"My life is monotonous, I catch chickens, people catch me, all chickens are the same, all people are the same. So, I'm getting a little bored. But if you tame me, my life will be happy......"

Joanna Pakula sat on a beach mat, holding a thin copy of The Little Prince, reading slowly and softly, her voice calm and reassuring, her voice scattered with the afternoon breeze and blended with the sound of the waves not far away.

This is the private beach of an estate in East Hampton, Long Island, with a beach mat on pure white sand, a parasol standing behind it, blocking out most of the blazing afternoon sun, and a small round table next to the beach mat with some snacks and drinks.

Wearing only a pair of beach pants, Eric lay relaxed next to Joanna with his arms on his pillow, his eyes narrowed, not knowing if he was asleep. And there is a distance of more than half a meter between the two, covered with a thick blanket, two cute little guys are lying on the blanket, Kevin, who is close to Eric's side, has his eyes closed and his mouth is slightly open, and he is sleeping soundly. Joanna's side of Hawaii, on the other hand, had the clean eyes peculiar to babies, and looked at the books in her mother's hand with agility, only blinking a few times when Joanna occasionally turned the page, as if urging something.

After a week away from Los Angeles, Eric turned off his mobile phone, stopped reading the upsetting newspapers lately, stopped thinking too much about the company, took only an hour a day to deal with emails, and focused most of the rest of his energy on the two little ones, looking like he was moving in the direction of a full-time daddy.

Joanna finished another page of the book and reached out to touch the soft blonde hair of her daughter beside her. He looked contentedly at Eric not far away. I continued to read softly. In his early twenties, he walked out of the Polish National Drama Academy. Chasing fame and fortune, encountering ups and downs, having small glory, experiencing great downfalls, like a small boat lost in the ocean, fluttering, thirty-five years old, finally leaned on a quiet harbor surrounded by mountains on three sides. Although there are only seven points of perfection, they are no longer demanding.

Even if the sudden concealment after "Tornado" caused a lot of speculation and ridicule in the media, Joanna was always at ease, because she knew that a little man would protect their mother and daughter very well.

He did protect them well.

After reading for a while, Joanna heard a voice behind her, and turned her head to see a tall figure in a T-shirt and hot pants walking up the stone steps that connected the beach to the manor.

The girl saw Joanna looking at her, waved her hand, and walked down the steps, taking off her heels and setting them aside. Walking briskly in the sand, he crouched down beside Joanna. hugged her neck and made a close salute affectionately, and leaned over to peck lightly on the Hawaiian little face, and then reached out and pinched Kevin's fleshy face before standing up.

Joanna looked at her sister and leaned towards Eric after doing this, and some helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Eva, you said you were going to participate in the catwalk of Fashion Week, isn't it time to train now?"

Eva Pakula finally completed the immigration with the help of her sister a few months ago, and although she is 14 years younger than Joanna, Eva Pakula, a fellow mother, is also a beautiful embryo. With Emily's help, Ava Pakula soon signed a modeling agency and recently received an offer from Emily's fashion company to walk the catwalk at New York Fashion Week in September.

"I'm here for work," said Eva Pakula, picking up the cup on the round table and pouring herself a glass of juice, and lay down on the beach mat beside Eric, grabbing a strand of blonde hair from her ear and stroking it around Eric's face.

Joanna was a little disgruntled and was about to stop her sister when she saw Eric waking up with a shake of his head.

Seeing Eric open his eyes, Eva Pakula immediately let go of the hair in her hand and greeted casually, "Hi, Eric. ”

Eric subconsciously touched his cheek, saw the girl next to him greeting him, and understood, sat up and was about to say hello to Eva Pakula, when a baby's cry came from beside him, and Hawaii, who was about to squint his eyes and nap because his mother had stopped reading, heard his brother's cry and cried too.

Eric didn't bother to pay attention to Eva, and Joanna hurriedly picked up the two little ones one by one, Eric briefly checked it, and said, "Pee, Joan, let's go back." ”

Eva Pakula leaned over a little weakly and said, "Eric, do you want my help?"

Eric gestured to the blanket on the beach mat, "Take this back, leave the rest alone, and let the maid clean it up." ”

Eva Pakula nodded, squatted down to fold the blanket, and when she got up, Eric and Joanna had already walked to the stone steps not far away, and hurriedly followed, walked to the stone steps, put on her high heels, and walked all the way to the manor along the dense bush road, looking at the surrounding green environment and the luxurious villa not far away, Eva Pakula's heart appeared with irrepressible envy.

In just a few months after coming to the United States, Eva Pakula deeply realized how rich her little sister really was. In order to protect the two women and children from being disturbed as much as possible, Eric bought six large and small estates in Southampton and East Hampton, and Eva Pakula had only been in the United States for a few months, and when she first lived with Joanna, she moved several times with her sister, who had not been seen for many years.

However, before Eva Pakula could get used to this luxurious life, Joanna was driven to Manhattan to participate in modeling training, although Joanna arranged a place for her to live in Manhattan a hundred times better than the girls who also participated in the training with her but could only live in the basement, but Eva wanted to live in such a spacious and luxurious manor with servants all the time.

In some of the psychology that can be easily seen through, after Eric came to Long Island, Eva has returned from Manhattan three times in just one week, which is why Joanna felt helpless just now.

When Joanna and Eric got along, because of Eric's mature temperament, they felt that the two were completely the same age. But although Eva is only a year younger than Eric. Joanna is more emotionally towards her like a daughter. There is pity and spoiling, and there is helplessness in the face of my sister's careful thoughts. Although Joanna was comfortable serving Eric with Virginia, it was hard for her to imagine what it would be like if her sister got together with Eric.

Virginia didn't have Joanna's tranquil temperament, recovered for a few months after giving birth, and soon took another film contract, and now she has gone out to film, when Eric didn't come. Both little ones are taken care of by Joanna and a couple of babysitters.

After coming to the villa, putting her daughter to sleep carefully in the crib, and instructing a nanny to watch over her carefully, Joanna came to Eric's side to change Kevin's diaper, and looked at her sister who was wandering around the hall with some concern, and Joanna gently patted Eric on the arm.

"What's wrong?" asked Eric casually, still carefully wiping his son's body, without raising his head.

"Eric, you...... You don't want to provoke Eva, okay?"

Eric smiled, changed his son's diaper, and reached out to scratch the little one's belly. said: "You obviously saw it, it's your sister who is provoking me." ”

Joanna frowned. Just about to say something. Eric turned around and took the woman in his arms, patted her on the back, and said, "Don't worry, I promise you." ”

Joanna couldn't believe it: "You didn't lie to me?"

Eric smiled, let go of Joanna, picked up her son, who was still fluttering on his two calves, and whispered, "Why should I lie to you?"

Joanna turned her head to look at her sister, who was standing on the west side of the hall and looking at an oil painting on the wall, and suddenly asked, "Isn't Eva beautiful enough?"

Eva Pakula is of course very beautiful, but Eric always feels that Eva Pakula does not have Joanna's temperament that has been cultivated by the years, so he does not have any other thoughts.

However, Eric will not say his evaluation calmly, but just shakes his head with a smile: "Heh, you women, your mind is always so strange." ”

Joanna also felt that there was something wrong with her question, and a blush of shame appeared on her cheeks, and she slapped Eric, who was still smiling evilly: "It's not all your fault. ”

Eric watched his son squint his eyes again, then handed it to the nanny and walked upstairs, "I'll go take a shower first." ”

When they went downstairs again, the two sisters sat side by side on the living room couch and read a magazine. Eric said hello to Eva and brewed the coffee himself, before walking to the sofa with a tray and sitting down, dividing a few cups and pouring the coffee.

After a few more conversations with her sister, Eva Pakula looked up and asked, "Eric, have you been free lately?"

Eric handed the steaming coffee to the two girls and said with a smile, "Of course I'm free, do you need my help?"

"That's right, Emily asked me to invite you to her company's fashion week runway. ”

Eric remembers the last time he occasionally heard Eva say that she would participate in the New York Fashion Week catwalk that started on September 10th, and when he heard this invitation, he immediately lost interest, not to mention that Eric didn't know anything about fashion catwalks, even if he went, he was completely in the state of a dog looking at the stars, and, more importantly, in Eric's impression, the fashion catwalks of several major fashion weeks were really nothing to see, most of the models did not meet Eric's aesthetics, and a small number of them were pleasing to the eye, and it was estimated that they would be dressed up by designers in a strange shape.

"I'm not going, I can't appreciate those things," Eric said, shaking his head, blunt.

Seeing that Eric refused so simply, Eva Pakula immediately showed a pitiful expression, and shook Joanna's arm, as if she wanted her sister to support her.

Joanna had no choice but to say: "Eric, I used to be a model for a while, in fact, many guests in the fashion show don't know much about those arts, the organizer invited them just to improve the fame and attention of the show, anyway, you haven't had anything to do recently, just go once, isn't Emily's fashion company still your shares?"

Eric listened to Joanna with his coffee in his hand, and nodded cheerfully, "Okay, I'll go." ”

Joanna thought that Eric would continue to refuse, and she would continue to prepare her words, but when she heard him agree so simply, she was stunned, and soon understood something, and laughed softly. And the sister beside her involuntarily let out a soft snort, and her arm around Joanna shook again: "Joan, look at him, it must be on purpose." ”

Eric looked up and gave Ava a look of surprise, as if to say, 'You've found out what I've done'.

Eva Pakula rolled her eyes, but took out the invitation she had prepared from her bag and handed it over, and said to Joanna, "Joan, you can go with you." ”

Joanna reached out to help her little sister cut the hair around her ears and said, "Who will take care of the two babies when I go?" ”

Eva pointed to the babysitter in the nursery who was guarding the two little ones: "Can't they?"

Joanna just shook her head slightly.

Seeing Joanna's refusal, Eva Pakula stopped persuading and immediately turned to the man opposite: "Eric, can I play with you then?"

Eric wondered, "What?"

"I mean, I'm going to go out with you and have someone help take a few pictures, can you see it?"

"Why?"

Eva said unabashedly: "Because you are very famous, if you appear with you, then I, a nobody, will soon become famous." ”

Eric looked at Joanna and saw that the woman was smiling and silent, so he had to nod: "Okay, but I don't have a good reputation as a person, be careful that others will scribble." ”

Eva Pakula even had some expectations in her heart, and when she heard Eric's words, she immediately waved her hand cheerfully and said, "Don't worry, I won't mind." ”

Eric opened the invitation and looked at it, the time was September 12th, and he came to Long Island to rest for a week, Eric's original inexplicable emotions had dissipated a lot, and he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a movie that should be produced in New York during this period, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that it turned out to be Luc Besson's famous "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

Although he chose to cooperate with Gaumont to produce this film, Eric did not interfere too much, and even forgot about this famous film for a long time, according to the preparation schedule, this film is likely to have begun production.

Maybe you can go to the set to have a look at it while participating in Fashion Week, but Eric suddenly thought that he didn't know who that Lori would be in this time and space. (To be continued......)
