Chapter 2 features a mermaid named Nicole
Just as Nicole was lost in thought, a boy no older than six or seven suddenly blocked her path, asking for her help
He knew nothing about Los Angeles and could only rely on the sun to determine direction. In a state of confusion and helplessness, Ryan embarked on the only road he remembered, the one leading to the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Ryan hurriedly entered his room in three quick steps and two long strides, soon retrieving a book and a supplement of The New York Times from the nightstand of his children's bed. After returning to the living room, he handed them over.
Nicole, could you wait for me for a moment? Something happened that I need to show you
In Ryan's eyes lingered a look of confusion, yet his mind was quickly calculating. He had not anticipated that by casually casting a net, he would catch a mermaid named Nicole. If the information from his past life was correct, she was a woman who adored children. So why not take advantage of this opportunity?
"Chubby and plump?" Ryan leaned down onto Nicole's soft chest, inhaling the intoxicating fragrance, and said in a muffled voice, "May I ask if you are raising piglets?"
Beneath his feet lay a terrazzo surface, embedded with brass stars. Although the names on the stars were quite unfamiliar, he was well aware that they were the marks left by various superstars
It has finally come to an end
In order to obtain custody of Ryan, this lawsuit lasted for several months, consuming not only a significant amount of her time and energy but also depleting all her savings
London
Nicole gently kissed Ryan on the forehead, then burst into laughter, secretly admiring Ryan's perceptiveness for using such a method to cheer her up
Unknowingly, she arrived at the Avenue of Stars. Looking at the stars one by one, Nicole felt a bit envious and somewhat jealous. She was aware of her own ambitions and abilities, and she was very certain that in a prominent position on the Avenue of Stars, there would be a star that belonged to her.
For his goals, for his future, Ryan gritted his teeth and stepped in front of a stunning woman.
From the boy's conversation, she learned that he is an orphan, and the director of the welfare institution intends to harm him. He had to exert considerable effort to escape from the institution and is currently seeking the assistance of a lawyer
Ryan was gently embraced in her arms, and Nicole pinched his still frail body, saying with concern, "Ryan, from now on it will just be the two of us. I will definitely raise you to be healthy and plump."
Madam, could you assist me with a small favor
A theater company has invited me to perform in a stage play, and I also have a villa there. This apartment can only be sold.
Having just experienced the profound separation of life and death with her family, Nicole found herself in a moment of utmost vulnerability. When her gaze met that of the boy, her heart softened like cotton, and even her soul trembled, as if her arrival in Los Angeles and her walk along this Hollywood Boulevard were destined for this serendipitous encounter between the two of them
Nicole looked at Ryan, who was sitting beside her. Although he had a somewhat peculiar temperament, he was both intelligent and considerate. After spending some time together, she found herself liking him, even though it came at a considerable cost. However, all of this was worth it, wasn't it
As she turned the page, Nicole was taken aback. Inside the front page of the book, there was a cash check tucked away, and the amount written on it was 2... ? ... two hundred thousand dollars? Where did this money come from? Could it possibly be a fake check from hetushucom.com?
Moreover, just last year, her mother passed away due to a recurrence of cancer, followed by her father who succumbed to excessive grief. Nicole decided to leave this place of sorrow, purchasing a property in Beverly Hills, intending to relocate the center of her career to the United States
What should I do? Standing on the Walk of Fame, Ryan shrugged his shoulders. The well-dressed passersby saw him as if he were a plague, keeping their distance as far as possible.
Half a month later, the alluring woman and the eccentric boy set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Nicole firmly rejected the money and, after consulting with Lawyer Wilson, opened a new personal account for him at Citibank. Lawyer Wilson also agreed to Nicole's request to use her property as collateral for repaying the debt later.
The stage play can hone Nicole's acting skills, and living in the UK, he can also focus on British novels! Ryan's thoughts instantly took a one hundred eighty-degree turn as he lay in Nicole's embrace, rolling his eyes. However, thinking of everything the other party had sacrificed for him, he finally made up his mind
London is often rainy, and it is rare to have a day filled with bright sunshine. The two of them sat under the tree in the courtyard, with Nicole reviewing the script of a play while Ryan was looking through Nicole's photo album
These are photos from the past two years, mostly taken when Nicole was in Los Angeles, featuring the Walk of Fame, Universal Studios, the Chinese Theatre, and the Shrine Auditorium, which are all prevalent throughout the album. Ryan couldn't help but recall her circumstances in her previous life and couldn't resist asking, "Nicole, do you really want to develop your career in Hollywood?"
"I am very sorry, Nicole, you know, the kind of environment I grew up in..." Ryan understood in his heart that no matter who it was, there would inevitably be some unresolved issues.
Nicole Kidman had just arrived in Los Angeles with her book. She had gained considerable fame in Australia, and like most Australian actors, after achieving success in her home country, she often sought greater opportunities in Hollywood.
Nicole couldn't help but feel a softness in her heart. She gently caressed his face and said, "Alright then, give me an explanation"
The two individuals' new residence in London is located in the Kensington district, comprising a detached two-story English villa. From the rooftop terrace, one can gaze at the distant Kensington Palace, the former residence of Princess Diana.
Seeing her haggard face, Ryan felt somewhat moved; he was not a heartless bastard. For the sake of this lawsuit and to assemble a sufficiently formidable legal team, Nicole not only sold the newly purchased villa but also sold her car
However, considering the increasingly tight expenses and the invitation from London, Nicole decided to seek his opinion.
This woman is extraordinarily beautiful and captivating, surpassing all the written works and film scenes that Ryan has ever seen in his past life in terms of youth and beauty. But why did Nicole Kidman appear in Hollywood as early as 1987? Could it be that her fragile butterfly wings could actually influence Australia?
Ryan bravely lifted his head, and at the moment he saw the woman's appearance, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn, is the old man in the sky playing tricks on me!"
At Ryan's strong request, Nicole arranged for a private tutor for him. In addition to learning Chinese and French, Ryan began professional vocal training. Although the style of the master of the Philharmonic Orchestra is quite different from pop music, many aspects often depend on the teacher to introduce the student to the door, while the practice is personal. His talent in music is remarkably outstanding, and he even feels that the powerful being who seems to have given him a new life is a pop music enthusiast.
The world outside is vibrant, yet filled with helplessness. Ryan, without a penny to his name, has been confined for over half a month, appearing to be nothing more than a small vagrant. After being repeatedly denied the use of the public phone by the convenience store owner, he simply abandoned the idea of contacting a lawyer immediately.
Very well! Miss Nicole Kidman, as a person who values gratitude, and as someone who has admired you since a previous life, I will certainly help you become the center of attention, striving to ensure that you stand on the highest stage of honor as early and as often as possible
In order to obtain custody as quickly as possible, she even specifically applied for U.S. citizenship. Fortunately, she was born in Hawaii and is a person of some renown, so it did not take much effort.
The frail boy, his helpless lament, and his tragic background all touched the softest part of Nicole's heart. After Ryan finished the call, she suddenly said, "Perhaps I can offer you some help"
Furthermore, I will definitely not allow that charming young man to hurt your heart again
... ...
Perhaps all his luck was spent when he escaped from the welfare institution, as he did not encounter a single American police officer until he entered the Star Avenue
Ryan let out a light sigh; he and she truly made a perfect match, both setting their sights on that arena of fame and fortune
It is not a problem if you do not have money to make a phone call; you can seek help from the police
"Indeed! Only there can I become a world-class movie star and realize my dreams." Nicole did not care who she was speaking to, "Perhaps in the future, I might even win an Oscar!"
Ryan, would you like to stay in London for a while
The boy was somewhat frail, with light brown long hair that covered his head like a messy bird's nest. His clothes were tattered, making him look like a little vagabond, but his sky-blue eyes shone brightly like sapphires, fixed intently on her, revealing confusion and sorrow, as if the entire world had abandoned him, and she was his only hope
In the time that followed, Nicole, disregarding Ryan's strong objections, sent him to school. The poor child, entering elementary school for the second time, found the classroom to be a workshop for his plundering endeavors
Nicole was also unsure of her own thoughts; in a daze, she agreed to the boy's request and followed him into a public telephone booth, watching as he dialed the number.
Listening to Ryan's account, Nicole's mouth widened in astonishment; she never expected that she had managed to reclaim a super genius
As Attorney Wilson was seen off at the door, Nicole Kidman, gently stroking her smooth, white forehead, sat down on the sofa, her face revealing an unmistakable weariness and fatigue.
Ryan understood that Nicole's financial situation was very dire and that she urgently needed to secure a job
For Hollywood, she is ultimately a newcomer. Although she is not starting completely from scratch, her consecutive auditions have not gone smoothly. In a state of frustration, she has no choice but to go out shopping to alleviate her gloomy mood
The woman stands nearly six feet tall, approximately 180 centimeters in metric, giving her a tall and slender appearance. Her fair skin is comparable to the freshest milk, and her long, curly hair is a rare shade of golden red, exuding an exceptionally striking and coldly elegant aura
Nicole Kidman squinted slightly, clearly sensing that this man was hiding some secrets from her. Reflecting on her wholehearted dedication to him, she felt a twinge of discomfort at the thought that he had been holding something back.
Even so, she still owes a considerable amount in legal fees to Attorney Wilson
