Chapter 701

"Oedipus … complex?!" The corners of Kate's mouth twitched as if she wanted to laugh. "Are you kidding me, Sarah?"

"Isn't it?" Sarah was still so calm, as if she had completely accepted something. "Although I don't know much, I know a little about you and Charley's family situation. I don't need to say it myself. You should know it too. Other than that … well, I won't say their names, but as long as they have deep feelings for Eide … isn't it the same? "

Kate moved her mouth but didn't say anything. She then looked at Charlize, who had a dazed look on his face. Although Charlize wasn't as good at controlling his emotions as Adriaan, he rarely showed such emotions. Kate knew about her past. For example, her mother had to shoot her husband to defend herself and protect her daughter. This made her sympathize with her. Sometimes, she even thought that if Charlize hadn't become Adriaan's secretary and hadn't slept with her in bed, they might have become friends.

Damn it, was that a stupid idea? Kate, who came back to her senses, rolled her eyes in her heart. Well, it was said that when Charlize accidentally met Adriaan in New York, he was only 15 years old, and Sarah was even younger. This made some sense, but the problem was, what did it have to do with her? She didn't …

Kate suddenly froze, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. Although her father left this world when she was six years old and she soon had a stepfather, her relationship with her stepfather had never been good. This wasn't to say that her stepfather didn't treat her well. In fact, her stepfather had done almost everything a father needed to do, but she still couldn't accept him.

Because of this, she quickly learned to smoke after she went to middle school and even suffered from anorexia nervosa, which affected her for a long time. Although she tried to correct it, it didn't work very well. It wasn't until she graduated from high school that she completely got rid of these things, and this was all done under the supervision of … Adriaan.

Thinking of this, Kate couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The scene of meeting Adriaan in a cafe in the suburbs of London immediately emerged in her mind. The scene of him taking the cigarette from her hand was especially clear. It seemed rude, but there was an indescribable concern. But what left the deepest impression was in the rented studio after Adriaan played the footage for her.

In that case, he could have continued. Most men would have chosen to continue, and she wouldn't have refused. Most women wouldn't have refused, but Adriaan just stopped. "Your feelings are the most important." This sentence had been lingering in Kate's heart since that day. In the end, she couldn't help but throw herself into his warm, thick, and safe embrace.

The kitchen fell into a strange silence. The three women stood there with their own thoughts on their minds. After a long while, Sarah said again, "Last night … I mentioned it to Eide. If … then I apologize, and I promise it won't happen again."

With that, she turned and walked out. A few minutes later, Charlize let out a long breath and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as I know what I'm doing. A latte, thanks."

She smiled and followed him out. Kate swept her long hair and looked at the door for a while, then turned around and began to busy herself. She actually denied it, and she could bring out a lot of evidence, but so what? Saying this in front of two women who had already admitted and accepted it? Didn't she find it ridiculous? Did she say that there was no such factor? Damn it! Kate cried in a low voice and slammed the cleaned cup on the table.

If she hadn't left Adriaan's side after hearing the news, would things have been different today? Thinking of this, Kate shook her head slightly. She was always like this, just like Adriaan said. Even if she already knew the answer in her heart, she refused to face the reality. Perhaps it was because she was British, and she was always a little reserved …

"Well, one cup, no, two cups, oh, three cups, forget it, four cups of latte. Eide also likes this flavor. Since he and Charlize have taken it, Sarah and I can't take anything else." Kate murmured as she began to brew coffee. As for everything else, she had temporarily thrown it to the back of her mind.

When Adriaan came to the dining room with his daughter, who had woken up, to prepare for breakfast, he found something strange. Kate, Charlize, and Sarah all looked at him from time to time. This kind of thing was actually very normal, but it was different this morning. First, they always looked at him together; second, there was something more in their eyes than usual.

He was very sensitive to women's thoughts, but he couldn't guess what they were thinking for a while, so he just sipped his coffee and said teasingly, "Nice latte, Kate. I thought you would prepare milk. Thinking about it, the natural milk tasted so good last night, you shouldn't be interested in trying the boxed one again. "

He was in a good mood. Although he had tried 4P with Drew, Cameron, and Hu Kaili, and they all tried their best to please him, how could it be more comfortable than being entangled with three women who completely belonged to him? Especially the scene of them kissing each other after eating, it didn't feel lascivious at all, and it made him especially satisfied.

The faces of the three women, including Charlize, suddenly turned red, and then they stared at him fiercely. As expected, Lily, who was holding a glass of milk and drinking, immediately raised her head, blinked her eyes, and asked her father, "What natural milk, Dad? Is it very delicious? "

"Erm … this …" Adrian immediately became awkward. He stammered a few times before he managed to change the topic with the help of the women.

Although he wanted to continue, Kate quickly went to the set of "Predestined" to report, and Sarah had to continue filming "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". After finishing his work, Adriaan continued to accompany the other two little troublemakers. Little Emma didn't care about his behavior of staying here for a night, but Little Emma and Liv were very dissatisfied.

Adriaan also asked Charlize in private about what happened between them, but Charlize never gave a direct answer.

"Sarah is such a good girl, you taught her well." Although her tone was teasing and a little sarcastic, her eyes were full of emotion.

Even though he still didn't quite understand, Adriaan didn't ask further. However, Sarah was indeed a good girl. If she hadn't asked for a crazy night, he might not have taken her and Charlize to Kate's bedroom.

"Fragile and strong." He sighed with emotion. The media quickly found Sarah and asked her about the discovery of a body suspected to be her biological father's in an apartment in New York. This kind of thing couldn't be hidden for too long. Her answer was, "Providing sperm doesn't mean it's my father. He doesn't exist in my life."

She was full of personality, had representative works that were popular with young people, and was self-disciplined and not particularly keen on fame. No wonder she became one of the two top quality idols in the late 1990s. Oh, she was the only one left now. Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was supposed to be on par with her, had been secretly arranged by Adrian to become her sidekick. So, an idea quickly came to his mind.

"… All my life all the time so far away from home, without you ill be so far away from home." The girl finally finished singing the song in her hand. With the interpretation of her magnetic voice full of emotion, this originally somewhat sad and somewhat strong song was even more moving.

"Very good, Bubu. I told you, you have amazing talent in singing." Adriaan clapped his hands gently.

"Thank you, this song was written by Eide." Britney immediately jumped onto Adrian and snuggled into his arms, shaking her soft body as she spoke intimately.

"I didn't write it. I just provided the lyrics and part of the melody, and then other songwriters added in to fill in the gaps," Adriaan said very "modestly."

"It's okay, as long as it's Eide's stuff, I like it." Britney said with a smile. When it came to teaching, this was the most successful.

"I like this song. It's sad but not desperate. It's sad but full of warmth," she continued. "Will this be the title song of my next album? Or a single? "

However, Adriaan's answer was unexpected. "Unfortunately, Bubu, it's neither. This song was written for another girl."

"Another … girl?" Britney looked surprised. She then pouted and became a little unhappy.

Although Adriaan's brainwashing was very effective, it was impossible for her to not react to this kind of thing unless she had completely lost her personality and self. Although Adriaan spared no effort in teaching Britney, it was also a boring thing to completely erase her personality and self.

"It looks like my little cutie is not very happy," he teased.

"Of … of course not …" Britney suddenly became hesitant. She turned her head and glanced at him from time to time. Her contradictory look was very cute.

"Do you remember what I said to you, Bubu?" Adriaan pulled her over and made her sit up straight.

"Yes, I … want to be the most spoiled one. I want … to have a heart like the sea …" Britney repeated reluctantly. She then stuck out her tongue. "But it's so difficult."

"Wasn't it difficult during the training?" Adriaan smiled. "Do you know why I wrote this song for her? Because when she was very young, her father abandoned her and her mother. She and her mother have been living a very difficult life, so when she was very young, she relied on advertising models to share the family's debts. She is both strong and weak. When she is strong, she can do anything for her mother and her family. When she is weak, she will hide in a corner and cry quietly like a helpless girl … "

His voice became deeper and deeper as he went on. His emotion and admiration soon infected Britney. She bit her lips and immediately apologized after Adriaan finished. "I'm sorry, Eide. I didn't know … it would be like this … I … I will never be jealous again!"

"It's okay. It's human nature. Just don't hide it." Adriaan patted her head to comfort her. "I plan to record this song as a single. You will sing it and give it to her. Is that okay?"

"Really?" Britney's eyes widened. It was obvious that she liked the song very much.

"Of course." Adriaan nodded. "It's okay if you want to release it, but you have to wait for a few years. You know, as a gift, the more unique, the better. Also, you have to wait for a few years to fully interpret the song."

The girl couldn't help but twitch her mouth when she heard the phrase "the more unique, the better". Then, she put on a puzzled look.

"You haven't experienced that kind of life, so you don't have a deep understanding of the phrase 'far away from home'. When you're older and more experienced, you'll be able to grasp the feeling better." Adriaan pinched her chin and said seriously.

"Alright, let's do it this way then. Ed is always right." Britney tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, she giggled and kissed his cheek, saying in a coquettish tone, "I also want a unique gift."

"Don't worry, there will be one." Adriaan pulled the girl into his arms with a smile and kissed her pink lips.

It was not impossible to release the song 'Far Away from Home' now. Britney and the song matched each other very well. Her magnetic voice interpreted the song in a different way. However, apart from "the more unique, the better", the current environment was not the best. It had been less than half a year since the release of her first album, and "Baby One More Time" was still on the Billboard Top 100. Britney was still a lively and lovely young girl.

Although "Far Away from Home" was warm, the overall image was still a little sad. The overall image didn't match her. If it was released in a hurry, it might have the opposite effect. After two years, when she needed to change her image and style, she would release the song, which might make the song even more famous than it was in his previous life.

Speaking of which, the reason why Adrian could remember this song was because the singer from his previous life, Dancing Elven Royalty, was involved in a copyright infringement case. This German group had a very famous song called "God is a Girl." This song was once very popular and was quite widely sung. However, no one knew that the eight bars of the song's climax were completely plagiarized from the Swedish group Roxette's "Jefferson." There were no changes at all.

No one in China knew about it. After the news spread, it caused a lot of debate. It was only when someone uploaded the song "Jefferson" that the discussion died down. Adrian had followed the debate and knew about this German group. Naturally, he had also heard of the song "Far Away from Home", which was a very good song.

The lyrics of the song were similar to Sarah's experience, so Adriaan wanted to give her a gift. He also found a good song for Britney. Of course, recording a single wasn't enough. There were other things in the unique gift.

After Britney left, they didn't have any intense activities. Although Adriaan was lustful, he wasn't a pervert. Adriaan left his private lounge to look for Erik Norton. The new songs for Christina's debut album were almost done. Although there were still a few songs missing, the recording had begun.

Perhaps he could give "God is a Girl" to Christina? After all, the Swedish group Roxette's "Jefferson" was released after 2000. He didn't have to worry about plagiarizing it like what happened with Dancing Elves. But after thinking for a moment, Adriaan shook his head. The song was suitable for both Britney and Christina. He didn't have to give it to Christina. This was her debut album, and the more impressive it was, the better.

Of course, more importantly, it was too troublesome to plagiarize a song. Although he played the piano well and could recognize musical notes, it wasn't that easy to write a song. The song "Baby One More Time" for Britney and the song "Far Away from Home" both required him to recall the lyrics. Then, he found a few songwriters and hummed a part in front of them to complete the song.

If he had known this, he would've made a name for himself in music. Adriaan mumbled gloomily and knocked on the door of the recording studio.

Christina was recording behind a glass wall. Her light-colored long hair cascaded down her face, and she was wearing a thin white shirt with her bra vaguely visible. She was wearing a pair of tight jeans that accentuated her curves. Her youthful body exuded a hint of sexiness.

"Well done, Christina." Norton took off his headphones and gave the girl behind the glass wall a thumbs-up.

"Looks like I came at the right time," Adriaan said with a smile.

"Yes, Fristen's singing is indeed very good. She passed many songs on the first try." Norton praised Fristen without hesitation.

"Very good, Christina." Adriaan also gave a thumbs-up to Christina who came out from behind the glass wall.

"Thank you. You said that you signed me because my singing is the best. Of course, I can't let you down." The corner of Christina's mouth curled up slightly. She exuded youthful energy and looked very charming.

"Oh, that's the best compliment I've ever heard." Adrian laughed heartily, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes. He had been hearing such words from Christina a lot lately.

"Oh yeah, how many songs are left, Eric?" He then turned to Norton.

"Two songs." Norton shrugged and took out a few pages of documents. "There are a few good songs here. I was going to show them to Christina."

Christina immediately walked over, took it, and flipped through it.

"She's also very talented in this area. I respect her opinion," Norton continued.

Adriaan was about to say something when a strange feeling came from below.
