The bus slowly stopped at the 80th Street stop.

Link stepped off the bus. The rain was still falling, but it had lessened considerably.

He went to the Costco supermarket at the corner of the street and bought a bouquet of multi-petal tulips, a freshly baked cheese pizza, and some fresh vegetables and fruits. He carried them back to his Yorkville apartment.

After confirming his relationship with Ivanka, the two of them had discussed the issue of accommodation several times.

The first question was whether they should live together.

They both agreed that they should.

Link liked being lively, and having another person in the house would not be so lonely. In addition, living with Ivanka, even if they could not share a bed, would be pleasing to the eye every day.

Ivanka's opinion was that living together would make it easier to talk about work and get to know each other.

The second question was where to live.

Both he and Ivanka had houses in New York.

Her apartment was in the Woolworth Building, also known as the Billionaire Building, facing Manhattan's most prosperous commercial district. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment, one could overlook Wall Street and the Hudson River, treating the most prosperous part of New York as a backyard. The location and scenery were top-notch.

This apartment sold for $22 million in 2003 and is now unavailable even if you have the money.

Link had been to the apartment and seen that the interior decoration was very luxurious, with many works of art displayed, like an art palace.

It came with butlers, cleaners, cooks, security guards, florists, and other supporting staff.

The conditions were very good, and living there was like living in a nobleman's castle.

But for Link, living in that kind of place would feel restrictive. This restriction had nothing to do with his net worth but was a kind of living habit that he could not change for the time being.

He also wanted Ivanka to move into his Yorkville apartment, but the rooms here were too small to accommodate all her clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories.

After discussion, Link proposed buying a villa in the wealthy area of Central Park as a place for them to live together. Of course, he would pay for it, and he did not lack the money to buy a property.

Ivanka agreed and wanted to personally help him look at houses and choose a top mansion for him.

They were currently still looking for a suitable property.

Before the villa was bought, he would live here first, or he could go to Ivanka's place, all according to his wishes.

He opened the apartment door, and the crystal chandelier in the living room lit up, making the whole apartment bright. In fact, the decoration of his apartment could also be called luxurious.

All Italian luxury furniture, solid wood floors, Swarovski crystal lamps, walls were also $500 per square meter of high-end custom wallpaper, Turkish handmade wool carpets, the study and living room also had many oil paintings and sculptures, although not antiques, but also were priced at more than a few thousand dollars of genuine goods.

When he got this apartment, he planned to make it a love nest with Taylor, spending more than eighty thousand dollars on the decoration, and even specially reserved a baby room, but nothing came of it.

Thinking about it made him angry.

Link came to the kitchen with the yellow paper bag, put the newly bought things into the refrigerator, filled the empty fruit plate, and put the tulips into several vases on the counter.

Ding dong~ Ding dong~

The phone on the counter rang. It was Ivanka calling.

"Eva, what's up?"

Link held the phone and wiped the water stains on the counter with a rag.

"Has Emma Watson left yet?"

Ivanka asked in a light voice.

"No, she went back to the set to film in the afternoon and will probably leave around noon."

"Come to the Woolworth apartment this afternoon. I bought some seafood and plan to cook in the apartment. What do you think?"

"You're going to cook yourself?"

"Yes, I've also learned to cook, but I don't do it often. I want to try it."

"Sounds good."

Link smiled softly and told Ivanka that he would also go to the company in the afternoon, and they would meet there.

Ivanka agreed and told him to be careful when sending Emma away, so as not to be photographed by the paparazzi.

Link twitched the corner of his mouth and said he understood.

Emma Watson was recently filming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)" in the United States.

The film started shooting in February, with production locations in the UK and the US. In March and April, they filmed in the UK, and in May, Emma moved to the US with the crew. In between, she went to Paris to fool around with him for two days.

These days, the 'private video infringement case' was sentenced, and Emma also took leave to come to New York to attend the press conference, celebration party, etc. After the cocktail party, she quietly came to his apartment with him.

Ivanka also knew about this, but she never paid any attention to it.

Now that she mentioned it, he felt a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain.

Putting down his phone, Link went to the bedroom, turned on the corner lamp by the bed, and under the blanket on the big bed, a petite figure curled up.

"Emma, do you want to get up? If you get up later, I'll cook later."

Link shouted.

Emma Watson blinked her curved eyelashes, stared at him for two seconds, and suddenly pulled up the blanket to cover half of her face.

"Don't look, I'm not wearing makeup."

"It's okay, I've seen you without makeup, you're beautiful."

Link pinched her cheek. 

Emma Watson was only twenty years old, with fair and delicate skin, and a delicate face. Only a few brown freckles on both sides of her nose made her look less perfect, but the rest of her features were quite good.

She had a petite figure and supple skin, which, combined with her British ladylike temperament, showed a different kind of beauty from American actresses like Anne Hathaway and Megan Fox, and this was her unique charm.

"You go out first too, I need to get dressed." Emma said, hiding under the blanket.

"Alright!"

After breakfast was ready, Emma also finished washing up and walked into the dining room from outside.

She wore a blue dress, revealing her delicate collarbones and fair arms. Her long golden brown hair had just been washed and was a bit fluffy, making her face look even smaller, only the size of a palm.

"It smells so good, did you make all of this?" Emma asked, looking at the breakfast on the table.

There was cheese and ham pizza, fruit salad, two bowls of seafood chowder, bread, and fried eggs, all emitting a wonderful aroma.

"Except for the pizza, I made everything else. Try it!" Link said, putting down the plate.

Emma tasted the seafood chowder, nodded her chin, and said it was delicious.

Link handed her a piece of bread and fruit jam.

The two of them chatted while eating.

Emma asked if he and Taylor had really broken up.

Link said yes.

Emma asked if he blamed her for kissing him in the dressing room, which led to their breakup.

Link said no, the fault of breaking up with Taylor was his own inability to control his lower body, and had little to do with Emma. The video was at most a trigger.

Emma then asked what his relationship with Ivanka was.

Link directly told her that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

During the trial these days, he and Ivanka often went in and out together. Although they had not officially announced it, some media had speculated that they were a couple.

Emma felt a little disappointed when she heard this.

Link did not comfort her and asked about her recent work arrangements.

Emma said that after finishing "Harry Potter," she planned to enter Hollywood and develop her career in the United States.

Recently, she also accepted a literary film script called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," directed by Stephen Chbosky, the director of "Rent."

There was a role in it that was very suitable for him, and she asked if he wanted to try it and collaborate once.

Link thought for a moment, he didn't have much impression of this script, but he didn't refuse either, saying that he would make a decision after reading the script.

While eating breakfast, Emma's assistant called and said she would come to pick her up in an hour and asked her to get ready in advance.

Emma heard that she was leaving soon and was very reluctant, saying she wanted to do it again.

Link didn't disappoint her.

He held her and did some aerobic exercise in the dining room.

He also released all the pent-up energy he had accumulated on the bus.

During the exercise, he told Emma that he was not a good man, that he had a girlfriend but still cheated, and that he was a real playboy.

And she was a good girl, she should have her own life, continuing to be entangled with him would not do her any good.

Emma leaned in his arms and said she didn't mind.

Last year, she also tried dating other boys.

But when getting along with those people, she couldn't help but compare them to him.

She found that the gap between those people and him was even bigger than the gap between humans and apes, boring and dull.

She wanted to continue dating him, even if it was just as a lover.

Link heard her words and was originally a little proud.

But when he thought of another woman, that little bit of pride instantly disappeared, and the anger in his body surged out.
