"AJ Group has dominated the film and television industry for over ten years. Obviously, its achievements are known to all. For the 10th anniversary, Mr. William Lan, the CEO of AJ Group, has invited celebrities from all walks of life to gather together in this grand event. Luckily, our reporters are fortunate to get in and do on-site interviews."
"The 10th anniversary celebration of AJ Group is held in a European style manor in the city. Long red carpet lined the entrance of the castle. Stay tuned with our entertainment channel. At six o'clock tonight, we will broadcast the red carpet show exclusively for you. The stars are shining now. What are you waiting for?"
"I saw Dad!" Elissa excitedly pointed to a person's figure passing by on the TV. "Alick, did you see him? Over there!"
"Yes, I did." Alick nodded.
Hearing the two children call William their dad easily, Barry felt sad and frustrated. However, he could not disagree with them. It was true after all.
"Dad is so handsome!" Elissa exclaimed while jumping excitedly. "But Daddy Barry is more handsome!" Alick disagreed.
"Ha ha!" Barry came back to his senses at once. He turned and said to the two kids, "Daddy Barry is going to be on TV tonight too!"
"Really?" Alick ran to Barry and said, "Daddy Barry is going to be on TV with such elegant clothes!"
"Daddy Barry, why don't you take me with you?" Elissa also ran to Barry and played cute. "I also want to be on TV!"
"No way!" Mary had just come out of the bedroom on the second floor. She was walking downstairs when she overheard Barry and the kids' conversation. "Alick and Elissa, you both need to stay at home tonight."
The three people downstairs all gazed at her.
Mary was wearing a white knee-length strapless dress. The delicate lace set off her white and slender legs, and her perfect clavicles were exposed. Her figure was curved and chic, like a fairy falling to the mortal world. There was no extra decorations on her head. She just simply coiled up her black hair, but it was enough to make her look both elegant and extraordinary.
"Mommy is so beautiful!" Elissa was stunned at her mother's beauty and she could not keep her eyes off Mary.
"Thank you for your praise, Elissa!" Mary walked down the stairs gracefully.
"Mommy is so beautiful!" Alick could not help but praise her too.
"Thank you, Alick!" Mary smiled. Her face contained shyness of a girl as well as maturity of a woman.
As Barry looked at her simple but eye-catching dress, his heart ached. How could he give up such a wonderful woman?
"Daddy Barry is so stunned. Hee hee!" Elissa approached her brother and laughed.
"Haha!" Alick covered his mouth and giggled, and then he hugged his sister.
"You two," muttered Mary with a red face, "how do two kids know so much?"
"It means that Elissa is smart." Barry stood up from the couch and said with a smile, "What Elissa said is right. I'm stunned. You have always been beautiful, Mary."
Barry was dressed in a black suit, and his blue tie looked a little nifty. Without any decorations, his perfect figure was obvious.
Mary, still blushing, said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Gu."
"Ha ha!"
Ring! Ring! Barry's phone suddenly rang and he picked it up on the second ring. "Hello?"
"Mr. Gu, the car has been parked outside the villa. When will you come out?" Cooper's voice came through the phone.
"We'll be out soon."
"Okay, sir."
"Mary, it's time for us to go," said Barry while raising his eyebrows at Mary.
"Okay." Mary nodded at him. "Alick, Elissa, stay at home tonight. Don't go out. There are bad people outside. Wait for Mommy to come back!"
"Humph!" Elissa pouted. "But it's so boring to stay at home!"
