Chapter 113: I Have Exact News
"Well, I think you've heard too many things like 'listen to your parents' and 'it's for your own good,' so I won't repeat them here," and only after the little girl had finished venting did Sean speak, "Trust me, Millie, I understand your feelings, because that's how I grew up." β
After a small pause, looking at Camilla's beautiful eyes, Sean said very seriously: "First of all, children are dissatisfied with their parents, want to resist and want to say what they think, and want to announce to Shijie who I am, this is a normal thing, everyone has to go through it in the process of growing up. So, you don't need to blame yourself for it, and you don't need to feel guilty, because it's an inevitable process.
But that's not to say that you can do whatever you want, you have to understand who you are, what you need, what you can do. It's a complicated process, some people even spend their whole lives looking for this answer, you can't do it alone, you need help. Let's put aside the idea of 'think about your parents' and 'think about what other people think', and I want to know, Millie, can you take responsibility for your actions? Can you take the consequences of making your own decisions? β
Speaking of this, Sean raised a hand and stopped Camilla from speaking: "To take the simplest example, when you sneaked out of the studio today and found me and asked me to take you out shopping, what if I was a bad person?" β
He actually wanted to say, what are you going to do if I'm a pedophile, anyway, this little girl who has a headache even knows the word violation, but considering that there are still people listening, so I put up with it.
"But you're not," Camilla pouted, not very happy, but noticeably shorter, "I said when I was in the studio, I think you're not bad, you're not a bad person, and now it's proven that I'm right." β
"Do you really want to regret it when something happens?" Sean said in a gentle and stern tone, and the little girl was silent for a while, but she was slightly unconvinced.
"To understand who you are, to understand what you need, to understand what you can do, you must first acknowledge the objective facts," Sean continued, "and the objective truth is that you have just begun to know this shijie, you have just begun to show yourself, your current thinking is not perfect, and your current cognition is not necessarily comprehensive. If you don't admit this, you won't be able to discover what you're missing, you won't know what responsibilities you have to take when making choices, what costs you have to pay, and you won't be able to communicate with others and your parents. β
"They don't want to communicate with me." Camila whispered.
"Tell me about me," Sean said after looking at her for a moment, "I was probably in 10th grade, and I used to go to some bars in the neighborhood to play guitar and sing to earn pocket money. But my father didn't allow it, because ...... It wasn't serious work, at least in his opinion.
I know that he was actually worried about me, about learning something bad, about something bad going to happen to me, and in fact I did have some really bad guests. However, he obviously didn't understand what I was thinking, so he just asked me very rudely not to do it again, and after careful consideration I agreed, and although I was a little angry, it was really not what I wanted. β
After a pause for a few seconds, a complicated look flashed in Sean's eyes, and then he added: "You see, everyone has had conflicts with their parents, but everyone uses extreme means to fight, and it will be a disaster." Knowing what you want, then working hard to pursue it, compromising when necessary, as long as you don't give up on your goals, that's what everyone should do. β
He sighed softly: "Moreover, parents always love their children - don't be in a hurry to refute, this is also an objective fact." Yes, sometimes this love is too strong and too sweet, like wrapping you in honey and making you unable to breathe, but it is still love, the love of your parents, isn't it? β
The little girl was completely silent, curled up on the sofa and hugged her legs, pursed her mouth and looked away, ignoring even Pock, who was wagging his tail beside her, not knowing what she was thinking.
Sean couldn't help but smile bitterly, he seemed to be too complicated, and he was really not suitable to be a teacher. Just then, there was a sound of talk outside, and the door was opened.
"Where did you leave something with me, calling and not answering, what the hell do you want to do?!" Jordana appeared at the door, looking angry, and then turned into surprise when she saw Camilla, "Millie? How did you end up here?! β
"Little Joe?!" Camila suddenly became panicked, but she wanted to run away but didn't know where to run.
"Is that what happened, Sean? How did Millie come to your house again? Does her family know? Jordana looked at Sean with a questioning look, and she couldn't tell that she was acting at all.
"It's a hassle to explain this, so it's better to sit down and let me explain it in detail." Sean secretly praised in his heart, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, with Jordana, he was not afraid that this little guy would be a scoundrel again.
It only took 15 minutes for Sean to explain the cause and effect clearly, which had been communicated on the phone before, and now he just added the details.
"I didn't know you were so good, Millie! You can sneak away, and you can use yourself to threaten others! After hearing this, Jordana immediately put on a vicious expression.
Sean couldn't help frowning, her expression changed too quickly, and she had the feeling that she had already been prepared. However, Camilla is still just a child after all, and Jordana's arrival made her feel weak, so she didn't notice it.
"No, I just ...... I'm just ......" she wanted to explain.
"You don't want to go out, let me be alone with her?" Jordana turned to Sean.
"I'm sorry, Millie," Sean shrugged at the little girl's pleading gaze, "I don't dare anger her." β
After throwing Camilla to Jordana, Sean who came out of the inner room can finally relax completely, and it should be okay tonight, right?
Unfortunately, he was still too naΓ―ve, and after what seemed like a century, Jordana finally opened the door.
"Mr. Law's call." She blinked, smiling narrowly.
"Hello, Sean," Camilla's father's voice came from there, "First of all, I want to ask you, we have always been suspicious of you, and I believe you can understand the worries of being a parent." β
"Yes, Jack, I understand, so I suggest having Little Joe come over." Sean didn't take it to heart at all.
"Secondly, I want to thank you for all the words you said for us in front of Millie, who had already spoken to us on the phone and to us daoqian. Chrissy and I will try our best to pay attention to the way of education in the future, and communicate with her more on an equal footing to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. The other party continued.
There can be no true equality between parents and children. Sean was about to say this, but he just laughed: "You didn't blame me for directing indiscriminately, I'm already grateful." β
"Why," laughed too, "you're saying very well, you don't want a young man who is only 19 years old at all, Millie likes you very much, so, I agree with her to stay with you for one night, with Jordana." β
"Hmm...... Well? Sean's eyes widened. What are you kidding, you can finally let that little girl go, you tell me now, she still wants to stay for one night, and she agrees!
He looked up at Jordana, who had her trademark wicked grin, and Camila poked her head out of the side and held up the split phone and snorted a few times.
"No problem, Sean?" Rouse asked over there.
"Hmm...... No problem, Jack. Sean had to reply like this, he was not in the house before, he didn't know what they said, he didn't have a corresponding strategy at all, and as for Galen and Saunders, he didn't count on them at this time.
Fortunately, although Jordana stayed with Camilla like this, she didn't do much and just excluded Sean. This made Sean happy and a little depressed at the same time, glad that he could finally get rid of Camilla, although she was actually not that annoying, depressed ...... Well, he admits that the reason why he proposed to bring Jordana over before was that he did have some kind of idea, but unfortunately Zuihou still fell through.
What made him feel a little comforted was that the next day, when the Rolls came to pick up Camilla and leave, Jordana smiled and whispered in his ear that it was a good job, apparently, this toss sped up the effect of the previous trip to the studio.
In addition, before Camila left, she hugged him and kissed him hard, and it seemed that Sean left a deep impression on her, but the words after that were not very good: "I will come to you to play when I have time in the future." β
Still playing? One time is enough. Sean lamented in his heart.
But others didn't see it that way, so Sanders jokingly teased: "You have already won the heart of a little girl, maybe in a few years she will be arguing to marry you, what is there to sigh?" β
Well, this matter is over for the time being, as for the future...... That's later, and instead of thinking about those, it's better to solve the immediate problem first, like the previous audition for "Pearl Harbor." Although he didn't care about this role, since he participated in the audition, he always had to listen to the results to know, but he didn't expect the results to be ...... Such an accident.
"It's no fun, Sean, this time the actor in the "Pearl Harbor" competition failed." As soon as the first month of the millennium passed, Frederick rushed to Sean's house in a hurry, and the first thing he said was this.
"What's going on? Isn't there another round of auditions? Sean wasn't too surprised, but the agent's next sentence made his eyes widen.
"The role has been decided, is it? Affleck. Frederick said weakly.
"How could it be...... It's him? Sean asked, blinking.
"Hmm......" The agent looked around, then leaned into his ear and said in the lowest voice, "I have the exact news, Affleck...... Blew a few times on a certain big guy (note). β
