Vol 2 Chapter 17: I want to be your woman

"That I want that Ed, vote for that." Emma, ​​excited, pulled Adrian's horns and kept shaking, staring at the huge Winnie the Pooh hanging on the wall, regardless of what he was holding. A teddy bear.
"Okay okay, don't worry." Adrian calmed a few words, glanced at the shop owner who was smiling beside him and sighed helplessly, a sudden laugh came from behind him, But when Adrian turned his head, Kate looked away for the first time, as if he knew nothing about silk.
With a shrug, he simply took out the five pound note and exchanged 50 ten-pence coins with the owner, and then began to look at the square in the distance. With the sound of Ting, the coin hit the white square in the upper right corner, which was ten thousand miles away from the established target. Adrian shook his head and exhaled, aiming at the yellow square in the center and throwing it again. .
Ting still missed; re-invested, still missed; continued to vote, missed; then voted, missed ... In a blink of an eye, 50 coins have been cast, and Winnie the Pooh is still hanging on the wall, and opened His mouth seemed to laugh at his bad technology.
"Technology is terrible." Emma grumbled and said unhappyly.
"Don't complain to me." Depressed Adrian immediately squeezed her face.
The little girl gave him a punch back, but she probably knew it was not lethal, so she made a face again. But after looking at the Pooh bear hanging, a small adult waved his hand like: "Forget it, I can't bear to watch it anymore, let's go play other games."
Having said that, she couldn't hide Adrian when she looked at the doll, so he immediately took out another £ 5 and arrived at the smiling shopkeeper: "How about we try again, Emma?"
"Try again?" Emma blinked her eyes. "I don't think it will work ten more times."
It's ... hitting people. Adrian looked annoyed at the little kid in front of him, but he was only four years old, but he was much smarter than his peers, which probably had nothing to do with her own experience.
"I'm afraid so," Adrian sighed, squinting at Kate who had just sneered at the little girl's words. "So, I think, we have to find a foreign aid."
Emma then looked at Kate, her mouth involuntarily beating, although she had understood a lot of things as she grew older, she still instinctively rejected Kate and did not know why.
Gently squeezing the little guy's face again, Adrian straightened up and slightly owed Kate: "Can you help me, beautiful lady? Help a child fulfill her little wish."
Kate snorted softly, took the coin and started tossing it aside, once, twice, three times, four times, the smile of the owner's smile instantly fixed on his face, but he recovered quickly and shrugged. Later, he took the Pooh Bear down and handed it to Adrian. By the way, he said something like "Congratulations". Adrian just spent enough coins here to buy two more Pooh Bear dolls.
"Thank you." Looking at Emma waving the pooh bear with joy, Adrian said to Kate next to him, followed by a sigh of sigh, and only missed four times before hitting, compared to N times before China really hits people, but this also confirms one thing, he really has no talent in this.
"I did it for Emma." Kate said lightly, her eyes were on the little girl.
Adrian smiled and didn't speak again, why wasn't he? The Rodrigues have a daughter. Although they are still very good to Emma, ​​unlike many families who have their own children, they look at the adopted children differently, but partiality is inevitable. It ’s just that for sensitive Emma, ​​even if it ’s just a little different, she can be aware that the little girl is very smart, so she will choose to bury these in her heart, but it ’s okay once or twice. If it ’s long, Not very good.
Adrian still remembers that she had stopped Rodin from calling her because she wanted to surprise her, and then she came lightly to the little girl's bedroom door to see the situation. Emma sat at the desk and drew pictures seriously, with a slight loneliness between her eyebrows. There were walls dedicated to her paintings in the bedroom, and some of them were a man and a woman walking with the girl in the bright sunshine. On the grass, but more of a round-headed guy, it is natural to say who painted it, although Adrian did not admit that this inexplicable image is himself.
Because of this, he took Emma to the amusement park to have fun, and he tirelessly wanted to win that Pooh bear. There are a lot of Winnie the Pooh dolls bought on the street, and each one looks better than this. If he wants, it's not difficult to pack the little girl's bedroom with dolls, but that's not what Emma really wants.
Kate understands this, so even though Emma has always been unfriendly to her, she helped win back the Winnie the Pooh. So when Adrian reached out and grabbed her waist, she struggled only slightly.
The little girl who had been running in front of her always realized what she was doing. She looked back at the two and then turned back. She squeezed into the middle of the two unceremoniously, followed by her chest tightly. Grasp Adrian's arm, with the expression "I'm a kid, who am I afraid of?"
Adrian couldn't help laughing, Kate rolled her eyes, and Adrian hugged the little girl: "Okay, little guy, how long have we been playing, how about we find a place to rest? For example, the one in the front restaurant?"
Emma poked the ice cream in the cup with a spoon, and the white hillocks were poured with a layer of liquid chocolate, plus a few cherry embellishments, which was particularly appetizing. She dug a block and put it in her mouth, then put out her little tongue and licked it in the ice cream. She accidentally smeared a white trace on the tip of her nose, and then giggled.
However, she seemed to have a good time, but in fact she listened to Adrian and Kate in front of her ears.
"Why should I follow? It's enough to have a secretary by your side, isn't it?" Kate said badly.
"Because you're in London," Adrian replied with a grin. "If you're not here, I won't go back to Los Angeles to pull you on, but the problem is that you're here, so why not go and see them together?" Besides, this is not a complete commercial activity, it is more because he is going to Prague with Charlize. "
"Even if I'm in Los Angeles, even if you go back to Los Angeles, you don't necessarily come to me on purpose." Kate whispered this, and then gave the answer before Adrian spoke: "Give me time to think . "
"It won't work, Kate. We're going to visit the first family in two or three days, so you don't have much time to think about it, and I need the answer now." Adrian said with a bit of blame,
"Don't you plan to spend more time with Emma?" Kate asked in surprise.
"I'll accompany her for a while after finishing these things." Adrian blinked and Kate came to his senses, glanced at the little guy pretending to be dealing with ice cream, got up and went to the bathroom.
"Enough?" Adrian asked Emma with a smile.
"I ..." The little girl flattened her mouth before realizing that everything she had done fell into their eyes.
"Where are you going? Can I follow?" She looked at him with a pitiful expression on her face.
"Don't worry, my dear, I just go around the whole island to help those in need," Adrian explained, "I will be back soon."
"But ... I want to go," Emma whispered, biting her lip and flashing grievances in her big eyes. "Kate can go with you, can't I go with you?"
"Well," Adrian scratched his head, wondering what to tell her for a while.
"That's because ... Kate is my woman." He simply tried to fool in such a sentence.
"What does that mean?" The little boy blinked inexplicably.
"Um ..." Adrian then found himself trapped by his words, so he shifted the subject, "Yes, why are you always unfriendly to Kate, Emma? Where does she make you Feeling troubled? "
"I don't know, anyway ..." The little girl shook her shoulders as she learned from an adult, and then thoughtfully looked at Adrian, just as she was about to say something, went to the bathroom of Kate came back.
"Well, I promise, are you satisfied?" She said after sitting back to him.
"It's so good for me, Kate, I knew you wouldn't let me down." Adrian then grabbed Kate and kissed her on the cheek. Kate didn't hide even though she turned her body.
Turning his head again, he noticed that Emma was staring at her unconsciously, and she didn't notice the big cream on the corner of her mouth. Adrian couldn't help chuckling, took out a paper towel and wiped the traces on the little girl's face, and touched her head before she said, "Eat right? So how about we continue to play?"
He beckoned to a nearby waiter and put his credit card on the table.
"I decided" The little girl's hands clapped on the table, and she jumped down from the chair, but then she only had half of her head above the table without any momentum. Emma immediately discovered this, and after a few toes, she had to sit back to her position honestly. This funny look made Adrian and Kate laugh, and even the waiter who came to get a credit card couldn't help smiling.
"I decided" Despite this, Emma continued to pat the table and looked at Adrian with a serious look.
"I want to be your woman," she declared righteously, holding her small and raising her chin high, she didn't understand how shocking her words were.
Alas, Adrian took the last sip of coffee and sprayed it out. Fortunately, he covered his face with a cup in time. The coffee did not spray out, but it was sure that his face was full of splashes. With a careless look at Kate outside, his elbow slipped and his chin almost fell on the table; the waiter who was about to leave dropped the credit card directly to the floor.
"I want to be your woman, Ed" The little guy seemed afraid of being shocked enough, and then said it again loudly
"You ... do you know what you're talking about, Emma?" Adrian wiped his face, stuttering.
"Hell, Ed, you taught her something." Kate looked at him angrily.
"I swear, it's none of my business," Adrian raised his hands with a grin, and then stared at the waiter standing beside him. "Can you check out, Mr. Waiter?"
"Ah? Oh yes" The waiter finally reacted, and hurriedly left Adrian with a strange look.
"How did you think of this, Emma?" Adrian stared at the little guy in front of him angrily and funnyly after sending the waiter away, but those eyes cast around him could not care less.
Probably realizing that she was in big trouble, Emma shrank her neck and lowered her head and mumbled, "You are not ... aren't you saying that, Kate can follow you everywhere ... because she is you Woman ... "
Adrian suddenly showed a stupefied expression. She didn't know what to say at all. Kate's face, which was still very angry, suddenly became weird, a little annoyed in embarrassment, and ... happiness, and finally she turned her head. I don't know where to look.
In this way, the two adults and one child did not speak, and the atmosphere between them became inexplicable.
=
Located on the estuary of Scotland's east coast, Edinburgh is based on rolling volcanic ash and rocky cliffs. It was the capital of Scotland hundreds of years ago. Although not as big as London, it has its own culture and history. In the history of Britain, as one of Scotland's closest cities to England, there has been no war in Edinburgh.
"I've been here, and when I was very young, frankly, I don't really think that St. Giles Cathedral is much more attractive." Kate said as he watched the cathedral passing by the window. "It's not as good as Westminster. The temple cathedral is at most similar to the temple church. "
"Really?" Charliez's voice was uploaded from the front co-pilot, and she turned to look at Kate with a smile. "To be honest, Kate, do you think this is true or because you are English?"
"Of course the former, or do you think I would be biased in this kind of thing?" Kate countered with a raised eyebrow and sneered. "What about you, Charlie?"
"Me? Both." Charlize shrugged, turning back without giving her a chance to speak, and Kate, who had missed a punch, was gritted. Although it ’s just a few words like
then you,
which means too much, Kate wo n’t ask
are you deliberate or based on ignorance
, so she wants to ask
Do you feel so unfair to me, or because of Adrian? "
After the two women met, the tit-for-tat within such a small range did not stop. Of course, they are all very good, and most of the time Charlize will have some advantages, just like before.
Although looking at these things, Adrian always looked in disregard, talking with Emma in his arms. It is dangerous to blend in with this level of dispute. No matter whether it is to one side or to maintain balance, there is no good fruit to eat, so ignoring is the best choice.
If you want to get around, at least you must have the degree of Julia and Monica. The thought of two women cuddling together or crawling side-by-side at night and letting him pick, Adrian couldn't help but feel excited, if Charlize and Kate could do the same.
"What's that?" Emma's voice that rang in her ear suddenly pulled him back from her imagination, settled, looked at the little fellow in her arms with some shame, and then looked in the direction she was pointing. .
"Ha, that's the children's museum I told you about. There are all kinds of toys in it. Would you like to see them?"
Emma eventually stayed with him. After the checkout that day, Adrian immediately took Kate and Emma and hurried away, not even staying at the amusement park. They went directly to the street and stopped by the Thames. .
Afterwards, neither Emma, ​​who felt that she was in trouble, nor Adrian and Kate who were embarrassed, said nothing about it, and returned home after strolling in the streets of London for a while.
Of course, Adrian had a chance to admonish the little girl in private, and never say it again. He said it very seriously. Fortunately, all people I heard except Kate at that time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If the Rodlings heard it, God would know what kind of reaction it would cause.
Emma also agreed very seriously and solemnly, but on the condition that he had to take her with him when he was running around the island this time. Adrian could only agree, but it turned out to be a good decision, at least when Charlize and Kate fought each other for a good reason.
However, there must be a formal reason to bring the little guy, which is easy to handle. The fund was originally completed with the help of her parents, and it also happened on the day when it was settled, so you just need to take an excuse to take a look at her parents. Whimsical work is fine.
In addition to visiting the little guy this time in Adrian's visit to London, the other thing is to choose a few families to accept the charity foundation he set up a few years ago to help single mothers. Yes, single mother, Edinburgh, visit, needless to know what it is.
Some things have changed because of his appearance, such as Miramax being weakened by his appearance and eventually being acquired by him, such as the sexual comedy popular a few years in advance because of the "American Pie" hot sale; but some things still follow Moving forward with inertia, such as the future magic mother JK? Rowling, because of divorcing her husband, brought her nearly one-year-old daughter back to Edinburgh, and lived on a meager relief in a small apartment.
