I’m in Hollywood

Feeling Eric's movement, Caroline's long eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes carefully, and looked at Eric boldly for a second, her small hand stretched out and grabbed Eric's big hand, Rubbing against his cheek, he whispered, Eric, I, I like you.

I know, Eric said in a gentle tone, without withdrawing his hand, feeling the delicate skin of the girl, and said, Hey, the weather is good tonight, I'll take you for a drag race, okay? Let's go back to Los Angeles at night. Or, alternatively, Las Vegas.

Caroline paused, opened her eyes again, looked at Eric resentfully, still held his hand, and shrank silently into the quilt.

After a stalemate for a while, Eric had to coax again softly: Carly, I actually like you very much too, but we can't do that.

After another brief silence, Caroline finally raised her face and whispered, Eric, I'm twenty-seven years old.

Feeling that the girl no longer held his hand tightly, Eric pulled his hand back, touched Caroline's soft blonde hair, and said with a smile: Yeah, time flies so fast, but little Carly is still So small. Maybe, you should also find a... well, a girlfriend, I prefer you to find a girlfriend, girls are more considerate.

Hearing Eric say this, Caroline quickly blinked her eyes a few times, the corners of her mouth curved, and she hugged Eric's big hand back, resting her small head on his arm, and said in a low voice, Eric, You are so bad.

Eric nodded and defended himself: Actually, it's not that bad. I'm a gentleman now.

You, Caroline paused, avoiding Eric's eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, I, just said, I'm twenty-seven years old. You, you can't treat me as a daughter.

Eric was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile: Why do you have such a strange idea?

I……

Caroline wanted to say something, but just spit out a word, but she could no longer find a suitable explanation. After all, Melanie helped her 'analyze' this matter.

Eric also realized something and smiled: It seems that I must punish Mei well this time.

You wouldn't, Caroline responded, and added, Then, if you didn't treat me...why would you be so kind to me?

Because I treat you as my sister, brother cares about my sister, what's wrong?

Caroline turned her head around and felt that this reason was very reasonable, so she stopped worrying about the thought that was buried in her heart by Melanie, and then the girl's thoughts turned to tonight's matter again, thinking for a while , she blushed, took Eric's hand, and carefully wanted to send it to her chest.

Eric felt the girl's intention, and struggled a little, and easily got rid of Caroline's little hand.

The situation in the room fell silent again. Facing Eric's rejection, Caroline slowly retracted her body into the bed.

Eric sat on the edge of the bed and watched the girl's movements awkwardly. Seeing that she hadn't moved for a while, he reached out and pulled some quilts with some worry. Caroline was curled up like a kitten, her small face was full of tears. Although she didn't cry, big tears kept overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

Carly, actually, I like you very much too, Eric took out a few tissues from the tissue box at the bedside, and helped Caroline to wipe her tears, and explained in a low voice, But we really can't do this. Do.

Caroline still didn't cry, and quietly let Eric wipe her tears. Then he asked in a low voice, with a little more choking in his voice: Why, why? You, obviously, like it very much, a woman's.

Eric said: I just said that I treat you as my sister.

Caroline's voice was still soft, but this time she immediately retorted: I don't want, don't be your sister.

After saying this, the girl finally couldn't hold back her sobbing, the tears became more turbulent, and she turned to avoid Eric's hand to wipe her tears.

Looking at Caroline's small body shaking slightly as she sobbed, Eric sighed again. After a short hesitation, he got up and found his cell phone, sat back on the bed, and dialed it slowly for a long time. string number.

After asking Katzenberg to help with the DNA identification, Eric couldn't hold back his curiosity and secretly commissioned a private detective to inquire about a woman's information. He originally thought that he would slowly forget this matter in his heart. , I didn't expect to face these today.

The room was very quiet, and although her back was to Eric, Caroline could still clearly hear a clear beep coming from the phone's microphone, and then a female voice answered with some doubts: Hello, this is Austria. Livia, who are you?

Hearing her aunt's familiar voice, Caroline stopped her sobbing, thinking that she should be in a state of 'angry' with Eric, so she resisted and didn't turn around.

After all, he inherited all the memories of this body, and Eric still had some strange emotions in his heart, and after a light breath, he said, I am Eric Williams, and Carly is next to me. , give her an explanation.

After speaking in one breath, Eric directly handed the phone to Caroline, got up and walked out of his suite, and walked along the hotel corridor to the terrace at the end of the second floor.

I don't know who put a chair here, Eric didn't think about it, he sat up and stared at the dark mountains in the distance under the faint starlight.

Perhaps it is because of the two lifetimes, Eric always has a natural alienation and indifference to the world in his bones. This is probably because he has had many women after his rebirth, but there are not many women who stay by his side now. for the sake of. He didn't care much from the beginning about opening up his relationship with Caroline and a few others, he just didn't want too many people interfering in his life.

But now, maybe, probably, suddenly there is a little cousin, it should be not bad.

Wearing a bathrobe and unable to find a single cigarette, Eric sat for a while, confirming that the call just now should be almost over, then got up and walked towards his room.

When I came to the door, I remembered that I forgot to take the room card when I just came out. I raised my hand to knock on the door. After thinking about it, I went to the door of Melanie and Caroline next to me. The two women are responsible for his daily life. , also has a spare room card in hand.

Just knocked twice and the door was pulled open.

Melanie thought Caroline was back, and when she saw Eric standing at the door wearing a bathrobe, she shrank her neck and said with a guilty conscience, Ai, Eric, what's the matter?

Eric reached out: Give me the room card.

Huh? Oh! Melanie hurriedly took out a room card from her pocket and put it in Eric's hand. She was about to summon the courage to ask, but Eric just threw it to her and found you when she was free. With a look of reckoning, he turned and walked away.

Opening the door, he walked into the bedroom lightly, but Eric found that Caroline was still lying on his bed, and she didn't hang up her phone either.

Seeing Eric appearing at the door, Caroline whispered: Aunt, he's back, then, I'll hang up first... Well, bye.

After Caroline hung up the phone and put it aside, Eric came over, sat down beside the bed, and looked at the girl still huddled in the quilt, but didn't speak first.

Caroline also looked at Eric with bright eyes. After a while, the girl seemed to gather up her courage, got out of the quilt and leaned over.

Eric was a little stunned, and his body was a little stiff when he saw the girl in only a small coat snuggling up.

This expansion doesn't seem right.

Did the woman not tell her the truth.

Looking left and right, Eric leaned slightly, pulled up the quilt to wrap Caroline's body, and said, She, what did your aunt tell you?

Caroline let Eric wrap herself with the quilt, and said softly, Auntie asked me to apologize to you for her. She also asked, can I come to Los Angeles to see you?

Eric didn't care about these, and asked, What else?

Caroline's little courage seemed to stop at Eric, but she didn't dare to make too many moves, she just held his arm carefully, blinked her eyes, and said, I, I didn't expect that. , you will be my cousin, no wonder you are so kind to me. Also, you all treat me as a child and don't tell me anything.

At the end, Caroline's tone was a little more coquettish and resentful.

Still feeling that something was wrong, Eric gently moved the arm held by Caroline and said, Then do you know what you are doing now?

Yeah. Caroline nodded lightly, following Eric's movements, she moved shyly, but did not let go of him.

Well, Carly, don't you think you should go back to your room now?

I don't want to go back.

But, I, am I your cousin?

Caroline asked softly: So what?

...

Eric suddenly found that he was a little speechless.

Feeling overwhelmed by Eric, Caroline quickly said: Eric, my aunt wants me to marry you, but I know you definitely don't want to, I'll just stay by your side, okay?

Um, okay, eh? What did you just say?

From Eric's reaction before calling her aunt's phone, Caroline naturally knew his scruples. Seeing Eric's now helpless appearance, the girl whispered: In the UK, cousins ​​can also get married, The Queen and the Queen are cousins.

Eric retorted: But this is California.

Caroline blinked and said, California, it seems to be okay.

...

I hadn't noticed this information before, Eric's three views were suddenly refreshed, and a series of complaints flashed in his mind.

This evil capitalism is so rotten!

Finally understand why Eric used to be very special to himself but deliberately kept a distance, Caroline was very happy at this time.

The girl is simple-minded, and doesn't think of too many family past events. She just thinks that her parents, aunts, and others all know about it, but they deliberately hide it from herself out of goodwill.

Although, um, because of the relationship between the two, Eric doesn't seem to be able to accept being too close to him, but as long as he takes the initiative, no.

He's such a bad guy.

Thinking of this, Caroline moved slightly and tentatively whispered, Cousin.

Eric only felt a jerk all over his body, and quickly said: Don't call it that.

Caroline bent her mouth and nodded obediently: Then, I will call you Eric in the future.

Eric finally recovered from the rotten status quo of capitalism, feeling that he has a long way to go, and replied: That's good, Carly, it's already very late, why don't you go back to your room tonight?

Caroline also knew that nothing could happen to the two of them tonight, she let go of Eric, pulled the quilt by herself, and said with a little coquettish tone: May took all my clothes, Eric , will you take me home?

Eric had some thoughts of deducting someone's salary, but he had to get up, carefully picked up the girl wrapped in the quilt, and walked out.

Caroline, who was in the roll, just showed a small head, and looked at Eric with bright eyes. When she left the bedroom, she suddenly said: By the way, Eric, I can tell you about this. May?

Eric was a little 'self-defeating': Tell me.

Caroline said immediately: If you don't like it, then I'll hide it from Mei.

It doesn't matter, anyway, Eric shrugged and said, As long as you don't do bad things in the name of my cousin being Eric Williams.

Oh, it won't.

Out of the door, a few steps came to the door of the two women's rooms, Eric held Caroline in his arms, and had to gently kick the door twice with his foot.

Eric, this is very rude, Caroline felt Eric's movement, and said this subconsciously, and then stretched out a small white arm from the quilt and knocked on the door a few times .

This time, Melanie didn't know if she was asleep or what, and she didn't open the door for a while.

The two of them waited at the door in a strange posture. Caroline had to knock a few more times, and she remembered something in a blink of an eye, and said, By the way, Eric, as I just said, does Auntie want to come to Los Angeles to see you?

Eric nodded: Yes.

Caroline felt that Eric's tone was a little indifferent, so he hesitated, and said, Then, Eric, will you call her mother?

Uh, maybe, no. Eric shook his head, looked at the girl in his arms, and said, I think she shouldn't care.

Caroline also shook her head and said, I must be concerned, my aunt must have been following you all the time. I only understand now why I suddenly received a letter from my aunt from Greece. She also said that she misses me. My niece, uh, my aunt wants to know your news through me. Although she slightly wrinkled her nose, the kind-hearted girl obviously didn't take this matter too seriously. Said: She definitely cares.
