The bathroom, which was already dim, became even dimmer when it was full of water vapor, but this did not affect the flickering light of the candle. In fact, this dim candlelight actually added a lot of atmosphere to the room.

Accompanied by the occasional buzzing sound, it gives people a quiet and distant feeling.

Ding, the sound of glasses clinking was heard, the champagne in the glass swayed several times, entered the mouth with the tilted glass, and then slid down the throat.

"How about it? The taste of Ligolfier is a little lighter than that of Perrier-Jouët, but the feeling in the mouth is very good." Charlize, who was leaning on Sean's shoulder, said in a lazy tone, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly and his eyebrows raised.

He also looked satisfied and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Okay, let's count you right this time." Sean said after tasting it.

"Sorry, please explain what temporary means." Charlize immediately asked dissatisfied.

"In a literal sense, I can think so for the time being." Sean answered seriously, "Any questions?"

"That is to say, you can always think that what I said is wrong as long as you want?" Charlize turned her head and narrowed her eyes. Her playful eyes seemed to say: Your behavior of not admitting that you are wrong,

It's complete chauvinism.

"No, I think what I mean is that people are different. My feelings cannot represent you, and your feelings cannot represent me." Sean raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat naughty smile.

Feel.

"...Cunning little villain." Charlize snorted after looking at him for a while.

Immediately, the two hugged each other and began to feel tender again.

After a long while, Sean, who was reluctantly sniffing her hair, spoke again: "Are you feeling better now?"

There was no response, but the body in his arms twisted a bit, and Sean asked. After a while, Charlize finally spoke up: "Sorry, Sean, I shouldn't lose my temper with you, I'm... too sensitive."

"

From the time Sean walked in until now, they basically haven't talked about the previous things, and they only talked about normal topics. Now, after lingering in the bathtub, she took the initiative to bring it up, and I have to say that it made Sean a little worried, because you...

…

"This is normal. Generally speaking, if you have been hurt when you were a child, you will be very sensitive." Sean persuaded carefully, while his heart was filled with a wry smile.

You know, until Charlize pulled him into the bathroom to take off her clothes, he didn't really believe that she would really go to bed with him. When he agreed on the phone before, he thought she was giving up on herself and wanted to comfort her in person.

Take this opportunity to relax the previous incident. It would be better if the impact can be eliminated and the relationship between the two can be restored to what it was before this incident.

It's not that he doesn't want to sleep with Charlize. He has said it several times before that as a man, it is definitely a beautiful thing to spend the night with a beautiful woman like her. It's just that Sean never expected that Charlize

She actually meant it, she started teasing her as soon as he walked in, and she didn't mean to hide it at all, so he just took advantage of it.

Now, after all the lingering, she said such words, which inevitably gave him the feeling that she actually wanted to use this method to end things, which was definitely something he didn't want to see.

Charlize didn't answer. Although she tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes looked through him into the distance with memories. After a moment, she suddenly spoke: "My mother killed my father."

This sentence was so sudden and shocking that Sean couldn't recover for a moment, but subconsciously replied: "Are you kidding?"

Fortunately, he reacted immediately, but he couldn't hide his surprised look: "I'm sorry, Charlie, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

"It doesn't matter, I know," Charlize smiled, "I didn't smoke marijuana, and I'm not defenseless. What's more, we are still so 'direct' now, so you don't have to worry about me jumping up because of my sensitivity."

The sullen expression flashed across Sean's face, and then he looked like he was relieved: "That's great, I was always worried that you would kick me out of the bath."

Unfortunately, this failed to make the other party laugh. Charlize once again fell into the same look of memories as before. Occasionally, a trace of inexplicable pain flashed through his eyes: "That was the worst memory in my life. My father was an alcoholic and often drank too much.

He was very drunk. That day when he came back drunk, my mother was angry and had a big quarrel with him. He actually took a shotgun and wanted to kill us. My mother took me and hid in the bedroom, originally thinking that he would vent his anger outside.

He left, but he actually fired! Knowing that his wife and daughter were inside, he actually fired outside! In panic, my mother took advantage of him leaving to find bullets, pulled out her pistol and chased him out.

...Then the gunshot rang out, and when I went out, my father was already lying in a pool of blood..."

The further she spoke, the stronger the vibrato in her voice became, and her body began to tremble violently, as if even the pool of hot water could not drive away the chill in her heart.

"It's okay, Charlie, it's okay," Sean quickly put her body in his arms, hugging her tightly, trying to pass on his body temperature to her, "This happened a long time ago, it's already

I can’t hurt you anymore, you are very strong.”

Charlize closed her mouth and eyes, and just shrank in his arms. After a long time, she breathed out: "Thank you for listening to me, Sean."

"It's my honor to be the person you vent to." Sean said with a double entendre.

He was referring not only to the present, but also to what she had yelled at him that night, and at the same time, he also alluded to the lingering moment in the bathtub before.

Charlize heard the meaning of his words and immediately looked at him and snorted: "I didn't say that I was angry with you because of this."

"Of course, of course, I know," Sean said immediately, "Because I smoked too much marijuana at that time, I couldn't control myself, so I remember to... um... smoke less in the future."

"It's not because of marijuana," Charlize said calmly, "I'm telling you this because I want to explain what has created my current sensitive, closed, and insecure personality."

"This is normal," Sean was silent for a moment, "Everyone has their own things that they don't want to face. I understand - let me tell you something about me."

He organized the words in his mind, and then took a deep breath: "I remember I told you that because I was relatively precocious, I hated my father's interference in my life, so I didn't have a good relationship with him. Actually,

It's just not that good, it was pretty bad for a while, how bad is it?"

He paused for a moment, with a look of recollection in his eyes: "It's so bad that I have practiced it in my head countless times. If he interferes with my affairs again next time, I will yell at him: Convert all your investments into money."

, No matter how much it is, hundreds of millions, billions or tens of billions, I accept it. From now on, I will pay off the mortgage every month for the rest of my life. Then, take this money and get out of my life!"

"A terrible statement," Charlize commented.

"It was indeed terrible, but it was also a true portrayal of my heart at that time." Sean was in a daze, not knowing which father he was talking about. "But I didn't yell out in the end. After all, it was my father, so I could only speak intermittently."

I had a cold war with him. Of course, my pain cannot be compared with yours. I just want to say that time is the best healing medicine. As long as you don’t think about it and no one teases it, it will eventually heal.”

"Thank you, Sean, I forgot this is the first time I've said thank you to you tonight." Charlize was silent for a few seconds and smiled again, "You are indeed a man who is very good at comforting women, and this

That’s another thing I want to say tonight.”

She suddenly sat up and turned around to look at him: "As I said just now, I am a very sensitive person. Coupled with the series of things I encountered after coming to Hollywood, it is easy to think the worst about things.

So, when we were talking about a certain topic that day, I made a bad judgment call."

"You mean... you mean..." Sean's expression became strange. Although he had a guess, he still didn't quite believe it.

"Yes," Charlize nodded, "I have feelings for you, very much, very much."

As she said that, she laughed: "I have to say, you are really good at dealing with women, Sean. At first, I just wanted to chat with you for a few words, but I got into it without knowing it, and then

Slowly I started chatting with you more... Then, I started to like this feeling. I liked talking about topics that are usually difficult to talk about without restraint. I liked listening to your complaints and teasing you. That made me very happy.

A sense of accomplishment.”

Charlize sighed: "Until one day, we started chatting about a topic about men and women, whether men and women can just be friends. In my opinion, the answer is no, so I suddenly discovered,

Our previous relationship seemed wrong..."

"Then the defense mechanism in your heart was activated. You thought for the first time that I was deceiving you?" Sean said as an excuse.

Although Charlize didn't answer, the look in his eyes clearly said: Yes, that's it.

With a wry smile, Sean couldn't blame her, especially after hearing her confession tonight, he could only sigh.

"So...what is it for now?" Although he was a little embarrassed, he still asked.

"If you have a prediction, you need evidence," Charlize replied.

Well, it is indeed Charlize's style to seek evidence in this way.

"Then the result..." Sean made meaningless gestures with his hands. Although he seemed to remain calm, there was still a hint of nervousness.

Charlize couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I just said, I have feelings for you, very much, very much."

As she spoke, she showed a sly expression: "Besides, you seem to be very sensitive."

"That's because I was grabbed by your hand...hiss!" Sean originally wanted to say this expressionlessly, but before he could finish speaking, he was pinched.

He had no choice but to smile bitterly: "So, what are you going to do?"

"I have already apologized to you, and you have accepted my apology, so of course I will keep it," Charlize said in a matter-of-fact tone, "If no one wants us in ten or twenty years, then

It’s time to get married.”
