Coming out of lunch at a restaurant, Dukla opened the back door, waited for Scarlett to get into the car, opened the front door and sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and looked behind.

"Are you going home?" Duke asked.

"I don't want to go back." Scarlett immediately shook her head, leaned into the driver's seat, and said with a wink of her eyes, "Are you going to throw me down again, Duke?" ”

Duke frowned, "I'm going to Malibu in the afternoon." ”

"Didn't you go to see the house?" The little girl remembered it very clearly, "Godmother said let me follow you today, anyway, you are also alone, will I go with you?" ”

"Yes, but not too much, Scarlett!"

Motioning for Scarlett to sit down, Duke started the Bentley and slowly drove out of the parking lot, "It's almost time, we have to hurry." ”

"Aren't you going to continue living in North Hollywood?" The little girl's head popped out from behind again, and Duke had to slow down and remind, "Scarlett, buckle up or I'll send you home!" ”

"You'll bully me!"

She muttered as she sat back and fastened her seatbelts and continued, "Are you ready to move out of North Hollywood?" ”

"Hmm......" Duke just nodded.

The apartment here is rented, since the North American box office of "Independence Day" broke 300 million US dollars, many paparazzi have also listed him as a target of concern, although the community management of North Hollywood is also strict, but it can't stop the ubiquitous paparazzi, and his finances are getting more and more abundant, and it's time to buy a house of his own.

What's more, the current real estate price is still relatively low, even from the perspective of value preservation, it is very cost-effective to buy a luxury house.

Crossing the canyon of Highway 1 and into Malibu, Duke quickly converged with the real estate agent, led by the other party. Head towards the Malibu Beach area.

A few days ago, the other party mailed him pictures of several houses, and Duke took a fancy to one of them and went straight to his destination.

Ten minutes later, Duke was already standing in front of a mansion with the real estate agent.

"It's nice here. It was quiet and beautiful. ”

Holding Duke's sleeve and looking at the sea not far away, Scarlett had a very satisfied expression, "It's big enough." ”

Duke turned his head to look at her, and the little girl immediately closed her mouth.

This is not a seaside villa, but a seafront estate set on 3 acres of land facing the Pacific Ocean. With Santa Monica Hill in the back and a private driveway in the middle of the trees, the Coastal Highway 1 is easy to access.

The estate occupies a separate cliff, far enough away from its neighbors to the left and right, and the distinctive eye-shaped main building stands on a cliff by the sea under the arch of two small houses in the wing, and has a special elevator and passage to the private beach below the cliff.

Be accompanied by a real estate agent. Duke looked at the manor's woods, gardens, outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts, and was basically satisfied. In particular, the grove surrounded on three sides not only plays a role in greening, but also shields the sight from the outside, effectively protecting the privacy of the estate.

"Here by the famous architect John? Trauna Design. ”

For the real estate agent, Duke was definitely a top client, and he didn't make any sales pitches during the whole process. Now that Duke seems to be more satisfied, this is the basic situation, "Built in 1962, the previous owner of the house was the famous musician Russ? Garcia, which is known in Los Angeles as the house on stilts......"

He nodded slightly. Duke motioned for a curious Scarlett to follow, and was the first to walk into the huge eye-shaped villa.

The real estate agent named Lynch immediately followed, and continued, "There are a total of 11 bedrooms and supporting reception rooms, bathrooms, plus dining rooms, living rooms and grand ballrooms, a total of 53 rooms on three floors......

Listening to the words of the real estate agent, Duke walked into the living room, stepped over the empty and spotless floor, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the seaside side, through which you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Ocean and the beach from above, and the whole estate seems to be wrapped in fresh air and the gentle sea breeze, which can be called the first choice to escape from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and enjoy a natural and clean life.

In addition to the factors of the house itself, Duke also has other factors to consider.

The estate is located right next to Santa Monica Mountain, and if you follow Coastal Highway 1, you can reach Santa Monica's private marina area in less than half an hour, not far from your mother's side.

There is also the advent of the Internet era, the privacy of celebrities is completely unguaranteed in the future, the manor occupies a separate small cliff, except for the side facing the sea, the other three sides have both high walls and tall evergreen trees as shelter, unless the paparazzi use the plane, don't want to peek into the scenery of the manor from the outside.

Finally, the elevator leads to a private beach under the cliff, which is not large, less than half an acre, and the northernmost beach is cut off by a protruding cliff, on which the previous owner has built a passage and a very small pier where small yachts can be docked.

After going around the main facilities of the manor, Duke was generally satisfied, except for the price, of course, although the dollar was stronger than the future because of the age, but the seller still offered a high price of 9.5 million US dollars!

"Mr. Rosenberg......"

When I walked into the parking lot, the real estate agent politely asked, "Are you satisfied with this place?" ”

"It's okay." Duke casually remarked.

Although a large revenue share is about to come in, the price is still a bit inflated for Duke, and of course he won't go to bargain in person, Nancy? Josephson's assistant will take care of the matter, and there is room for the property to drop in price based on current market prices.

"Do you have a crush, Duke?"

Back in the car, Scarlett? Johnson sat in the back row and asked, "I think it's good, what do you think?" ”

"Okay." Duke replied casually.

"Hey, I'm seriously discussing with you!" Scarlett raised her voice in dissatisfaction.

"I'm serious too!"

That being said, Duke's attitude hasn't changed at all.

Scarlett puffed out her cheeks angrily, and found that Duke was engrossed in driving, not looking behind at all, and exhaled this deliberately held breath, clasped her hands to her chest, and stared at the tall figure driving in front of her.

"I figured it out." Scarlett said crisply, "You will definitely buy that house, your eyes sell your thoughts, that house ......"

It was entirely deliberate, and on the way back from Malibu to North Hollywood, Scarlett managed to turn into a chatterbox, poisoning Duke's ears in the way he least liked.

The consequence is that as soon as he enters the confines of North Hollywood, Duke turns on the road to the suburbs of Burbank, regardless of Scarlett? Johnson's objections forcibly sent her home.

"I'll remember you, Duke!"

After getting out of the car, the little girl's face was full of grievances, and she seemed to cry out at any time, "Remember that when I was young, you always bullied me with an age advantage!" When I grow up, I'll come back, I swear! I swear I'll settle accounts with you in the future! ”

The little girl walked towards the house angrily, as if she didn't want to look back at Duke, but the moment she knocked on the door and entered, the corners of her mouth turned upwards unconsciously when she saw the familiar Bentley still parked in place.

But before her expression of joy could come out, the kitchen was filled with a crisp sound similar to porcelain falling on the floor, followed by the sound of a man and a woman arguing, accompanied by the sound of more falling things......

This scene has happened countless times in the past year, Scarlett stood at the door in a daze, looking over there, the corners of her mouth slowly falling, her blue and green eyes full of confusion and sadness, as if she had been abandoned.

No one cared about her, no one cared about her, even the brother who helped her open the door, when he walked upstairs, did not look back at her, did not hand over even a single comforting look.

The little girl's proud little head, which was always held high in the past, slowly drooped, and her big eyes gradually filled with tears, but she stubbornly refused to fall.

Having only been at home for less than a minute, Scarlett? Johnson turned and pushed the door open and walked out again, her head hanging like an aimless little zombie, staggering to the entrance of the garden.

As soon as he started the car, Duke saw Scarlett push open the door and walk towards this side with her head down, not at all naughty and mischievous.

Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, Duke opened the car door and walked over, and the little guy seemed to be distracted and didn't even see him.

"Scarlett, what's going on?"

Hearing the familiar question, Scarlett looked up at Duke, as if she had found her target, bypassed him, and walked straight towards the Bentley, and Duke quickly followed.

Seeing the little girl skillfully open the car door and fasten her seatbelt, but did not speak, Duke got into the driver's seat, turned around and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?" ”

Scarlett raised her head and looked at Duke seriously for a moment before she whispered, "They're arguing again, no one pays attention to me, and no one cares about me." ”

"Can I follow you, Duke?" She looked at this side with blank eyes, "Although you are fierce and love to bully me, and you always like to lose your temper with me for no reason, I know that you care about me." ”

Hearing the previous words, Duke almost crooked his nose in anger, but when he heard the latter words, he could only sigh, and it could be seen from that phone call, Scarlett? Johnson's current family environment is not good, and it seems that there is a big problem in the relationship between his parents.

"Okay, let's go to Santa Monica." Duke started the car, "I'll call your home when I get back." ”

"Can I stay with my godmother at night?" She asked, expectantly.

"As long as you want."

Anyway, he can go home and throw it to his mother, and he doesn't have to bother himself, if possible, just drop her down and go straight back to the apartment in North Hollywood. (To be continued......)
