"It's impossible to be lucky!" Aaliyah just felt that Sean was making fun of her, so she found Olivia and took the girl's hand to the garden to prevent Sean from laughing at her.锧
Sean smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Catherine's visit to the house was something Sean had planned before he left Ocean City to return to New York. Moreover, it was Catherine who brought it up.
After learning that Sean survived and returned from R'lyeh, Catherine tried to contact him. At that time, when the transoceanic line was connected, Sean was a little surprised to hear Catherine's voice. He never thought that Catherine would speak in such a tone: no longer that cold and distant person, he could even hear that she had gone through a very painful stage and was really grateful that she was still alive.
Then, she said she would visit her home when he returned to New Testament. In an unmasked capacity.
It stands to reason that it is best not to interact with the explorers using their true identities, as this is not conducive to confidentiality. But Sean realizes that this is a sign from Catherine: She wants each other to truly enter each other's lives. A push for the future.
Sean knew that it took courage to make such a decision, so he naturally agreed. Even happy about it.
However, Sean felt a little nervous for no reason at the thought of Catherine coming to his home. He was a little confused about his nervousness: you know, "Eternal Night Ark" had never been so nervous when meeting the "Golden Queen".锧
After changing clothes, Sean and Martha decided on the menu for the evening, then looked at the drinks in the refrigerator, rehearsed the evening's arrangements in their minds, and waited quietly until the sun went down.
During this period, Aaliyah deliberately ignored Sean angrily. She knew that Sean was joking with her. She thought that if she ignored him, she would not fall into the trap, so she waited quietly to see who came at night...
It was completely dark. Sean was sitting in the living room watching TV. There was a quiz game on the TV. A young man named Jeff had passed seven levels, and if he answered one question correctly, he would win the grand prize of NZ$2,000... But Sean didn't do it at all. Don't know what's going on on TV. His eyes were on the TV screen, but his attention was all outside the door, and the ectoplasm spread even beyond the block.
coming. His ectoplasm felt a familiar breath coming along the street at a faster speed, so he stood up, took a few breaths, and walked out of the door.
A white Benjamin sedan drove up the slope and parked in the carport he had specially vacated before. Sean walked to the car, turned off the engine, and stepped forward to open the door for the guests.
There was a slight smile on the corner of the red lips: "It's really rude of you to let a lady drive here by herself."
After closing the car door for Catherine, Sean also smiled and said: "I know this lady and know that she likes to do everything by herself."
Katherine pursed her lips and wanted to say something else. Seeing that she seemed to still have an edge, Sean pulled her over and kissed her cheek gently: "Don't test me, Cathy. You've already suffered enough..."
Catherine's eyes widened. She wore a Chanel little black dress tonight, gold earrings, and a cheerful yet restrained perfume. The red lips, the shine of the hair and the color of the eyes were all impeccable. Sean couldn't even take a good look at her figure without his mind spinning.
"Have you had enough of waiting for me? You are the hero who returned from R'lyeh."
"Sometimes you are scarier than Raleye. At least it won't take away my heartbeat."
Catherine stopped, put one hand on her waist, and looked suspiciously: "Are you still the same Sean Dickinson?"
"Why not?"
"The Mr. Dickinson I know is not so good at flirting!"
"Then it seems you have to continue to get to know me..."
Sean did have a strange feeling when he brought this female star into his home.
During the exploration time, everything was covered with a layer of absurdity, so it was not surprising that any bizarre things happened. But in everyday life, even a visit from Catherine has a somewhat magical feel.
Of course, the one who feels more fantastical is Arya Dickinson. When she noticed her brother walking out and a car driving into the house, she ran to the first floor, hid behind the stairs and squinted at the door.
She first heard the sound of talking and laughing, saw her brother who was not very flexible appearing at the door, and then saw an overly bright face, which made her think that the scene that happened at the door should be a scene in a movie.
Katherine Headey? His squinted eyes widened and he blinked again and again.
Sean brought Catherine in and saw his sister hiding behind the stairs like a black cat from a distance. He tilted his head and looked at her: "What are you doing?" Come out?锧
Aaliyah looked at her brother: ...So you're not joking?
not kidding. Come out quickly. I don't want others to think I have a stupid sister.
After the two made eye contact, Aaliyah swallowed her saliva and walked out stiffly.
Smile. Alia, remember to smile! She said to herself, and then tried her best to control her facial muscles to make an expression: "Hi!"
"Aaliyah?" Catherine Headey walked towards him with a smile on her face.
"Yes, I am..." Aaliyah wanted to run away, but she told herself to act normal.
Catherine took her hand. Her fingers were a little rough, but warm.锧
"I have read your poem! I like that one so much - if I had never seen the sun..."
Aaliyah is neither good at getting to know celebrities nor good at handling compliments, so she blushed and was speechless for a moment. She looked at Sean for help, and Sean tilted his head. Aaliyah suddenly knew what to say: "I... also like your movies very much."
"Have you seen it?" Catherine blinked, seeming very happy. Sean found that the Catherine he saw now was not the one he usually saw - in order to make Aaliyah feel comfortable, she could only play the role of the enthusiastic sister. Although this was easy for her as an actress, he was still a little moved.
"Yes, I like watching movies." As he spoke, his face became less hot, "Little Women, Anna Kristen, I've seen them all——
"You did a great job."
Catherine's eyes turned to Sean on the side: "Sweeter than you." Then she took Aaliyah's hand and asked her to take her to sit.
After a few conversations, the atmosphere became warm immediately. Catherine came to this home like a familiar friend. Sean breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous feeling at the beginning had disappeared.锧
Under Aaliyah's introduction, Olivia also joined the "women's meeting", and Sean went to the kitchen to see if Mrs. Martha needed help.
"Mr. Dickinson!" Martha in the kitchen lowered her voice, but still looked very excited, "You are a handsome and graceful gentleman. I have imagined what kind of lady would be opposite you. When I saw it today, It's really... you two are better than I thought."
Sean smiled: "Thanks, Martha."
"Hurry up and accompany the guests!" Martha said seriously, "Leave the kitchen to me——
"It's almost time to eat. The goose stew tonight will be really good..."
