King of Hollywood

The sun began to gradually set to the west, and the wonderful afternoon was passing. Sitting on the reef, Kate ran her fingers through her long hair blown by the cool sea breeze, and glanced at Lily who was still working on the beach castle. Adrian, who pouted and complained "Dad is useless", then smiled and walked towards the sea level in the sky.

She was wearing a white swimsuit. Although it was divided into upper and lower parts, it was more conservative than a bikini. The bottom was like a short skirt, and the top was tied in a knot at the chest. Even so, her graceful figure is still visible at a glance, especially those long legs, which are draped on the reef and make people imagine. Although she has officially entered the ranks of 30 years old today, she is still too beautiful.

"Is there anything to see on the horizon?" Adrian's voice rang in his ears.

"I just want to see how far I can see." Kate turned her head, smiled slightly, and then glanced behind him, Lily was slapping the sand with a small shovel with her back to her parents.

"He was driven here?" She laughed and came down from the rock.

"Yeah," Adrian said, and immediately showed a sullen expression. "The little guy thinks that I'm in the way, and he doesn't think about who built the foundation of the castle and half of the buildings."

At this point, when the topic changed, he suddenly smiled slyly: "But maybe she wants to create a little space for us, after all, we have been around her most of the time these few hours. Don't be a little Look at Lily, as you know, our daughter is a pretty bright little fellow."

"Really?" Kate chuckled. There is indescribable satisfaction between the brows.

"Of course, so..." Adrian said as he took out the one on his back, gently pinched a small white flower with three fingers, and then inserted the small white flower in Kate's slightly surprised expression. into the ends of her hair.

Watching his movements, feeling the touch of the flowers, a kind of inexplicable shyness suddenly came to my heart, just like... just like more than ten years ago, Adrian took her to the studio and played that song for her. The situation when she raises a gun and shoots in "Two Smoking Barrels". This made Kate involuntarily lower her head.

Adrian immediately reached out to lift her chin, and the other slid across her face, and finally held it up and kissed her moist lips. Kate slowly closed her eyes, slowly immersed in it with his rhythm, and stretched out her hands to wrap around his neck. The two stood beside the reef like this, kissing deeply again and again amidst the sound of crashing waves, and they separated after a long time of lingering.

"You love you, Ed." Kate whispered against Adrian's forehead, holding his face.

"Me too." Adrian grabbed her hand and responded with the same soft voice.

Then, both of them moved in their hearts, and looked aside together. Lily was standing not far away. Although her face was covered with her hands, her eyes were wide open between her fingers, and her mouth was grinning narrowly.

"Lily." Adrian yelled amusedly, "Don't pretend to be there, okay?"

"I don't have one." Lily put down her hand, stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, "Who made this place so wide, I can't even hide if I want to. Besides, my father and mother basically didn't shy away from me when they were making out. How can I do it now? Starting to feel inappropriate? This is clearly an excuse to discriminate against me."

finished. Before Adrian could react, the little guy giggled and slipped away quickly.

"If you don't pay attention, she has already reached this point, and she knows a lot of special words," Adrian said in an exclamation tone deliberately, "Look, this is our daughter."

Kate, who was already overjoyed, immediately burst out laughing.

"Why did you suddenly take me to Hawaii to celebrate?" She suddenly asked after laughing.

"Do you like it?" Adrian asked back.

"Well... not bad." Kate tilted her head and nodded after thinking about it.

"That's fine," Adrian spread his hands. However, facing Kate's eyes of "you must answer, you are not allowed to talk about him", he scratched his head and had to continue: "You know, DreamWorks released a "Pearl" in 2001. "Hong Kong", although it lost a lot, Michael Bay's pictures are still very good, especially the scenery of Hawaii. Blue sky, white clouds, beach style, and sponges in the sunset, so I was thinking, if you stand In that picture, it must be more beautiful, so I chose this time to bring you and Lily over for a holiday."

"That's it?" Kate blinked.

"That's it." Adrian spread his hands again.

Although she felt a little baffled, her intuition told Kate that this was true to a large extent, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"It's almost time, let's change clothes." Adrian said after looking at the sun.

"Change clothes?" Kate was puzzled, "There is still a lot of time before the sun goes down."

"Yes, I don't know, but, dear, don't forget, I have another gift for you." Adrian smiled slightly.

Kate froze for a moment, she almost forgot about this, this trip to Hawaii as a family of three made her very happy and satisfied, if Adrian hadn't reminded her, she might not remember it even when she went back.

"No need..." Kate said this, but before she finished speaking, Adrian called to her daughter in the distance: "Come here, Lily, we are about to start."

"It's finally about to start?" Lily ran back in surprise, and then cheered and applauded, "Great, great, I've wanted to see my mother for a long time..."

Although the little guy stuck out his tongue and swallowed the rest of the words under the threat of his father's eyes, he was very excited to take his mother's arm and go to the special cabin to change clothes. Kate was confused, and originally planned to get something out of her daughter's mouth while changing clothes, but the little guy shook his head like a rattle.

"No matter not. Dad said, must be kept secret. If I leak it, I will die." Lili said very seriously, and then immediately smiled and persuaded. It’s not a surprise, and it’s not long before the mystery is revealed.”

"Okay, okay." Kate had no choice but to stop asking, but in this way. Curiosity was hooked again because of this, what exactly did Adrian prepare?

After changing their clothes, except for the hut, the family immediately went to the rented villa by the sea. Although it is the peak tourist season, for Adrian, renting a villa and including the beach is a breeze. Before arriving at the villa, she saw a group of people busy in and out, Kate didn't care, she couldn't see what they were doing anyway. It wasn't until I went into the room to pour myself a glass of water and rested for a few minutes that I realized that something was wrong. Adrian and Lily were gone.

They were still there before entering the house, but after entering the house, the two made excuses and disappeared, and they haven't appeared until now. What did they do? Just when Kate was wondering. A middle-aged white woman in her forties walked in.

"Hello, Miss Beckinsale, I'm Shelley Firth." The other party immediately extended her hand, dressed in business attire, and looked quite capable. "I'm in charge of preparing what you need."

"Hello, Miss Fiers, may I ask... what are you talking about?" Kate shook hands with her in confusion.

"Sorry, according to Mr. Kewell's order, I can't disclose it to you," the other party showed a professional smile. "But you'll see it soon."

As she said that, she made a gesture of please. Although Kate didn't understand, she followed her to another room. This room is not big, and several women are arranging a mannequin rack inside, and a dress is hanging on the mannequin rack. As soon as Kate came in, her eyes were firmly attracted by the dress. Can't turn it around anymore, it's a wedding dress.

"Mr. Cowell commissioned us to design and produce a few months ago. We selected the best fabrics and designed several styles according to your body size..." Shelly introduced from the side, but Kate completely He wasn't listening, his gaze was always on this beautiful white wedding dress, and his heart trembled slightly.

Shelly, who noticed her emotions, also quickly finished the explanation, and then coughed softly: "Why don't you try it on, Miss Beckinsale."

"What the hell is this...?" Kate calmed down and asked in a slightly dry voice.

"Sorry, Miss Beckinsale, I can't reveal more, so please try first, Mr. Cowell is waiting for you." Shelley said.

"Okay." Kate closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

With the help of these women, she quickly put on the wedding dress, and then stood in front of the mirror. The look of looking forward to and looking at her is really indescribable, especially when the veil floated to cover her face. One-third of the time, that kind of elegance and nobility is enough to make anyone fascinated.

"You are so beautiful, Miss Beckinsale," Shelly also praised sincerely from the side, "Although this is your first try-on, it really fits you very well. Mr. Cowell's vision is indeed flawless. Humans can."

Hearing this name, Kate bit her lips involuntarily, and a throbbing spread from her chest. She once thought that she would never be able to wear a wedding dress in her life.

"Then... what's next?" Kate tried her best to ask calmly, suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out of her heart.

Shelly didn't speak, just smiled and made another gesture of invitation to the door.

Carrying the hem of the skirt through the corridor to the gate of the villa facing the street, a caravan was already waiting there, but Adrian and Lily were still missing. Kate didn't think too much about it, and got into the car directly, still relying on the driver to drive out.

It took about five minutes for the RV to stop in front of a small church. Even though she was mentally prepared, Kate's emotions were violently provoked. What exactly does this bastard want to do? !

The car door was opened, and an old man stood guard on the side of the street, smiling and reaching out his hand, Kate held his hand in a daze, and walked out of the RV with the hem of the wedding dress.

"I'll be in charge of sending you in, Miss Beckinsale." The old man bowed, his eyes were kind, and he looked like an elder. For a moment, Kate thought her father was standing here, waiting to send her daughter to the church. An indescribable feeling flooded into her heart, she could only bite her lip desperately. to keep things that roll in the eye from falling out.

Then, she saw Lily jumping out from the side, wearing a flower crown, holding a flower basket in her hand, wearing a white lace dress, dressed like a little angel, her eyes complete with crescent moons, and waving hello to her.

"Dear Miss Beckinsale, can I go in?" After handing the bouquet to his mother, the little guy immediately became serious.

"It's okay." Kate took a deep breath. Forced himself to remain calm again, he said in a slightly choked voice, and took the old man's arm.

The door of the church was opened, and the music started to play immediately, and the choir began to sing, but the seats were empty, and there were no male or female guests. Kate saw the neatly dressed priest on the altar at a glance, looking very holy. And the smiling Adrian in the groom's suit who went down a step.

Following Lily who sprinkled petals in front, Kate got closer and closer to him, and her chest heaved higher and higher. asshole! The bastard! To do such a thing! Is this fun? ! Although she kept cursing in a resentful tone in her heart, the more she felt like this, the more she felt that she was about to lose control of what was in her eyes.

Finally, he stood still in front of the altar and the priest. Music and singing also came to an end at this moment.

"Today, we will be here to witness..." The priest began his speech. Obviously, this is a real Protestant serving priest, not an invited actor. But because there were no guests, he skipped the previous paragraph. After a few words the marriage vows began.

"Groom, are you willing to marry the lady in front of you as your wife? Whether in good times or bad times, rich or poor, sick or healthy, you will always be with her and never leave her. Love and cherish each other until death takes you separate."

"I am willing." Adrian looked at Kate and replied with a sincere tone.

"Bride, are you willing to marry the man in front of you as his wife? Whether in good times or bad times, rich or poor, sick or healthy, you will always be with him and never leave him. Love and cherish each other until death. You separate."

"I..." Kate's lips began to visibly tremble, she stared at Adrian with a bit of hatred, but with indescribable nostalgia, so contradictory yet so agreed.

"I am willing!" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them and continued to look at Adrian with a look that wanted to bite, and gritted her teeth.

"Since you have made a promise of love, then give the symbol of your love to the person you love." The priest who saw it didn't care at all, and continued to speak.

Then, Lily jumped up and down in front of them, and handed the two opened boxes to Mom and Dad. Kate could tell at a glance that the box in Adrian's hand was the diamond ring he gave her a few years ago, which she had always worn, even though it was always on her index finger. After arriving in Hawaii yesterday, she put away the ring, but she couldn't find it today. Adrian kept saying "don't worry, I'll look for it when I come back", so it was premeditated.

Similarly, she also saw that the ring in her hand was given to him as a birthday present by herself a few years ago. Of course, he never wore a ring, so it basically didn't appear on his finger, and unexpectedly kept it well.

asshole! When exchanging rings, Kate finally couldn't help making such a mouth shape to Adrian, but when he put the ring on his ring finger, there was an indescribably excited smile on his face. .

"Now, you can kiss your bride." Following the priest's words, the two kissed together, but instead of Adrian kissing Kate, Kate threw herself into Adrian's arms.

They kissed right in front of the altar, kissing passionately, just like real newlyweds.

"Sorry, honey, you know, this is the only thing I can't give you," Adrian said with a soft sigh as he stroked Kate's face after parting his lips, "So I can only make a formality, but, Although there is no guarantee that you are the only one, at least you are the first."

As soon as the words fell, Kate threw out the bouquet in her hand, kissed him again actively, and the music played again. Lily, who was next to her mother's bouquet, sat on the guest table and giggled and clapped her little hands. Gotta crackle.

"Thank you, Father Wells, you have done me a great favor, thank you very much." After this simple but grand wedding, Adrian said, holding the priest's hand.

"You're welcome, Mr. Cowell, may God guide you, and hope that you can become a real couple one day." Father Wells smiled. Although he is not a famous clergyman, he is well-known in this area as a good old man , definitely not the guy who likes to play with little boys.

So, when Adrian came to the door and hoped that he could help preside over a wedding that was not a wedding, and specially packaged the story of himself and Kate with a lot of tongue, in short, it was the complicated and entangled relationship between him and her. I'm sorry for her But they couldn't promise her marriage. Both of them are well-known figures in Hollywood. There was no way, so they wanted to use this form to make up for it. Therefore, even though this kind of behavior violated the doctrine, Father Wells agreed because of the sincerity of the other party and the promise to donate a sum of money to repair the church and improve the medical level in this area.

But he didn't know that once some things started, it was not easy to stop. After Kate, Adrian soon brought new women here to hold the ceremony, and all of them were well-known women in Hollywood—Father Wells had seen a lot of movies.

Once, twice, three times, four times... The old priest finally couldn't sit still, and after another ceremony, he pulled Adrian and asked, "How many times do you want to come?"

"It depends," Adrian replied after thinking for a while, "maybe three or four more times, maybe seven or eight more times."

The old priest was stunned for a while, and then showed a nervous look: "You won't silence me, will you?" (To be continued)
