made a muffled sound and unconsciously pushed his hand away. She moved her body and continued to sleep.

After a chuckle, Adriaan raised his head and saw the family of three looking at him with inquiring eyes. After a few minutes of thinking, he said, "Her name is Emma, Emma Watson, she's …"

His story was simple and not very emotional, but it still made the two women widen their eyes.

"You're such a good person, Eide." Sheila praised.

Although Natalie didn't say anything, the way she looked at Adriaan finally changed a lot.

"May God have mercy on this child." Evner also spoke at this time, his tone revealed sincerity. Although his expression had been calm, it didn't mean that his emotions were not fluctuating.

"Okay, let's have breakfast. I rushed here as soon as I got here, and I'm starving." Adriaan smiled and smoothed things over. "As for the little one, don't worry about her. When she wakes up, she will naturally find something to eat."

After breakfast, Natalie said goodbye to her parents and followed Adriaan to the car to go to the set. The reason why he came to her house early in the morning was to pick her up early to start the shooting. According to Adriaan, they had been delayed for too long, and they had to work harder to make up for it.

But Natalie still felt that something was wrong. Because of Emma's story, she was a lot less guarded against Adriaan … Well, it couldn't be said that she was guarded. After the incident in the bathroom, especially when she was peeping at him … In short, her feelings towards him were very complicated. Intimate, interesting, agreeable, disgusting, tempting, and so on … Even she couldn't describe it clearly. Thinking of those wet dreams, she felt even more uncomfortable.

If he hadn't brought a little girl with him this time and that story, perhaps after a few days of rest, the discomfort she felt at the beginning would have flared up again.

What did Adriaan want to do? Even if he needed to rush to shoot, he didn't have to come to my house, right? And so early. Natalie thought gloomily. When she thought of her mother's mysterious smile before she left, she felt that something was wrong. They seemed to be hiding something from her.

"Are you mute?" A soft voice suddenly rang in her ears. She immediately turned her head and looked. Big and round eyes were staring at her without blinking. The owner of the eyes was sitting in Adriaan's arms, holding a carton of milk and sipping it from time to time. There was a lot of milk on the corner of her mouth, like a big tabby cat.

This little girl was Emma, who had slept in Adriaan's arms for a long time. In Natalie's house, she was in a state of drowsiness, as if she couldn't get enough sleep. She didn't wake up until the car left Changdao.

Even so, she still looked dizzy. But when Adriaan carefully wiped her face with a wet tissue, she immediately woke up. Then she giggled and grabbed Adriaan's hand, and began to play naughtily. Occasionally, Adrian would show a ferocious look, telling her that if she didn't obediently let him wipe her, he would teach her a lesson. However, this only made the little girl even more unscrupulous. The scene of a grown man and a little girl who was less than three years old actually gave people a different kind of warmth.

"Eide, she seems to be deaf?!" The little girl bit her lip and waited for a long time, but didn't get an answer. She looked up at Adriaan and said disappointedly.

Natalie, who came back to herself, stared at the little girl and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at Adriaan, who was trying not to laugh, and said word by word, "Unfortunately, Emma, I'm neither dumb nor deaf."

"Then, why didn't you say anything?" Emma pouted, looking very unhappy.

"You didn't even give me a chance to speak." Natalie crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows at her. Then she realized that she was wrong. Why was she so calculative with a little girl?

Emma couldn't answer. No matter what, she was only a three-year-old girl. But she made full use of her advantage. She turned her head, raised her chin, closed her eyes, and snorted softly, "Shameless!"

Natalie blinked in shock. A feeling of annoyance suddenly welled up in her heart. But just as she was about to retort, Adriaan suddenly laughed. The laughter was like a bucket of cold water poured over Natalie's head. She quickly sobered up, and then looked at Adriaan with a strange expression, and then looked at Emma. Finally, she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window and didn't say a word.

What the hell, what's wrong with me? Why do I feel like I'm at a loss? Is it because … because of that damned … thing? Natalie asked herself gloomily in her heart. Unfortunately, these questions were destined to be unanswered. She turned her head slightly and saw that Adrienne was deep in thought, while the little fellow was looking at her with interest. She did not know what kind of wicked idea he was plotting.

Forget it, don't worry so much. Natalie rolled her eyes and looked out the window again. As for the possible "conspiracy," she didn't care anymore. Anyway, she would think about it when the time came.

Soon, the car arrived outside the set. As soon as she got out, Natalie was shocked again. There were many reporters with cameras around. And as soon as they saw Adriaan, they immediately rushed over.

"Mr. Adriaan, may I ask if you're dating Julia?"

"What do you think of Julia's words?"

"What do you think of Julia, Mr. Adriaan?"

But soon, the staff came up to separate them. Adriaan hugged Emma and pressed her head into his arms. He strode inside and said loudly, "Okay, gentlemen, there are children here, please pay attention!"

Natalie hurried to catch up with him amidst the continuous clicking sounds, and followed him into the apartment used for filming.

"What happened?" Natalie asked after entering the elevator.

"Didn't you watch the entertainment news recently?" Adriaan was slightly surprised.

"I have enough things to deal with. I really don't have time to read those." Natalie shrugged.

"That's great, you don't need to know." Adriaan laughed, but in Natalie's eyes, it was slightly annoying.
