After Aldridge arrived in New York, Barnett personally came to pick up the plane and sat in the extended Lincoln.

Barnett was frightened by him, and kept reminding him to calm down, and as a father, he could understand Aldrich's joy, but he could not understand the other's extraordinary excitement.

Of course, he couldn't understand it, Aldrich was actually a "son of old age", and he had lived for more than forty years before he had his own children, not that he couldn't ask for it before, but he was even more excited under the sudden impact of strange joy.

Barnett invites Aldrich to stay at his mansion in the United States, but Aldrich disagrees, he can't wait to meet Melanie, and Barnett asks the driver to drive him to Melanie's hotel.

When Aldrich walked into the hotel and came to Melanie's room, he suddenly became unusually calm when he faced Melanie, who had opened the door for him.

Melanie, who was dressed in casual clothes, looked at him with a smile on her lips, waiting for him to rush over and pick her up, but Aldrich walked into the room, closed the door gently, and turned to stare at Melanie with a gentle gaze.

"Damn, Aldrich, what are you waiting for? Quick, hug me! ”

Melanie rushed over, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

Aldrich hugged her too, but cautiously.

"Be careful, be careful"

He gently pressed her back and told her not to make a big move.

Melanie held his face and said with a smile: "Look at you nervous, I don't feel anything, if it weren't for the recent menstrual holiday, who knew that Lu Dao would be pregnant." ”

"I didn't know the way before, just forget it. Now that you know the Tao, you have to be careful. ”

Aldrich let go of her, took her by the hand, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Melanie saw the bloodshot in his eyes and asked distressedly, "Didn't you rest?" ”

Aldrich smiled, "Can't sleep." ”

"Then go to sleep now! Have to! ”

Melanie took off his clothes with her own hands, and then let him lie down in the bed, and she also took off her outer coat, got into the bed in her underwear, leaned on his shoulder, and put one hand on his chest, and said with a smile: "Let you sleep more comfortably." ”

Aldrich sniffed her hair. Contentedly, he closed his eyes, and now the tiredness came over him, and he spoke to Melanie in a lower and lower voice before his consciousness became blurred.

"I thought of the child's name, and the boy's name was Bert. The girl's name is Bonnie. ”

"Bert, Bonnie. Very nice name. ”

Melanie asked him to think of two names. Aldrich accomplished the task.

She thought for a moment, Bert, a symbol of brilliance and glory, and Bonnie, a symbol of grace and kindness.

"May our children be as famous as you. Aldrich. Wise Ruler, Hall, Heroic Glory, Aldrich Hall. Oh, wise and glorious heroic ruler. ”

"These are the best wishes of parents for their children"

Aldrich fell asleep, Melanie gazed at his face with her chin high, closed her eyes and kissed him gently, and then closed her eyes and lay peacefully in his arms.

When Aldrich woke up, he opened his eyes to see that it was already dark outside the window of his room, and the clock on the wall of the room showed that it was 11 o'clock in the evening.

Melanie stayed in a suite, and in addition to the bedroom, there was a living room outside, and she was watching TV in the living room, and the volume was very low.

Aldrich came in a hurry this time, and he didn't even bring a change of clothes except for his papers, so he got up and put on his suit again, but he didn't clean it up.

He walked to the living room, Melanie turned her head and smiled, "Woke you up?" ”

Without entering the living room, where the TV could barely be heard, Aldrich leaned over and kissed her, then sat down next to her while Melanie called the hotel to deliver food.

He had prepared for the waiter to prepare a sumptuous meal and bring it in when Aldrich woke up.

The two were enjoying their meal in the living room, and halfway through the meal, Aldrich suddenly said, "Let's get married." ”

Melanie froze, and Aldrich continued: "You go back to London, and we buy a new house, or we live in the eastern suburbs, which is a little far from where I work, but it doesn't matter. ”

Melanie recovered her expression from the surprise and frowned, "Aldrich, what are you talking about?" ”

Aldrich smiled: "I'm talking about us, we are married, of course we are going to live together, and we are going to have children soon, we are going to raise children together, aren't we?" ”

Melanie asked rhetorically, "What about my job?" What about my career? ”

Aldridge said as a matter of course: "Harry Vier has decided to quit, and the other members of the Spice Girls, Victoria also wants to quit, right?" If it weren't for Beckham becoming a sinner in England in France, they would have been married by now. Your career has been brilliant, and now I think it's a good time to take your life to a new level. ”

Melanie shook her head when she heard this, and said, "You mean to let me be a housewife?" Aldrich, I can't sway other people's thoughts, Harry Vier wants to quit, it's her choice, if Victoria wants to marry Beckham and become a full-time wife, that's also her choice, I'm not satisfied, from my debut to now, my career has only started three or four years, yes, the Spice Girls group has been successful, maybe there is a crisis of dissolution now, but it doesn't mean that my career is over, there are no other members, I think I can be successful as well. ”

Aldrich also frowned slightly, and said softly: "I'm not doubting whether you can succeed in breaking away from the hot girl group, I just think that we should live together together at least if we are together and form a complete family, and it is when we have children." ”

"I don't think having children affects the fact that we're together."

"But I need you to be there for me, I need my children to be able to see their mother at home every day, and if you continue your current career, you will definitely not be able to take care of the family most of the time."

Melanie and Aldrich had a heated argument, and the two of them went back and forth without giving in words.

"Just because you have a child doesn't mean you need an adult to stay at home 24 hours a day! A lot of couples or couples come over like this. I don't think that's a problem! ”

"No, you didn't understand what I said, I need a whole family, with me, you, and children, so that I can come home after work and see my wife and children, and I can sit at the table and eat together and talk about any topic in life, instead of always feeling like a couple in love."

Aldrich stood up and said loudly. His face was extremely serious.

Melanie also stood up and said, "You have a career, I also have a career, why do you want me to give up?" Why don't you give up your job to accompany me? ”

Aldrich was speechless.

yes, why would he ask Melanie to give up her career to fulfill her desires?

Lived in Europe for more than ten years. It was only at this moment that Aldrich fully experienced first-hand the difference between Eastern and Western concepts.

He is somewhat conservative in his family concept. He believes that a family should be a man working hard outside the home. When conditions permit, women stay at home and wait, especially if they have children, and they will marry and raise children.

The atmosphere in the living room became tense, and neither of them spoke, or even looked at each other. Melanie turned her head to look away, while Aldrich put one hand on her waist and the other on her head and lowered her head slightly.

He was clearly thinking.

But his thoughts made Melanie panic.

Aldrich is not the kind of person who would be vexatious and angry, and he has been with him for so many years. She understands this man, if she agrees, she stays, and if she doesn't, she separates.

His thinking must be making a choice.

He is a stubborn person, especially when a person desires something, and the strength of desire will make the attitude extremely firm.

Melanie felt aggrieved, her eyes were hazy, and she used a woman's most normal reaction to break the oppressive dead silence.

Grumble.

"Aldrich, I love you, and you love me, but you said you wanted to marry me, but you didn't even prepare an engagement ring, to put it mildly, I don't ask you to give me much romance, at least I should formally propose, right?"

She said that she was married, just to remind Aldrich where the relationship between the two had reached in reality.

Aldrich raised his head and said calmly, "Married? I don't know, what is the point of getting married if there is no change in our state before and after marriage? I was wrong just now, and I shouldn't have taken it for granted that you should give up your career, but if we can't agree on this matter, I don't think things will go the way we wanted. Melanie, please consider my request carefully, I know that you will have to make a certain sacrifice to change you from the singer Melanie Chisholm to Melanie Hall."

Before Aldridge's words were finished, Melanie shook her head with tears in her eyes and said: "No, I don't, you have spent so many years studying, traveling all over Europe, and consulting various football academies to achieve today's success, what about me?" My efforts before becoming famous also cost me sweat day by day! You can't give up easily, what can I do? Aldrich, we can not get married, but keep the current state, even if we have children, it will not affect much, we can hire a nanny, we can ask the elders to help take care of it"

"But that's not what I want, I'm different from you, you're in Berlin today, you're in Paris tomorrow, and you can enjoy different scenery after work, but what about me? Most of the year is the training ground, the competition field, the club, I need to give me more life elements in life, I need to go home at the end of the work with great interest, I know that someone is waiting for me at home, I can see the figure of my wife, I can see the face of my children, I can forget all the tiredness, feel the fulfillment of life! That's what I want, can you give it to me? Can you? ”

Aldrich's tone was soft, more like a request.

But Melanie was silent, tears streaming down her face.

Aldrich has got the answer.

He looked down and laughed to himself.

It's naïve to think about it.

Love and life are sometimes two different things.

He walked back to the bedroom to put on his leather shoes, and when he walked to the living room, he came to Melanie's side and tried to wipe the tears from her face, but Melanie's outstretched hand was directly opened by Melanie.

"Take care of yourself."

"What do you mean by that? Break up? ”

Melanie turned her head to look him in the eye.

Aldridge said softly, "I just hope you can calm down and think about it for a while. ”

"No, you don't!"

Aldrich gave her a deep look, then walked to the door, opened it, and walked out. (To be continued......)
