atypical hollywood life

Margaret sat in the yard a little sadly, the bright starry sky in California at night didn't make her feel any better.She's frustrated and overwhelmed by the mess that's been going on since the beginning of the year.

From a certain point of view, her two lives were lonely.Of course her family loved her, but so what?Everyone has everyone's life, her family also has a partner, work and some trivial things in life are busy, it is impossible to put all the energy on her.

When she was a girl diagnosed by a doctor that she would not live to be 20 years old, only her grandpa and grandma could accompany her for a long time, because her parents were too busy.I am so busy flying around in the sky all year round, most of the time I can only communicate with her through video calls. Their focus is on her health problems. No one will ask her what she played again today. What a good movie because that's how they love her.

She also doesn't have friends of the same age who can make the world together, because when she was not very sensible, she was taught to let go of her mind to avoid unforeseen consequences caused by overloading her heart.After being sensible, I was taught to control my emotions to ensure that the fragile heart would not explode in order to maintain the health of the body.And children are too impulsive and easy to lose control of their emotions. It is very dangerous to be with them. Besides, the family is also worried that these ignorant children will hurt her so that she will bleed dry by accident. hang up.So she didn't even go to school until she grew up to the age where she could guarantee that she would not be easily hurt by others. The elderly tutors carefully taught her various knowledge, and she didn't understand it so well The normal mechanics of the world coaxed her to go out and play with the kids after she learned what they taught her.

The same goes for the brothers and sisters at home. They treat her like holding a fragile object. No one knows that she really wants to go out like them and vent her enthusiasm in the world.

After her new life started, she was ecstatic. She could finally live like a normal person. She had longed for this for 24 years and struggled with it.

But she is still lonely. When she was very young, when Lilian and William left home to pursue their dreams, she used to hug their thighs tightly.With a mature mind, she can't do the behavior of throwing and rolling all over the floor, but she still wants her parents to be with her. She knows that this kind of behavior is selfish, but she still can't help being tempted by this kind of thinking. She wants to be with her The other children sat on the swing and were pushed high by their parents, even though it was just a dream.

In the end, it was still the oldest one who accompanied her. Old Howard no longer had the energy of his youth during the last journey of his life. Instead, his favorite thing was to hold the little meat ball in his arms and recall the past, or Tell her some knowledge that Margaret doesn't know very well.Because the youngest great-granddaughter won't sit still like two feisty great-grandchildren who just want to run out and play.

And then there's Lex, who also reads her bedtime stories and watches Animal World with her while Lang is still alive and running the company.Although these hours were stolen from Anne's strict etiquette teaching time.It's a pity that this beautiful life is too short. Lang's sudden death leaves Lex with no time to play house with his little meat dumpling.She was given to Catherine again, but Catherine was too old, and the gap between them was too deep, and she had to stay by herself more often, so she had to develop some interesting life that could entertain herself, So that I am not so lonely.

Later, news of the deaths of Lilian and William came, and even her legal guardian was changed to a name other than her parents'.In the end, only Nancy, the nanny who followed her to Catherine's house, was by her side.But Nancy would not accompany her to make the world, nor would she read her a bedtime story.

Tom is a rare like-minded person who is willing to play with her. He is like her dream father who can lead his mischievous daughter to conquer the world.Nicole once said that he was too immature and would spoil children.But like the clown said, why so serious?Who wants to be mature if they can be childish?Many of their lives no longer belong to them, so why can't they live more freely?

But now, Tom is about to lose his wife, his marriage, and these scars will be exposed in front of the public, and his dignity will be demolished.

And Margaret couldn't do anything about it.

Just like Matthew, she asked him if he needed his help, and Matthew knew exactly what she meant, and she was willing to start a war for her friend.But he still refused her help, and only asked her for a trivial cooperation relationship.Because he knew it was his own battle, and he would always be a coward if he didn't do it himself, an incompetent who needed others to protect himself.

Same with Tom, she couldn't live for him.She firmly remembered what the old Howard said to her, "Honey, even the closest person, don't interfere too much with each other's thoughts. Thinking creates an independent space for people, and it is not good to point fingers at will. Habits, since God created different individuals, it means that He wants each person to have his own unique thoughts. This is the most valuable lesson I have learned from Catherine's married life."

Margaret sniffed, walked back into the warm room, grabbed the phone and dialed a number, the phone rang a few times and was picked up.

Alexander Hughes' deep and sweet voice came from the microphone, "Honey, is something wrong?" Margaret seldom calls him on non-weekend working days, and she prefers to call him on weekends. Talk on the phone with him about his work and her study life.

"No, I miss you, Lex."

Margaret said sullenly, "I don't like the weather in California at all. It's too sunny during the day and too cold at night. I miss New York, even though the air quality in Manhattan is not good at all."

Alexander's heart suddenly softened, "Come back if you don't like it, don't be unhappy about these things." His little princess should live happily every day instead of worrying about some inexplicable weather problems.

"No!" Margaret pouted.

"The advantage of the three-semester system is that as long as I maintain the current pace, I can graduate next year. I can't give up this, and I will be laughed at by everyone."

Sean and Robert would have said she was too squeamish.Because when she was in school, she had been strictly abiding by her own schedule, and never went to class day and night with dark circles under her eyes.This is unbelievable for those students whose life is to study and experiment. She is an outlier among the many otaku who can eat chocolate bars that have been stored for more than three months.If they knew she'd come back to New York because she didn't like the weather in California, they'd be blowing it up.Come on, she's a Hughes, how can she be overwhelmed by something as trivial as the weather?

Alexander smiled softly. The little girl was still so stubborn, just like she insisted on going to Caltech. She crossed out all the schools in New York on the list, and only wanted to enter this school in California.Like all Hughes, once he has determined the way to go, he will go forward and will not look back.

"Okay, then when you graduate and come back, you can write a novel about the weather in California, like a vampire who is cursed to live in Los Angeles..."

At the end of the call, only Alexander's deep and gentle voice remained in Margaret's ears, and finally fell asleep holding the microphone in a daze.

"Honey, are you still listening?"

Alexander on the phone called twice softly, then hung up without getting a response from Margaret, and dialed Nancy instead.

"Nancy, I'm Alexander. Could you please go to Meg's room and have a look? She should be asleep."

After Nancy took out the phone in Margaret's hand and covered her with the quilt, he continued to talk to Nancy, "Did Meg encounter any bad mood recently? Or did she encounter something? Someone who made her feel bad?"

After getting a negative answer, Alexander put down the phone and turned to thinking about why the little girl suddenly became emotionally unstable.His little girl has always been able to control her emotions very well, in which Howard and Steve are not as good as her, and even himself, in some respects, is inferior.Something must have happened to her being so abnormal today.

Thinking of this, Alexander made several phone calls regardless of the fact that it was already eight o'clock in the evening. He needed to know what made Margaret so unhappy.

Margaret, woken by the sun the next morning, groaned in pain. It must be Nancy.

She has always felt that Margaret's refusal to be exposed to the sun is not good for her growth and development. Only when she is fully moisturized by the sun can the calcium and phosphorus in her body be better absorbed, so that she can avoid symptoms such as Rickets, rheumatoid arthritis, anemia and other diseases caused by lack of sunlight, and ultraviolet rays can also make dehydrocholesterol in the human body into vitamin D, which is the main vitamin for the human body to absorb calcium and affects the growth of bones and calcification.If she doesn't want to be a dwarf and an unhealthy person, she has to accept the sun's rays, and only then can she thrive like a plant.

However, Margaret completely rejected this, not to mention her sun phobia, she didn't want to thrive at all, if she really grew to be more than six feet, she would cry, shoes and clothes and so on. It's not easy to buy!

I really shouldn't have fallen asleep yesterday, but Nancy took advantage of it and got her way!Margaret shrunk her calf, which was exposed to the sun, and pulled the quilt up over her head.She doesn't feel like exercising at all today. She wants to continue to sleep. It's the holiday anyway, so it's okay to indulge a little bit, so that's it.
