"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about them for the time being. The previous arrangement remains the same. I will talk about the details when I go back." Although Adam lamented the boldness of the California Times, it didn't matter much to Adam no matter what choice they made, after all As long as he can continue to expand his influence during the serialization of his novel, that would be the best. When the serialization is over, what is the relationship between their life and death and Adam?

"Okay, boss." Lydia nodded yes, and then continued to say the next thing: "The big sale of "The Witcher" has attracted the attention of HarperCollins, and they have contacted me, hoping that we can make "The Witcher" "Leave it to them for publication. Is it possible that they are even willing to continue to make concessions on royalties this time?"

"Oh?" Adam didn't expect that this action would have another benefit, which he didn't expect, but "The Witcher" has only been serialized for four chapters, and it has set off such an exaggerated trend. It is conceivable that this is another book that can shock thousands of people. It is a super bestseller with tens of thousands of sales, and more importantly, this novel will definitely be a fantasy series. Compared with "Jurassic Park", the sequel is more appealing.

"Tell them not to worry, just say that I am very grateful for their importance to the novel, but I will talk to them in person when I go back." This novel, which has sold tens of millions of dollars, is worth millions of dollars at one point, which is not a small amount of money.

"Okay, boss, I will tell them what you said today." Lydia agreed, remembering this matter in her heart.

"Is there anything else?" Adam felt a little thirsty after talking for so long, and thought that Carol should get up too, so he had no interest in talking. Anyway, there was no important news. What does it matter.

"No, that's about it. In addition, your house in the small town has been renovated and is ready to move in at any time." Lydia heard Adam's impatient tone, so she mentioned one last thing, Then he stopped talking, since other things are trivial anyway, he can solve them by himself without bothering Adam.

"Okay, I got it, that's it." Adam nodded. Before he left, he heard that the renovation of the house had been finished. He didn't expect it to be completed in just ten days, much faster than he imagined. Many, if you go back in the future, you don't have to worry about having no place to discuss matters. The only regret is that mother Catherine still has no idea of ​​​​living in.

"Boss, pay attention to safety on the road." Lydia warmly instructed, this is her long-term meal ticket in the future, nothing can happen, it will not be easy for her to find another boss with such a good temper and a bright future.

Although she has always wondered why these rich people are always so restless, wouldn't it be nice to go out and relax and find a beach on a small island after earning money?I always play with these dangerous moths. If something happens, it will be a big loss. I earn so much money, it is too late to spend, and it is all at the expense of others. I don’t know if I will have such good luck in my next life.

……

After finishing the phone call with Lydia, Adam looked at the heavy rain outside and took two long breaths, feeling refreshed.There was still half a month of journey ahead, originally planned to drive to New York State, then Adam and Carol flew back, and the car was checked and returned to California.

After all, even Carol is exhausted after such a long time of tossing around, especially when he has to take care of Adam on the road, for fear that he will feel uncomfortable. Although Adam tries his best to help, he doesn't have a driver's license and doesn't exercise often It would be great if he could do it without burdening him. Adam, who accompanied Carol on the journey this time, played the most important role in giving Carol company during the long journey, so that he would not be too lonely and boring. .

Thinking that the time was almost up, Adam went to the counter and ordered a pot of coffee and bread. Although the taste was definitely not very good, it was good to eat something during the journey. How can we be picky?

When Adam returned to the room with his things, it was almost eight o'clock. He opened the door and saw that Carol was already awake, sitting on the head of the bed and watching Adam come in with his things, and was about to get up.

"Don't move." Adam said hurriedly, poured a cup of coffee for each of them and took a small basket of bread, carried them on the small table in the room, and put them on the bed.

"It's raining heavily outside today, take a good rest. You got wet in the rain yesterday, and you must be tired from driving for another day." Adam sat beside him, kissed the corner of his lips, and said softly.

"Thanks, you moved me so much that my heart melted." Carol brought her face closer and rubbed against Adam's, because the travel was too full and he didn't trim his beard every day, and the stubble that grew up hung on Adam's face A little itchy.

"Hmm. You'd better go brush your teeth, and then we'll have breakfast together." Adam said with a look of disgust, turning his face away and frowning.

Carol retracted slightly injured, snorted at himself, then glanced at Adam resentfully, bit the tip of Adam's nose viciously, saw Adam frowning, and then happily got out of bed wash up.

Adam is leaning against the head of the bed to catch up on a little sleep. In fact, Adam has always been a bit sleepy, and he always has to live in a place for a few days before he gets used to sleeping peacefully. Therefore, he has not slept soundly since the beginning of the journey. The reason why he got up so early in the morning.

Maybe he was really sleepy. When Carol returned to the room, he was a little confused, but he woke up immediately when he heard the sound. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Carol's concerned eyes. Some embarrassedly greeted: "Hey."

"Hey, I just wanted to move the table, but I didn't expect to wake you up." Carol said apologetically.

He has always been very clear that Adam is not interested in traveling, and it is all because of him that he has persisted. He is very happy and touched that Adam can be by his side, so since Adam joined, in order to take care of Adam, he I slowed down the schedule and took care of almost everything along the way, but seeing the burnout on Adam's face, I still felt a lot of guilt in my heart.

"It's okay, if you go to sleep, you can only have lunch." Adam said in a hoarse voice: "Come here, let's eat together. Although the coffee and bread here are a bit bad, it's okay to fill your stomach."

Carol was not pretentious, walked to the bed, sat down next to Adam, kissed Adam's lips, took a sip of coffee, indeed the coffee here is very sour and relatively strong One point, it doesn’t have the aroma of our own, but it’s within the acceptable range. After all, Adam has only been here for about ten days. Before Adam came, he traveled alone for more than a month, and he had a long-term trip alone in California earlier. Time travel, so he's not fussy.

The two ate breakfast quietly, Carol moved things aside, and then they leaned on each other on the bed and chatted some gossip, Carol asked, "Did you talk to Lydia on the phone?"

"Well, I woke up a little early in the morning. I thought I hadn't contacted her since I came out, so I gave her a call." Adam nodded and said.

"Is the serialization of your novel going well?" Carol asked with some concern. Although he didn't like it very much, Adam was too workaholic and often forgot to rest because of work, but he still respected and interested in his work.

"The results exceeded my expectations. I originally planned to put it on the market around Thanksgiving at the same time as last year's "Jurassic Park". Now it seems that in order to get good results, we have to do it as soon as possible." Adam said Happily but helplessly said.

Of course, I am happy because the performance of the novel has far exceeded expectations. Unfortunately, after accompanying Carol to New York this time, I have to discuss the publication of the novel with the HarperCollins people first, and I can't go back until it is resolved.

"That's good, so you can rest assured." Although I don't know why Adam is always so urgent, there are always endless things and tasks to do every day, as if there is a whip behind him to beat him all the time, urging him , not letting him stop for a moment.

Obviously "Jurassic Park", a super bestseller with over ten million, is enough to make him spend his whole life without worrying, but he doesn't seem to have seen it at all. This time, the novel of "The Witcher" is like his first book. Carroll remembered that when Adam first talked about the novel "The Witcher" with him in the small town, his eyes seemed to light up, even more so than when he wrote "Jurassic Park" last year. Excited.

Although he couldn't understand the excitement and thoughts of creating, Adam was the one he loved deeply, so as long as Adam liked and wanted to do, he would always support him.

Adam rested his head on Carol's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Well."

Whether it was finishing "Jurassic Park" last year or "The Witcher" this time, every time Adam finished a book, he always felt inexplicably empty and uncomfortable. Every day he didn't create, for him It sounds like a waste of time.

Even during this long journey, he has already thought about countless interesting themes, as well as the follow-up development of the second novel of "The Witcher". There is always nothing to say, and then I just drive on various roads non-stop.

Adam doesn't hate this kind of blank time, he can empty his mind, think wantonly, all kinds of absurd ideas, all kinds of unrestrained delusions, anyway, he doesn't have to catch them all, just find an interesting one.

Carol kissed the top of Adam's head and said softly, "It's great that you can be by my side."
