Chapter 773

"You mean — your parents know we …" Adrian gestured. Britney nodded and looked at him pitifully, not knowing what to do. "You mean … your parents know we …" Adrian gestured with his hand.

What she didn't know was that Adriaan let out a sigh of relief after getting the answer. Thank goodness she wasn't pregnant. He couldn't be blamed for thinking that way. If two women called you less than a second apart and told you that they were pregnant, and then a younger woman came to you in a panic, you wouldn't be able to help but think that way.

If Britney was really pregnant, it would be troublesome. Although it wouldn't be easy to settle it, it wouldn't be too difficult for him with his current identity. However, it would have a terrible impact on the girl's development in the future. However, if Britney's parents only knew that she had slept with him, it would be much simpler.

"Don't worry, don't worry, dear. Come here and talk slowly," Adriaan comforted her and pulled her to the sofa.

Perhaps his calmness infected her, Britney finally calmed down a little, but she was still frowning.

"I … I don't know what's going on," the girl stuttered. She frowned and tried to recall, "I eavesdropped on their conversation at home yesterday afternoon … They were very angry … I think I said something wrong … I'm worried, Eide, I'm scared. If … if they … I don't know what to do. I don't want to leave you, Eide …"

When did she say something wrong? Adriaan wanted to facepalm. This was really Britney's style. He had reminded her many times not to say anything, but she clearly didn't take it to heart. However, Britney was looking at him with her hands raised in front of her chest like a puppy waiting to be rescued. It was hard to resist.

"Then think carefully. What did you say and when did you say it, Bob?" Adriaan said gently. "Take your time. Don't worry, I'm here with you now."

Britney nodded obediently and took a deep breath. She grabbed his arm and leaned against him, thinking carefully, "I think … it should be … the night before yesterday or the afternoon before yesterday … Yes, it should be the night before yesterday! Because … I remember Mom and Dad didn't look too good after dinner. That's right, that's right, but … "

She paused and looked up at Adriaan timidly. "I don't remember what I said."

"It's okay. Do you remember what you heard yesterday afternoon?" Adriaan waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Hmm … probably, it's terrible. It will … affect our family negatively … Damn it, how could they say that …" Britney leaned closer to Adrian and said indignantly. Apparently, she was dissatisfied with her parents' conversation. "They said … we have to take measures, obstacles and opportunities. I'm sorry, Ed, I didn't sleep well last night. I've been worried …"

"Relax, baby. It's going to be fine." Adriaan held the girl in his arms after some thought. He placed his hand on her forehead and looked into her anxious eyes. "Do you trust me?"

Britney nodded without hesitation. "I trust you, Eide. I love you. Don't let me leave you."

A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Very good. Now, do as I say. When you go home, don't mention this to anyone, especially your family. Just pretend that it doesn't exist."

"But, Eide …" The girl wanted to say something, but Adriaan pressed his finger on her lips.

"You said you trust me, Boob." Adriaan smiled confidently. "I'll handle this perfectly. No one will be hurt, be it you or your parents. You're still mine. Understand?"

Britney stared at him for a while before she smiled in relief. "Yes, I understand. Eide, I'm yours. I'll always be yours."

"Then, let's go back now. Don't say or do anything as usual. This will be solved soon." Adriaan kissed her lips. "Of course, don't make such a mistake again."

"Yes, I promise. I won't do it again." The girl nodded.

Although it was a little troublesome, it was also an opportunity. However, this was not the most important thing right now. He had to settle the two phone calls first.

In a private room of a high-class clubhouse, Monica and Sophie looked at each other with a strange expression. "This is what you meant by important?"

Just ten minutes ago, Adriaan called them separately, saying that something unexpected had happened and that he could not go to their house for the time being. He needed them to come to a high-class clubhouse and said that it was very important. Monica and Sophie were a little unhappy. After all, it was best to talk about such things at home, and it seemed to be a bad sign. But in the end, they still drove over. They didn't expect to see each other here.

"Yes, this is why I can't go to your house." Adriaan spread his hands apologetically.

Monica and Sophie looked even more strange. Even if she was pregnant, he could not go to her house. Could it be …

"Alright, sit down, ladies." Adriaan greeted them. After they were seated, he gestured for them to take it out.

Monica and Sophie, who were rummaging through their bags, continued to look at each other with a weird expression. Then, they passed the diagnosis report to Adrian.

Mentally prepared, Adriaan casually flipped through the report and found the data he was looking for. He then put it aside and looked at the two silent women. He coughed and said, "Yes, you guessed it right. After Monica called to tell me that she was pregnant, Sophie also called to tell me that she was pregnant."

Neither Monica nor Sophie answered and remained silent. Adriaan shrugged and continued, "I just flipped through the diagnosis report. Both of you were pregnant two weeks ago, so I thought about it carefully. If … I'm not mistaken, then it should be the time two weeks ago …"

He made a gesture and did not speak again. The two women in front of him became embarrassed. They both lowered their heads and drank their coffee.

After the threesome in Sicily, Sophie and Monica got along well. She also played with Adriaan without any bottom line. Plus, Monica was experienced and had been instructed by Adriaan long ago, so she acquiesced to this situation. As long as the three of them were together, it was basically a threesome. After she came to Los Angeles, this happened more often. So, in the threesome two weeks ago, Sophie and Monica were shot together.

Because Monica wanted a child, Adriaan did not wear a raincoat when he was with her, even when Sophie was with him. It was just that he stayed at Monica's place every time. However, there would always be one or two exceptions. Two weeks ago, he must have stayed at Sophie's place, and then coincidentally hit the target, so …

"This … this is really …" Sophie made a gesture and covered her forehead, not knowing what to say.

However, Monica quickly adjusted herself. She looked at Adriaan and said in a teasing tone, "Dr. Burlet is right. Eide, your 'little tadpole' is really energetic."

Adriaan could not help but laugh. He grabbed Monica's hand and patted it gently. "I said, dear, I will definitely give you a child."

"I always remember, Eide." Monica sighed. "Although it's not perfect, I'm still very happy. Very, very happy."

As she spoke, she put Adriaan's hand on her face and looked at him with a serious and satisfied gaze.

"If it's a boy, he must be very smart. If it's a girl, she must be very beautiful." Adriaan smiled. "In any case, this is our child, Monica."

Monica nodded, then looked at Sophie next to her. She stood up and walked to the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the scenery outside.

Adriaan, who knew what she meant, immediately sat in front of Sophie. "How is it?"

"How else can it be? It's not good at all." Sophie said with some annoyance. There was a complicated look in her eyes.

"Why? You know, a little life has begun to grow in your belly. In ten months, you will be a mother, Sophie. " Adriaan said with a smile. His fingers slid gently across her face. "Being a mother is a very sacred and beautiful profession. I know you are worried, but believe in yourself. You will be a good mother."

"But …" Sophie opened her mouth to say something, but she hesitated and could not say it.

"I will also try my best to be a good father. As I just said to Monica, this is our child." Speaking of this, Adriaan suddenly showed a sly smile. "I think I have proven my ability as a father."

Sophie could not help but show a strange expression. Monica, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, could not help but laugh. Although she was a little far away, she could still hear their conversation. After Denis and Aniston's wedding, many people knew that Adriaan had a daughter.

"Can you handle it?" Sophie snorted sarcastically, expressing her dissatisfaction in this way.

"Of course." Adriaan said without shame. "I can even deal with the two of you. Why would I be afraid of two children?"

Monica laughed again. Sophie rolled her eyes at him, but she quickly calmed down. She had already accepted a lot of things from Adriaan. She was already used to it, so it was not a big deal to accept it again.

"Well, in the next ten months, you can rest well. You can go anywhere you want, as long as you ensure your health. Of course, you'd better move together …" Adriaan began to make arrangements. "Sophie will cancel the rental house and then move to Monica's house. How about that?"

"You mean, Monica and I should live together?" Sophie tilted her head and looked at him. "Two or three months later, we will go in and out of the house together, pregnant, and then be photographed by the reporters?"

"Don't worry, that won't happen. I just want you to take care of each other. Anyway … you're pregnant at the same time, aren't you?" Adriaan spread out his hands. Gwyneth and Blanchett had been living together for so long, and the reporters had not caught them.

"And it'll be convenient for me to accompany you." He continued, "Although I have a lot of things to do, it's not that I don't have time to spare. If I don't see your belly slowly bulging, I will never be happy."

Sophie said something in a low voice, then sighed and looked at Adriaan. "It's definitely a mistake to know you, Eide, but I always make mistakes again and again."

"He has always been like this, Sophie." Monica walked over and pressed Sophie's shoulder from behind. "He's always tempting you. Once you make a mistake, it'll be too late to turn back."

"You make it sound like I'm a bad guy, Monica," Adriaan protested.

However, Monica didn't care at all. She lowered her head and continued to say to Sophie, "Why don't we go to the baby supplies store now, Sophie? These things have to be prepared early. "

"Okay." After thinking about it, Sophie agreed to Monica's proposal. Since Adriaan admitted that this was his child, she had nothing to worry about.

"Do you need me to go with you?" Adriaan stood up as well.

"No, you'd better go do your own thing." Sophie said bluntly. Although there was no need to worry, she was still dissatisfied. Of course, she couldn't vent her dissatisfaction on Monica, so Adriaan would be the scapegoat.

"Yes, you'd better go do your own thing." Monica also stood on Sophie's side, but when she left, she secretly winked at Adriaan.

You are indeed my Monica. Adriaan smiled and sent them out of the clubhouse. Watching them get in the car and leave together, he returned to his car, started the engine, and returned home. He was not worried about Sophie. If he had not interfered, her child would have been three years old by now. She actually liked children very much. Otherwise, she would not have spoken in an agitated tone on the phone. The little grudge in her heart was more like a small temper tantrum, and it would soon disappear as it had in the past.

In fact, although Sophie refused Adriaan once, she couldn't refuse him a second time. After he disguised himself and accompanied them to the baby supplies store twice, she began to discuss the child with great interest. Of course, the two women didn't talk about anything related to marriage from beginning to end. Monica knew Adriaan's mind, and when she met Sophie, she didn't believe in marriage, so … this was a good thing.

"I don't know if it will be two boys, two girls, or a man and a woman in ten months." Adriaan would occasionally think of their bellies in the study and murmured to himself.

"Why not three boys or three girls, or even two men and a woman, two women and a man?" Charlize asked after hearing it once. As Adriaan's personal secretary and assistant, he was so capable and trusted, so he naturally knew about Sophie and Monica's pregnancy.

"In that case, it could be four boys or four girls, or two boys and two girls, three men and a woman, three women and a man …" Adriaan laughed. "Come on, Charley, it's not that easy to get pregnant with twins."

Then he stared at her belly with interest. "If you want a child, I'm happy to help, dear."

Just like before, this tease was met with a supercilious look from Charlize.

If there was anything bad about Sophie and Monica's pregnancy, it was that Adriaan couldn't make love with them in bed for a long time. Apart from them, only Gwyneth and Blanchett had sex with him every time. Although he had had sex with Kate, Charlize, and Sarah before, he hadn't repeated it so far. Most of the time, it was one-on-one, and the occasional threesome was not fixed. Kate and Charlize, or Kate and Sarah, or Charlize and Sarah, or Sarah and Liv. So it was really a pity.

But it didn't matter. Three or four months later …

Although Sophie and Monica's pregnancy disrupted Adriaan's holiday schedule, he still set off for New York after the New Year. Visiting his uncle had become a compulsory activity every year. But unlike in the past, there was a romantic night with Natalie this time. The house Adriaan bought was on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It was a luxury elevator apartment with a penthouse of nearly 3,000 square feet.

He originally wanted to buy a villa. Although the Upper East Side was expensive, there were still villas. It was just that Beverly Hills covered a lot of land. To some extent, it might be better to describe it as a standalone apartment. But on second thought, it was a little too ostentatious. He bought a place in New York to better date his woman, so he finally chose the penthouse of the luxury elevator apartment — of course, he avoided some areas.

The drawback was that it was a little close to his uncle's house. If they wanted to come over, it would take them at most ten minutes to walk over. The problem was that there was no better place than here. They couldn't go to Brooklyn or Queens, could they? Long Island was a good choice, but it was too close to Natalie's house, and there were many people who knew her. Adriaan didn't want anyone to see Natalie enter his house and then be found by Avner when they were making out.

Visiting his uncle's house was no different from before — well, there were still some differences. After nitpicking, Uncle Anderson more or less praised Adriaan's acquisition of Universal and the stable and rapid development of AC Media in recent years. Aunt Marsha, as usual, complained why he didn't bring Lily with him. But surprisingly, Victor was also at home.

"I heard you completed another acquisition. That's really surprising." Victor praised Adriaan a lot during the chat. Because Adriaan had visited him more often, the relationship between him and his cousin had become more and more harmonious.

"With the rise of the Internet, the structure of the media will change again, just like the emergence of television, but this change is much faster," Adriaan replied. "If you have the funds, you can try to get involved."

"Maybe," Victor answered after hesitating for a while.
