Chapter 362: Coming Home
It's Christmas again, and California is the same as ever, with little festive vibe. This is not to say that people don't care, Westerners take this important holiday very seriously, the major shopping malls have erected Christmas trees early, various sales promotions have also started, and the flow of people on the streets is far more than usual, but ...... There was no snow.
"Remember, Sean, only a snowy Christmas is Christmas!" Liana, who was standing in front of the kitchen counter and stirring the soup pot with a spoon, said.
"Really?" Sean, who was chopping the onion, tilted his head and then made an unshaven expression, "You've only spent a few Christmases in New York and the East Coast, and you've started betraying this side." ”
"I'm telling the truth, as long as you try the White Christmas on the East Coast." Liana shrugged.
"White Christmas?" Sean raised an eyebrow, "You've already tried it with someone?" ”
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" Liana asked without looking back, and Sean, who felt the problem, immediately changed the topic and asked, "I'm saying, it's just that you're just coming to the kitchen to help, why do you want to pull me?" ”
Whatever, as long as she doesn't have a relationship with Frederick, or the people around him, she doesn't bother to care.
"That's to prevent you from disturbing them, it's rare that Daddy is willing to walk in the garden with Mommy," Liana snorted, "and, seeing the Christmas dinner that she has worked so hard to prepare for you, shouldn't she come over and help?" ”
"If it was mom, I would be happy to help, if it was you...... God knows what you're going to make. Sean muttered.
He didn't dare to raise his voice too loudly, and as soon as he came back this time, Liana gave a dismount, not only counting him down hard, but also using his hands and feet together, pinching here and there. Sean initially defended and retorted, but as before, he quickly lost the battle before the speed of her machine gun and had to take a detour.
Well, for mom anyway. He said this comfortingly. As Liana said earlier, it was rare for Dad to hang out in the garden with Mom, so let them have more time to spare.
It's not that Dad hasn't done this before, it's just that under normal circumstances, Mom always cooks a few good dishes by herself, so naturally she won't have time to hang out with Dad. However, more than a week ago, my mother had a slight illness, and after a few days of recuperation in bed, she finally returned to normal before Christmas, so Liana suggested that her mother rest more and find a way for Christmas dinner.
Although no one believes in her cooking skills, Dad agrees to Liana's suggestion, and Sean also expresses his support on the phone, and Mom just agrees. However, Sean, who couldn't come back to visit his sick mother because of the filming of "Fast and Furious", was caught by Liana in the kitchen to help.
It doesn't matter, as long as it makes mom happy. Sean thinks so, but the problem is that it's not that easy to make mom happy.
"That girl, Jessica? Is Bell right? At dinner, Mom asked.
"Hmm...... Yes, Mom. Sean squeezed out a smile, he knew what his mother wanted to say, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything, so he could only deal with it very passively.
"Do you like her a lot?" Mom went on to ask, "I read the newspaper that this is the first time you've admitted to dating?" ”
"Also...... Yes, the main reason is that instead of letting the media guess, it is better to give them a clear answer. Sean said helplessly, and then secretly glared at Liana, who was almost smiling.
"Really?" Mom thought for a moment, and didn't seem to see his embarrassment, "Then when are you going to bring her home?" ”
"We're just getting started, Mom, we'll have to wait at least a year or so," Sean said reluctantly, "You know, Hollywood is a flashy vanity fair, and I face many **** every day, and I always have to understand all aspects of her clearly before I can think about the next step." ”
"You know Hollywood is Vanity Fair." Dad, who had not said much, snorted at this time.
Although Sean raised an eyebrow, he finally pretended not to hear, and continued to explain to his mother: "So, please don't worry, I'm only 23 years old." ”
"Okay." Mom was visibly disappointed, but she didn't say any more.
It could have ended here, but unfortunately some people like to tear down the stage, and Liana's voice interjected at this time: "By the way, Sean, that premiere tomorrow Christmas?" Will you take Jessica with you? ”
Sean immediately coughed dryly, then glared at her, as if to say: "I'm messing with me."
It's a pity that Mom's attention has been attracted: "What, you guys quarreled?" ”
Looking at Sean's appearance, he is obviously saying "no", but as a formal dating partner, he did not attend the premiere of his important work, so there must be some contradiction.
"Of course not, Mom," Sean said, "There's a reason for that......"
"Because of the black silk "Cold Mountain" that will be released tomorrow, Mom." Liana smiled and mended the knife next to her.
"Cold Mountain?" The mother thought about it for a while, and soon understood that the mother had always been well aware of her son's affairs.
So she showed a look of surprise: "Why, you were really talking to that before...... Nicole? Kidman dating? ”
It seemed that Mom seemed a little incredulous, and Dad also frowned to show surprise and dissatisfaction, and Liana, who was making trouble, was a little dumbfounded, she didn't seem to expect that her parents didn't believe that Sean would really have a relationship with a woman who was more than ten years older than him.
"It's just a momentary passion, Mom, you know, hormones are sometimes unreasonable." Sean glared at his sister fiercely, unabashedly, before explaining.
"Just hormones?" Father snorted coldly at the top, his gaze becoming more and more stern.
"It's okay, I don't expect you to believe it, for you, the news in the newspaper is obviously more reliable than what my son said." Sean immediately said sarcastically.
Of course he knows what he's humming, it's nothing more than what the tabloids say, that he is hyping himself up by dating big-name female celebrities and taking the opportunity to get into the position. doesn't believe his son, but believes the gossip, so it's no wonder Sean is so unkind.
Of course, he also knows that there are reasons for this phenomenon, and many of them are self-inflicted, but anger is just anger.
But as expected, Dad was not angry, and although his face sank, he did not say anything more. It's a bit strange, if it had been before, I would have been furious.
"Alright, Tony," Mom came out in time to play the round, "Sean is doing a great job now, isn't he?" ”
Then without waiting for Dad to speak, Mom turned to Sean again: "So, you did get along for a while, and then separated?" ”
Sean didn't answer directly, just shrugged his shoulders, which can be seen as a yes or a no, because ...... The relationship with Nicole is really hard to describe, and it is impossible to tell my parents.
"That's good, after all, ......" Mom laughed, and instead of continuing, she joked: "I don't think it will appear in the future, several girls want to come to you to ask you about this kind of thing, right?" ”
"Mom!" Sean immediately rolled his eyes, and Liana laughed.
However, he still smiled bitterly in his heart, it is really difficult to say that this situation will not appear in the future, and it may be more complicated, once Naomi has a child......
Although she had worked hard for more than half a year, Naomi's stomach didn't move at all, and both of them had been checked and there were no problems.
Well, it doesn't matter how hard you work, at least Sean has been busy since July, and has been busy until now, and then until July, August, September, and even October and November next year.
Yes, he agreed to Clooney's invitation, and as he said before, he couldn't refuse it unless he had to break with Clooney. Linus is an important role, and it is also a role that must be played, without him or someone else to play, the audience will definitely not buy it. If this causes the movie to lose money, it is equivalent to offending Clooney, even if Sean is not afraid now, it is undoubtedly very unwise to offend a well-connected big name like him for no reason.
Luckily, Clooney and Soderbergh had already figured out that there might be a situation where everyone had their own schedules and couldn't be staggered, so the filming was stretched for a long time, from February to September next year.
Sean, who talked about his worries and then got the news, was relieved, and there was no reason to refuse.
Even so, he's still busy next year, which is a tough challenge.
In short, although I work hard every time we meet, it is actually not very frequent, so I have to work hard if I want to have children.
Speaking of which, Sean couldn't help but think of another thing, Kate returned to Australia immediately after finishing the filming of "The Aviator", and if there is no accident, she will probably not return to Los Angeles until the Oscars, because ...... She was pregnant again. And, more importantly, the due date is in late April next year, which means that the pregnancy time is likely to be in July this year, although it should be fine after calculating the time, Sean always has a feeling of unease.
Well, aside, if you really want to pick one to take home, then Katie is undoubtedly the most suitable person. She's so cute, she's so intimidated by a horror movie she's starred in, and when she was watching it in the cinema, she got into his arms all the time - that's why a lot of boys like to take girls to horror movies.
In addition, she actually came to the door to ask the teacher, which made people cry and laugh, I really don't know what to say about her. Although she occasionally likes to love Xian, that little confusion can make up for it and make her more likable, and Jordana and Zoe are too individual.
And this can be regarded as a reward, without her coming to the door to ask for the crime because of "The Grudge", Sean couldn't make a decision for a while, maybe he might give up in the end. Although after that, Sean rewarded her deeply physically, but spiritually she also had to be talented,
But not now, Sean doesn't want to irritate her too much, before Katie originally planned to take Sean back to her house, but because the relationship was exposed, she denied the relationship to her parents in a panic. After that, although she waited for a while, she revealed to her parents after it subsided, Sean and Jessica began to have an affair again, so she had to give up again. Moreover, although Katie was a little confused, and Sean repeatedly told her that she was acting like Nicole at that time, she also began to suspect that Sean and Jessica had a substantial relationship, so she was not very comfortable all the time. At this time, I want to take her home again, but I can't go to her house because of the scandal on the surface, and the little confusion may also go crazy.
