Chapter 2489

"Langley, I need to go back to Manhattan."

Matthew calmly stated his decision, not to ask for opinions, but to announce the result. He had no way to continue such nonsense. His patience had reached the limit. If he didn't show his position, he was afraid that the farce would not end. He needed to say "no" to lenley quickly.

At this time, it was already afternoon.

All morning, they were busy, from New Jersey back to New York, and from New York back to New Jersey:

First I went to Brooklyn to buy some paintings by local artists, and then I went shopping in Queens flea market; Lunch was settled in Long Island. According to the guide of lonely planet, they found an authentic Cuban family restaurant and tasted the local beef——

During this period, I also met several suspected smugglers who mistakenly thought they were "guests". Although the misunderstanding was soon clarified and no further accidents were caused, it is likely that they were Italian smugglers of cigars. Once they were involved, things would be more troublesome.

Then he returned to a second-hand furniture market in New Jersey. After about two hours, he returned to Manhattan.

Don't want to, on the way home, blue Li changed his mind, ready to continue north, toward Boston.

Matthew realized that it had to end here.

Lanli turned his head and looked at Matthew carefully. He could see that Matthew was on the verge of explosion. In silence, he could feel the heavy low pressure coming on his face. But lanli still didn't ask, just nodded and said, "OK. I see

Matthew was a little relieved.

"Then you can put me down here, I can ride all the way to Boston." Langley said calmly, looking even a little expectant. "I was ready to try hitchhiking before. This is the most interesting part of American road travel. Hippies do it. Now I can finally try it."

Matthew turns his head to look at Lan Li, but he doesn't get a response. This makes him bite his teeth secretly. He doesn't say much. When he turns the steering wheel, he pulls over and stops.

Lanli opened the car door, left the co driver's seat cleanly and waved to Matthew, "work smoothly, don't work overtime tonight."

With that, Lan Li closed the door, then turned around and started.

Matthew ignored lanli, released the handbrake and walked away.

Anger, bubbling in the blood vessels, irritability and chagrin interwoven emotions are burning. Repressed and repressed, controlled and controlled, but ultimately failed; He raised his head and glanced in the rearview mirror. Then he could see that lanli was really holding up on the side of the road.

The problem is, it's going in the wrong direction——

He is going to the north, but now he is facing the south, and the road has not changed. Even people who can't distinguish the southeast and northwest want to take a ride along the road? Or is he going to see what it's like to read the headline of tomorrow's newspaper saying, "Langley hall has been dumped in the wilderness"?

damn!

Damn it! Damn it!

damn!

Matthew slammed on the brakes, put into reverse gear, backed all the way back, and returned to lanli. He stopped and opened the co pilot's window.

"In the opposite direction!"

Lan Li didn't know, so, "what?"

"You should be on the other side of the road. The opposite direction is for Boston. This is the way back to Manhattan." Matthew had to explain.

"Oh. Thank you Lan Li was full of enlightenment and said briskly. Then he looked around and was ready to cross the road.

Patience.

But Matthew could not endure any longer. He opened the car door and walked down. All his anger erupted like a volcano.

"Why?"

Matthew raised his voice and said, which made blue Li stop. He just kept his eyes on blue Li, "why do you deliberately provoke me today?"

"According to the schedule, don't you fly to Los Angeles today? The music festival will start tomorrow, but what are you still doing in New York? Isn't that what you've been waiting for and preparing? You should arrive at the scene. It's the result of the hard work of countless people. "

At the beginning, the voice can still keep calm, just expounding his own irritability, but when he said that, his mood completely ran out of control without warning.

"Why do you want to direct me to do these meaningless stupid things? You know I have a job! I have a morning meeting! I have another important meeting waiting! I still have a lot of work to do! You should have supported me, Langley. You should have supported me more than anyone else. Why? Why are you constantly challenging my bottom line today? You shouldn't use me like this again and again. "

With that, Matthew turned and walked toward the driver's seat, opened the door, and was ready to sit in. But thinking about it, he couldn't help going back.

"You shouldn't be so headstrong, Sebastian! You should know that I will not always be by your side, I will not! Neither will Rooney! Neither Edith nor Arthur! One day, we will all leave! We're all going to die! In the end, you're the only one left! "

"You should learn to take care of yourself, understand? You should... You should learn to organize your life, you can't always put hope on other people! We can't accommodate you forever, understand? Even Rooney, even me, we have no obligation to accommodate you forever. We also have our own life, we also have our own difficulties, we also have our own setbacks and pain, and we will all leave in the end. "

"What if... What if Paul left like Heather? What if I disappear tomorrow? And what about you? What should you do? "

"You can't... Sebastian, you can't... You can't place all your trust on us, you'll get hurt, we'll get hurt, you need to rely on yourself. You can't just rush into my office and ruin my meeting and my day. "

"I... we won't stay where we are forever."

Matthew, it's out of control.

In this way, he completely out of control, like a child yelling, no logic, no ideas, repeatedly repeated his own words are not clear, the slightly trembling voice behind the leakage of his pain and struggle, red eyes filled with despair of bitterness.

"But I will always be where I am." Lan Li was not embarrassed, not only not angry or embarrassed, but also showed a shallow smile.

Matthew looked at lenley and shook his head. "No, you won't, I won't, no one will. You shouldn't make a promise that you can't fulfill. Sebastian, you're smarter than that. You know it never exists. You can't believe it yourself

Shallow tears blurred his vision, but Matthew took a deep breath, and all the tears disappeared completely, refusing to surrender to weakness. "Heather won't come back, she'll never come back, understand? It's a fact that you can't change, so you shouldn't make that commitment. "

Blue Li gently jaw head, "I know."

Matthew stood in the same place and looked at him quietly. All his irritability and anger slowly subsided. Instead, he was sad and helpless. The vulnerability in his eyes was trembling slightly. At last, he whispered, "Sebastian, I need help."

"I know." "So, I'm here," he whispered again In this way, lanli met Matthew's eyes and called out, "Charles, I've been here all the time and never left, just like you."

Matthew can feel the temperature in lanli's eyes. He slowly closed his eyes to hide his embarrassment and embarrassment. But all his disguises are falling apart and he can't hold on any longer. A destructive force suddenly pulled him out of the darkness of self pity.

Then he was forced to start looking at his wounds.

Hetter Wesley, dead.

Hatter Wesley, the Dunlop housekeeper, died three days ago in his sleep after a heart attack.

This morning, when Langley called Alexander Hamilton at Newark Airport to express his thanks, Alexander mentioned it - Henry Dunlop and Alexander mentioned it. He called Matthew to ask if Matthew would like to return to London to attend Hatter's funeral. Matthew refused.

"Because there is still work at hand, please express my grief to the Wesleyans." This is Matthew's original words, but Henry is obviously not satisfied with Matthew's perfunctory.

Originally, Langley needed to go to Los Angeles today, and then drive to Indio, because the Pioneer Village Music Festival will officially open tomorrow; But after learning the news, lanli cancelled his ticket, turned around and returned to New York, and rushed to Matthew's law firm for the first time.

Because Langley knew something was wrong——

Matthew didn't talk to him about Haite or even talk to him; Matthew did not return to London, still burying himself in heavy work.

Matthew is escaping from reality.

Lanli himself experienced it, and he clearly understood what kind of emotion it was. It was too complicated to describe, but it was still lingering.

As a result, lanli takes the initiative to keep Matthew on the run, trying to get him out of the paralysis of his work. He also tries to keep Matthew busy and forget the sadness temporarily. Most importantly, he tries to make Matthew open up to himself. He knew that Matthew needed his own company.

Matthew just stood in the same place, his whole brain was like a mess, countless thoughts were turbulent and intertwined, and his deep fatigue made him unable to think.

Slowly reopening his eyes, Matthew saw lanli standing not far away, looking around the road carefully, which made him feel a little relieved, but he was not ready for the moment. He didn't want to discuss the elephant in the room, but he didn't know what to discuss.

"What's next? Are you really going to Boston? " Matthew asked in a hoarse voice, feeling tired from the bottom of his heart.

"Maybe we don't have to go to Boston. I think it's a good neighborhood. There's a hiking trail where we can explore." Lanli really stepped forward in this way.

Matthew looked down at his shoes, not knowing how to respond.
