Southampton is not just a football club in the United Kingdom, but also the name of a famous town in the north of Long Island, New York, compared to the world's famous Upper East Side of Manhattan, Southampton's reputation does not seem to be too conspicuous, but someone has made a statistic that the average resident of this small town close to the Atlantic Ocean is worth more than one million dollars, Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", the hero Gatsby's luxury mansion prototype is near this town.

Early in the morning, in a mansion connected to the white sand beach in the town, Joanna stood in front of the bathroom sink, staring blankly at the small thing with two red lines in her hand, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

I don't know how long I was in a daze, but there was a knock on the door a few times, and Virginia's surprised voice came in: "Joan, Joan, come out quickly, I'm pregnant!"

Joanna frantically threw the pregnancy test into the trash and straightened her somewhat messy hair in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom and opening the door.

Virginia at the door was wearing pajamas, her hair was a little messy, but her little face looked radiant, holding a white pregnancy test stick in her hand and said excitedly: "Two, finally two, you see." ”

Joanna took it and looked at it, not knowing what to do for a moment, so she pulled herself together and said, "Congratulations, Vicky, but when are you going to tell Eric." ”

Hearing this question, Virginia suddenly wilted a little, although she had planned very well, but when it came to the end, Virginia was still worried about Eric's reaction.

"I, or else, that ...... Joan. Can you test Eric's reaction for me?" Virginia blinked. Said with some trepidation.

Joanna immediately refused: "I don't do such a thing." Otherwise, Eric would have thought I was pregnant. ”

Virginia seemed to be inspired: "Yes, that's it, Joan, you call and tell Eric now, just say you're pregnant, and see how he reacts, if he ...... If you're angry, you can just tell him it's a prank. Hee-hee, I'm such a genius, that's it. ”

Virginia said, reaching out and grabbing Joanna as she went downstairs to make a call. Joanna, who was dragged downstairs, was shocked in her heart, the key was that she was pregnant.

"I'll help you dial, remember, you don't show it," Virginia picked up the phone and was about to dial, Joanna immediately pressed Virginia's small hand: "Vicky." It should be one o'clock in the morning over there in Hawaii, right?"

"I forgot that, he must have just fallen asleep. If you are woken up at this time, your temper will definitely be worse," Virginia put down the microphone and counted with her fingers: "Then it will be twelve o'clock at noon, he is used to getting up at six o'clock." ”

Joanna breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and shook her head resolutely: "Also, Vicky, I will never help you do this 'prank', I want to test you yourself." ”

Virginia immediately showed a pitiful look: "Joan, how can you be like this, we are good sisters, and you won't even help me with this little favor." ”

"No," Joanna said, helplessly, "I mean, you'll have to tell Eric sooner or later, I think, I think...... Maybe the longer you hide it, the more angry he becomes, so you might as well tell him directly. ”

"But what if he doesn't want this child?" asked Virginia worriedly.

When Joanna heard this, her heart tightened slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to touch her lower abdomen, but quickly suppressed this urge and said: "If he doesn't want it, then we will give birth to the child ourselves, we, we can't afford to raise it." ”

Virginia thought for a moment, and slowly rubbed over to Joanna and hugged her waist, as if seeking comfort: "Then we can make up our minds, let's bring it up together." ”

Joanna patted Virginia soothingly, and said soothingly, "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe he likes it very much." ”

"It's strange that he likes it, didn't I tell you a long time ago, a big boy of his age hates children the most. ”

"But you always have to deal with it, don't you, you think about it, I'll make you breakfast," Joanna patted Virginia on the back again, got up from the sofa, came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door to block the figure, Joanna secretly glanced at Virginia in a daze in the living room, feeling a little guilty, before learning Eric's reaction, she didn't plan to tell Virginia the news that she was also pregnant, she was more than Virginia and was afraid that Eric would reject the child in her belly, in just a few minutes, Joanna had already made up her mind, if Eric reacted too much, she would temporarily leave the United States and secretly find a place to give birth to the child,

Half an hour later, bringing breakfast to the table, Virginia seemed to adjust her mood, and sat down at the table: "I just called to book a private doctor, go for a check-up in the morning, hey, no matter how the bastard reacts, I have to give birth to this little thing in my stomach anyway." ”

Joanna shared breakfast for Virginia, trying to make her tone seem nonchalant: "When are you going to tell him?"

"At least wait until he finishes filming "Jurassic Park" and then find time to tell him. ”

Joanna also knew that this was a more suitable time, bowed her head and silently ate a few bites of bread, and Joanna remembered a very important question: "Vicky, what about your work?"

Virginia had a faint doubt, and didn't understand why Joanna suddenly asked this question, but still said: "I have already arranged it, you know the action movie of Fox that I made a cameo in last time, they will be released at the end of the year, I don't have many scenes, so I don't have to participate in the promotion." Recently, Kapoor is helping me negotiate a contract for a feature film, which is expected to start filming next month, it will take about two months, just pay attention, no one will find out that I am pregnant, the salary of these two films plus some of the money I saved before, it is enough for me to use it for a long time, and I can take a year or two off to take care of the children after filming. ”

Joanna listened to Virginia's coherent plan, and unconsciously felt a little envious in her heart.

Because of the different growth environment, Virginia has been learning to stand alone since she was twelve years old, no matter how good or bad the external environment is, Virginia can make her life seem orderly, while Joanna's own life trajectory seems very messy and completely unplanned. For now, "Tornado" did not bring her much income, if she did not have children, she could have relied on the fame brought by "Tornado" to accumulate a sum of money in the next few years, but now, once the child is born, even the exposure of this news will definitely have a great impact on her public image. What if Eric rejects this kid......

The anxiety about the future made Joanna more and more worried, after breakfast, while Virginia was changing clothes, Joanna picked up the phone in the living room and hurriedly dialed her agent's number: "Hey, Charlie, didn't you say last time that there was a movie on the Universal's side that suited me...... Yes, I think next, but I have a few conditions......"

……

“…… Joan, do you think I'm the kind of person who is cautious, as long as you think the script is suitable, I definitely won't object, but since it's a Universal project, Eisner can't be too stingy, how much do they pay you...... Well, the number is quite generous, when will the movie be turned on...... At the end of the month, what to do in such a hurry...... Oh well...... Okay, I'll hang up, goodbye," Eric ended the call, shrugged with a smile, picked up the script and walked out of the room.

It's mid-August, the sixth week of filming of "Jurassic Park", although a tropical storm at the beginning of the month delayed the filming of the crew for a few days, but the impact is still under control, if everything goes well, Eric can even close the camera in advance before September 10th, and rush to Paris to attend the opening ceremony of Disneyland Europe.

Eric thought about these things, and as soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, a deep middle-aged man's voice rang out enthusiastically: "Hi, Eric, good morning." ”

"Morning, Donald, I've been in a meeting last night, I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up in person," Eric hugged Donald Trump, and then looked at the shy girl standing next to the middle-aged man, perhaps because she had entered the development period, and she hadn't seen her for a year, and the eleven-year-old Ivanka Trump had risen a lot, from a little loli to a slim and delicate girl.

"Hey, Ini, do you still recognize me?"

The girl who heard this obviously had an expression of wanting to roll her eyes, but she still said politely like a little lady, "Hello, Eric. ”

The three of them walked into the restaurant together, ordered breakfast, and chatted with each other for a while, before Ivanka, who had been a little silent, spoke for the first time: "Eric, can I not appear in the camera with a puppet this time?"

"Ah, but, Ini...... I'm ready. ”

Ivanka finally couldn't help but roll her eyes helplessly: "Eric, you are one of the best directors in Hollywood, can you not do such childish things, I am not the mascot of your movie." ”

"Ini, first of all, I have to thank you for the compliment, but this is not naïve at all, after "Human Ghost" and "Tornado", the audience has just noticed you, if you suddenly change your style at this time and give up the image of the 'little girl holding a puppet', there will be no such gimmick effect. ”

"Little girl hugging a puppet, this is boring, my God, I would agree to do such a boring thing for a hundred dollars, Eric, shall I give you back that hundred dollars?"

Eric said with a 'straight face': "Ini, it's not just a hundred dollars now, the air tickets and accommodation fees for you and your father to and from Hawaii are all provided by the crew." ”

Ivanka looked at her father.

Donald Trump nodded with a 'heavy' face: "The two of us will each cost at least five thousand dollars, if you don't act, ......"

Faced with an unscrupulous father who colluded with Eric, Ivanka was immediately defeated, and the girl even had some doubts about life, was she really born in a billionaire family?

After a few hours, Ivanka ended up holding a large dinosaur puppet and appeared in the joint scene when programmer Dennis traded dinosaur embryos with people. (To be continued......)
