With a soft ding, the cups filled with bubbling liquid collided.
"Congratulations, Chris, for a great performance tonight," said the father, holding a glass and smiling.
"Thank you, Dad." Angela smiled back with the same smile, then looked at the mother beside her father and puffed out her chest.
"Do I have to praise you personally, Chrissy?" Mother sighed amusedly, "I think your father has already said everything he should have said."
"Really?" Angela curled her lips noncommittally.
"Okay okay, you're the best, Chrissy. Especially the encore part at the end, although I heard you sing on the CD, it still played pretty well live." Shaking and teasing, he said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mom!" Angela immediately showed a big smile.
"Sure enough, mother and compliments are different from father's compliments." The uncle next to him deliberately sighed.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle, and Auntie immediately took a photo of him and called out, "Frank!"
"It doesn't matter, what my uncle said is the truth." Angela smiled and waved her hand. "For me, whether it's my mother's compliment or my father's compliment, or my uncle's compliment or my aunt's compliment, it's different. If so, I hope to get compliments from everyone in the family, including Willie, Ike, Lisa, Victor, and... Grandpa."
Speaking of which, Angela's expression changed slightly. The mother who noticed it touched her shoulder with some comfort. Angela smiled back, and then found that her uncle also gave her a comforting look. Did he know?
"Does Chris think I won't praise her?" Grandpa's voice came over at this time, and the old man came to the crowd with a faint smile.
"However, I haven't heard half a word of your comment since the concert ended." Angela immediately took her grandfather's arm and shook it coquettishly, with a big smile on her face and a flash of white teeth. flashed.
"It shouldn't be too late to praise now." Grandpa said calmly.
"I don't think we need to listen." Elena coughed lightly at this time, and pulled her husband away without waiting for her daughter and father to speak. Frank secretly gave Angela an encouraging thumbs up. He also took his wife who was a little puzzled and left.
"Uncle seems to know too? How did he know?" Angela frowned and muttered.
"This kind of thing can never be hidden from the family." Grandpa whispered beside him, Angela suddenly became embarrassed, she glanced at Grandpa embarrassedly, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "It is true. "
"Frankly speaking, Chris, intellectually I don't want to accept it, but emotionally I have to accept it," my grandfather said with a sigh, "I watched you grow up, Chris, you bring It gave us too many surprises, so... when I heard it, I didn't mean to be angry at all, just contradicted in reason, do you understand the difference?"
"Yes, there are usually things that are accepted intellectually and opposed emotionally. I just adjusted it." Angela shrugged, "I understand, because it is difficult for the family to accept or face mine because of public opinion and social opinions. situation, but because of my own reasons, my family thinks it is normal for this to happen, is that so, Grandpa?"
"Yes," the old man smiled bitterly, "do you blame me, Chrissy?"
"Of course not, you have your own considerations." Angela waved her hand, "However, Grandpa, I think you should know that this matter cannot be kept secret forever."
"Of course, it's just... I subconsciously hope that the sooner the better." The old man shook his head and said.
"It's okay, I'll try my best." Angela said suddenly, and then continued after the old man cast an inquiring look: "I try to do something more surprising, so that everyone can emotionally think of me as The situation is... normal."
Grandpa laughed immediately: "Then I'll just have to wait - frankly, you've been doing really well, and the last song tonight called 'time to say goodbye' was excellent.
"It's "time to say goodbye" again, I knew...it's operatic..." Angela muttered, then smiled before grandpa asked, "Thank you for your compliment, dear grandpa."
Almost everyone who attended the celebration reception—well, not everyone, but parents, aunts and uncles, or friends of my grandfather, as well as Rowling, Rickman, Thompson, etc., all agreed that the whole concert was This "time to say goodbye" performed at the time of the encore was the best.
I knew it. Angela was a little complacent while muttering in her heart. Except for the one in Sydney, the previous five concerts basically ended with "my heart will go on" - no way, who made this song become the most widely circulated like "Titanic" What about the classics? But when she got to London, she planned to make a different attempt. After thinking about it and then taking into account the character of the British, and the complexity of the operation of this song can only be put to the end, so she settled down like this, and deliberately Pull a member of the London Philharmonic over to play for yourself. Obviously, the effect is very good.
"How are you, Chris?" After Grandpa left, another familiar person walked over.
Although Angela curled her lips on her stomach, she gave the other person a smile: "Hi, William."
"Excellent concert." William raised his glass with a complicated expression, and repeated it with emphasis: "Excellent."
"Did you come here just to say this?" Angela asked with a smile.
"Of course not... oh, of course it is, otherwise what else can I say?" William said insincerely.
Angela pouted and asked amusingly, "I thought it had been so long, you should have been able to let it go."
"I've put it down," William said with some defense, "I... I already have a girlfriend candidate. You see, that girl is quite cute. Maybe you can introduce us to each other."
"She?" Looking at William's gaze, Angela couldn't help twitching her lips, "I have to regret to tell you, William, you know that she and the tall girl next to her are a combination, right? So? They are a couple!"
William couldn't help coughing dryly, his eyes bulging out as if he would fall to the ground at any moment: "Yes... a pair?!"
"Yes, you heard it right, and I - there is no need to deceive you." Angela said with a smile, followed by a whole face: "Who are you going to reveal this news to this time?"
"Hey, I told my grandmother about your secret only when I had to." William, who had recovered, said quickly.
"Oh?" Angela said in a long voice, she folded her arms and looked at each other with a half-smile.
"Grandma kept asking why, I had no choice but to... I had to..." After a few minutes, he finally gave up his defense, "Well, I admit that I thought it might be possible to save this way..."
Facing William's wry smile, Angela shrugged: "Obviously, your wish did not come true."
"Yeah, it didn't come true." William sighed, "But that's fine, at least I don't have to... no more thoughts."
Angela raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and before she could speak, William suddenly laughed, it was a clear smile: "That's it, Chris, I'm going back—your concert is really good Excellent, I hope you will not refuse if you are invited to be a guest at Kensington Palace in the future."
He waved his hand freely, then walked into the crowd, grabbed his younger brother, and left the hall together. Angela watched them go out, and waved to Harry from a distance.
Is this the end? What if it didn't even start and how could it end. Of course, I'm glad William has gotten rid of his obsession. Angela thought so, glanced at the hall and thought that there was nothing to do, so she left the celebration reception alone and returned to her room.
Take a good shower and go to bed. Angela planned this. It's a pity that the wishful thinking came out, but things might not go the way she arranged. Just after she came out of the bath wearing a silk bathrobe, the doorbell of the room rang.
"You?" Angela was stunned when she opened the door, the corners of her mouth twitched at the same time, Britney and Christina stood outside smiling and waved drunkenly: "Hi, Angie, good evening. "
"I'm sorry, I'm going to rest." Angela said that she was about to close the door, but Britney took the lead and hugged her, and at the same time slapped her cheek heavily: "Don't be like this, Angie, we just want to chat with you."
Christina came in behind and closed the door.
"Just want to chat?" Angela couldn't help sneering, "It's like this every time, can't you make an excuse?"
"Didn't we chat before going to bed?" Britney said seriously after thinking about it.
"Yeah, and you have a good chat every time." Christina also came over and said with a double pun.
"Wait, what does it mean to chat happily every time?!" Angela said angrily, and immediately turned around and walked away angrily. The two drunken guys didn't follow, they just fell on the sofa and giggled.
Angela's face couldn't help but turn slightly red. She suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision not to let her lover attend the concert in London, but it was even more wrong to invite Britney and Christina as guest singers.
They should have been guests at previous concerts! Angela glanced at the two people who were leaning on the sofa and nagging together, thinking angrily in her heart. But after thinking about it, I can only sigh in my stomach. This is not because this idea is an afterthought. Even if I knew that this situation would happen, there is still no solution.
If guests were invited at previous concerts, will other concerts also invite guests? Although I believe that many people will be willing to be guests at her concerts, Angela doesn't want to invite so many, because... How many guests have those superstars invited in their concerts? So in the end only the London, Toronto and New York concerts had guests. As for swapping with Britney and the others, it's impossible. It doesn't matter who the guests in Toronto are, but the one in New York was a rare invitation. As a superstar who can bring her concert to a successful end, Naturally, it cannot be exchanged to London.
Forget it, I haven't done it before anyway. Angela had no choice but to comfort herself with a wry smile. Even though Britney and Kessina are still arguing, even though the two always have some scandals with others—both of the same sex and the opposite sex—and frequent nightclubs, Angela knows the two feelings have been very stable.
But the question is, when these two guys met Angela, they were a little dishonest. Is it because they got together because of Angela, or because of their various entanglements with Angela? I don't know, they ran over to Angela's room on the second night of the rehearsal for the London concert, claiming that they wanted to talk a little bit because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they started to move around while talking, and they were harassed. Angela drank the whisky she was carrying with her without a second thought. Anyway, she no longer had that unconscious "transformation" state when she was drinking whiskey.
It's a pity that Angela ignored the feelings and thoughts of the other party. Not only did she not drive these two guys out, but instead caused a new fight, so she made a fuss and went to bed.
If Kate and the others found out, would they kill me? Another thought popped out of Angela's head. She shook her head with a wry smile and threw them out temporarily, just as she was about to turn around, a body hugged her from behind.
"Oh, Angie, what are you thinking?" Britney's soft voice rang out, and by the way, she raised her chest and rubbed her back, Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes: "It's nothing, I just think you guys are drinking too much. It's a bit too much, it's time to go back to rest."
"Go back to rest? Why can't I rest here with you?" Britney said with a smile.
Angela felt like she was pinched her neck and couldn't say anything. She finally managed to hold back, and Christina's voice came again: "Don't say stupid things, Brit, of course we can rest here!"
You—the two—don't take things too far! Angela gritted her teeth in her heart, but at the same time she was secretly relieved. Fortunately, it's just the two of them, let's persuade them to go back first.
However, just at this moment, the doorbell of the room rang again, and Angela suddenly felt a sudden shock. Before she could make a sound, Christina on the sofa jumped up and opened the door.
"Ha, Christine, are you there too?" A surprised and cheerful voice sounded outside the door, while Angela in the room closed her eyes with a sad face, needless to say she knew who was coming.
"Wow, you look really close." Xia Xia's half-joking voice sounded.
"Hey, Brit, isn't it time to change us!" followed by Lulu teasing that the world would not be in chaos.
"I've been thinking about it, she's mine now, she's mine!" Britney said jokingly, and pulled Angela back with her hands. Angela, who was not standing still, was pulled back a few steps. The last somersault fell on the sofa.
"Can't you be more serious!" Angela shouted angrily, waving her fists, but she was pushed down by the two figures who rushed towards her just after half her body was propped up.
"Haha, Anji is ours now." Xia Xia and Lu Lu giggled, and sat up after touching Angela's lips one after another, and they seemed to have drank a lot with their blushing cheeks.
"You two actually drink too?!" Angela, who could clearly see the appearance of the two, frowned.
"Oh, what's the matter with a drink? We're not children," said one nonchalantly.
"That's right, they can all drink, why can't we?" Another waved his hands carelessly.
They are them, you are you! Angela wanted to answer this very much, but Britney had already said before that: "That's right, Angie is so boring, always saying that it's not good here."
"That's because you're an idiot, Brit, and of course idiots need advice," Christina said calmly.
"Damn it, Christine, do you feel sick for a day if you don't say that word?"
"I'm just stating a fact."
"You're just making up a lie!"
"Oh, Xia Xia, look, they are arguing again."
"I know I know, who will you bet on this time?"
Looking at the four ecstatic women chatting in front of her, Angela could only hold her head and sigh. However, they all ignored Angela when they were talking about sex. After Britney and Christina fought with each other, they chatted with Xia Xia and Lulu again. We talked about it, so we talked about everything.
"I was thinking about when to go to a sperm bank. I really want a baby." When Britney said this, she stroked her belly and looked at the ceiling with hope.
"Wow, you actually want a baby?" Xia Xia's mouth widened in disbelief.
"Why not?" Britney shrugged. "Isn't it because there will be some public opinion that will make a fuss about unmarried pregnancies? The big deal is that we will publicly announce that we will come out of the closet."
"Christian agrees too?" Lulu asked.
Christina on the side snorted and didn't speak, while Britney smugly clenched her fist and waved: "Will she agree! Otherwise I won't be able to get her out of bed!"
Although Christina's face changed slightly, she just hummed, even though Xia Xia and Lulu both made an exaggerated "wow", even if Xia Xia deliberately said "I thought Christine would be on top" , she still looked away as if she didn't know anything.
"Lu Lu, why don't you have a baby too?" Xia Xia said suddenly looking at Lu Lu.
"Why do you want me to have a baby? Why didn't you have a baby?" Lulu asked immediately.
"You really want to know?" Xia Xia said calmly, clenching her fists.
"Want to try it?" Lulu rolled up her sleeves unceremoniously.
The two got closer and closer, staring at each other, feeling like they were on the verge of breaking out. A few seconds later, they turned to Angela very tacitly, and asked in unison, "Angie, do you want to try to conceive a baby?"
With a puff, Angela, who was drinking water without anything, spit it out.
