Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 191



Chapter 191

"Oh, jinglebeells, jinglebells, jinglealltheway..." The light and cheerful singing sounded in the living room, Angela dressed up and sat in front of the grand piano and sang "Merry Christmas" while playing--the so-called dressing up means, Usually she wears all the clothes she resists, well, this is how she understands, there is no way, who makes playing the piano and singing on Christmas Eve her repertoire.

After the song ended, applause broke out in the living room. All the people celebrating Christmas in the manor, the elders, the housekeeper, and the servants all expressed their admiration for her beautiful singing, and even Lulu clapped her hands happily.

But the girl did not stand up and bow to thank the audience, but stretched out her hand and tapped her head lightly, then smiled, raised her hands and continued to play.As soon as the music came out, all the audience were stunned immediately. The repertoire was very familiar, "Silent Night", one of the classic Christmas songs, but the girl's playing method was not as usual. The sense of rhythm and pause was obvious and strong. She actually used jazz playing methods to interpret this song!

"Silent night, holy night! allis calm, allis bright..."

However, not only the playing method has changed, Angela also sang with an alternative singing voice, with a strong bite at the beginning of each sentence, then floated up in the middle, and fell heavily at the end, full of rhythm and at the same time She also has a small coloratura, which fits very well with the tune. This kind of improvisation can't help but surprise her musical talent.

The applause rang out again, including the grandfather who was not interested in jazz, and the girl performed with a special flavor.Angela got up and held up her skirt and bowed her knees to everyone, announcing the end of her little special performance.

"When are you going to ask me to call you aunt instead?" Angela whispered in Julia's ear after hugging the elders one by one to say goodnight.

The other party's face was flushed, and he glanced at Frank before softly saying, "It's not up to me to decide, my dear."

"Please, you have already brought Lulu to our Christmas dinner. You see, since grandpa didn't say anything after the summer vacation, it's a tacit consent. Why are you hesitating!" Angela said, rolling her eyes.

"Okay, Angie! Don't always be a kid!" Julia couldn't help but tapped her head lightly.

"Okay, okay, I don't care, I'll go to bed." The girl shrugged, then came to the grandfather and hugged the old man: "Good night, grandpa, I'm going to rest."

"Good night, dear." The old man smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Good night, Dudu!" Angela lightly tapped the cat curled up on her grandpa's lap, and after provoking the cat's meowing for a while, she dragged Lulu, who was already yawning, upstairs.On the second floor, the girl was about to send the little guy to her room, but Lulu tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Sister Chris, can I sleep with you?"

"Why?" Angela was a little surprised.

The other party pouted: "I just want to, can't I?"

Seeing her appearance mixed with stubbornness and hope, the girl wanted to agree, but she was afraid that she would wake up in the middle of the night like her brother and sister—had already tossed the maid of the grandpa’s house for several days—she couldn’t help but hesitate .Lulu immediately changed into a pitiful look, which made Angela, who had no resistance to children, even harder to refuse her, so she nodded: "Okay, but you must be obedient."

"Understood, I will be obedient." The little guy promised solemnly.

One big and one small came outside Angela's room quickly, pushed the door open and entered.Angela couldn't help but froze, someone was already inside.It was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with long, beautiful, smooth dark brown hair, dressed in a maid outfit, and was making the bed.

Angela was a little strange. This girl seemed to be here today. She had seen her several times during the dinner, and she was always around her. But who would let such a young girl come out to be a maid?

"Are you going to rest, Miss?" The girl straightened up and asked with a smile on her face. She could see that she was very handy, and she didn't seem like she just did this.

"Yes. Oh, by the way, get another set of bedding. Lulu will sleep with me." Angela pointed to the little guy beside her. Looking carefully at this girl, she has big eyes and big lips, but she is also very beautiful, giving people a feeling of deja vu.

"Okay, Miss." After the girl replied, she immediately went out. The other party moved very quickly. Angela coaxed Lulu to come out after washing. She had already spread the bedding.

"Okay, thank you... By the way, what's your name?" The girl asked with some embarrassment. She could name every servant in Grandpa's house, even if there was a newcomer, she would be the first. Time to ask, so she will feel sorry.

"You can call me Anne, miss." The other party said with a smile, and I have to say that her smile is very charming.

"Well, Anne, I hope you can call me Angie or Angela." The girl shrugged, "By the way, you are British? But you have an American accent? If possible, can you tell me why? A girl like you came here to work as a maid?"

"Actually, I am not the maid of the Duke's estate." Anne smiled calmly, "I am an American, and Mr. Brian Benjamin is my guardian."

"Really, that means..." Angela, who was a little excited, was suddenly stunned. She blinked and looked at Annie with surprise. The girl is not an idiot. Dressed as a maid, she was still busy beside her, thinking about what was going on with her knees, but how did the godfather get involved?

"Good night, miss. I live in the room opposite to you. If you need anything, you can call me." Annie slightly raised her forehead and left the room. Only then did Angela realize that she didn't know whether to smile wryly or what, it was her own. Christmas present?

After shaking her head, she changed Lulu into her pajamas and put her on the bed.Although the little guy yawned again, he still asked cautiously: "Sister Chris, can I watch TV for a while before going to sleep?"

"No, dear, it's getting late."

"Just a moment, please."

Seeing the other party launch the "poor" move again, it will kill.Angela was really helpless, so she had no choice but to agree: "Okay, just for a while, you won't pamper you!"

There is nothing to watch on TV, such as music, soap operas or factual interviews, but Lulu, who is sitting on the bed, still enjoys changing the channel, maybe what she wants to do is play with the remote control instead of watching TV!Angela originally wanted to take this opportunity to hide aside to conceive an original script that hadn't made any progress, but now she can only give up being with the little guy.

Finally, Lulu fixed a channel.The BBC's signature TV series "Mr. Bean" was playing on the TV. Rowan Atkinson's funny appearance made the little guy giggle, but Angela was rather bored.She still likes movies and music more. Except for a few TV series she particularly likes, she only has a general understanding of them. Therefore, she has more impressions of Luo Wen's bean appearance from "Specialist Bean" and "Mr. Bean's Vacation", especially "Special Agent Bean", was funny all the way, and the plot that came back at the end really made "he" laugh at that time.

Wait, "Special Bean"!The girl's eyes lit up, as if she had caught something, but that thread of inspiration was always wandering outside her thoughts, and she couldn't catch it no matter what.

Think about it, don't let it get away!The longing for her completely original script made Angela close her eyes and carefully recall the thought just now, what was it?what is itcorrect!Finally come back!The girl finally caught that thread of thought, yes!Why not create a main character who keeps screwing things up and ends up being turned around by a series of accidents? !

Yes!Angela screamed happily, and was about to find paper and pens, but at this moment, she found that Lulu had fallen asleep at some point. After thinking about it, she gently took the remote control from her hand, turned off the Turned off the TV, then laid her flat and covered her with a quilt, the little guy turned over, slapped and bickered, but still fell asleep and did not wake up.

The girl tiptoed out of the bed, walked out of the bedroom, knocked on the door opposite, and soon the door was opened.

"Do you need anything, miss?" Annie was still dressed as a maid, and she didn't sleep.

"I want to write something in another place, can it be in your room?" Angela raised the notebook in her hand.

"Of course." The other side stepped aside.

"Thanks, but anyway, I like that you can call me Angie."

"Okay, little... Angie."

Anne's room is not big, because she lives here temporarily, so there is no girly decoration, but it is very tidy.Angela sat down at the desk and continued to add content to the outline. After writing down several characters, she thought about it several times, and finally decided to define the character of the protagonist as self-confident and arrogant. The middle school students who can handle everything by themselves are full of jokes in the process of stealing things. If they are not lucky, they may have failed completely, and it is only at the end that they accidentally come back and win a big victory.

However, this is too close to the routine of "Special Agent Bean", obviously not what I want, it seems that I should think of a way!Angela tapped her head lightly with the cap of her pen.

At this time, Annie thoughtfully brought a hot drink in front of her, Angela took a sip, and ordered to her: "Thank you, Annie."

"I should do it." The other party still smiled, and that familiar feeling came to my heart again.

"Where have we met?" The girl couldn't help asking.

"I don't think so." Annie shook her head.

Angela took a closer look at her, and the feeling of familiarity became clearer, or it was because...

"Hey, Anne, has anyone ever said that your eyes look like Mrs. Hepburn..." The girl was about to jokingly say a few words, but she froze for a while, staring at her with her mouth open, Annie was startled After a jump, he hurriedly waved his hand in front of her: "Are you all right, Angie?"

"No, I'm fine..." Angela looked at her strangely, "May I ask your name? Anne? Oh, I mean your full name."

Although Anne felt that her expression was not right, she still replied honestly: "Anne Hathaway, Mr. Benjamin didn't ask me to change my surname."

Listen to this answer that is already 8% possible.The girl couldn't help but want to groan, what the hell, they chose Anne Hathaway as a personal playmate for me!How can it be? !Am I crazy this Christmas or are they crazy? !

------

Little snowflakes are falling from the sky, dotted with big apples wrapped in silver. In New York, which has just finished Christmas, the festive atmosphere is still strong, after all, it will be New Year soon.

"Miss Carliss, this is what I want." Natalie put the basket on the workbench at the cashier and greeted her happily.

"Well, you're here to shop again today, big star?" Kellys smiled and took out all the items in the basket, stamped the prices on them and put them into paper bags.

"We always work in a division of labor. Mom is going to buy other things, so naturally I'll be in charge here." Natalie shrugged, noncommittal to the title the female cashier said.As she shoots a movie every year, although she is a supporting role except for "Killer Leon", her influence is also expanding. At least people around the community who like her call her that.

But in the girl's mind, she doesn't like this title.She left the supermarket with the paper bag in her arms and walked towards home.The title of big star should be applied to that guy, Natalie thought so, and glanced at the TV set in the cabinet on the street from time to time.

"...andyourheartsleftinkonbt, don'tfiveuponyourfaith..." This song is constantly playing in the street. I have to say it is very suitable for the festive atmosphere.

Beautiful music, wonderful singing voice, angelic face, and countless titles.This is Angela!Every classmate and friend around Natalie likes her. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is an American girl idol. In fact, if Natalie hadn't concealed her acquaintance with Angela from her classmates and friends, Maybe, every day, someone would entrust her to deliver letters, ask for autographs, and so on.Seriously, if Angela hadn't done something to her, she would definitely be a member of her huge fan group.

In Natalie's heart, she felt that she should hate her. Every time she thought of those two times of having sex against her will, countless emotions flooded her heart, such as disgust or dissatisfaction, but at the same time, there was desire and expectation. Let her not be able to bring up that thought no matter what.

Damn, I'm only 13!She is raped!All the way back home, because of the person she suddenly remembered on the road, she was a little angry, so that her parents thought she had been wronged in front of her.But when she started to help decorate the house, she couldn't help but look out of the window. It's New Year's Eve soon, she didn't come for Christmas, will she come during New Year's?

Maybe the Lord heard her voice, and soon a car appeared in her eyes, and then drove straight to the door of her house. After stopping, a girl wearing a striped velvet hat jumped out, with a pink scarf hanging down her waist , very cute and beautiful.

Natalie, who was watching all this in front of the window, couldn't help but want to groan. Just now, she was thinking about whether the other party would come, but immediately changed her mind, and she didn't want to contact Angela.She quickly left the window and was about to run upstairs, but had barely reached the first step when the doorbell rang, and—

"Happy New Year, Mrs Shirley."

"Oh, happy new year, Angie! Nice to see you, hey Nat, look who's coming!"

Natalie sighed in her stomach, then turned her head and smiled and said, "Hello, Angie!"

But the other party didn't answer, but directly rushed forward and hugged her tightly to show his affection. Angela's action attracted good-natured laughter from the couple, but Natalie who was hugged secretly gritted her teeth Because of the angle, the parents didn't see it. When the other party hugged her, one hand gently squeezed her little buttocks, and at the same time kissed her neck!

"Hi, Nat, long time no see." Angela greeted her with a smile after hugging her.

"Yeah, long time no see. I'm really glad to see you." As a well-educated girl with good self-control, Natalie just wanted to give her a glare, but when she saw her smiling She didn't even have the thought of glaring at her anymore.

what's wrong with me? !Natalie thought gloomily, fortunately, Angela didn't do anything else, but sat on the sofa and chatted with her parents. Natalie wanted to make things difficult for her, and from time to time Angela didn't refuse to pick some strange topics.Discuss what she knows with her as much as possible, and honestly say that she doesn't know what she doesn't know. This attitude won Avner's praise, and Natalie had to admit that Angela like this was very attractive.

"By the way, I brought some small gifts from London for you." Angela said, took out a few well-packed boxes from her backpack, and handed them to Shirley, Evner and Na respectively with a smile. In Tully's hands, these were indeed small gifts, handicrafts bought at the Bristone handicraft market.

"Thank you so much, they look very delicate." Evner said as he turned the fan blades of the small windmill in his hand.

"Actually, I don't know what is suitable for you, so I just picked a few randomly, as long as you like it." The girl said with a smile.

"I think I can put them in the bedroom." Natalie looked curiously at the matryoshka doll in her hand, but she regretted it as soon as she said that.

Sure enough, Angela's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Okay, I can help you."

"Well, I think I can do it myself." Natalie said hurriedly, then picked up the box containing the doll, and ran upstairs. She knew that as long as she stepped into the bedroom first, nothing would happen. There will be.

But just after she ran up the stairs, seeing the room in front of her eyes, a pair of hands suddenly hugged her from behind, hugging her tightly, Natalie exclaimed, trying to struggle, but the wet feeling from her ears It made her body go limp all of a sudden, and the box in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Stop it, Angie! This is in the aisle, you will be seen!" Natalie yelled in a low voice, struggling, and turned around, and was immediately pressed against the wall, followed by two warm roses touching her colored lips.

Natalie whimpered and shook her head slightly, trying to resist and resist, but this only made Angela suck her lips and tongue more wantonly, and soon she became confused, and then sank into it, panting During the repeated entanglement and teasing, until the strength of the two parties was exhausted and separated, the silver saliva line was still sticking to the lips of the two girls.

"Angie! You're an asshole!" Natalie cursed in a low voice, her head bowed.Not wanting to look at the other person's expression, she suddenly wanted to cry at this moment, why could she deal with everything calmly, and even her parents approved of her decision, but she couldn't resist Angela's invasion.

"I'm sorry, Nat..." The other party also said in a low voice, hugging her lightly, as if talking to himself: "I think I haven't seen you for a long time, so I can't help it. If it hurts you, I apologize , but I love you, really!"

As she said, she lowered her head and kissed her lips repeatedly, trying to make her feel better. Natalie still kissed herself with the other party, and her fluctuating emotions finally calmed down, as if she had escaped from something again. come out.

She shook her head: "Okay, we still put things away, let's go down quickly."

------

boom!The car door was closed, and after waving to Natalie's family through the car window, the car started to drive towards Grandpa's house. Angela leaned on the seat and looked at the roof of the car, and let out a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter? It seems that your spirit is not very good?" Pu Guanshui, who was driving, asked.

"Even if it's not good, I don't care about your business!" The girl snorted, then rolled her eyes and sat up straight: "Can't you tell me where my uncle lives?"

"I've already told you that the master and I have both ordered that we can't tell you, and we can't take you there." The other party shrugged, "If you insist, you can definitely talk to me."

If grandma agrees, I won't come to ask you either!Angela muttered in dissatisfaction, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, what are you going to France for Christmas? Date your girlfriend?"

"No, my brother and his wife live in France. I just went to see him." If Angela could see Pu Guanshui's appearance, she would definitely find a strange look on his face, but it's a pity that his back is now facing him. He was looking at the girl, so Angela stopped asking after giving a soft oh. (Don't worry, I won't give him drops~)

If it was in normal times, she would definitely continue to ask questions like checking household registration.She will never give up without revealing the whole family situation of the other party. This guy has been like a living treasure in her eyes since Halloween—even if he is very good at kung fu—and because of grandma, he treats her in certain things. It can be regarded as obedience.

However, now, Angela didn't have this thought, she was still thinking about the situation at Natalie's house.To be honest, when she came to visit their family this time, she didn't think about touching Natalie, but, for some reason, as soon as she saw her, she immediately felt an urge to push her down.

This in the end is why?Leaning on the backrest, Angela closed her eyes and thought, that feeling seemed to have happened before, but when?

Suddenly, she thought of the lingering relationship with Kate in Edinburgh just a few days ago, which was on the 26th.They made an appointment to visit Rowling, so they stayed in Edinburgh for one night. Kate couldn't resist the temptation of Angela, who was already very different from the original one. In the same hotel, the two girls had sex again, changing patterns and tossing The whole night, it can really be said that they were lingering to death, and they didn't embrace each other until dawn.

Looking back now, although that scene couldn't help but make people blush.But if you analyze your psychology at the time, you will find that apart from family affection and love, there is also a desire for Kate!If you think about it carefully, this kind of desire appeared as early as when you hugged and played with Jessica, but I didn’t realize it, it was because this kind of desire was hidden very deeply, and it only appeared occasionally. It's tall, and it only surges out when she faces Natalie.

So what is this desire?Angela thought about it carefully, and suddenly discovered with horror that she also had this desire when she faced Rachel at Kate's house that day!Even earlier, it was possible when we met for the first time, but I didn't notice it because I was too jealous. Maybe that's why she recommended Rachel to star in "Titanic", and Why was the original jealousy already undetectable when I bumped into Rachel at Kate's house!All because of that damn possessiveness!Does that mean my feelings for Natalie are based solely on possessiveness?The girl thought frantically, maybe consciously or subconsciously, she just skipped something.

hell!This is impossible!Angela obviously didn't accept this conclusion. She wriggled her fingers irritably. I like her so much. I have collected all the information about her. How could I just base it on possessiveness...

"Hey! Angie! Are you okay?" A voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

Angela made up her mind.It was only then that the car was parked at the gate of Grandpa's villa. Pu Guanshui was looking in the rearview mirror suspiciously, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little distracted, okay, I'm going to get out of the car." Angela said something undercover, calmed down, then opened the car door and got out.

No, I'm not that kind of person.After getting off the car, Angela has completely calmed down. Yes, I don't deny that I had such a possessive desire and was dominated by it in my feelings, but the past does not mean that it will be the same now and in the future!I know what I'm doing!

Is it really?Maybe, anyway, there is still a long time, and everyone can wait and see.

------

Although this psychological problem has been solved, this New Year is still not a happy one. Of course, for Angela, who has become a habit of acting, she is still perfect in front of her elders, only when she is alone, she is a little dazed, which is okay. , She did not forget to hand over the manuscript brought by Aunt Rowling to Vincent.

"Honey, to be honest I don't think this story is worth much - of course, I'm not saying that the lady's writing is bad, but such novels are only suitable for children to read, and we don't publish children's books." In the text In Center's office, he said this to Angela.

If Angela used to be able to say a few words softly, but these days I am annoyed, so I said very directly: "Okay, Uncle Vincent, I just want to say that if you reject this book, you must Will regret it for life. I can swear on my name!"

"Hey, Angie..." Vincent wanted to smile bitterly, but the girl had already continued: "Also, this book is not purely a children's book, you should be able to tell that this is just the first book, the book The specific trend of the market is far from conclusive, and you are so eager to draw conclusions, which is not the level you should be."

"Well, this author, what does Ms. Rowling have to do with you?" Vincent asked again at this time.

"No relationship, we just know each other. I think I can help her. That's it. I have asked my uncle to help me as a publisher in the UK. It's okay if you don't want to. But, I say again, if you If you reject this book, you will regret it forever!" The girl spread her hands.

"Okay, okay, I see," Vincent held up his hands, "Actually, I didn't say no, it's just that we don't publish children's books, but since you're so sure, maybe I'll classify it Go to the magic and try it."

He paused at this point.A smiling face appeared again: "By the way, maybe you can write another novel in the world you created. You must know that there are many foreshadowings in "Ten Stories of Azeroth"."

Angela gave the other party a blank look, shrugging her shoulders in disbelief: "I'll talk about it later!"

After getting out of Vincent's, the girl went to Natalie's house again, this time to say goodbye, before she was due to fly to Los Angeles with her parents later in the afternoon.

Just like the previous few days, Angela generously hugged Natalie and kissed her face in the midst of people's gaze.She wanted to use actions to show that she was sensible, but even though she didn't take the opportunity to have a French wet kiss with the other party, her hands were still not very honest, but even this surprised Natalie a little, Somewhat suspicious.

After that, the girl finally left New York with the only regret.Although several friends from New York—Liv, Scarlett, etc.—have visited.But Avril Lavigne, who was close at hand, failed to go. The little guy had complained more than once in the letter. Maybe she could only go to Canada to see her during the summer vacation, or when she was free to travel.

The troubles about myself and Natalie can be put aside, but another trouble has not been resolved. If it is not a big trouble in London, but after learning about the specific situation in New York, this trouble makes her a little Frightened.

"Well, well, let me introduce you. This is Aunt Jennifer, the housekeeper at home. She is a very kind person, so don't be afraid of her!" In the living room of her villa, Angela smiled as Anne Hesse Wei introduces the housekeeper.

"Hello, Ms. Jennifer." The girl shook hands with each other generously.

"You are Anne, Mrs. Elena has already told you about your situation on the phone, welcome here." The housekeeper said with a smile, "If possible, I will take you here now, and introduce Get the others down."

Annie looked at Angela with some hesitation.

"It's okay, let's go." The girl said, pushing her, signaling to go with the housekeeper, don't pay attention to her.

Annie nodded, and left with Jennifer, while Angela greeted her parents after their backs disappeared in the corridor, went straight upstairs and returned to her room, and she didn't let go until the bedroom door was closed heavily behind her. He took a deep breath, and then crawled onto the bed with a plop.

Annie...God knows how to face her!Angela buried her head in the pillow and thought in distress, especially after knowing that her father committed suicide by jumping off a building because of a failed yen speculation in 90, her spine felt chills.

Is it your own wings?God knows!Well, the Plaza Accord robbing Japan is one of the few financial turmoil she remembers, but she really can’t remember that she mentioned the Plaza Accord in front of her parents or anyone else in the 90s, so How did this fan out?this is too scary!

Angela jumped up suddenly, came to the full-length mirror, looked at herself in it, she was still so beautiful, but because of this person, other people's families were ruined, this is really...

no no no!The girl shook her head again and again, this is wrong, who knows what will happen to the butterfly effect?Just like "The Sixth Sense" spawned many horror films in advance after its release in 93, such as "Scream" released before Halloween in 94 (it was "scream" not "scream").

Well, in other words, if many children who should have been born were not born because of her rebirth, would all of these be counted on her?

Just after being relieved by this thought, Angela became depressed again. After all, Anne's situation is different. It would be fine if she hadn't been born, but the problem now is that she was born, and her father committed suicide, her mother ran away, and her family was ruined. Now, as the only variable in this world, then if it's not because of yourself, but also because of whom?

This conclusion made her very depressed, as if she had become the murderer who ruined Annie's family, which was obviously not the case!Angela had a headache.

So now she can only think about the good side, for example, she should thank the godfather for choosing Anne and let her be her personal playmate, so that she can make up for it to some extent.Otherwise, if Anne becomes a stripper due to family reasons one day, and she finds out about it, wouldn't she die of guilt?

"OK, keep smiling, honey, you have to keep smiling, remember, treat her like a younger sister." Angela made a face in the mirror, and then went out, she wanted Jennifer to arrange Annie to live in her Opposite or next door, so that she can take care of her. Of course, it's really hard to say who will take care of whom.

In this way, Anne Hathaway walked into Angela's life, I believe there will be many stories between them!
