Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 535 The Final Question

"Then, can you tell me how you developed?" Mother asked suddenly after wiping the sweat off her forehead with a towel, "Of course, if you feel embarrassed, you don't need to answer."

"No, no, there's nothing to be embarrassed about..." Angela grabbed the two sticks on the wooden dummy and rolled her eyes. It's no wonder it's not embarrassing!But when he turned his head, a sneer appeared on his face: "It's just that I don't know where to start for a while."

Elena shrugged her shoulders and did not speak. She sat down on the chair next to the treadmill, took another sip from the cup, and then looked at her daughter in a leisurely manner. It was obvious that she wanted to listen to her story.

"Let me think about it first, okay?" Angela secretly groaned in her heart, and she had to complain about this headache task.

After the conversation between father and daughter was over, Dad reminded her that she should talk to Mom one more time. It is not responsible to confess to Mom and then avoid going out for a few days.Angela also agreed, after all, she really did a poor job.

However, even though she already knew her father's attitude, it took two days before she chose to chat with her mother in the gym.Angela is still a little scared. Of course, it can also be said that she cares about her mother's feelings.

"It was Kate first - you know, I met her when I was four years old, and I really thought of her as my sister all the time. Although I used to take care of her a lot, as I got older, she slowly took care of me. Yes. I like or say this kind of obsession, the feeling of being pampered and spoiled-this is completely different from the feeling of being pampered by parents and family members-so when I heard that she was very jealous after dating someone else, I just As if I felt that something important to me was taken away, so I tried every means to get it back. Although I matured very early, I was still very slow in some aspects. I just used... the most... the cheapest method..." At the end Angela was already a little hesitant.

"Simply put, you lured Kate to have sex with you." The mother asked directly, but her eyes were closed.

"Yes," Angela grinned in embarrassment, "It was like...a floodgate was opened, and it made me understand why I never liked dating men, and why I felt impulsive towards women. Nothing Stimulated by something special, this is a feeling from the heart, as if God wants me to like women..."

After waving her hand to stop the long talk, Angela continued: "And Jessica, you know, we have been together since elementary school and have a deep emotional foundation. I don't know if I influenced her... …Anyway, on my 16th birthday, I kept her at home for the night. We lay in bed talking for a long time, and then… it seemed like a natural… relationship. I should have told her the truth , but the next day when we woke up hugging each other, I really couldn't say it... and Jessica didn't feel disgusted, so the relationship was settled like this."

Speaking of this, she took a deep breath: "As for Natalie, we met in early 92, when Mr. Hessler was still Grandpa's personal doctor. She is very smart and also precocious, and I like her very much.

At that time, I didn't know my sexual orientation clearly, so even if I had a little bit of super affection, I still kept being friends with her.Later, after I started dating Kate and Jessica, although I still like to cuddle with her, I still try to restrain myself as much as possible.It wasn't until that time when she accompanied me on a trip that I had a major setback - sorry Mom, I don't want to say what it was, everyone has their little secrets.isn't it?Anyway, at that time I felt like I had lost hope in the world, and Natalie was there, holding me and comforting me like an angel guarding me, so we just... Natalie is not gay, but she accepts it I. "

Angela didn't continue talking, and the gym suddenly fell silent. After a while, the daughter looked up at her mother with a wry smile: "Mom, am I...some...some..."

She kept making gestures, but the word never came out of her mouth.Elena, who had been listening quietly, opened her eyes, sighed lightly, and rubbed Angela's head: "Chris, you are my daughter and my angel no matter what. Although... But I love you, so give me a little more time, please?"

"I know, Mom." Angela held her mother's hand that was soothing her face, smiled and nodded.After hesitating for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and asked, "May I know the answer?"

The mother stared at her daughter, and said softly after a while: "You know, the truth always hurts, Chris."

A trace of dejection flashed in Angela's eyes, and she smiled wryly again: "I understand, Mom, what I did was indeed... a jerk. Well, using the word jerk is already a good description."

Elena didn't speak any more, just stretched out her arms to hug her daughter, and then stood up: "I'm going back to take a shower—your father and I will take this matter to the bottom of our hearts according to your request. Publicity is up to you. But Chrissy, nothing can be hidden forever, you have to be prepared, understand?"

"I understand, Mom, thank you." Angela hugged her mother again, and watched her leave the gym before coming to the wooden mannequin again, took a deep breath and started fighting.At the beginning, he played every move in a precise manner, and the movements became faster and faster as he moved forward. It was not until there was a muffled sound that Angela held his right hand that the room returned to calm.

Taking a breath on the back of some red hands, Angela sighed softly and leaned her head on the wooden dummy.Although I told my mother the general process of the relationship, there are many things that are concealed.Like Kate was lesbian before her and Jessica confessed to her first.It's not that Angela didn't want to say it, but that she didn't know how her mother would feel when she said it.

Although her father did not tell her about her mother's attitude, it is not difficult to feel her mother's conflicted mood from her father's first request to talk to her and his observations of her mother in the past few days.So Angela would rather blame herself for all the reasons than her mother would feel bad for them.

However, it is worth thinking about why she even ignored the matter of seducing Natalie by taking the opportunity of painting?Of course, it can be said that she doesn't want to make her image worse in front of her parents, but it can also be said... Natalie's position in her heart is a little different from that of Kate and Jessica?

"Sister?" A familiar voice suddenly entered her ears, and Angela hurriedly turned her head: "Ike?"

After poking around at the door, the little guy quickly ran in.After looking Angela up and down, his eyes fell on the back of her hand: "Are you injured again?"

"No, just touched it." Angela raised her right hand to her chest to prevent him from going forward to snatch it, and then glared at Ike angrily: "Do you really want me to get hurt?"

"Of course not, I just care about you." Ike hurriedly argued, seeing his sister's disbelief, he immediately pursed his mouth and walked to his little wooden dummy with dissatisfaction and started to fight.

"Okay, I know you are more proficient at playing than me, so you don't need to show it in front of me to remind me?" Angela shook her head amusedly, although the little guy couldn't help but sneak a glance at her after hearing this. The speed of the human pile has also slowed down, but the unhappy look still hangs on his face and never disappears.

Angela, who raised her eyebrows, couldn't help but continued jokingly said: "It seems that my dear brother thinks that I don't love him anymore, because I only like girls now. Hey, this is really sad, it seems that I really should To like girls."

"Sister!" Ike finally stopped his movements, turned his head and stared at Angela dissatisfied and aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore." Angela said with a smile, she hugged her brother into her arms and rubbed his head with her hands, "Then, my lovely Ike, come here to find What can I do?"

"It's nothing, I just want to come and see you," Ike said with difficulty while covering his head to resist the ravages of his sister, "You and mom and dad are acting strange these days, Aunt Jennifer said that because those reporters reported in the newspaper Writing stuff that says you only like girls makes you guys really upset. I know I was stupid and thought you really only liked girls but that was Lulu talking nonsense and I apologize if you're upset ..."

"Okay, dear, it's nothing, I wasn't angry at the time, was I?" Angela smiled and pinched her younger brother's face, "If you want to be angry, you are also angry with those unscrupulous media, so don't be so incoherent. I'm afraid you don't even know what to say anymore."

"No!" Ike showed dissatisfaction again, and after thinking for a long time, he waved his clenched fist, "I mean, if these guys still talk like this in a few years, I will go out Beat them hard! Beat them until they shut up! Grandma said, as long as I keep working out, I can take care of these guys."

"Ah, yes, grandma has long expected such a day, so she told you this, right?" Angela rolled her eyes in a funny way, feeling a little moved in her heart.He rubbed Ike's head again: "Okay, so how about teaching me to practice Kung Fu now? Grandma seems to have said that you will be better than me."

"No problem!" Ike immediately stood in front of the small wooden dummy and gestured enthusiastically.

Angela held back her laughter, and stood beside him listening to his immature narration with a serious face.Neither of them noticed that Willie had just left the door with her arms folded and her mouth pouting. She had been standing there for a long time.

Basically, calm returned to the family after two conversations.Although occasionally a wry smile appeared on the corner of the mother's mouth, the overall atmosphere was good.However, Angela stepped up her search for a villa in private. Even though her parents had already acquiesced in the fact that she was gay, it would still be somewhat embarrassing to bring her lover home.Besides, she will soon be 21 years old, and many of her peers have long since stopped living with their parents.

As for public opinion, most of them were attracted by the blockbuster she threw out.Some people think this is incredible, although Miss Genius can always do surprising things, but directing gay subjects is not a flattering thing... Did she come up with a whim because she knew about John Nash's life?

Another group of people expressed neutrality, after all, what Miss Genius has done is obvious to all.Although the homosexual theme, especially the gay theme, and it is still a homosexual theme that only talks about emotions, it is indeed a bit too biased.But God knows what kind of movie Angela can make with this.So it's better to remain neutral until things come to fruition.

The happiest thing is the gay organization. Although Angela denied that she was gay, they were very disappointed, but it is still worthwhile for such an outstanding and dazzling quasi-master director of the national idol to make a movie that completely tells about gay feelings. Something to celebrate.Moreover, the momentum of the conservatives has weakened a lot after Angela denied that she is gay. After all, it is not up to them to dictate what movies other people make.Although there are still some diehard voices—for example, a pastor in Utah published an open letter on the Internet, hoping that Angela, as the most famous idol in the United States, should pay attention to her words, deeds and influence—but they can be ignored .

The publisher was the next happiest person. After the press conference, the sales of "Brokeback Mountain" suddenly doubled, making these guys laugh from ear to ear.Faced with the effect of almost catching up with the "Oprah Book Club", they wished to ask Angela to recommend a few more books in front of the reporters.

However, as the author of "Brokeback Mountain", Ms. Anne Prow is very depressed.During this period of time, reporters were often blocked at the door and asked some inexplicable questions, and the wording could be misinterpreted if a little careless.For example, after facing reporters several times, Ms. Prue jokingly said, "Obviously, Angela should say hello to me in advance, otherwise I won't be so passive." As a result, the headline of the newspaper the next day read "Anne Prow was dissatisfied with the style of Miss Genius, and bluntly said that she should greet her first."

Fortunately, Angela and Ms. Prue didn't have much intersection, and Sparrow was completely involved when buying the adaptation production rights, so this kind of news has no effect.

Even so, there are still a small number of people who cling to homosexuality, mostly tabloid reporters and gossip guys.Some people say that this is the smoke released by Angela, but in fact she is gay; some people say that Angela and Jessica have been a couple for a long time; some people even say that they have seen Miss Genius kissing women before .These statements filled the tabloids and certain websites, each more outrageous and more appalling than the last.

"Don't worry, Jesse, the more people do this, the less people will take it seriously. Look, didn't someone say that I was in a hurry and wanted to cover up by directing "Brokeback Mountain"? But Ms. Prue has long admitted that a few years ago Just sell me the right to adapt and produce." Angela comforted Jessica on the phone, "So don't bother with them - if you are free these few days, we can make an appointment to go out for a stroll. Of course, call Lindsay and Vivi would be nice too."

"Now?" Jessica's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's only been a few days?!"

"Because it's only been a few days, so we have to go out together. The more we don't go out, the easier it is for them to say that we have a guilty conscience." Angela explained, "Of course, if it's just the two of us, it may be said that it's true. So, that’s why I called Lindsay and Weiwei—these two guys are about to smash the phone, and Weiwei is better, Lindsay has to yell on the phone every day, if I don’t give a stern warning , she may have rushed home."

After a pause, she sighed and said softly again: "Jessie, once this kind of gossip is ignited, the paparazzi will not let it go. We may be able to reduce the fire, but it is impossible to extinguish it, unless..."

"It's okay, Angie, you will walk down with me, right?" Jessica said softly on the phone.

"Of course." A smile appeared on the corner of Angela's mouth, "You are my woman."

"Oh?" Jessica Cara's long voice came from the other end of the phone, "Okay, I admit that I am your woman normally, if it's on the bed... hehe..."

Angela couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, coughed dryly, and then changed the subject: "I don't know how Mr. Alba will thank you when he finds out that these are true——I called him to apologize, and accidentally sent his When the baby girl got involved in the scandal, his voice sounded very bright, and it never seemed to change."

"I don't know," Jessica sighed over there, "I asked them in a joking tone, would they support me if this was true, but all I got was a look of astonishment."

The hand holding the microphone tightened slightly, and Angela said in a relieved tone: "Don't worry, Jesse, we still have time, this society is slowly changing, isn't it?"

"I believe." Jessica replied briefly and emphatically.

"Then, that's it, I'll let you know when I plan it." Angela said goodbye and turned off the phone.

Originally, she wanted to tell Jessica that her parents already knew about the relationship between the two of them, but she couldn't say a few words about it, so let's talk about it when they met. She didn't want Jessica to worry.

Even if it cannot be extinguished, let the fire be reduced to a minimum, and it is best to become a red charcoal.Angela, who was leaning on the chair, began to think, but she was still a little absent-minded. Compared with this, there was something heavier on her heart.

"Angie, your coffee." Annie walked in with a cup.

"Thank you, Annie, you have worked hard these few days." Angela smiled slightly.

"It's nothing, it's all I should do." Annie put the cup on the desk, looked at her slightly tired face and couldn't help asking softly, "Did they still not call you?"

Angela looked at Annie fixedly, and finally nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, no."

"Maybe I shouldn't talk too much, but... Maybe you should take the initiative to call them." Annie said.

"I think so too, but... Angela waved her hand irritably, "There must be a suitable excuse. "

Annie didn't say anything more and walked out with the tray in her hand. She turned her head and said softly after she left the door, "There will always be excuses."
