Hollywood Rhapsody

Chapter 230 I am Noah's father

"Why hasn't Uncle Ian come yet?" Noah looked at the children's watch on his wrist. Unexpectedly, Uncle Ian, who was always punctual, was late today!

"Maybe there's a traffic jam? Maybe I talked too late with that uncle named Charles yesterday, so Uncle Ian is in bed too!" Sarah rubbed the top of her son's hair, also surprised, Ian and the word "late" seem to be There will never be an intersection.

"Hey hey, Uncle Ian's ass was exposed to the sun!" Little Noah covered his mouth and snickered, shrugging his little shoulders.

However, in the next second, a helpless cough caused the little guy to put away these small movements immediately. Sarah and her son looked back together, and saw Ian standing at the gate of the courtyard, with a suit jacket on his arm, looking at him with a smile. Looking at their mother and son.

"Sorry, it's late to prepare some documents temporarily." Ian squatted down and looked at the little Noah, pinched the little guy's face, and explained concisely.After little Noah nodded to express his understanding, he raised his eyes and looked at Sarah who was sitting aside, "There are some things, let's talk about them later, how about?"

"Um...Of course." Sarah was stunned for a second, and the first reaction in her mind was the conversation with Leonardo earlier.What are you going to talk about?In Ian's usual style, he would bring up the topic at the very beginning, company project?Mergers and acquisitions?operation?He would always let Sarah understand the problem to be solved next in a concise and concise manner, instead of such an ambiguous sentence of "something".

Because the conversation with Ian was hanging in her mind, Sarah was a little absent-minded when she accompanied Noah to sign the little guy's first acting contract in his life. When everything was settled, little Noah happily hugged his script to find his grandfather Showing off, Sarah finally took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the study and made a "please" gesture to Ian.

Ian looked at the woman sitting behind the desk, and didn't immediately get into the subject of the conversation, but stared at it for a long time, as if admiring the most beautiful stunner in Hollywood, and seemed to be hesitating whether to speak.This kind of silence made Sarah, who was already nervous, even more uneasy. She retracted her hands from the table to her knees, and under the cover of the desk, her ten fingers had already condensed into twists.

"Are you... nervous?" Ian raised his brows slightly and laughed lowly, as if he was pleased by Sarah's uneasiness, "If possible, I really want to just sit with you for an afternoon. It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone like this.”

"Could it be that what you mean by 'something' is just looking at me and giggling?" Sarah frowned, her chin raised with a sense of strength, as expected, she hadn't been alone with Ian for a long time, and she even forgot to get along with him all the time Mode, she is the Queen, and he is the loyal Chancellor of the Exchequer, so she has to look down on each other!Undisputed Overlook!When facing Ian, first of all, the momentum cannot be lost, otherwise the initiative of the conversation will be completely lost!

However, this conversation was obviously special. When Ian pushed a document in front of Sarah as usual, the familiar rhythm was completely disrupted.

"Paternity test? This is... when did you..." Sarah stared at the thin paper, opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't utter any more syllables for a long time.

"Is it surprising? I thought you had noticed it a long time ago. After all, you are such a smart woman. When Michael Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein both saw it, you couldn't be so dull that you didn't even have any doubts." ?” Ian looked at Sarah playfully, appreciating every change in her expression.

For so many years, so many days and nights, his eyes have been following her, whether it is a living person, or an image in a movie or a magazine, he is familiar with all her emotions, as long as a slight expression, he can know Whether she is happy or troubled.But now, the woman in front of him showed an expression he had never seen before. Her emotions were not because of anyone else, not because of the company, and not because of Leonardo DiCaprio, but because of him!The first time I was so excited because of him Ian Mellon...

"I have hesitated countless times whether to reveal this secret, and I have imagined countless times what it will be like when we meet honestly." Ian's voice was soft, with a hint of sadness hidden, which was also his Emotions that have never been expressed to outsiders.He endured it for too long, suppressed it for too long, and even a sigh seemed to contain endless emotions. He wanted to tell about his struggles and feelings for these years, but in the end, facing the woman he had admired for a long time, he said What came out was a soft sound, like a sigh... "I'm sorry"

"Why? Why show me this now?" Sarah didn't care about the complicated emotions in Ian's heart. She only cared about the paternity test in front of her at the moment, and only cared about Ian's intentions. To put it bluntly, why do you want to reveal everything now? Ian, do you want to recognize Noah?"

Sarah's nervousness was fully displayed in Ian's eyes, and at the same time there was the most obvious rejection and defense, which made Ian feel depressed. This woman had never been gentle to him, even if she faced Leonardo ten times. One part seems to be a luxury for him.In this case, in this case...

"Why can't I recognize Noah? I am Noah's biological father!"

There is no need to argue, because this is a fact that cannot be changed and cannot be avoided. When this layer of window paper is pierced, all pretending to be stupid must come to an end.

"You want to take Noah away? Are you? If you didn't want to take him away from me, you wouldn't suddenly come to the door with a paternity test." Sarah grabbed the thin paper and stared at Iraq. Well, at this moment, she is not facing the most tacit cooperation partner in her career, but the most terrifying enemy. As long as Ian nods, she can fight immediately.

However, Ian was always able to easily avoid her firepower. Instead of fighting forcefully, he spread his hands with a wry smile, like a prisoner who dropped his weapon and gave up resistance: "I just want to hear him...call me 'Daddy'. "

This is such a humble request, which made Sarah's swords drawn and instantly lost its lethality. She didn't want to pay attention to this damn request. However, she has no right to prevent the two fathers and sons from recognizing each other. Even if they sue to the court, she will have no dispute lost the case.

"But what about after meeting each other?" Sarah was dazed for only a second. Ian's humbleness and weakness aroused her feelings of guilt. She is an evil witch who prevented the father and son from meeting each other!But soon, her gaze locked on Ian's handsome face, and she saw those eyes that were still calm. There was longing and sadness in them, but she was still familiar with the calmness, "Ian, put your thoughts in your hands." Speak up! We already know each other, your psychological offensive will not work in front of me. And you should also know my style of operation, I will not make any decisions until I understand all potential risks .”

"It's... a headache!" Ian sighed long, but he wasn't surprised that Sarah would have such a stubborn reaction. He rubbed his temples, his face was pale due to severe lack of sleep, but It does not affect his subsequent negotiations, although he extremely dislikes using this method of dealing with business competitors to confront the woman in front of him: "Does it have to be so smart? Sarah, a woman who is too shrewd is not cute."

"But stupid girls with no brains often become losers, and they are likely to be fooled and lose everything and count the money for the bastard who plotted her." Sarah sat back in the chair again, and the rhythm of this confrontation made her feel a lot more at ease. At least it was easier to resist than Ian who begged her just to hear "Dad", at least, she thought so at the moment.

Her eyes fell on Ian's briefcase: "What's in it? The reason why you were late this morning can't be just a paternity test obtained a few years ago!"

"Well, smart as you." Ian smiled with downcast eyes. He gave Sarah an appreciative look, opened the briefcase obediently, reached into the bag, and took out a file bag that didn't look light. Instead of opening it immediately, she gave Sarah one last chance to go back on her word, "Are you really sure you want to be so open and honest? Honey, I don't know where our relationship will go after opening it...well... maybe it will be bad .”

"I think it's a bad situation to have a guy around who is trying to take my son away. Instead of letting me spend my days thinking about whether you will take Noah away, it's better to rule out all the worst possibilities." Sarah still didn't change her mind, "It's like walking in a minefield. I would rather speed up and run over at the risk of being blown up than move forward a little bit tremblingly."

"Okay! Since this is your request." Ian patted his palm on the file bag and shook his head helplessly, "You know I've always been reluctant to say 'NO' to you."

His fingers slowly twirled the thread used to fix the file bag, as if unraveling the myths that had plagued him for many years, and also unraveling the feelings he had poured into Sarah these years.And as the file bag opened, he also let out a long breath, as if opening it required great determination.

"That's right, Noah's 'Dad' is not the only thing I long for. Your vigilance is correct, because I have made the decision to raise Noah since I took out the paternity test." Ian said frankly Admitting, while putting a share transfer letter in front of Sarah, "My original plan was to test your tone in this conversation, and first achieve the purpose of getting Noah to recognize me. The little guy has always liked me. , he is also eager to have a father, so I am not worried that he will reject me."

"First of all?" Sarah just glanced at the title of the share transfer letter, crossed her hands and was not interested in taking another look, but pointed out the key words that she cared most about in Ian's words.

"Yeah, I used the word 'first'." Ian went on to confess kindly, "I'm going to take a while for Noah to get used to my new identity, when you're busy with the film and you're busy with DiCaprio. When Mr. is in love and can't extricate himself, give Noah more love. I know your upcoming schedule. The shooting of three movies will take up more than 80% of your energy, just like many days when you were out filming Days and nights, I will have a lot of time to make Noah realize how blessed it is to have a father who is always by his side."

Sarah snorted, obviously dissatisfied with Ian's "child-seizing plan", but she was guilty for a moment, because she knew that she would indeed be busy with filming next, leaving little Noah by Arthur's side, Therefore, Ian's plan is absolutely feasible.

Ian, who knows Sarah very well, of course noticed this subtle emotional change, but he just smiled and didn't point it out, but continued to introduce his plan to seize the child: "If you happen to be with Mr. DiCaprio during this period Conceived... ah... the crystallization of love... the new little life will leap to No. 1 in this family, and my Noah will be ignored, left out, and sad..."

"How could I neglect Noah..." Sarah frowned, subconsciously retorting.

But Ian raised his palm to stop him: "Don't be angry and refute, because this is unavoidable human nature. From the moment you get pregnant, little Noah will have a sense of crisis of being replaced. In fact, he had already secretly asked I told you, if you and Mr. DiCaprio have a baby, will you stop loving him from now on? When I looked at my sensible and worried little son, I had a strong urge to take him away. Sarah , Remember the day you just returned to Los Angeles? Didn’t you feel sad when he seriously negotiated with Mr. DiCaprio? Let your young son have a sense of crisis that his mother is about to be snatched away, you Don't you feel guilty?"

Sarah opened her mouth, but couldn't explain.She is now by Noah's side every day, and it is precisely because of this guilt in her heart that she blames herself very much when she thinks of the little boy who solemnly asked Leonardo to return his mother that day.

"So, if there is no accident, I will seize this opportunity and propose to take care of Noah on my behalf, and then..." Ian clicked the share transfer document on the table, "This is a time-consuming but gentle enough custody Excessive, with generous financial compensation, and you have nothing to lose."

"Too gentle? This plan to boil frogs in warm water is really gentle enough." Sarah twitched her mouth and threw the share transfer letter back to Ian in disgust, "But you overlooked one point, I don't Lack of money, let alone exchange Noah for these dispensable wealth."

"Then, I can only use some ungentle methods." Ian reached out to the file bag again and threw the second material to Sarah, "I can choose to work with Harvey and Michael to empty you, no matter what they think How close they are to you, they are still businessmen at heart, so believe me, I have enough bait and means to pull those two old guys into the camp. I will take the wealth you have bit by bit, and watch the wealth Evaporation is a particularly painful ordeal for someone who was once wealthy."

To this threat, Sarah only responded with a dismissive sneer. She is an Oscar queen who is popular all over the world. money!Financial threats do not scare her.

However, Ian also seemed to know this. He sighed again and said in a low voice: "I should have expected that today's conversation would be very unpleasant. You are a very tough and stubborn girl. But think about the future of these assumptions. It may become a reality, and I think it’s a better choice to tell you about them one by one, at least it won’t cause you substantial harm. For example, when I can’t get Noah’s custody, and When you are still obstinate, will I mobilize all my contacts and even use the power of my family to snipe you and Mr. DiCaprio and pull you from the star-studded altar into the quagmire? Hollywood superstars are very beautiful, you and Dika Mr. Prio's status seems rock-solid, but believe me, in the face of enough power, even an international superstar is nothing more than an ant."

"What's more, there are dirty methods like creating scandals and making you addicted to drugs, low cost and high return...Of course, I don't bother to ruin the woman I once loved in such a boring way. There is no psycho-perversion to that level..." Ian shrugged, and under such circumstances, he was in the mood to joke, but there was a bit of self-mockery and bitterness in his smile.

His previous threats had sounded like bluff, and Sarah was patient to see how big a net he could pull, but she wasn't intimidated.But when Ian took out a stack of materials from the file bag again, what he said made Sarah's already relaxed shoulders tense again, and even her pupils shrank.I saw him throwing an extremely complicated mathematical analysis model, with a newspaper clipping attached: "Why can a teenage girl complete these accurate box office predictions? When I was studying mathematics at Harvard, I couldn't figure it out. Even spent a lot of money to form a team, and purchased a large number of movie box office data from previous years as a reference for building a prediction model, but in the end the efforts of the entire team were still not as good as that girl's little brain."

"When I got in touch with Hollywood and learned about the behind-the-scenes operation of the Oscars, I found that as long as I have enough energy, the awards can really be considered to be manipulated." Under Sarah's already pale face, Ian threw a puzzlement "But I really can't figure out how the little girl who didn't have any network resources completed the prediction of "Titanic" sweeping the Oscars? Is it really because I like that movie too much and I am too obsessed with Leonor?" There are too many people to make such a blind prediction? Maybe this statement is okay to deceive other people, but for me, who prefers Yan Jin's reasoning, it is too far-fetched."

Sarah's fingers were picking at the corner of the leather chair, her eyes were downcast, and she didn't want Ian to see her nervousness. In fact, her emotion at this time was enough to be described as panic. This man, this man, was speaking slowly and eloquently in front of her. The man I was talking about, what on earth is he talking about so much!

"Do you know why I am the only one who still remembers these questions? Out of the protection of my son's biological mother and to satisfy my personal strong curiosity, I used my greatest energy to repair and cover up your mistakes. I don't want Others noticed you were unusual, and I myself wondered what the secrets of this girl who always surprised me were, I walked into your life in the process of exploring, and... couldn't help it... Falling in love with you, falling in love with a girl I don't even know where she came from." Ian slowed down his speech and came to Sarah.

Sarah couldn't help shivering when Ian approached. Her mouth was a little dry, and her eyes kept wandering in a panic, like a tortoise whose hard shell was suddenly taken away. It wanted to shrink into a ball but had nowhere to go. dodge.And Ian's question after question made her dizzy, making her more at a loss than any entertainment reporter's difficulties, even if the sex-love-video-tape between her and Leonardo came out one day. It doesn't get any worse than this moment.And when all her sophistry was still spinning on the tip of her tongue, a recording suddenly sounded, like a sharp claw strangling her throat——

"No, I want your exact location. Where are you now? The World Trade Center?" It was a phone call from many years ago, and the anxious voice was so familiar, "Come down! Come out of that building, now ! Immediately! There... I'm downstairs..."

The recording is short, but after the short recording, there is a suffocating silence for a long time.

Ian propped his hands on the armrests of the chair, leaning over to look at the woman huddled in the leather chair.The broken hair on his forehead even fell to Sarah's eyes, and his breath made Sarah's hair tremble slightly. He just stared at the woman he had admired for many years, watched her nervousness, watched her flustered, Seeing him trapped in his arms, it took him a long time to ask in a low voice like a whisper: "Who are you? My dear Sarah, my dear stranger..."
