With a yawn, Kate opened her eyes in a daze. In addition to the fact that she had enough sleep, she also felt that someone was looking at her. Immediately, a chubby little face appeared in front of her. Kate was surprised at first, but then she laughed. If it weren't for the fact that she had exercised a little too much last night and was too lazy to move now, she would have reached out and rubbed the little head of the other party. "Hey, dear, what are you doing here?"
Lily blinked her eyes and covered her mouth with both hands without saying a word. She stood by the bed and looked at her mother with some curiosity and some confusion.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else? "Sensing that something was wrong with her daughter, Kate finally propped up her upper body and asked.
Because of the excessive movement, the people around her also woke up. Adriaan's voice followed, "Who are you talking to, dear?"
"Um …" Kate didn't know what to say for a while. Then, Adriaan hugged her from behind and kissed her exposed white shoulder. Only then did he realize that his daughter was in front of him.
"Um … Hi, dear … Good morning …" Adriaan scratched his head a little awkwardly and pulled the quilt higher than Kate's chest.
Lily still covered her mouth and did not say a word. Her big eyes looked back and forth between her mother and father. At the same time, she kept glancing behind them as if she was waiting for something. Adriaan was about to speak when the other two voices sounded.
"Is it already dawn?"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Then, Sarah and Charlize got up and hugged Adriaan from both sides. Almost instantly, the sleepy look on their faces disappeared. Similarly, Kate and Adriaan also slightly changed their expressions because they remembered what happened last night.
In front of the bed, Lily finally put down her hand covering her mouth. She raised her chin and looked between her parents and the two aunties. Her curious look became stronger. The corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes rolled as if she had thought of some mischievous idea.
"Well, Lily, can you leave first?" After a long while, Adriaan finally spoke and pulled Sarah at the same time. Charlize did not reveal anything because Kate was blocking him, but Sarah was easily exposed.
The little fellow's eyes sparkled, but she did not answer. She just kept looking at him and them. In the end, she even folded her arms and held her chin, imitating her father's usual way of thinking. That childish face made her look very cute, but now was not the time to appreciate it. So, Adriaan quickly said, "Lily, listen, we still have things to do, and you shouldn't disturb us without knocking at the door."
Hearing her father's implied accusation, Lily immediately pouted unhappily and snorted softly, but she still obediently walked out. However, after taking two steps, she turned back to look, took another two steps, and looked back again. After repeating this process three times, she finally arrived at the door. After opening the door, she tilted her head and looked at them for a moment, then with her nose in the air, she skipped out.
At the same time, the four people on the bed breathed a sigh of relief.
"What the hell, it's all your fault, Eide! You bastard, your mind is only full of sex! " On the other side of the living room, Kate, who had already dressed up, said to Adriaan in a low and fierce tone in a low voice, "I have made it clear that I don't want it, but you still pulled me in! It's okay to close the door, but you didn't even lock the door! "
"Wait, I admit that it was my negligence not to lock the door, but after you said that you didn't want it, it was Sarah who insisted on pulling you in, okay?" Adriaan, who was also dressed, raised his hands.
"I don't care about that, I only know that this is your fault!" Kate said somewhat rudely.
"Wow, when did you become … you guys …" Adriaan narrowed his eyes and thought of something, revealing a faint smile. Kate didn't care so much, and directly straightened his chest, as if saying, "We have formed an alliance, so what?"
"Well, let's not talk about this." Adriaan changed the topic again, "In fact, I don't have to worry, this is just an accident. Lily is only four years old, she won't understand."
"Really?" Kate sighed, and finally put away his aggressiveness, and looked at his daughter on the sofa. The little fellow was playing happily with Sarah, and Charlize, who was reading the newspaper, would occasionally interject a word or two.
"If she thinks this is normal because of what happened today, what if she will be like me in the future, lying with a man with a few women, what will she do?" She asked a little absent-mindedly.
"I won't let that happen, Kate, I promise." Adriaan stopped smiling, and showed a serious expression.
Kate didn't speak, but just looked at Lily, who was laughing from time to time on the sofa.
"Hey, dear, are you happy?" Adriaan came in front of his daughter, and Sarah tactfully moved aside.
"Yes." The little fellow nodded, and a pair of eyes curved into a crescent moon.
"But Dad is not very happy." He then said seriously, "My most adorable daughter, my most precious treasure, has done a very rude thing today."
Lily's mouth immediately flattened, and she looked at her father with some grievance, "Really?"
"Of course, we have said before that you must knock on the door to enter the room. If I enter your room without knocking, what will you think?" Adriaan said patiently.
"Then I will be very happy!" The little fellow immediately raised her arms and cheered.
Adriaan couldn't help coughing. Well, she was only four years old, and she didn't know what privacy was.
"But you won't in the future. When you grow up, you will have your own secrets that you don't want Mom and Dad to know." Adriaan tried to explain to his daughter, but the little fellow shook her head like a rattle, "No, I won't have secrets."
"But you have to grow up …"
"Then I won't grow up!"
Seeing that he was rendered speechless by the pestering Lily, there was a low laughter around. Sarah covered her mouth, and Kate, who was a little worried just now, also smiled. Charlize, who was still reading the newspaper, also sighed and shook his head. Even You Jihui, who came over with a plate, couldn't help but bury her head.
Adriaan deliberately frowned and glanced at them, pretending to be dignified. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all. Whether it was Kate, Sarah, or Charlize, they all looked like they didn't care about him at all. You Jihui immediately left after pouring the coffee without hesitation, but the little fellow giggled when her father showed a depressed look.
"Well, let's not talk about this. In short, you will understand in the future," said Adriaan after grabbing Lily into his arms and punitively rubbing her little head.
Then, Lily, who screamed a few times in this "ravaging", finally asked the question that she had been wanting to ask and that her father had been waiting for, "Dad, why do you sleep in the same bed with Mom, Aunty Sarah, and Aunty Charley?"
Although the other three parties were doing their own things, at the moment, they had all pricked up their ears.
"Why can't we sleep in the same bed?" Adriaan gave his daughter a rhetorical question.
"Um … um …" Surprisingly, Lily actually answered after a long "um". "Isn't it only Mom and Dad who sleep in the same bed?"
After saying this, Charlize didn't feel anything, but Sarah couldn't help but show a trace of uneasiness. However, Kate immediately held her hand, and all of this was seen by Adriaan. That's right, they are very similar in personality, so they get along very well. But now is not the time to think about this, and he immediately turned his attention back to his daughter.
"Yes, most of the time, it is true, but there are also exceptions. For example, when the relationship has reached a certain level, we can naturally sleep … in the same bed." When Adriaan said this, he smiled meaningfully at Kate and the others, and then, without exception, he received three eye rolls.
The little one still seemed to understand, and Adriaan immediately carried her in front of him, "In short, when you grow up, you will naturally understand these things slowly."
As soon as she heard the words "when you grow up", Lily was a little depressed. Once she became depressed, she could always come up with some strange ideas, so her innocent and childish voice immediately sounded, "I also want to sleep in the same bed with Mom and Dad, Aunty Sarah, and Aunty Charley!"
"And also Aunty Yujihui." After a pause, she added so.
If Adriaan was drinking water at this moment, he would definitely spit it out, and Sarah and the others had already cast a surprised look at the little one. Not far away, Yujihui's face was a little red, and even Charlize, who had been calm as if nothing had happened, was the same. Kate even glared at Adriaan with some anger.
"Well — this can't be done, dear." For the first time, Adriaan felt helpless, "Because … we are adults, and adults and children should not sleep together."
"Ah …" The little one opened her mouth in disappointment, and then her eyes lit up as if she thought of something, "Then when I grow up, I will sleep with you!"
"Eide!" Kate couldn't help but shout at this time, and her eyes swept between Adriaan and Lily, as if she was very anxious.
Adriaan gave her a look to calm down, and then smiled and pinched his daughter's face, "Then let's talk about it when you grow up."
Seeing that the little one was about to say something, he immediately changed the topic, "By the way, dear, I remember you once said that it was a little lonely at home, right? Don't worry, you will soon have two younger brothers or sisters. "
Sarah and Charlize didn't feel anything, but Kate's face became very ugly after hearing this. Although Adriaan didn't say that Monica and Sophie were pregnant together, he didn't hide it either. Although Kate never noticed it, there was indeed a trace of pride in her heart that she was the only woman Adriaan had a child. Now, this special exception was going to be broken, and she certainly wouldn't be too happy.
But this mood came and went quickly. Anyway, she was also the first woman Adriaan was pregnant with a child, and she was Lily's mother. It was also because of this that she was very dissatisfied with Adriaan later.
"How can you say that to her? Do you know what that means? What if Lily really does it in the future?! " Kate asked Adriaan in a fierce tone, who had finally coaxed Lily to stop thinking about it. "You said that you wouldn't let that happen. You are simply condoning her to develop in that direction!"
Although Adriaan, who had just barely managed to deal with the little one, was a little tired — it was much more difficult to coax a child than to coax a woman. Their thinking was more jumpy, and they could always ask some questions that couldn't be explained to them now. For example, the little one was very puzzled about her younger brothers and sisters, because she had told her before that she came out of her mother's belly, and her mother's belly was at least ten months bigger, so she asked why her mother's belly didn't get bigger, and then asked if it was in the belly of Sarah or Aunt Charlize, which filled the whole living room with a strange atmosphere.
In short, even though Adriaan was very experienced in dealing with the little one, it still took him a lot of effort to barely deal with her, but then he was pulled aside by Kate.
"Don't be so nervous, dear." Adriaan said in a good temper, "She is only four years old now. Do you expect a four-year-old child to completely understand this complicated situation? When she grows up, she will naturally understand. What we need to do is to constantly guide her in the process, and not let her judge things with a childish and immature world view. "
As he said that, he hugged Kate and kissed her smooth forehead, "You are her mother, and I am her father, so if I say that I won't let that kind of thing happen, it definitely won't."
"If you weren't so complicated in the beginning, this wouldn't have happened," Kate said after a slight struggle, but in the end, she softened in his arms.
"I'm sorry." After a moment, she said in a low voice, "I was a little too excited."
"It's okay, I understand." Adriaan patted her gently on the back, and then laughed again, "It seems that taking on 'Agent Beauty' is not a bad thing for you."
"Huh?"
"You know, I haven't seen your shrewish look for a long time. Oh, that's really nostalgic. I really like that look of yours."
"Really? What you really like is for me to change from this look into submission and compromise in your hands. "
"Hey, how can you doubt me like this? Although it sounds good, I was thinking, maybe I can start to ask the nutritionist to make a plan for you, and more systematic training in fighting skills to prepare for 'Tomb Raider'."
"I'm very happy to do that, because it means that I can teach you a lesson if I don't like you!"
"Oh! Be gentle! "
This incident was over for the time being. The lesson learned was that in the future, if he wanted to have a 4P with Kate, Sarah, and Charlize in his mansion, he must lock the door well, to prevent fire, theft, and Lily. But the reward was also good. This was the second time he caught all three of them in bed together. Although it took a lot of effort to catch Kate when Sarah first suggested it, she was actually the one who had the most fun in the end.
The three of them are indeed very similar, and they are my best collection. Adriaan sighed, but he did not forget to comfort the other woman.
"New Zealand is also a very beautiful place. Although it's winter now, the snow there is definitely not worse than Hokkaido, so you must go and see it." Holding Yukihui in his arms, Adriaan said while kissing her earlobes.
"Mhmm." Yukihui nodded obediently.
Although under Adriaan's encouragement, she gradually integrated a lot, and also made a few good friends, and would go out to play from time to time, she was still so submissive and gentle in front of him.
"Of course, you can bring the game console. I haven't practiced for a long time. This is a good chance for you to beat me." Adriaan laughed. "Same old rules, if you lose …"
As he said that, he lightly slapped her perky buttocks, and Ji Hui's ears quickly turned red.
Speaking of which, "The Grudge 2" could also start preparing. The movie had a good response in Japan and North America, and it earned a lot of fame for Yukihui. Although because of Hollywood's prejudice, she was still between the A-list and B-list, there were many producers who came to her door. But Adriaan basically turned them down. These roles were still the same as Hollywood's treatment of Asians, and Yukihui had no need to take them.
However, in the past two years, there were indeed no movie roles that were suitable for her. Even in "The Grudge 2," she changed from the female lead to a supporting actress. Although Adriaan also had plans for her future, there was no way for the time being. It seemed that she could only look for roles in various TV series. Anyway, with him around, she did not have to worry about being trapped in the TV industry.
After staying in various gentle villages in Los Angeles, Adriaan finally returned to New Zealand. Although he stayed longer than the last time, the efficiency of the crew was not lower than the last time. One reason was that Peter Jackson's team had the highest number of scenes, but another reason was that the other teams had improved.
"I am very happy to see this, everyone." Adriaan announced at the meeting, "Peter is still the best, but the others are doing well too. Unlike Peter, who started to adapt this novel to the big screen a few years ago, and none of you can understand the script so clearly and thoroughly like him, nor can you imagine the appropriate scenes in your head. But you have not relaxed. You are still improving, and this is what I want to see the most. You are all very good!"
Naturally, he had to praise them for their achievements. Although the other teams were still not satisfactory, they were better than the previous two times. As long as they changed in the direction he wanted, Adriaan would not be stingy, no matter what.
The most outstanding was still Jackson. Although Adriaan still picked out some flaws after watching the scenes he was in charge of, the overall quality was very much in line with his requirements. It had to be said that the fat man had considerable potential. Although Adriaan was much younger than him, he still listened to everything he said and put it into action.
