The Young Lion

After Aldridge arrived in New York, USA, Barnett came to meet him in person and sat in the extended Lincoln. Aldridge stayed up all night but was still energetic, and he had a long talk with Barnett. If the topic is not open, he will soon become Father's joy.

Barnett was frightened by him and kept reminding him to be calm. He was a father and he could understand the joy of Aldridge, but he could not understand the excitement of the other party beyond the ordinary range.

Of course he couldn’t understand it. Aldrich is actually a “old son”. He has lived for more than forty years before he had his own children. It’s not that he was so unsatisfactory before, but only in strange It was only after the sudden shock of joy that he became more excited.

Barnett invited Aldridge to stay in his American mansion. Aldrich disagreed. He couldn’t wait to see Melanie. Barnett called the driver to drive him to Melanie’s hotel.

When Aldridge entered the hotel and came to Melanie's room, he faced Melanie who opened the door for him and suddenly became very calm.

Melanie, dressed in casual clothes, looked at him with a slight squint at the corner of his mouth, waiting for him to rush over and hug himself, but Aldridge walked into the room, gently closed the door, and turned to look tenderly Stare at Melanie.

"Damn, Aldridge, what are you waiting for? Hurry, hug me!"

Melanie rushed over and threw himself into his arms, hugging each other tightly.

Aldridge also hugged her, but carefully.

"Be careful, be careful..."

He gently pressed her back to prevent her from making large movements.

Melanie grabbed his face and smiled repeatedly: "I don't feel anything if I'm nervous about you. If it wasn't for the recent official holiday, who knew she would be pregnant."

"Even if you didn't know it before, now that you know it, you need to be careful."

Aldridge let go of her, took her hand to the bed and sat down.

Melanie saw the bloodshot eyes in his eyes and asked distressedly: "Did you not rest?"

Aldridge smiled: "Can't sleep."

"Then sleep now! Must!"

Melanie took off his clothes with his own hands, and then let him lie down in the bed. He also took off his coat and drilled into the bed in underwear, leaning on his shoulders, resting one hand on his chest, laughing: "Let you sleep better."

Aldrich sniffed her fragrance and closed her eyes contentedly. It was really tired, and he spoke to Melanie more and more before his consciousness became blurred.

"I think of the child's name. The boy is named Burt and the girl is Bonnie."

"Bert, Bonnie, a nice name."

Two names that Melanie let him think about, Aldridge completed the task.

She thought about it, Burt, symbolizing brilliance and glory, Bonnie, symbolizing grace and kindness.

"I wish our children could be as famous as you are. Aldridge, the wise ruler, Hall, heroic glory, Aldridge Hall, huh, wise and glorious hero ruler."

"This is the best wishes parents have for their children..."

Aldridge fell asleep, Melanie stared at his face with his chin up close, closed his eyes and kissed gently, then closed his eyes and lay peacefully in his arms.

When Aldridge woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that the sky was dark outside the room window, and the clock on the wall in the room showed that it was 11pm.

Melanie was staying in a suite. In addition to the bedroom, there was also a living room outside. She was watching TV in the living room at a low volume.

Aldridge was in a hurry this time. Apart from the documents, he didn't even bring the clothes that he changed. So he got up and put on his suit again, but he didn't tidy up.

He went to the living room, Melanie turned her head and smiled, "Wake you up?"

If you don’t walk into the living room and hardly hear the sound from the TV, Aldridge walks over and leans over to kiss her, and then sits down next to her, Melanie calls the hotel to deliver the meal.

He had prepared the waiter to prepare hearty food before, and waited for Aldridge to wake up and bring it in.

The two enjoyed a meal in the living room, and halfway through the meal, Aldridge suddenly said, "Let's get married."

Melanie froze, and Aldridge continued, "You go back to London and we buy a new house, or live in the eastern suburbs. Although it is a little far from where I work, it doesn't matter."

Melanie recovered her expression from the surprise and frowned: "Audric, what are you talking about?"

Aldridge laughed: "I'm talking about us, we get married, of course we have to live together, and there will be a child soon, we're going to raise children together, don't we?"

Melanie asked, "What about my work? What about my career?"

Aldridge took it for granted: "Halley has decided to quit, and the other members of the Spice Girls, Victoria also wants to quit? If it was not for Beckham to be a sinner in England in France, they should all be married now. Your career It has achieved brilliance, and now, I think it is a good time for people to enter a new stage."

Melanie shook her head when she heard the words, "You mean let me be a housewife? Aldridge, I can't influence others' thoughts. Haliver wants to quit, it's her choice, if Victoria wants to marry It’s her choice to be a full-time wife after giving Beckham. I haven’t been satisfied yet. From the debut till now, my career has only started for three or four years. That’s right, the babes have been successful. Crisis, but it does not mean that my career is also over. Without other members, I think I can also succeed."

Aldridge also frowned slightly and said softly: "I'm not wondering if you can succeed if you break away from the hot girl group, I just think that we are together and form a complete family, at least we should live together, and have children in the case of."

"I don't think that having children will affect the fact that we are together."

"But I need you by my side and my children to see my mother at home every day, and if you continue your current career, you will definitely not be able to take care of the family most of the time."

Melanie and Aldridge had a violent quarrel, the two of you came and went, and they did not give in to words.

"Having a child doesn't mean you need to stay at home 24 hours a day! Many couples or couples come here like this, I don't think this is a problem!"

"No, you don’t understand me. I need a complete family. There is me, you, and children. Let me go home after work. I can see my wife and children. I can sit together at the dinner table and talk. Any topic in life, not the feeling that lovers are always in love."

Aldridge stood up and said loudly, his face very serious.

Melanie also stood up and said: "You have a career, I also have a career, why do you let me give up? Why didn't you give up work to accompany me?"

Aldridge was speechless.

Yeah, why did he ask Melanie to give up her career to fulfill his desires?

Having lived in Europe for more than ten years, Aldrich thoroughly experienced the difference between Eastern and Western concepts at this moment.

He is somewhat conservative in the concept of family. He believes that a family should be a man who works hard outside. When conditions permit, a woman stays at home, especially if there are children.

The atmosphere in the living room became tense. The two did not speak or even looked at each other. Melanie turned her head to look away, while Aldridge bowed her head slightly with her arms akimbo and one hand.

He was obviously thinking.

But his thinking panicked Melanie.

Aldridge is not the kind of person who will make a fuss about unreasonably. After getting along for so many years, she knows this man.

His thinking must be a choice.

He is a stubborn person, especially when a person desires something, the power of desire will make the attitude very firm.

Melanie felt aggrieved, her tears dim, and used the woman's most normal reaction to break this depressing silence.

complain.

"Aldrich, I love you, and you love me too, but you said you wanted to marry me, but you didn’t even have a proposal ring. I said it lightly, I don’t ask you to give me much romance, at least it should be formal Propose marriage?"

She spoke about the marriage, just to remind Aldridge where the relationship between the two was a realistic step.

Aldrich raised his head and said calmly, "Marry? I don't know, if our state has not changed before and after marriage, what is the point of getting married? Just now I was wrong, I should not take it for granted You give up your career, but if we can’t agree on this matter, I don’t think things will go in the direction we are expecting. Melanie, please consider my request carefully, I know, let you start from singer Mei Lanny Chisholm becomes Melanie Hall, it is for you to make some sacrifices..."

Before Aldridge’s words were finished, Melanie shook her head with tears: “No, I don’t, you have spent so many years studying, traveling all over Europe, and asking for various football academies. What about me? My contribution before becoming famous is also at the expense of sweat every day! You can’t give up easily, why can I? Aldrich, we can not get married, but we can stay in our current state, even if we have children, There will be too much impact, we can ask the babysitter and let the elders help take care..."

"But this is not what I want. My job is different from yours. You are in Berlin today, and tomorrow in Paris. You can enjoy different scenery after work, but me? Most of the year is the training ground, the competition ground, Club, I need to give me more elements of life in my life, I need to go home at the end of work with enthusiasm, knowing that someone is waiting for me at home, I can see the figure of my wife, I can see the face of the child, it can make me Forget all the tiredness and feel the fullness of life! This is what I want, can you give me? Can you?"

Aldridge's tone was soft, more like a request.

But Melanie was silent, her tears slipping down her face.

Aldridge has already got the answer.

He lowered his head and laughed at himself.

Thinking too naively.

Sometimes love and life are two different things.

He walked back to the bedroom and put on leather shoes, and came to Melanie's side when he walked to the living room, trying to wipe the tears from her face, but Melanie's extended hand was opened directly by Melanie.

"take care of yourself."

"What do you mean? Break up?"

Melanie turned her head to look into his eyes.

Aldrich said softly: "I just hope you can calmly think about it for a while."

"No need!"

Aldridge took a deep look at her, then walked to the door, opened the door, and went out.
