Although Angela was stirring her coffee with drooping eyelids, she was actually secretly observing the girl in front of her. Although she looked at the fashion magazine in front of her with an absent-minded look, Angela could still see that she was here. Beneath the absent-mindedness are all kinds of emotions such as hesitation, resentment, hope, etc. Even if she was born in a big family, she has received a good education, but after all, she is a real 17-year-old girl, and she simply wants to hide her thoughts. It's hard.
"So, what are you trying to say when you ask me out, Angela?" Paris finally couldn't hold her breath, closed the magazine in her hand and raised her head, "I think your time is very precious, isn't it? And you The longer you're outside, the easier it will be to be detected, knowing that reporters are looking for you all day now."
"Okay, actually... I just want to talk to you, have a good talk." Although she could sense the change in the other party's mood, she had thought about what to say before she came, but Angela still didn't know what to say after opening her mouth. Where to start.
"If you can only say that, then I'd better go back first." Although Paris tried her best to keep her tone cold, the seemingly sarcastic words still couldn't hide those complicated emotions, but Angela didn't either. Dare to stimulate her, I can only ask in the simplest words possible: "You... I mean you... How are you now?"
Paris bit her lip hard, but her tone was still cold: "It's nothing, just like that."
Angela sighed: "I know it was my problem that day, I didn't handle it well..."
"No, you handled it very well. No one can handle it better than you. If I were to face a lingering guy, maybe I would humiliate her severely." Paris seems to have used it well It took a lot of effort to hold back the excitement.
"Come on, Pari," Angela said with a hint of pleading in her voice, "I know you must hate me now, but... dammit, I mean, I mean, maybe I can do something..."
She gestured with her hands, but what she was about to say was choked in her throat again. Angela's sad expression was definitely not fake. Surprise, anger, grievance, etc. flashed in Paris' eyes. She lowered her head, her body trembled slightly, and her hands on her knees clenched into fists. For a few seconds, Angela thought she would cry.
However, Paris did not cry or be angry as she imagined. When she raised her head, she still maintained the initial indifference, and completely concealed her feelings for the first time: "Miss Genius seems to think that she is too rich. Influence, in fact, I have wanted to do this for a long time, so this has nothing to do with you."
These words made Angela feel as if she had been stabbed hard in her heart. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but Paris had already stood up: "Sorry, I think I have to leave." Then she went straight without waiting for her to speak. Leave the table and head towards the door.
Angela stood up and watched her back disappear at the door of the cafe before she sat back in the chair with a hint of dejection. She never thought that it would turn out like this in the end.
You idiot, you can always deal with anyone decently, but why did you say something out of your mind at that time? ! Angela covered her forehead angrily, just because those things that haven't happened and may not happen again
She knew very well that Paris would pester her just to get a word of recognition, but she... Angela closed her eyes and sighed, things seemed to be irreversible, although Paris was in a hurry, Angela was still able to see. Something came out, and the other party had apparently partially forgiven her, but it was worse.
The so-called partial forgiveness means that they will go their separate ways and never have contact again in the future. Compared with Angela, she would rather let her vent to herself. After all, she has an inescapable responsibility for such a thing to happen, and that is Nikki, Pari. s sister!
Heck... but it doesn't seem like it's going to work for the time being, maybe wait a few weeks for Paris to calm down and then figure out a way to talk to her, and hopefully the two of them won't... Go a step further.
Angela drank the coffee, and quickly checked out with a hint of bitterness.
Christmas will be spent in London this year, albeit with some depressing blips along the way - like a long talk with his parents, or William inviting her over as a guest. But overall it's still enjoyable.
The respected Prince William didn't say anything special, it seems that he just regarded her as a normal friend who can chat, but after Angela promised to keep emails and exchange MSN numbers in the future, he secretly made a secret to his brother Harry " V" gesture, although Angela saw it and saw it clearly, she could only pretend not to see it.
As for the conversation with her parents, I didn’t say much. Anyway, some of her thoughts have been conveyed through the godfather, and the two naughty little guys were added in the middle, so in the end, it was basically a family affair, just some topics. …
"The two of them are much more naughty than you at the same age, and even Jane has more prestige in front of them than me." The mother, sipping black tea, looked at the two little guys squeezed in Angela's arms and said, the two The kid immediately put his mouth up in disgust, while Angela hurriedly hugged them tighter and comforted them and said, "Okay, Mom, not every child will be as mature as me, Willie and Ike have always been there. It was a good performance, wasn't it?"
After thinking about it, she looked at her father and changed the subject: "Hey, Dad, tell me how you met your mother in the first place?"
"Why do you want to ask this all of a sudden, dear?" The father sitting behind the desk raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, Dad, it's not like I don't know what you guys have done. I'm 18 years old, you can't keep these things hidden for the rest of your life, right?" Angela laughed, looking like the paparazzi that can be seen everywhere on the street.
The husband and wife looked at each other, smiled and shrugged, and then the father said, "Actually, it was a difficult time, but it was a treasure for me and your mother. wealth."
"Your father was right, Chrissy, and we didn't fall in love at first sight," nodded her mother, "I met your father when he was secretly working outside without your grandfather's knowledge, even though Jedi was tall and handsome back then. He's handsome but I don't like him, and I don't think a guy who's slick on the outside and scruffy at home isn't a gentleman at all."
"Wow," Angela heard this for the first time, "so how did you end up... come together?"
"We would date out of the need for face, not a real date. I still remember when we had a small verbal agreement, and then a series of misunderstandings and quarrels until..." The mother tilted her head and thought, "You Dad raped me."
Puchi! This was not Angela's voice, although she opened her mouth in disbelief, and then wiped her father's mouth and said eagerly: "Wait, Mary, I remember we have reached a consensus on... ! "
"Of course, I said 'you're rape,' and you nodded to admit it." The mother put down the teacup in a leisurely manner.
"No no no, I never said that, and don't you think it's inappropriate to use that word?"
"Please, Jedi, you already admitted it, do you want to deny it now?"
The sweaty Angela grabbed her younger brother and sister one by one and slipped out of the room. She never thought that even such a speechless thing would happen to her parents! Although she really wanted to know the specific situation, the two little guys shouldn't appear in such a place, so she could only hold back her curiosity and slip away in the voices of the little ghosts asking "what are mom and dad talking about".
This is the family topic at Christmas. Although Angela wanted to ask privately afterwards, but after thinking about it, it was okay. But speaking of the way her parents communicated, it was really like her and Jonathan. Well, fortunately, they have broken up.
After the 25th, she spent another day with Lulu, Xia Xia, who came to play, and a few little ghosts. Angela entrusted Alizee to Annie's care, and went to the two-person world with Kate. They had a good time in London for a few days. Although most of the areas were already too familiar to them, there was a Greater London area that was enough for them to visit. Of course, visiting Rowling's house was a must as an annual repertoire. of.
With the release of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in September this year, the series has become more and more popular, and sales in the UK and US alone have reached a high enough place, let alone Since then, it has radiated to Europe, Canada, South America and even the whole world, and Magic Mom has also become more and more popular.
"This is just the beginning. With the publication of this series, it's not far off when everyone officially calls you Magic Mom." Angela said with a smile while teasing Rowling's daughter.
"Magic Mom? I like that title," Rowling poured a cup of coffee for Kate. "You know, Angie, a film company has approached me for the film adaptation rights of the novel."
"Someone must say that her vision is absolutely right." Kate said scornfully.
"Isn't it?" Angela shrugged, "By the way, Joe, I'm going to start shooting in 2000.
In the first episode, when the time comes, the audition role will have to be checked by you. "
"2000? It just so happens that the fourth book should be released around that time. It's called "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"," Rowling said, giving Angela an interested glance, "Except for the appearance of new characters. , the story will not be the same as before.”
"Of course, of course, the style has begun to change since the third book, didn't it?" Angela said casually, but Kate frowned: "Joe, since you're already a full-time writer, why can't you? Will it be published next year?"
"Dear Kate, this is probably the episode with the most pages in the entire series, and - I have to revise some settings, some details need to make some small changes." Rowling said, and glanced again intentionally or unintentionally Glancing at Angela.
