"Sometimes you have to sigh that fate is very strange, if I didn't run out that day or wait until I got something ready, or she didn't go to that street and didn't talk to me, etc., today I'm sure I won't sit here and talk to you." Angela elegantly stirred the black tea in the cup with a spoon and said to the lady in front of her with a smile.
"It's true, but there are no ifs in life," said the old lady with a smile, "just like you, Angie, suddenly you're 28 years old, and it's hard to see your cute and lovable appearance. It's possible."
Is there really no if? A trance flashed in Angela's eyes, but she immediately adjusted and smiled at the lady: "Then the next standard answer is, should we cherish now?"
"Yes, that's right, this is indeed the standard answer, as expected of an excellent screenwriter." The lady laughed.
"Mom, can't you talk to Angie about things that have nothing to do with the past?" Kate, who was carrying snacks, came over at this moment and saw her mother's brows slightly wrinkled. Obviously, her relationship with her mother was not very good.
Angie stretched her hand to take Kate's dessert, put it on the small table and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, and gave her a big smile when Kate turned her gaze: "Okay, Kate, let's talk Well done."
Since the death of her father, the relationship between Kate and her mother has been relatively tense, but it has not been a mess, probably because her mother, who is an actress, used to be her role model, so she still has a place in her heart. Angela also persuaded her after knowing the situation, but she didn't know the reason for her conflict with her mother. Of course, Angela never asked. If Kate wanted to tell her, she would naturally not hide it from her.
"I just sighed a little bit," Judy Luo spread her hands and looked at her daughter with complicated eyes. "When you get old, you will inevitably miss the past, even if there are some things that you can't let go of, but..."
She made a gesture and didn't say any more. Kate also closed her mouth and put her eyes on the cup in her hand. Angela, who had a panoramic view of everything, coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Try Kate's craftsmanship, she The dim sum is very good.”
"Really? Although I often cook with her, I haven't tasted her pie yet," Judy said, picking up a piece and taking a small bite, "Uh... it's really good, It's amazing how it was done."
"This is what Kate learned from Joe, you know, we've always had a good relationship, and Magic Mom is very good at making pie, so Kate has been learning from her for a while, and I don't know." Angela laughed. Yingying said.
Next, she and Judy had an in-depth conversation about Kate's desserts, which was about nutrition but not at all. Kate was drinking black tea silently and never interrupted. After about ten minutes like this, seeing that the two were still chatting non-stop, and the topic had shifted from the practice of dim sum to the screenwriting and production of the movie, she finally coughed helplessly: "Mom, if you If we haven't forgotten, we have other things to do today."
Judy stopped talking, took a deep look at her daughter and sighed: "Of course I know, honey, it's just..."
"I told Angie that I don't have to come here..." Kate said casually, and Angela quickly interrupted her: "Okay, Kate, stop talking like this."
Then she smiled apologetically at Judy: "Sorry, Judy, that's not what Kate meant, she just felt..."
"I understand how she feels," Judy shook her head. "After all, my reaction was indeed a little too intense."
"Oh?" Angela raised her eyebrows but didn't ask, and Judy didn't continue talking, and the conversation suddenly turned to the first topic: "Frankly speaking, Angie, through the previous conversation, I… can Understand the feelings between you, but I don't know why I always feel that there is something else between you? Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, but... This is probably my mother's intuition."
"Your intuition is right, Judy, we do have some small issues," Angela said before taking Kate's hand, "but I'm sorry, I can't tell you now, because this issue involves too many … people and things. I just want to say, please don’t be too surprised when you figure out what’s going on, I promise…”
Having said that, she suddenly sighed, shook her head with a wry smile, and said nothing.
"This is not a sign of sincerity, Angie, I'm starting to worry about whether it's right to hand my daughter over to you?" Judy said with a smile, but it was obvious that she was joking.
"Remember what I told you, Angie?" Kate said angrily, looking out the window.
"Okay, Kate, this is not an attitude towards mothers." Angela could only continue to act as a mediator, holding Kate's hand and saying in relief while giving Judy an apologetic look.
After a moment of silence, Judy looked at her daughter: "I won't object to any of your decisions this time, Kate. Although when you explained your intentions, I thought you were joking, after all, the two of you... But I know it all now. It's a foregone conclusion, no matter how incredible or surprising it is, nothing will change, so... I just hope that Kate can be happy! I never thought that the little girl she picked up at the beginning, not only has A great family can do such amazing things, and she ended up being a partner...I just want my daughter to be happy."
Looking at Judy with a sincere face, Angela suddenly felt guilty and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, Judy," she said naively, looking at the cup in her hand, "something...something..."
"Nothing to say," Kate suddenly grabbed her hand, she turned her head over and stared at Angela's beautiful eyes, "This is my choice, although there are still some... But since I have made a choice, I will not I'll regret it, I love you, Angie!"
"I love you too, Kate." Angela nodded vigorously, and her grip on Kate became much tighter.
"If you can..." Judy coughed dryly at this time, obviously she was not very used to this kind of scene.
"Okay that's it, we should leave too." Kate said and stood up and took Angela with him, "I think he should come back, although I don't have any bad feelings for him now, but still I don't want to talk too much."
Speaking of which, Kate suddenly stepped forward to wrap her mother's neck and kissed her cheek slightly: "Thank you, Mom."
Judy didn't speak, just got up with a smile and hugged her daughter and Angela.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Judy for several years. I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I thought she would make things difficult for her." After walking out of the apartment door, Angela lowered her hat and said to Kate. said.
"No." Kate said absent-mindedly, as if caught in some memory.
"What's wrong?" Angela patted her arm strangely, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Kate, who had recovered, shook her head, then looked at Angela and squinted her eyes: "Frankly, I really shouldn't have brought you here, what do you mean by 'I'll give you my daughter' ?"
"What's wrong with this?" Angela spread her hands innocently, with a little smugness hidden in her eyes, "Anyway, you moved to my house, didn't you?"
Kate didn't speak, just stared at Angela intently. Angela felt a little bit of timidity in her heart for no reason. She coughed dryly and waved her hand to change the subject. Unfortunately, before she could say anything, Kate roughly raised her chin to block her mouth.
Wuwuwu screamed a few times, and after knocking her fist on the other side with no strength, Kate let go of her. Angela blushed and gasped a few times before giving Kate an angry look. I followed and looked around. There were not many pedestrians on the street. Although some people noticed them, they did not pay too much attention.
"This is on the street!" Angela whispered through gritted teeth.
Kate raised her eyebrows and didn't answer, just took her arm and walked towards the car parked on the street. After getting into the driver's seat and the passenger seat, Kate started the car and drove down the street. There was silence in the car, and after several blocks, she suddenly stopped the car on the street: "So you're angry?"
"I just..." Angela, who was holding her cheek with one hand, curled her lips, "Okay, I'm really angry, although I'm glad that Judy didn't make things difficult, but shouldn't it be celebrated in this way? That's on the street! "
"...I'm sorry." Kate said apologetically after a while, her eyelids drooping, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
"You must think I'm overthinking things, don't you?" How could Angela not know what she was thinking after being together for so long, sighed and took Kate's arm, "Actually, I'm mainly because of a certain something...because of something..."
"Is it the right thing to propose to Nat?" Kate said bluntly, the gloom in her eyes had disappeared. "Are you going to sell all the advertising screens in Times Square? Or are you going to cover the Walk of Fame with flowers?"
Angela laughed shyly, then shook her head: "Neither, I won't reveal it until then."
Looking at Kate tenderly, she reached out and stroked her face: "After that, you can do whatever you want to me on the street!"
Kate folded her arms and raised her eyebrows: "I can really do anything to you?"
Angela, who heard the meaning of her words, glared at her immediately, waving her arms as if she wanted to go forward and "theorize" with her. But Kate is faster than her. He reached out his hand like lightning and pinched Angela's cheek, smiled coldly, and pressed her to the seat for another lingering feeling. Fortunately, the parking place is relatively quiet, and no one notices the movement in the car.
"Really, you like it like this." Angela said raggedly after sorting out her clothes, "If I hadn't stopped you before, were you going to come in the car again?!"
"This idea sounds good." Kate, who was also doing makeup in the mirror, said teasingly.
Angela glared at her, and immediately stopped, took out the phone and dialed.
"Oh, who are you going to ask for a team?" Kate continued to ask nonchalantly.
"I'll call the bodyguards, some people will be more restrained if they're there." Angela snorted softly.
"Do you really think your bodyguard can stop me?" Kate narrowed her eyes with an indescribable smile.
Angela rolled her eyes, closed the phone, crossed her arms and looked at her angrily: "So, what do you want?"
"Oh, Angie is pissed," Kate grinned and squeezed her smooth cheek, "well, I'm just kidding, you're mine tonight, and when you go to Kayla's house You were mine before!"
"Ownership always changes like this, it's better to be in Los Angeles." Angela couldn't help muttering.
"Is there a problem?" Kate asked, raising her right hand and pinching.
Angela couldn't help shivering, and quickly raised her hands: "Okay, it's yours, I didn't deny it."
Kate didn't speak any more, she stretched out her hand to brush her long hair, and then shrugged with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you to the set, today is at Oxford University, right? Speaking of which, I almost went to Oxford... If I had gone to Oxford..."
She suddenly stopped talking, and seemed to fall into memory again. Angela suddenly realized something, hesitated and asked carefully, "Did you and Judy have a conflict back then..."
"Yes," Kate replied quickly, looking at Angela, "it was indeed because I had a relationship with Rachel when I was in Cambridge, and when I was taking her home... my mother found out."
"You actually brought Rachel home?" Angela's eyes widened, obviously very interested in this gossip.
Kate blinked. "You look... excited."
"Well... this..." Angela sneered and shrank her neck. She and the two of them were always entangled. Although everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion now, there are still some things that she has to deal with.
Kate did not continue the discussion on this small topic, and said to herself: "We had a big fight, in fact, I didn't fully want to be a lace edge at that time, but... When I was young, I always had some rebellious thoughts. , plus I've always been dissatisfied with her marriage to that man, so... "
She made a gesture and sighed, with some nostalgia and some emotion.
"Wow, then shouldn't I thank Judy?" Angela exclaimed somewhat exaggeratedly.
Kate glanced at her: "Do you know when I completely turned into a lace?"
"when?"
"Edinburgh, the night you seduced me."
Angela suddenly stopped talking. She stared at Kate in a daze. Kate also stared at her face, and suddenly there was no sound in the car. After a long time, the two of them smiled at the same time, and some things don't need to be said in words.
"I still have to thank Judy," Angela said seriously, looking at Kate. "No matter what you object, no matter what you do tonight, she did give me her daughter, and you are indeed mine!"
Kate didn't refute, and gently brushed the hair on her forehead: "Okay, okay, I'm yours, now you're satisfied? If you're satisfied, I'll send you to the set. If you're late, I'm afraid you will be caught again. Joe complains."
"Okay, then go to the set... Wait!" Angela suddenly thought of something and shouted, "No, no, let the bodyguards come and pick me up to the set. If you go, Joe might make fun of me again. ."
Angela looked depressed. Rowling knew more than the others, so she was struck by this pattern between them for a long time. Although as an outsider, she is not easy to point fingers, and after so many years, she has known how deep the relationship between Angela and Kate is, so she said a lot but did not laugh at Angela on this issue. Fortunately, Angela only told her that in addition to Kate, Someone didn't say how much, otherwise, I don't know what the magic mother will be like.
"Are you sure it's because Joe didn't want me to pass, not because your Xia Xia let me pass?" Kate, who was rubbing her chin, raised her eyebrows, then looked at Angela with a half-smile and asked.
"What does this have to do with Xia Xia? Didn't I already tell you about me and her?" Angela said righteously, but her eyes kept rolling.
"I was just wondering if you would stop by her house and meet her parents," Kate said seriously.
Angela grinned and finally sighed: "Well, I admit that she is a troublemaker, she is already 18 years old and laughing and laughing all day without seriousness..."
"It's because she's not serious in front of you," Kate corrected. "She's very reserved in front of others."
"Okay okay, that's because I doted on her too much before, that's why I have grown to look like I'm not big or small in front of me. But I told you, she likes Lulu more in comparison, so Haunting me is just a way of making fun, and she will naturally stop when she finds a suitable opportunity to tell her about these things." Angela tried her best to explain, for some reason she always had a darker and darker description. Feel.
"So... not bad..." Kate didn't know what to think, smacking her lips, "Take Lulu as her partner, and then occasionally come out to hang out with her lover, or even drag her partner to hang out with her lover... It's not bad. ."
"Kate!" Angela's face suddenly darkened, and at the same time there was a little guilty conscience.
"What? Speaking of the pain?" Kate still looked like she was smiling.
"Kate..." Angela immediately changed her face to a sad look.
"Okay okay, let's not talk about this, let your bodyguard come and pick you up." Kate laughed, and then squeezed her cheek again, "Don't think that we are one of the seven Once the matter is settled, you can do whatever you want!"
"Absolutely not!" Angela Chicken nodded his head while pecking at the rice, while secretly praying that Xia Xia would not do anything to her again, and that he would not be troubled when he went to Kayla's house in a few days.
