Chapter 124: The Past
Galen and Neil were stunned for only two seconds, then looked at Sean with wide eyes together, and inhaled hard at the same time. Neil, in particular, sucks so loudly and loudly that it's almost like a fart.
"I thought you thought about it in the first place, but you didn't care." Sean said in a mocking, self-deprecating tone.
That's right, his first official, known and recognized girlfriend, who even learned Italian, Katarina, was Helena's daughter.
The whole thing is simply that because Katerina was born in a single-parent family, she was raised by her mother, so she was independent early and has a lot of personality. Although he had known Sean for a long time, after all, the two were in the same school, and Sean often tidied the lawn for their house, but he never had any other ideas.
Until one day, Caterina accidentally fell while riding her bicycle and broke her knee, and Sean who was passing by helped her do a simple bandage, and then rode her to the hospital. Just such a thing, Caterina was unexpectedly attracted to Sean, so her do-it-all personality made her take the initiative to pursue him.
Sean naturally declined her pursuit because of Helena, but Caterina did not give up so easily, and she was very bold, and would always send an invitation in front of him whenever she had the opportunity. And I don't know where I heard the news, saying that Sean can't see girls sad in front of him the most, and he pretended to be aggrieved several times, which made Sean want to laugh.
So, things are so stuck, Sean doesn't dare to refuse her strongly, otherwise how will he go to her house in the future? Then, this continued until Helena took the initiative to disconnect the relationship between the two.
"Aha, no wonder this guy loves the movie 'The Graduate' so much." Sanders laughed meaningfully.
"That's right, I've been singing the song 'The Sound of Silence' all day long." Galen nodded his head as well.
Sean rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain, they had already decided anyway.
"And there is a mother-love plot, a very strong mother-love complex." Neil added, then narrowed his eyes at the thought of something, and his smile became a little lewd, "By the way, Sean, I remember when you were celebrating the 10th grade school, you and cheerleader Kelly and her girlfriends disappeared from the party for at least 30 minutes, so you and ......"
Hearing this, Sanders and Galen's eyes suddenly widened again, revealing the same lewd smile......
Sean didn't speak, just quietly looked at the beer can in his hand, took a deep breath after a long time, put it on the small round table, and then stood up: "Okay, I'm sleepy, go back and rest first." ”
The three guys didn't say anything like "don't want to escape" or "you must explain clearly", they watched his back disappear into the courtyard in the same silence, and then exchanged glances and shrugged together: That's it.
Of course there is. Sean, who returned to his room and was lying on the bed, looked at the ceiling with his head on his pillow, and sighed deeply. But that's definitely not a good thing.
He does not deny that he and Helena started out of desire, Helena needs the comfort of a man, and he is particularly infatuated because he has had an in-depth communication with a woman for the first time in his previous life - he is still a mature woman whose style and temperament belong to the best choice. But as time goes by, it is natural to have feelings, Helena is not the kind of woman who is dissolute after all, and Sean is a human being, even if he tastes the love of men and women for the first time, he is still rational after all.
Although the two did not talk about the cause of the whole thing, nor did they get to the bottom of each other's lives, they always talked about some topics when they were passionate, literary, entertaining and even fashionable. Sean doesn't know much about the latter topic, but the first two have a lot to talk about, he also read a lot of books at that time, and in his previous life, he only had a general understanding of the entertainment industry, but after all, he had a lot of forward-looking vision, and he could even say a few words about the topic of fashion. This situation, coupled with his ability to coax people, the two hearts are also unconsciously getting closer and closer.
In fact, Sean went to learn Italian more because of Helena than because of her daughter.
Of course, this relationship has been buried in the hearts of the two and has not been actively spoken, and can only be truly felt in the fierce entanglement, because they both know that this deformed relationship cannot be made public and lasting.
So, when Helena learned that her daughter Caterina was chasing Sean, she hesitated and finally took the initiative to cut off their relationship. Sean didn't ask anything after knowing it, and simply accepted her decision, some things don't need to be said. However, neither of them expected that this decision, which seemed to be correct and was actually the right decision, turned out to be bitter.
Feelings are difficult to explain clearly, even if the parties are not necessarily able to understand them, not to mention that they rely on each other. At the beginning, Sean was able to control himself, he got along well with Katarina, and after accepting her, his progress was a rapid progress, and soon everything that should be done was done, and what should not be done was done.
However, after a long time, he began to be restless, especially every time he went to Katerina's house, he would always meet Helena a few times, and even though Sean tried his best to make his expression look normal, the corners of his mouth always felt a little bitter.
Helena is the same, so on the same sunny afternoon, in the same bright and spacious kitchen, Sean, who couldn't control himself and found Helena to tell her old love, finally rolled into a mess again under repeated pushing. Sometimes, the dry firewood that seems to be extinguished but actually sparks inside it will only burn more violently once it is ignited again.
Therefore, the two not only became entangled again, but also intensified, separating after more or less passion, and then Sean kept looking for opportunities to share a bed with her. Although both he and Helena knew that this would only make them fall deeper and deeper, when Sean sneaked over while his parents and sister were away and Caterina was also spending the night at a friend's house, Helena still let him in without refusing anything.
And, although they are usually in the corner, in the small room, in the no-man's land, in the storeroom, they always give the greatest enthusiasm, but when they share the bed, there is basically no physical love, just hugging each other and sharing each other's body temperature.
In this case, the secret will eventually be discovered, even if they are careful enough, and it is none other than Caterina who finds out, and the shocked expression on her face when she sees her boyfriend kissing her mother is indescribable. After all, she has an independent personality and doesn't run out and make a big deal like the characters in ethical novels or movies, but she doesn't hide the anger and hatred in her eyes when she sits down to face Sean and Helena.
The chaotic quarrel was aside, and after learning more about Sean and his mother, especially after he tacitly used her as a substitute for her mother, the psychologically unbalanced Caterina used alcohol and marijuana to plot a revenge. But that didn't make her happy, but neither her mother's numb look nor Sean's inability to face it was after the incident, Caterina couldn't be happy.
In the end, Helena left San Francisco with her daughter, quietly, without notice, and when Sean found out, the building was empty, and there was no way to ask where they went. After that, he lost his soul for several months, until he was scolded by his father and barely picked himself up, but fortunately, everyone thought he was sad for Caterina at that time.
Then, Sean's playboy career began, he was already quite popular with girls, and he was good at coaxing, plus what he learned from Helena, basically there was no girl he couldn't get his hands on, even if it was a school teacher. There are also a lot of upside downs, and there have been times of jealousy, such as after Shuangfei cheerleader Kelly and her best friend, the next day her ex-boyfriend, the captain of the 6-foot-tall American football team, blocked Sean, but unfortunately Sean also has friends and friends, and after a fight, it will be over.
But no matter what, Sean held on to one thing, and he didn't have tears when they left him.
It's just that, even so, Helena's shadow has always been in the deepest part of Sean's heart, and although he buried her, those things have always firmly occupied a corner of his heart. So, when he saw Kate, who was unexpectedly like Helena in style, temperament? After Blanchett, even though he knew that the other party was married, he still couldn't control her hook.
Similarly, he had planned to end his relationship with Naomi that night, but because of the memories of sharing the bed and pillow, coupled with the joys and sorrows he had always shared with Naomi, he forced himself back. The same is true of Jennifer, hidden beneath the open-mindedness is the desire for comfort, just like Helena at the beginning.
Sean knows very well that it is impossible to meet Helena again in this life, so he is so obsessed with her shadow, and finally caused the current situation, but ...... Is this a good or bad situation? Sean, with his hands on his head, could only sigh softly.
When they woke up the next day, neither Galen, nor Saunders, nor Neil mentioned the events of the previous night. The so-called dead friends are friends who know what they can and can't say, and when to say what to say.
Then, for the next two days of the weekend, Sean took Neil around Los Angeles with Galen and Sanders to celebrate their reunion, and then until Wednesday.
"Don't you have to go back, Neil?" Sean has just finished shooting commercials for "Breaking Bad" and Blue Moon Beer, and he can't go to New Zealand for the time being, Peter? Jackson had to cut Haldir's role due to a tight budget, and he was delayed a bit, possibly after the Oscars, so he's quite idle at the moment.
But Neil shouldn't be like that, he's still at Harvard, and he came here because it happened to be a weekend, but the weekend is over, and it's been two more days, and he hasn't gone back, which is very strange.
"Hmm...... There aren't any major classes these days, and it's not a big deal for me to stay here a few more days. Neil snorted haha.
"Really?" Seeing him like this, Sean immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Of course, am I still ...... Okay okay, I say! Seeing him raise his fist, and Galen and Sanders both smiling and surrounding him, Neil had to scream, "I don't want to go down at Harvard!" ”
