The Greatest Showman - Chapter 235

[234 Delicate and Vivid]

Drake choked up and stood in the same place at a loss. He stood there without any strength to fight back. The warmth and bitterness of his tears completely defeated all defenses, and he was stunned, and the turbulence in his heart devoured him like a beast. ?

His confusion, his loss, his pain, his struggle, his confusion, his loneliness… At this moment, a steady stream of surging, the powerful force of memories dragged him into the bottomless abyss.

If possible, he doesn’t want to break up, he hates breaking up, he still loves her deeply, he still doesn’t want to give up, he still dreams of a happy life for two people, he still believes that they can overcome the gap of distance; but, Love is not a magic weapon to overcome everything. They are both too young, too impulsive, and too selfish. Breaking up was the best decision for both of them at the time. Maybe, time flies, they’ve all matured, they’ve grown up, they’ve all become sensible, and things will be different, but…but…

when Drake saw the happiness in Renly’s eyes, it turned into astonishment. Drake saw the tenderness on Renly’s face and put on the mask, when Drake saw the vividness of the corner of Renly’s mouth losing its vitality… The pain and loss came so overwhelmingly that he couldn’t breathe at all.

Suddenly, he couldn’t tell whether it was Renly or Jacob in front of him, and he couldn’t even tell whether it was Jacob or himself in the story. Time seems to travel back to those moments in memory, real and vivid.

“Ding bell, ding bell”, the phone rang in the studio, Jacob turned around, his eyes fell on the drawing in front of him, his movements seemed to be a little slow, he couldn’t react, and he hesitated whether to stand up and pick it up. The phone, and then Sam walked downstairs quickly, the sound of going downstairs making Jacob turn his head to look over.

Sam was only wearing one of Jacob’s shirts. The wide shirt covered the graceful curves of the upper body, but revealed the seductive lines of long legs. The long sleeves completely covered her palms, which was a bit funny. , and also some sex/sensation.

Sam smiled at Jacob, motioned for Jacob to sit down, and quickly answered the phone, “Jacob Furniture Store, this is Samantha.” Sam sat down and said skillfully, “Hey, hello… no, no, no later than three weeks… ok, okay, remember to tell me…”

Jacob regained his focus, trying to focus on his design, but the pencil’s The trajectory seemed to be out of control. He unconsciously scribbled in the blank space next to the design drawing. Not even the pencil lines were real, only a bunch of imaginary lines, like a mess of yarn.

He knew that he had to concentrate, but he couldn’t concentrate at all. He unconsciously raised his head to look at Sam who was on the phone on the right, but the focus of his eyes kept wandering and he couldn’t find a focus, even the line of his shoulders. It became faintly tense, he raised his left hand and touched the end of his eyebrow, but quickly put it down, fumbled on the drawing paper, and then put it aside…

“Okay, goodbye…”

Sam After hanging up the phone, Jacob shrugged and said actively, “Did they say it can be done within three weeks?” His tone was even impatient, as if he couldn’t wait to join this topic.

“Yes.” Sam saw Jacob’s handsome face, she noticed Jacob’s movements, Jacob couldn’t calm down at all, and his attention was always on her every move, which was a good thing , isn’t it? This shows that Jacob cares about herself, which makes the smile at the corner of Sam’s mouth rise, and she has to bite her lower lip, which prevents her from smiling too proudly and revealing her true emotions.

Jacob was stunned when he saw Sam’s biting his lip. This was Anna’s favorite move. His muscles stiffened, and even his back could feel his tension.

Sam stepped forward, touched Jacob’s cheeks with both hands, looked at the man in front of him carefully, couldn’t help but lowered his head and placed a kiss on the lips, then pressed his forehead against his forehead and rubbed the tip of his nose. The happiness in the tip of the nose and the eyes overflowed like this, “Yes, they always do.”

Then Sam squatted down, looking from the top down to the bottom up, looking deeply at the ray of light in Jacob’s eyes, raised his finger, and frowned Jacob slightly. The eyebrows were gently smoothed, and the fingertips gently touched the corners of Jacob’s mouth, as if depicting it rising up.

Jacob showed a smile, a helpless smile, “I know.” Sam’s eyes were filled with pampering. She wrinkled her nose slightly, a full smile overflowing from the bottom of her eyes, and she whispered. She said, “I still have housework to do, so hurry up and work.” The words with a light rebuke had an indescribable sweetness and intimacy, and then she stood up and walked back to the second floor swayingly. .

Jacob sat on the spot, still keeping the same posture, stunned, raised his head and glanced at Sam; Sam seemed to realize his sight, looked back and smiled, the corner of his mouth hooked reluctantly, and then a little embarrassed He turned around and tried to get back to work. However, he looked at the design drawings in front of him and fell into contemplation, his brain seemed to fall into a blank.

There is no sadness, no surprise, no regrets, not even loss, no emotions at all, just revealing a daze, but in a few strokes, it outlines the loneliness deep inside. Biting.

John Guleserian looked up from behind the camera and glanced at Drake, who was standing next to him. As a photographer, he had to obey the director’s instructions and couldn’t make his own decisions; however, at this time, the scene had been filmed, but Drake still did not respond, and the entire set was waiting for Drake’s instructions, then… … what should be done with this?

John looked left and right, there were only a few people in the crew, he could only bite the bullet and left the camera, came to Drake, patted Drake, and then saw Drake turned his head sharply, Those eyes were filled with hazy tears, and the thick sadness flashed in the tears, and the pain of struggling was so clear.

John couldn’t help being stunned for a while, but still suppressed his inner consternation, “Drake, the shooting of this scene is over.”

Drake paused for a second, and then came back to his senses, “Ka!” The light voice had almost no weight, and the suffocating loneliness and dazedness firmly stuck his throat, but it ended the game after all. The filming work of the play, but the shock in the heart is immersed in the memory and unable to extricate oneself.

It wasn’t until this moment that Drake really understood Renly’s intentions.

In Jacob’s eyes, he still believes that he and Anna are still together, that the warmth of the family comes from Anna, that he and Anna are living a happy life… So, when reality breaks the dream, Jacob’s panic and loss was so obvious it was almost impossible to hide.

Ana is no longer in Los Angeles, and now has Sam by his side, and he has no idea how it all came about. How absurd, how ridiculous, but it really happened.

What’s even more cruel is that Jacob suddenly realized that he and Anna had completely broken up, and he wanted to work hard to get it back, but he didn’t know where to start. The daze brought about by that sense of powerlessness shattered all emotions, leaving nothing but nothingness. He was like a walking corpse who had lost his soul, sitting on the spot in a daze.

So real, so delicate, so turbulent.

Drake, barely able to hide his emotions, turned around and collapsed completely. If he had made a different decision, would the ending have been different; if he had chosen to go to London, would things have been different; if he had been willing to open up his heart to communicate, would it have changed in the future; if…

Countless “ifs” drowned him , the pain is almost silent. Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath again, Drake spit out the dull air in his chest for a long time, wiped the embarrassment on his cheeks, and finally calmed down.

The scene just now brought back memories from many years ago, but in fact, he knew the outcome of the matter. He and she broke up after all. There were too many reasons, but they could not be generalized. Love is really too complicated. But it was precisely because they knew the result that the sigh became more violent

and they couldn’t go back after all.

After his return from London, the result was already doomed, and all subsequent efforts were in vain. However, if he went back in time, he would still make the same decision, go back to London, marry her, and do everything in his power to try to save the future of the two, like a moth to a flame, even if he is scarred and bruised. no hesitation.

She is the only love in his life. Although the two have parted now, he still can’t change the fact: in the rest of his life, he will never love another person like he loved her deeply.

Taking a deep breath again, the mood in his mind still could not be completely calmed down, but he finally stopped being embarrassed. When he turned around, Drake saw Renly and Jennifer standing two steps behind, and even Felicity came over. , standing about three steps away from the side, which startled Drake, “What’s wrong?”

Drake was a little uncomfortable when everyone looked at him, and his most private emotions were displayed like this. Come out, the naked/naked/sense of being seen through the secret is even more embarrassing than taking off/light/clothing. Drake had to cough a few times to hide his embarrassment. There seemed to be a trace of care, embarrassment, and jerky flowing in the silent air. No one knew how to deal with such a situation.

Then, Renly shrugged and said, “We just wanted to ask, how was the scene just now? Do we need to change the way of acting, and the rhythm? You know, you’re the director, and we need to know exactly what’s going on. The answer, otherwise there is no way to continue the following shooting, right?”

Completely professional, respecting Drake’s **. This made Derek stunned for a moment, then nodded with a chuckle, “Yes. That’s right.”8
