"Did you know, Megan? You really hurt me." Adriaan didn't directly answer Jessica's question. Instead, he pulled out a chair and sat in front of Megan. He stroked her face and sighed, causing Megan to be at a loss for what to do.
However, Adriaan didn't give her a chance to speak. He continued to sigh, "You see, you didn't tell me until you were four weeks pregnant. You even told Jessie first. Am I that untrustworthy, little fox?"
"Of course not …" Megan hurriedly tried to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Jessica helped her by saying, "That's normal. After all, I'm the only one who has experience in this area."
"Oh?" Adriaan narrowed his eyes and looked at Jessica. Jessica shrugged without any fear, "Megan already knew. Don't think that you hid it well. She just didn't say it out loud."
"Is that so?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at the cramped Megan and quickly shifted his gaze back to Jessica's face. Jessica coughed dryly and looked at the ceiling. She was so focused that it seemed as if the patterns on the ceiling were very beautiful.
Without a doubt, even though Megan had long since discovered that the playboy Adriaan already had a few children, Jessica had still instilled a lot of things into her. She might have even guided her to pay attention to these things. Due to their similar experiences and the fact that they had both been troubled by the same problem, their relationship had always been good. Otherwise, Megan wouldn't have looked for Jessica first before looking for him.
However, Adriaan didn't take all of this to heart. He could more or less guess why Jessica was playing tricks on him, and he believed that she knew when to stop.
Thus, Adriaan didn't continue this topic. Instead, he held Megan's hand in his and patted it. He looked at her with a serious expression and said, "Then, tell me, little fox. What do you think?"
"I … I don't know …" Megan bit her lip and looked at him as if it was difficult to speak.
Seeing her like this, Adriaan could roughly guess what she was thinking. He looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, this is the only thing I can't give you."
Megan's expression immediately darkened. Unlike in her previous life, she had been abducted by him as soon as she set foot in Hollywood. Although she still had some utilitarian thoughts, she quickly suppressed them as she saw the wider world around her. On the other hand, the sense of security that Adrian gave her made her even more enchanted. Of course, after Megan got over the initial shock, the thought of getting married uncontrollably popped up in her mind. Unfortunately, whether it was Jessica's hints or Adrian's words, it was impossible.
"You have to know, Megan, if I agree now, Jesse will definitely pounce on me and bite me first, and it'll be a very big bite." Adrian said with a smile.
Megan, if I agree to marry you now, Jessie will definitely pounce on me and bite me, and it'll be a big bite. " Megan subconsciously snorted, but when she noticed Jessica's expression, she immediately shut her mouth. However, she couldn't straighten her lips.
"Alright, let's not talk about this." Adriaan changed the topic at the right time. Then, he picked Megan up in front of Jessica. "From now on, rest well. Don't worry about anything else. Give birth to this child, and we'll raise it together. I believe it'll be a very cute child."
Megan subconsciously nodded, and Jessica's expression became even more unsightly. Clearly, they had made an agreement before coming here. Unfortunately, because Megan was used to relying on Adriaan, it didn't work. Although Megan immediately reacted, she had already agreed. Was she going to go back on her word? She could only make the best of it.
"Then let's do it." Adriaan seized the time to settle this matter. "I'll get someone to send you back. When I'm done here, I'll come and accompany you. Of course, if you want, you can also wait for me here. It won't take too much time."
"Um … I'll go back." After hesitating for a moment, Megan said, "I'll wait for you at home, Eide."
"Alright, I'll be there soon." Adriaan smiled and kissed the corner of her mouth. Then, he looked at Jessica and said, "If you're worried, Jessie should be fine now. Let her accompany you."
Megan immediately looked at Jessica. Although the latter was a little depressed, she still nodded and said, "I'll accompany you, Megan."
Just like that, this incident was temporarily put aside. However, when they were sending them out, Adriaan asked Megan to wait outside the door for a moment. Then, he pulled Jessica back into his office.
"Why do you have to do it at this time, Jessie?" Adriaan immediately pressed her against the wall and whispered in her ear, "Don't you know that this will make Megan worry and make me feel very awkward?"
In the end, Jessica was just looking for an ally. She wasn't stupid, but she wasn't very smart either. After being captured by Adriaan, coupled with Mary's birth, the idea of leaving became very faint. However, this didn't mean that she wouldn't fight for her own interests. However, her relationship with Kate and the others could only be considered ordinary. She only interacted with them when they played together as a mother. Even so, as a young mother, she was still somewhat out of place.
Thus, when Megan uneasily told her that she was pregnant, she immediately realized that Megan was the best candidate for an ally. They were very similar in many aspects, including getting pregnant at such a young age. Furthermore, from her previous experience, she knew that Adriaan would definitely not let go of her so easily. If Jessica didn't think of a way to rope Megan in, who would she rope in?
"Shouldn't I be asking you this question, Eide?" Jessica struggled for a while, then bit her lip and looked at him. "If it wasn't … why would I …"
Although her words were unclear, Adriaan still understood what she meant. He immediately smiled and kissed her. "Alright, it was my fault. I apologize."
"What's wrong with apologizing? Are you going to change it? " Although she said this, Jessica had clearly softened. "I really don't know when you'll be satisfied."
Adriaan smiled and immediately covered her mouth. He didn't hesitate to violate her. For women who repeatedly threw tantrums, what was needed was a bit of rough and ambiguous punishment.
Sure enough, after being forcefully kissed, Jessica's little fists kept pounding on his chest. However, her crimson face and the affection in the corner of her eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Alright, now go back with Megan and comfort her. I'll be there soon." Adriaan then opened the door for her and slapped her on the butt. The sound was quite crisp, and Jessica and Megan rolled their eyes.
However, this was only the beginning. Even if he managed to appease Megan, there were still many things that Adrian had to consider. For example, Megan had just turned 18 in mid-May, which meant that according to California law … He was wondering if he should think of a way to push Megan's date of birth forward by a month, so as not to leave any evidence that could be used against him.
Speaking of which, this hit rate was really strange. After Zeta Jones finished filming "Happiness Terminal", she had been pestering him, hoping that she could get pregnant. However, it had been a few months, and there was still no news. Plus, this year, Nicole was also going to apply for a "VIP card". Adriaan had been a little worried. Was there any way to get them pregnant in a short time? In the end, after a classic scene with Megan, he was immediately shot. Thinking about the situation with Jessica a few years ago, he really didn't know what to say.
Thinking of this, Adriaan's expression suddenly changed. He picked up his phone and made a call.
"Eide? Ha, why did you call me at this time? I just woke up. "Little Emma's lazy voice quickly came from the other side.
"Well … because I just finished some work, and a thought suddenly popped up in my mind. What is my little devil doing now? So I picked up the phone and called you. "Adriaan calmed himself down and said in a teasing tone.
"Don't try to lie to me. You wouldn't call me because of this." Although that was what she said, the joy in her tone was very obvious.
Adriaan smiled bitterly and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. After chatting with her for a while, he pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Oh right, Emma, how are you recently? Do you feel any discomfort, like nausea or vomiting? "
"What are you talking about? Why would I feel nausea or vomiting?" Little Emma's confused voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm just … I'm just worried about you." Adriaan gritted his teeth and raised his hand into a fist, but he couldn't really punch it down.
"Oh?" Little Emma seemed to be suspicious, and her tone became a little untruthful. "What if I have this kind of symptoms?"
"Um …" Adriaan hesitated for a moment, but still continued, "Don't tell anyone, just let me know. Then I'll come quickly … take you … to the hospital for a checkup."
"Okay, then come over now. I did have this kind of reaction last night. Oh, I also had it two days ago in the afternoon, but I didn't take it to heart. "Little Emma said with a serious face.
"Re-really?" Although Adriaan maintained his calm, his scalp still felt numb.
"Of course … it's fake!" Little Emma laughed out loud.
"Emma!" Adriaan couldn't help but yell. Even though he was pretty sure that Little Emma was just messing with him, he still felt relieved when he heard that.
"Alright, alright. Who did you accidentally knock up again this time?" The overjoyed little devil chuckled as he asked on the other side.
Adriaan was speechless for a moment. Just how mature was this girl?
"I'm serious, Emma. If it's true … then it's going to be very serious." He sighed as he spoke into the phone.
"It sounds really serious. Then I'll be merciful and tell you that I really don't have any of these symptoms. Don't worry, Eide. I'm good, very good. I've never felt so good before. "Little Emma reassured him.
Even though Adrian was still a little worried, he was able to relax completely. Although he was thrown outside when he had sex with little Emma for the second time, he had always kept his virginity inside because of his habit. So, if he accidentally got it on the first try like Jessica did, it would be a huge problem.
Alright, I can put this aside for now. I'll change my schedule to accompany Megan at night. Even though I can't exercise in bed because I'm pregnant, don't forget about Jessica. Because of this, the two of them became even closer. After that, Adriaan had to inform his women and … hmm, Cameron who was supervising the post-production of Transformers.
What surprised him was that Kate, Monica, Sophie, and Blanchett weren't too surprised. They were already numb to it, numb to the point that they thought it was normal. It would be weird if no women got pregnant with his child one day.
Only Gwyneth, who just became a mother not long ago, was a little dissatisfied.
"Do you know, Eide? You're a stallion, a stallion used for breeding." That was what she said. Of course, it was more of a tease than a dissatisfied one. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to have a child.
"Oh, Eppie, your mother actually called you a foal. That's too much." Adriaan said as he played with the little girl who was less than half a month old and couldn't even open her eyes. His words forced Gwyneth to take back her words.
She gave birth at the beginning of May, and it was still a beautiful little girl. Her name was Eppie, which meant Apple. This name was chosen by Adriaan based on a certain habit. Although it sounded strange, he believed that even if he didn't give her this name, Gwyneth would have done so sooner or later.
Look at the names she prepared in the morning, Arrigian and Bronna. They seemed pretty good, right? The former was an orange, and the latter was a banana. They were not even as good as Apple. Therefore, in the end, Adriaan still used the name Eppie. Anyway, from Lily to Patricia, except for Eleanor, it was basically the same. Why should Eppie be an exception?
Even if it was a daughter, Adriaan still liked it very much. However, he had to pretend to sigh. It was another daughter. By now, everyone was more and more surprised. This was already the seventh daughter. Was it really God's punishment for Adriaan?
Therefore, after knowing that Megan was pregnant, Kate simply sighed. "Lily is going to have another sister."
Compared to the calmness of the women, Cameron lost his temper.
"I knew it, Adriaan, I knew it! It was like this last time, and it's the same this time! What the hell are you trying to do! "He roared at him in his office.
"Calm down, Jamie, calm down. You have to listen to my explanation." Adriaan rarely called him by his nickname. He raised his hands and waved them innocently.
"Explanation? How are you going to explain it?! " Cameron's eyes were almost as big as copper bells. "Are you going to tell me that compared to 'Doomsday Black Angel', at least 'Transformers' has already been canceled?"
"Isn't it …?" Adriaan replied carefully after thinking about it.
"What if we need to reshoot it? What if we need to dub it? What if we need to make further stills?! " Cameron shouted. "Oh, what the hell? Is this how you are a director and producer, Eide?!"
"Calm down, Jamie!" Adriaan comforted him again. "Calm down first. You don't want the whole studio to know about this, do you?"
Cameron, who was glaring at him, wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth a few times, he finally took a few deep breaths and gradually suppressed his emotions.
"I know, this is my mistake, although I didn't expect this to happen." Adriaan said, "But since it has already happened, let's think about how to remedy it first."
Speaking of this, he paused and then said, "Why don't I invest another 20 million to make the movie more exciting? Anyway, it is already on the verge of overspending. "
"You want to buy me over?" Cameron, who had calmed down, narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, don't say that, Jamie!" Adriaan waved his hand. "I just want to make the movie more outstanding."
"20 million doesn't seem to be enough …" Cameron said as if he was talking to himself.
Adriaan couldn't help but feel a little amused. He raised his hand again and pressed it down. "Don't worry, Jamie. It doesn't matter how much the investment is. What matters is whether it is worth it."
"You will see." Cameron completely calmed down. He sighed and leaned on the edge of the desk. "Eide, as a friend, I have already advised you several times. Even if you get tired of it, I still have to say it again. You have to be careful. Don't always go overboard. You are the most amazing person I have ever met. No one can be like you, no one can do this. You are unique. In the film industry, don't let these small things ruin you. "
He spoke sincerely and sincerely as a friend, which made Adriaan feel very good.
"Thank you, James!" Adriaan used his full name and looked at him sincerely. "No matter how many times I have said thank you before, it won't stop me from saying it again. I will be more careful."
"I hope so." Cameron had an expression of "disbelief" on his face, but after a few seconds, he laughed out loud. Adriaan also laughed. Everything was said without words.
In the following days, apart from work, Adriaan's main focus was to accompany Megan. Fortunately, because of his arrangements, although she was somewhat famous now, she had not reached the level of popular young girl idols like Lindsay or Hill, so it was not difficult to make her disappear from the media temporarily. If this happened after "Transformers" was released, the degree of trouble would be at least ten times greater.
As for the loss of popularity, oh, there was no need to worry. After Mellon roared at the studio that day, Adriaan carefully looked at the post-production work for Transformers again. He was almost sure that the final release date would be next summer. By then, Megan should have already given birth and recovered her figure. With such a blockbuster, would he still have to worry about losing popularity?
Although spending time with Megan was his main focus, it did not take up too much of Adriaan's energy. After all, she was only a little more than a month pregnant. Therefore, he still paid attention to the films that were about to be released during the summer, such as The Day After Tomorrow, which was released at the end of May.
