Chapter 630 Eva and Alizee

Chapter 630 Eva and Alizee...

Friday, November 3rd.

Liu Jin flew back to Paris and picked up his €10 Goncourt Prize check at the Café Closerie des Lilas.

The 5th, Sunday.

He then went to the city hall to receive the French Academy's Grand Prix for Novels.

Saturday, Monday.

He flew back to New York from Paris.

After another long journey, Liu Jin felt extremely exhausted when he returned home.

Eva isn't home; I don't know where she's gone.

However, Liu Jin didn't care too much.

She's a grown woman, she has her own circle of friends.

It's impossible for Liu Jin to attend to everything.

Most importantly, he was just too tired.

After receiving the Prix Goncourt, he invited a group of friends in Paris to dinner; when he won the Grand Prix de France, it was another gathering.

Two parties in three days, plus travel between Paris and New York.

Even the strongest person can't withstand it.

So when Liu Jin got home, he first played with the two big dogs, then cuddled with the big fat raccoon at home. He didn't even take a bath before collapsing onto the bed and falling fast asleep.

In a daze, he seemed to smell a familiar fragrance.

But it doesn't taste like Eva's.

So he reached out and hugged the person, too lazy to open his eyes, and continued to sleep.

Until someone patted his cheek and called his name.

"Liu Jin, time to eat!"

"Let me sleep a little longer!"

Liu Jin rolled over, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

"Ali, what are you doing here?"

In this time and space, there is only one person who calls him "Six Jin" in that strange tone, and that is Alizee.

Eva calls him 'Amos,' while Mela calls him 'Liu.'

Only Alizee calls him 'Six Jin'.

Alizee sat on the edge of the bed, a gentle smile on her face.

"Didn't you know it was me, yet you hugged me so tightly?"

"No, I just feel the aura is familiar, but... you still haven't told me how you got here."

"Of course, Eva came to me."

"when did you come?"

"I just arrived... and then I saw you come back."

Liu Jin was a little confused at this moment.

No, when did your relationship become so good?
"Ali, is Amos awake yet? Time to eat!"

Eva's voice came from outside.

Immediately afterward, Julie burst through the door and ran in with Adrian. They squatted down by the bed, chuckling as if urging Liu Jin on.

Eva walked in and, seeing Liu Jin's bewildered expression, couldn't help but giggle.

"Let's eat first, then we'll talk!"

She and Alizee each grabbed one of Liu Jin's hands and pulled him out of bed.

"No, what are you guys doing?"

"Okay, okay, I'll confess!"

Eva said irritably, "It's all because of what happened a while ago. I saw you were under a lot of pressure, so I contacted Ali and asked her to come and see you. Her flight arrives in New York today. I thought you'd stay in Paris for a few more days..."

"Why would I linger there? I came straight back after receiving the award."

Liu Jin had also sobered up considerably by this time, and accompanied the two of them to the dining room.

"Oh, there's champagne too?"

"Of course, congratulations on winning the Goncourt Prize and the Academy Prize for Fiction."

"You all know?"

"The New York Times has already reported on this... Six pounds, that's amazing, winning two big awards at once."

Alizee and Eva are both French, so they naturally understand the significance of these two awards.

To celebrate Liu Jin's return from winning the award, Eva even brought out her treasured bottle of Burlington Old Vines Champagne.

"Congratulations, you have six jin (amos)!"

Liu Jin nervously clinked glasses with the two women. Although Eva and Alizee were both beaming, for some reason, he felt a sense of impending doom...

Eva and Alizee, one accompanied him for six years, and the other for five years.

Both of them were aware of each other's existence, and their words were sharp and confrontational, giving the impression of sworn enemies.

They maintained a delicate balance with remarkable tacit understanding.

They tolerate each other's existence, yet never meet.

But today...

Liu Jin downed the champagne in his glass in one gulp, trying to guess Eva's intentions.

He doesn't seem to have been doing anything lately!

A few days ago, when Naomi came to New York, Liu Jin only met her once before hurriedly returning home.

If I had to say there was anything, it would be that he met with Melissa when he returned to Paris last month.

He wanted to contact Melissa when he went back, but unfortunately Melissa wasn't in Paris.

Sean, Mela's brother, said that Melissa went to Provence to relax...

Is it really for a celebration?

Liu Jin was puzzled, but on the surface, he didn't show anything.

"Ali, how are the preparations for your concert going?"

"I'm not sure. I've been mainly exercising lately to improve my physical strength."

When I have free time, I write songs and practice singing... If Eva hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you bought a house.

"I bought the house."

"I don't believe you. Do you even have that much money?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that? I can't afford it, but can you?"

"Hehe, I can afford it!"

In fact, Alizee's income is higher than Eva's.

Her income mainly comes from record sales and concert revenue. As for endorsements, she only has one charity endorsement, which is as the brand ambassador for Ajaccio.

It's not that no brands invited her, but rather that she didn't quite like them.

She's a French pop star after all; second-rate brands aren't good enough for her, while top-tier brands seem a bit lacking in qualifications.

In any case, Alizee is currently in a rather awkward situation.

In terms of income, she is definitely higher than Eva.

However, in terms of commercial value, it is not as good as Eva.

The only advantage she has is her income...

In recent years, Alizée has amassed a fortune of tens of millions through her record sales.

In this respect, Eva is indeed at a disadvantage.

The main issue is that, so far, Eva hasn't shown any ability to carry a film on her own... In fact, even in the original timeline, Eva has always been seen as a pretty face in Hollywood, without any representative works that can carry a film on her own.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you arguing all of a sudden!"

Liu Jin said with dissatisfaction, "Eat, eat."

Eva and Alizee, who had been on good terms just moments before, exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously snorted coldly, ceasing their argument.

……

That night, Liu Jin was forced into the second bedroom.

Eva and Alizee seem to have returned to their sisterly relationship.

Although he had already taken a nap, Liu Jin still felt very tired.

After he arrived at the second bedroom, he collapsed onto the bed and quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a figure sneaked into the second bedroom, and Liu Jin immediately felt a hot body snuggle into her arms.

snorted.

It smells like Eva!

He yawned and, as was his habit, pulled Eva into his arms.
