"Why is the name list shorter than last year's?" Adriaan asked the girl who was scribbling on the bed as he flipped through the birthday guest list.
"Because I have a plan. It's not good to have too many people." Little Emma giggled without even looking up. Her legs were swinging back and forth, and she was hitting her butt from time to time.
"You're not even inviting Kyla?" Adriaan asked purposely.
"Why not?!" Little Emma finally flipped over and laid on the bed. "But Kyla said that she has a movie to shoot, and it was arranged by you, so she can't come to my birthday party."
She suddenly sat up and looked at Adriaan with a confused look. "You must know, Eide? She's still in London. Don't tell me you didn't go to her house before coming here. "
"Oh, of course I did, but I didn't ask if she would come to your birthday party. I thought it shouldn't be a problem, but I didn't see her name on the name list, so I asked you," Adriaan said without changing his expression. He then sighed in his heart.
He always felt that Little Emma was plotting something. Otherwise, why would she insist that he come to her birthday party? The last time he had to break up with her was a few years ago, but she warned him very seriously. Based on Adriaan's understanding of Little Emma, it was impossible that she didn't have a "plot". Unfortunately, he finally got the chance, but he still couldn't get anything out of her.
"Oh, what did you say just now? You have a plan? "Seeing that Little Emma still didn't believe him, Adriaan immediately changed the topic.
Speaking of this, she suddenly became interested. She excitedly showed him the things she had written and drawn. "I plan to go abroad for this birthday. At first, I wanted to go to Iceland. After all, it's near England, and the scenery there is very good. But the weather is very cold these few days, so I gave up after thinking about it. Now I've decided to go to Spain. From Malaga to Valencia, I'll go around the Mediterranean side of Spain. Of course, I'll definitely go to Barcelona. "
Hearing Little Emma's excited words and looking at the route she had drawn, Adriaan suddenly felt that he was overthinking. Maybe she really just wanted a fun birthday? So when Little Emma grabbed his arm and swung it around, indicating that he had to finish the trip with passion, he agreed. "Okay, I promise."
Then, with a slap, Little Emma planted a solid kiss on his face. Seeing this, Adriaan could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.
After a bit of preparation, little Emma's friends gathered together. Other than Eric who played Harry, George who played Ron, and Rachel who played Ginny, there were also some classmates from school. They were all quite young. Fortunately, J.K. Rowling's family was also with them, and the main actors were also there. The crew was a little worried, so they privately communicated with Adriaan and arranged for a few assistants and bodyguards. Fortunately, there wasn't only an adult, Adriaan. Otherwise, it would be troublesome and awkward.
Just like that, the strange tour group set off. The group spent a day and a half in Malaga, then went to Valencia, where they celebrated Little Emma's birthday. Adriaan purposely booked the first floor of the hotel for the event. Little Emma didn't pull a prank with the cake like before. Instead, she made a serious wish when she blew out the candles. When asked about the specific wish, she just smiled and didn't say anything. Even when Adriaan asked, she didn't say anything. Her eyes never left Adriaan.
Well, this was just a small interlude, at least in Adrian's eyes, just a small interlude. All in all, the birthday party was quite lively. After all, most of them were young people, and there were quite a number of children among them. The trip would have been quite interesting, if … nothing else had happened.
"Coming." After the doorbell rang, Adriaan, who had just finished his shower, came to the door. He peeked through the peephole and quickly opened the door. He pulled Little Emma in and frowned. "What's going on?"
The little girl was wearing a bathrobe and had a towel in her hand. She was also carrying a bag that seemed to contain some toiletries. The bathroom door wasn't very close, so her neck and chest were all exposed.
"There's something wrong with the shower in my room," Little Emma shrugged. Little Emma shrugged. "I called room service and they said they wouldn't be able to use it for a while, so I had no choice but to come here to take a shower."
As she spoke, she tugged at his bathrobe with interest. A glint flashed in her eyes. "You've already showered? That's perfect. "
Although Adriaan found it strange, he didn't think too much about it. He nodded and sent her into the bathroom. He didn't call room service for confirmation. Instead, he sat in front of the table and turned on his laptop.
"Eide, can you come and help me?" Little Emma didn't spend too much time showering. She quickly poked her head out of the bathroom and called out.
"What now?" Adriaan got up and was about to go over, but he immediately became alert.
Little Emma acted like she didn't see it. She grabbed the ends of her wet hair. "I need to clean up my face. Can you help me blow dry my hair?"
"That's not a problem." Seeing that she was wearing her bathrobe properly, Adriaan relaxed and came to the bathroom to blow dry her hair.
"How nostalgic!" In the misty bathroom, Little Emma, who was tidying up the things she brought and enjoying Adriaan's service, sighed. "When I was young, Eide would always blow dry my hair after showering. He was very gentle and careful. It made me very comfortable."
"You were still a little kid back then. Emma, I couldn't have let you do it yourself, right?" Adriaan laughed. Amidst the buzzing sound, a nostalgic expression appeared on his face. "I didn't feel comfortable letting others do it, so I had to do it myself. In the end, I spoiled you rotten. As long as I was around, I had to do a lot of things myself. Otherwise, you would be very angry. I still remember that one time, I had something to do and was about to leave. Then, you didn't talk to me for three whole days. It was so sad. "
"I didn't understand it back then. I was just worried that I would lose you." Little Emma explained in a soft voice with her eyes closed. The expression on her face changed from sweet to sad to confused …
"Alright, not bad right? Looks like my skills haven't deteriorated." As he said this, the little girl opened her eyes. She looked at the little girl whose hair was already dry in front of the camera. There was a hint of disappointment on her face. It seemed like she didn't want it to end so soon, but she quickly became determined.
"Not bad. Will you continue to blow dry my hair in the future?" Little Emma looked up and asked with a smile.
"Always will." Adrian rubbed her head and smiled. He then quickly walked out, sat back in his seat, and continued to work in front of his laptop.
"Go to bed early. There are many places to go tomorrow." After Little Emma came out with his things, he immediately reminded her. Who knew that this would make the little girl a little angry.
"Do you think I'm troublesome? Can't I stay here for a few more minutes? " She placed her hands on her hips and asked in an interrogative tone. She frowned as if she was serious. Adrian was confused for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to react. "Of course not, I just wanted to remind you, that's all …"
"So you're saying I'm extra?" Little Emma didn't let it go.
"Okay, okay!" Adriaan raised his hand with a bitter smile, "You can stay here. Go back to your room whenever you want. Of course, I sincerely suggest that you don't stay too late. It's not good for your health. Also, I need to rest."
Then, he warned solemnly, "Of course, don't even think about staying here overnight!"
Little Emma snorted in disdain. She then dropped the things in her hands and quickly moved in front of the laptop, "What is this?"
"Mhmm …" Adriaan scratched his head, "This is work. I handle some daily affairs through email. Because I have to accompany you on vacation, Yini can't come with me, so I have to use this method to contact you. Of course, there aren't many things, and I check them during my break. It won't take up the vacation. "
"Tell me about it." Little Emma seemed very interested, "Although I've heard you talk a lot about making movies, I've never heard you talk about other work. Why don't you tell me about it, even if I don't understand?"
She said as she sat on Adriaan's lap. She raised her head and looked at him with wide, sparkling eyes. Even though Adriaan frowned at her action, he still agreed after a few seconds of hesitation, "Okay, you know, even though I'm making all kinds of movies and TV shows most of the time, I'm still …"
He began to speak, and as the little girl nodded to indicate that she understood, he smelled her beautiful hair and body fragrance at such a close distance. Even though she was so close to him, Adriaan didn't say much and couldn't help but ignore some of her little movements.
"That's it, I don't need to go into too much detail. When they bring out the finished product, if they're not satisfied with it, then let them take it back and redo it. Of course, I'll tell them what they're not satisfied with and what my opinion is." That was the end of the explanation, and Adriaan finally realized that something was wrong.
The girl in front of him didn't seem to hear him at all. She sat on his lap and pressed her whole body against his. Her face was inches away, and her mouth was slightly open. Her hot breath blew directly at his face, and it instantly made his mind sway.
"Oh Ma …" Adriaan's throat moved involuntarily, and he finally spoke. But before he could continue, those two soft lips blocked his mouth. They were so soft and moist that he subconsciously sucked on them.
Then, Adriaan suddenly stood up, pushed the chair away, and took a few steps back. He looked at little Emma with a serious expression, "What are you doing?!"
Even though she was caught off guard and almost fell, the girl didn't look unhappy at all. She stood there and looked at him with bright eyes, "I'm doing what I've always wanted to do."
As she spoke, she slowly opened the belt of her bathrobe and slowly took it off. There was nothing inside except a pair of pure white underwear. Pure white skin, a small lotus flower, and a body that didn't have any curves but was exceptionally seductive. The girl's unique body full of innocence and temptation was displayed in front of Adriaan without reservation.
"Damn it!" He couldn't help but whisper, and immediately turned around and covered his forehead with his hand.
"Put your clothes on, Emma …" Adriaan's body froze as soon as he said this. A pair of hands reached out from behind and hugged his waist.
"I love you, Eide," little Emma said shyly behind his back. "I want to be your woman."
Even though he vaguely guessed that little Emma had done a lot of things in the past few years, he couldn't help but fall into a daze when he heard this. He wanted to tell himself that he was dreaming, or that this was little Emma's new prank, but the warmth on his back reminded him that she was serious.
"Wait … wait, Emma …" He pulled her hand away and walked a few steps forward. He turned back to look at the girl, and then immediately turned his head away. His mind was a mess, and after a while, he stammered, "Today … is your birthday … do you know … do you know how old you are?"
"Of course, that's why we came to Spain." There was a hint of pride in little Emma's voice. She stuck out her little chest proudly, "I've looked up a lot of legal books for this day. In Spain, as long as I'm completely willing, we're not breaking the law."
Then she sighed regretfully, "Too bad I only found out about it last summer, or I could've done this on my birthday last year."
Seriously … Adriaan smiled bitterly. He'd never been so flustered before. Because he'd always spoiled her … No, not spoiled, just spoiled her a little, so he couldn't do anything to her … Maybe this was another kind of …
Damn it! Now wasn't the time to think about this! He cursed in his heart, picked up the bathrobe from the ground, and put it on little Emma. Then he said as firmly as he could, "No, Emma, I can't do this. Go back and have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, forget about this."
"Why!" Little Emma suddenly screamed and jumped to the side, staring at him in disbelief like an enraged kitten.
"Because …" Adriaan wanted to say that it was illegal, but little Emma had obviously thought about it. No wonder she'd suggested a trip to Spain, so he choked for a few seconds before saying, "It's not appropriate."
"Listen to me, Emma." He squatted down and grabbed her shoulders, "You're just impulsive, understand? I've been taking care of you for so many years, so it's normal that you're dependent on me, but that's not the whole of your life. You still have a long life, and you'll definitely meet a man who'll treat you better. He'll do everything he can to make you happy, and he'll treat you wholeheartedly. He'll build his happiness on top of your happiness, and he'll … give you everything he has. You should … go on a date with him, not … not me … not a playboy like me. "
Even though Adriaan tried his best to convince little Emma, the more he said, the more he couldn't go on. The conflicting feelings made him unexpectedly at a loss. It was like … the originally chaotic feelings were suddenly separated, and he had to choose one side, but no matter what, it wasn't appropriate.
"I don't want to!" Little Emma didn't buy it at all. She bit her lips, and her chest heaved up and down. Her breasts rose and fell violently too, "I don't care about anything, I only want you, Eide. I only want you. I love you, understand?"
"Yes, I understand, but I think you might be confused …" Adriaan still wanted to persuade her.
"Don't tell me that I don't understand love, I know how I feel!" She suddenly slapped his hands away and shouted, "Who was the one who constantly comforted me when I was the most helpless? Who was the one who always patiently completed my unreasonable requests? Who was the one who always bathed me, dried my hair, dressed me, and told me stories? I remember it all, I remember it all! I've never forgotten it. Maybe I didn't think much about it when I was young, but when I understood what I wanted, I never treated you as an outsider again! "
Speaking in an intense tone, the girl's eyes were already glistening, "Do you still remember? When I was four years old, what did I say in front of Kate at the amusement park? I said I wanted to be your woman, so everything was decided at that time. I've waited for more than ten years, and now I've finally waited for it. Why do you still reject me?! "
Adriaan's hand that wanted to comfort her dropped weakly. He didn't expect little Emma's feelings to be so intense. The more it was like this, the harder it was for him to make a decision.
"You have to know, Emma, if … if … what would Kate think? What would Lily think? Kate watched you grow up, and Lily grew up with you. She treats you as a sister, they … "Adriaan scratched his head, as if he couldn't find a better word.
"I don't care!" The girl was unusually determined, "No matter what others think of me, even if they say I'm cheap, slutty, shameless, even if the whole world criticizes me, I don't care!"
She widened her eyes and looked at Adriaan with a longing gaze, but he remained silent. The room became quiet. After a long time, Adriaan took a deep breath and said with clenched teeth, not daring to look at her, "I refuse!"
"That's your decision?" Little Emma's face turned a little pale. She stared at Adriaan, but he stood there with his hands crossed and didn't look at her.
"I understand." The girl slowly put on her bathrobe, a little dejected. After pulling up the belt, she sneered, "It's okay. Even if you don't want me, someone else will. I think Eric or George will be happy to have me as a guest, and the assistants won't reject me either. Do you remember what I said? This is Spain. As long as I'm willing, it's in line with the law. Also … from now on, you don't have to care about what I do! "
With that, she straightened her body with a pale face and slowly turned around. One step, two steps, little Emma finally reached the door. Just as she grabbed the door handle, an arm reached over from behind, wrapped around her waist, and lifted her up in an instant.
