"Frankly, I never thought I would meet your father in this situation." Looking out the window at the street view, Adrian said a little depressed.

"And when do you want to see my father? When Mary starts school, or graduates from college? " Jessica, sitting next to her, asked, and Adrian got stuck.

"I knew, ED, you didn't think about it at all." Jessica sighed, complaining. "If you can, you'd like my dad never to find out His daughter has become the mother of the child. "

"Well, I admit, I did miss it," Adrian grabbed one of her hands and held up his other. "But I never thought that I would never tell your father that such a thing could never be hidden, and the sooner I told them, the greater the chance of understanding. Well, what I want to say is that Joshua said it might be a good thing for us to let slip

"Really?" Jessica blinked. "You're not going to be angry with Joshua, are you?"

"No, I promise." Adrian said seriously, and then looked at the street view outside, coughed, made a look like nothing happened and asked: "by the way, you said your father almost went back to his room to get a gun after knowing you even had children. Is that true?"

Jessica immediately laughed, eyes curved, like crescent, with a little bit of pride, very lovely.

"Don't worry, ED," she said in a long voice, as if she had caught him to the core. "My father is usually very kind. It's more serious. Don't take the initiative to shift your eyes when looking at him, or you will think you are guilty. "

Her mouth was wide open, and even her white teeth were exposed. If it was normal, Adrian would have to come over and tease her with his mouth, but now she just picked his eyebrows: "OK."

Soon, the car drove to the destination, and the driver ordered two words, took out the gift - a bottle of expensive Diqin Chateau wine - Adrian immediately took Jessica to the door and rang the doorbell. Soon. There was a footstep on the other side of the door, and Joshua appeared in front of them, with an obvious sign of relief.

"Hi, ED, welcome to our house." Joshua greets them warmly, then winks at them and makes a "careful" lip.

"Hello, Joshua. Nice to meet you. " Adrian nodded and went into the room with Jessica.

The living room is not big. You can see Jessica's mother, Katherine alba, playing with Mary beside the sofa, and it is Jessica's father mark Alba who looks at them with a smile on the chair next to her.

"Dad." Mary found her father and mother's figure for the first time. She called out, then left her toys. He raised his arm and came running unsteadily.

"Hey, Mary," Adrian grinned, squatted down to pick her up, and then bit into her little, fleshy face, a three-year-old. It was the loveliest time, "did you have a good time at my grandparents' house?"

"Happy, grandma is good at telling stories. She doesn't lose to dad at all, but grandfather doesn't like to laugh." Said the tearful little fellow, looking over to the alba.

Mark, who had already stood up, changed his smile and put on a straight face. With a very unfriendly look at Adrian, seems to hate him very much, and silk does not hide this. Catherine kept a polite smile, but her eyes were rather complicated, worried and helpless.

Adrian just wanted to talk, but he turned his head back alertly, and the little guy who wanted to sneak into the air.

"Mary, what did I say? It's not a good habit. " Adrian stares at her daughter. She didn't bite Mary, but she didn't crack. She just giggled.

"Dad's ears are just like that Is it delicious? " Adrian asked angrily. She liked to bite on his face when she was a few months old. Now she is more than 3 years old and still can't change it. It's really depressing.

"Well." Mary nodded her head as if she had been wound up. All the people around her could not help laughing, except mark alba. Well, he's still more or less hooked up the corners of his mouth, but looking at Adrian's eyes is still very disgusting.

"Jesse, are you sure Mary's hobby isn't inherited from you?" Adrian looks at Jessica.

"Why not you?" Jessica asked with a smile, "we don't have this kind of hobby in our family, but -"

she reached out and took her daughter from his arms. "I always thought that this was Mary. She knew that her mother had been wronged and she wanted to get justice for her mother."

Adrian rolled his eyes, glanced at Joshua in a snickering smile, and then held out his hand to Jessica's mother: "Hello, Katherine. I'm sorry I've only come to see you today. Please call me Adrian or ed."

"Hello, Adrian." Catherine shook hands with him with a complicated but polite smile."Hello, mark..." Adrian then turned to mark, who snorted, "I don't think our relationship is that far."

But then Catherine gently pushed her husband down, and mark reluctantly took his hand: "whatever you want."

"Thank you." Adrian kept his demeanor until he let go, and then he took a breath. The other side used a lot of force in his hands. Although it was not enough to make him cry, it was not very good. Although mark is a little shorter than him, because he has served in the army, he is very big. In addition, his skin is relatively dark and he feels oppressive when standing in front of him. It seems that this dinner is not so easy to eat.

Although mark Alba's attitude made the atmosphere in the living room stiff, it was gradually enlivened by Catherine Alba's adjustment. In addition, mark continued to show his disgust towards Adrian without reservation. Basically didn't say anything impolite, so it was quite harmonious until dinner.

"Frankly, it's not easy because everyone knows that the film academy doesn't like unrealistic works. But it's not that there are no opportunities. The film academy has been constantly seeking change and innovation in the past two years, absorbing young people to make myself look less rigid, so I still have some confidence At the same time, Adrian takes advantage of Joshua's opportunity to draw the topic to Oscar, and explains his works for Catherine.

Since we are communicating with our father for the time being, we should start from the mother's side. In fact, he has been quietly courting Catherine through words all night, which does have some effect, but also leads to Catherine always using a pair of Look at your son-in-law's eyes.

"That sounds good," Katherine laughed, lifting the glass up. "Maybe we should toast you and wish you a record."

"Thank you." Adrian also raised the cup in his hand, took a sip and naturally picked up the tissue from the side. I wiped the corners of her mouth for Mary sitting next to her.

"Watch your chin carefully, and why don't you eat any beans?" After cleaning, Adrian tapped her plate again.

"I don't like it." Mary pursed her mouth and shook her head coquettishly.

"That's not good. You've been given very little. You can't eat at all." Adrian raised his finger and shook it, looking like a good dad.

"But my sister said. We're going to fight against the bad dad. " Mary's mouth was still purring, and Joshua chuckled at her seriousness.

"Well, Mary, in that case, either choose to fight and lose. Or choose to fight and fail and pay a price, a big price. " Adrian "threatened" said, the little guy blinked his eyes, and finally reluctantly picked up the spoon and put the beans in the plate to his mouth.

"This is a good girl." Adrian praised, then turned his attention to the table, just caught Catherine's not so good-looking face.

It's not surprising. Mary had said several times before that about her sister, and he and Jessica had only one child, so we can imagine who she was. Even if Katherine was very fond of Adrian because of his demeanor, I'm afraid she would not be too happy in the face of this situation, but it doesn't matter. It's no use just getting Catherine's favor to get rid of it.

"Well, Adrian," said mark. His eyes were fixed on Adrian. "What do you think of being a Hollywood playboy?"

"It's true." Adrian shrugged and didn't shy away. "I'm a real playboy."

"Now, too." Mark raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah," Adrian is still so cool, even if Jessica looks at him, "dating different women always gives me a lot of inspiration and turns it into work. For example, "keep the last dance" was just a common dance story at the beginning. I gave it to other screenwriters after I had an idea. However, with the constant contact with Jesse, some of her feelings made me suddenly think of this idea, so there was the story you saw in the cinema. Up to now, I like the last part of Jesse's dance. It's wonderful

When Jessica finished, he looked down with a smile.

Adrian was sincere, and at least it seemed, but as a parent, arbaf would never accept it. However, they are also difficult to refute, because no one is more in line with the description of this sentence than him. Many Hollywood directors claim that women are their source of inspiration. Roman lorensky, Warren Beattie, Woody Allen, etc. have all said this, but compared with Adrian, it is a small thing.

Not to mention the inspiration of Jessica just now, nor the women who have become popular because of him, and the ideas that he constantly provides for the whole group, just five years and five Oscars are enough to attract many people's attention. Even if it's different from abducting their daughter here, it's not easy to talk in the face of powerful facts. Is it necessary to make a big noise without bearing? Don't forget, they "invited" him here.So mark calmly asked another question: "you don't plan to get married. Is that right? "

"It used to be. Now, it's impossible." Adrian is still very sincere.

Catherine did not speak again, and Jessica fell into some thoughts. Joshua's eyes turned and tried to say something, but he never spoke. After finishing the table and staying in the living room for a few minutes, Adrian and mark went upstairs to the room Man to man conversation.

"I don't like it, Mr. Cowell. I don't like it at all. " After entering the room, mark Alba said rudely, changing his address.

"I can understand, mark," Adrian chuckled disapprovingly. "If Mary grew up and got mixed up with a playboy and even had a baby at 18, I would be very angry. I want to kill him. "

A simple sentence blocks mark from saying what he wants to say. Anyway, he "invited" him over, even if he had to. So even if he wanted to kill with a gun after he knew it, now it's time to calm down. Adrian doesn't need to show weakness to mark. He's not Jessica.

"I've done a little bit of research, Mr. Cowell, and I'm sure there are a lot of girls like Jesse who have been fooled by you." After staring at him for a long time, Mark said again.

"I think you're using the wrong word," Adrian shook his finger. "I've never cheated Jesse. She knows everything about me."

"Jesse is my daughter. I know her very well. She is not a frivolous girl. I have reason to believe that you have hinted or threatened her to be with you." Mark said sternly.

"At first there was a little bit. I never deny that if Jesse is going to leave, I will not stop it, I will send my blessing, "Adrian opened his hand." of course, Mary is my child, and I will not give her to anyone. "

"At last Mark scoffed at the chase. "It's not that I haven't seen such a young rich and Playboy like you. Once you have a crush on a girl, you'll chase after her. When you're tired of it, you'll be irresponsible and ignore it. Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me, boy!"

Adrian narrowed his eyes. He really didn't like Mark's attitude. What did he think he was? Criminals?

"I'm sure you should know, mark, that Jesse and I are in accordance with the law," he said, raising his eyebrow, then raising his index finger before the other person opened his mouth. "You know, Jesse came to tell me that when she accidentally got pregnant, there was a better solution: find a hospital to have an abortion. I believe that with my strength, it's not difficult to find a hospital and doctor who can be sealed off. Besides, it's not difficult to find a hospital and doctor who can be sealed. If you are pregnant for only three weeks, you will not be bothered to pay Jesse a nutrition fee. You may never know what she has experienced

Mark's face turned black.

"But I didn't think about it," Adrian said quickly. "It didn't matter whether Catholicism or fertilized eggs were alive or not. I decided from the beginning what to do when the baby was born. Anyway, it was my child in Jesse's stomach, and I would not let my child go out. You can accuse me of being a playboy and an asshole. You can say that I am morally deficient, but you can never say that I am irresponsible! Absolutely not

Mark was speechless by his fast but forceful words.

"With all due respect, mark, you may care a lot about Jesse, but in my opinion, you are only half a qualified father." Adrian also became more and more impolite. "Yes, you educated her very well. Frankly speaking, although Jesse likes to play and sell well in Hollywood, she can keep her bottom line better than most girls. This is the credit of you and Catherine, but you don't know what she really wants in her heart."

"You say I don't understand what my daughter wants?" Mark frowned, but Adrian went on without saying, "I remember the first time I saw Jesse. She just stood there, in the studio, in front of the camera, eager to show her charm and get recognition. But at the same time, she was very afraid. What if she messed up? What if everyone doesn't like it? She was so eager to show that she was so afraid, worried and insecure that she immediately attracted me, which is the origin of "keep the last dance."

"Jesse told me stories about her childhood, such as illness, long hospital stay, constant moving and lack of friends. At the same time, her parents were too strict with her. I don't mean to say it's a mistake. There's no doubt that children need discipline, but at the same time, they can't feel as if they are trapped in a birdcage, looking at the clouds in the sky but afraid to fly. This is the problem of communication. Mark, father is a model for children. They may be rebellious and disobedient when they grow up, but the image of father will always remain in their hearts. Therefore, whether they are willing to communicate with you and whether they can confide in you depends on the way they used to communicate. "Mark's face is changing.

"Mary and I still think it's a good idea for you and me to communicate with each other so that Mary and I don't think it's a good idea for you and me to communicate with each other
