"Don't say that I said it." Djékun was also very uncomfortable with talking bad about his mother behind her back,

"Mom doesn't like you very much,

She says that you're a pretty girl in the rich district,

girl,

She doesn't understand how difficult it is for a mother to take care of five children. "

Hayley was very surprised. "I don't understand. I don't have children."

Djékun tried his best to hold back his laughter.

Rain interrupted him. "Don't talk about this anymore."

Djékun was embarrassed.

"Didn't Juven ask you to tell me?"

"— No,

He didn't say anything.

It's Mom,

Mom thinks that he changed after he met you. "

"He changed?

Yes, he changed. He grew up.

Aline told you to stay away from me so that you wouldn't be led astray by me, right? "

Is that so? "Haley lit a cigarette and then threw the cigarette box and lighter on the table.

"Probably." Rain smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Mom thinks too much. We have to grow up eventually, but it doesn't mean that we won't love her when we grow up." Djékun didn't mind.

He picked up the cigarette box,

He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Rain also lit a cigarette. "Mom isn't a bad person. She loves us very much,

She loves Juven very much,

She just doesn't know how to deal with the fact that we've grown up. "

"I know," Hayley said lightly.

This was very normal. Mothers would always look for reasons outside,

It was definitely not the child's problem when the child was not obedient. It was always a bad child who led her baby astray.

Now she was that "bad child".

She and Aline had only met a limited number of times,

Of course, they didn't understand each other.

Juven rarely brought her home,

It was because Helen took out her anger on her that she went to Juven to complain tearfully,

It was the first time she went to his house. After that, she went a few times, but Aline was usually not at home. Now that she thought about it, Juven seemed to be deliberately avoiding Aline when she was at home.

He always thought of others.

Hayley had never known how many people were needed to serve a Hollywood star. Recently, Juven had been so busy that she had finally met most of the people in Juven's team.

"Why do you need so many people?" She was surprised. The number of people serving him was several times more than the number of servants and service staff in her house.

"That's exactly what I want.

Ayres, Ayres' assistant, PR manager, PR assistant, my own assistant, hairstylist, stylist, accountant, lawyer, tax lawyer, bodyguard, what else? "

Counting them, there were indeed quite a number of people in his team. There were actually nearly 30 people surrounding him, asking him to pay them.

Ayres received a fixed commission. Accountants, lawyers, and tax lawyers were paid by the hour, but everyone else had to be paid monthly. Hence, a lot of his income was used on the team.

But it was still too much. Most of the people in a star's team were there to serve the star, but there were also people who were there to eat and drink. Juven also had some "good friends" who had become members of his team in various ways. It could be said that Juven was supporting a large group of people alone.

Hayley did not say anything else. It was not up to her to say anything. She did not know the business and could not do anything about it.

When she went home and mentioned it to Helen, she laughed and said that there were still too few servants in her house.

Helen looked at her. "Do you think that only what you see counts?

Outside, the pool cleaning, lawn trimming, tree maintenance, and house maintenance all need people to do. Lucia and the rest are only in charge of the interior. Even the floor-to-ceiling windows need people to clean them. How many people do you think he needs? "

"Such a big villa definitely needs a lot of people to take care of it.

Why does he need so many people to serve him? "

"You don't know the business, so don't worry.

If he doesn't earn enough to cover his expenses, his agent will find him a better job opportunity. "

"Ha!

No wonder Aline always wants him to take more commercial films. "

"What's wrong with commercial films?

The pay is high and the box office is high. If it's a big hit, his popularity will also increase.

Why are you talking about Aline?

Did Aline say anything? "

"She didn't say anything. I rarely see her." Hayley sat next to Helen and crushed the chicken on her plate.

"Isaac told me about Juven's parents. His family …" She paused and smiled. "But you won't marry him, so I have nothing to worry about."

"What marriage?" Hayley was stunned.

"Don't get married, or don't get married too early.

Look at me. I got married too early and had you too early. Many people were surprised. 'Ah!

Your daughter is already in university!

I'm still very young. "Her tone was very calm. It was just a statement, not a complaint.

Hayley didn't care. "I only like Juven. It has nothing to do with his family."

"You're such a fool!" Helen shook her head. "It seems that I've raised you too well. In the end, you don't know anything."

Hayley looked at her in confusion.

"It's said that falling in love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families.

Although I don't want you to get married too early, if you really want to get married, I'll still pay for your wedding.

What does Juven think?

You have to know that you may think that it's fine as long as you love each other now, but after you get married, your bills will be combined. You have to think about your family. His parents and siblings will come to him for everything. They want him to pay for money and energy. Can you bear it? "

Hayley looked frightened. "I don't want to do such a troublesome thing!

Besides, who said that you have to get married when you're in love?

It's not like that at all! "

Helen smiled again. "You're right. From your point of view, it's like that.

Look at Alexander. He didn't divorce for more than ten years, but suddenly he divorced quickly. He didn't hesitate to pay a large sum of alimony. Now he proposes to me once a month. Why? "

"Isn't it because of possessiveness?

A person like him must want everything he wants to be named after him: my house, my property, my woman. "

"Yes, a man's possessiveness.

Have I told you about Dad's past? "

"No, you rarely talk about him."

"The day Frederick saw me, he asked me if I could go on a date with him. After two dates, he proposed to me. I had just turned 16 at that time."

"How old was Dad?"

"18."

Helen smiled. "You see, that's how a man treats the woman he loves. He must want to marry her."

"But I —" Hayley lowered her head. "I don't know what Juven thinks.

I don't want to get married, but I don't want to break up with him, at least not now. "

"What if Juven proposes to you?"

"He doesn't want to get married.

Besides, I won't say yes even if he proposes. I'm still young. I have to graduate from college and study for a doctorate. "Hayley felt that this was a little contradictory. Something wasn't quite right, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After thinking for a while, she looked up at Helen. "Where's Dad?

You haven't told me where he went.

Are you divorced? "

"No."

Helen lit a cigarette. "Dad had a car accident and is now in a vegetative state. He's being cared for in the castle at home."

Hayley was shocked. "What?!

I always thought Dad … Dad died.

If he didn't die, then why did you marry Isaac? "

"Your grandmother gave me a sum of money to leave your father."

Hayley was still shocked. "My grandmother … Wait, did you take the money?"

Helen didn't answer.

*

Hayley was depressed for a few days, but she still let go of the matter.

She knew that her father wasn't dead, but it was no different from being dead. It didn't affect her life at all.

When she was young, she envied other children for having fathers. But she knew that even if she asked her mother, she wouldn't get an answer, so she didn't ask much.

Of course, she also thought about what the family would be like if she had a father. Her mother rarely mentioned her father, but she probably loved him very much. Every time she mentioned him, she was very sad.

She also wanted her father to play kissing and hugging with her. In her childhood memories, which had become very vague, her father was a handsome and stalwart man who doted on her a lot. Every child wanted to be doted on like that by their parents, and she was no exception.

She didn't keep this matter to herself. Soon, she told Juven that her father was still alive, but he was in a vegetative state.

Juven was also quite surprised. "Baby —" He didn't know how to comfort her, so he just hugged her.

"Do you miss him?"

"I was very young when I left Germany. Five or six years old?

If it weren't for the photos, I wouldn't even remember what he looked like. "

He stroked her blonde hair. "Or, you can go back and see him."

Hayley sighed softly. "It's better not. After being in a vegetative state for so many years, his muscles must have atrophied, and his face must have changed. I'd better remember his young and handsome face."

Juven didn't say anything. He just hugged her even tighter.

"Do you think that I'm too cold?"

"No, you don't. Why would you?"

"I'm actually very similar to Helen. She doesn't seem to care much about anything. She doesn't seem to care much about me either."

"She loves you very much. You see, you've always been by her side, but she doesn't dislike you."

She glared. "What are you talking about?

I'm so cute. Who can bear to dislike me? "

"Okay, I was wrong. I'm sorry."

Juven readily accepted. "You think that Helen is cold to you, but I think that she probably just doesn't know how to express her love for you. She raised you —"

"No, I was raised by nannies."

Juven laughed. "You know that's not the same concept.

Did you lack anything when you were young?

Pocket money?

Food?

Beautiful dresses?

Beautiful hair ribbons?

Barbie dolls?

Look, didn't she take good care of you? "

Hayley admitted, "In terms of material and money, I don't lack anything.

But I want more. I want her to hug me and say that she loves me. She loves me the most. "

He also felt a little sorry for her, but he was really jealous. She had never lacked pocket money, never starved, and never had to take her younger siblings to the streets to perform — actually, beg — because she had to support her family, but she felt that she had nothing.
