Charlize turned around and stood there and took a few deep breaths, making her anger burn again, but her thoughts became extremely clear. She knew that Hugo's statement was wrong. She did not want to get back together. All she needed was a rest, a formal rest.

So, Charlize took another step and walked back along the original route. Before he could walk far, Charlize saw Stewart coming towards him with a calm face. Seeing each other, the two of them gradually slowed down and finally stopped completely. The two stood on the tree-lined path, standing face to face about ten steps away from each other.

"So, you're back." Stewart looked at Charlize and showed a light smile, looking so familiar, with that familiar warmth, like a perfect gentleman, courteous and gentle.

Many people say that Hugo is a gentleman, but it is not the case, Stewart is. This reminds Charlize of Hugo's nickname for him: Mr. Perfect.

Charlize showed a sarcastic sneer, lowered his eyes slightly, kicked the stone on the ground, and his anger was still burning in his chest, but he did not lose control, but looked at Stewart calmly, "So, do you have anything to say?" Charlize didn't want to question, she only gave Stewart one chance and then drew a rest sign.

Stewart seemed not surprised by Charlize's attitude. He stood calmly and outlined a light smile, without deliberately pleasing or excessive sensation, but just looked at Charlize gently and quietly. His steady but scorching eyes were so beautiful that it was in the late night moonlight that it was hard to see.

Charlize once thought that he would be extremely excited to see these eyes again. In fact, the same was true just now, but now when he saw these eyes again, Charlize was extremely calm. Instead, the corners of his mouth were outlined, and the anger in his heart was calming down bit by bit. This feeling was really wonderful.

"I came back this time because I had two auditions in New York. I will stay in Los Angeles for a while later. This time I received a film appointment. I will probably stay in Los Angeles for a long time." Stewart did not rush to defend his behavior, but explained his current situation first. He originally thought Charlize would mock him, but she did not. She still just looked at him quietly, as if listening to all the explanations carefully, which made Stewart feel a little nervous, but he still let out a sigh of relief to calm his irritability.

"I think I won't go back to London for the time being," Stewart said with a smile. "I worked hard in London for more than a year and learned a lot. Do you know? I filmed three dramas there, and then rolled in the East End of London for the rest of the time. I even became the protagonist of a stage play. I performed for six months and two quarters in two seasons. It was a wonderful experience. Not only did I have completely different experiences, but I also realized different things. As expected, it was not that easy to become an excellent actor."

Charlize listened quietly, slightly lit his chin, as if what Stewart said was completely insignificant,

This made Stewart's heart tight, but he had no other choice but to continue to say, "Last year, I was under great pressure. I always felt that my acting career encountered a wall, and there were walls on all sides. I couldn't make a breakthrough. No matter how hard I struggled or tried, I couldn't see any hope. That feeling almost suffocated me." Stewart recalled the previous period, and his whole emotions couldn't help but darken. His gloomy face was filled with a trace of struggle and was so fragile that it was suffocating under the moonlight.

"Your career is developing well, this is a good thing, I am happy for you. Believe me, I have never been jealous of you, because I know that you can get to this point and have made efforts that others don't know." Stewart's words finally broke Charlize's calm. She shook her head sneered, which made Stewart pause and cast an inquiring sight.

Charlize said mockingly, "Don't say it as if you have been there all the time, nor do you say it as if you know me so much, because you are not."

The harsh words made Stewart's chest block, as if he didn't recognize Charlize in front of him. His eyes fell on Charlize, looking at Charlize's terrible special makeup at this time, as if she had been deviled, which made his eyes start to struggle, and the pain in his chest begins to turn over.

Charlize noticed Stewart's eyes, which made her feel a little awkward. She still didn't like to appear in front of Stewart in such an outfit. She hoped that their meeting would be bright and beautiful again, and then she would tell him condescendingly in the manner of a queen: I don't need you anymore. At this time, Stewart's eyes made Charlize a little panicked, but when he remembered Hugo's words just now, Charlize felt a little funny, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up again.

Stewart could feel the huge gap between him and Charlize, not only the distance in physical space, but also the distance in psychological space, just like a grand canyon between two people, which is impossible to cross at all.

Stewart couldn't help but walk two steps forward, trying to get closer to the two of them, "I thought about talking to you, but that was too difficult. I don't want my confusion to restrain your pace of progress, let alone make you feel guilty for worrying about my career. I know that time is very important to you. During the filming period, you have been under tremendous pressure, so I didn't say anything."

"So, you mean, I still need to thank you?" Charlize asked back, venting his anger and ridicule towards Stewart.

"You know I didn't mean that." Stewart moved two steps closer again, but just five steps away from Charlize's footsteps, but his footsteps stopped completely because Charlize's angry eyes prevented him from moving forward. "I mean, I know I made the wrong choice at the beginning, and I made the stupidest choice. Now, I'm back..."

"You're back? So?" Charlize looked at Stewart in disbelief, as if he was telling the funnyest joke in the world.

"I just don't want us to end like this..." Stewart looked at Charlize earnestly, his face full of sincerity.

But Charlize shook his head gently, "Stu, it's you who made things like this." The burning anger in his heart seemed to be unable to vent. Looking at Stewart in front of him, Charlize felt it was too ridiculous. She really shouldn't give Stewart time to explain, because he just made things even more sad, "It's over between us...."

Stewart covered his forehead with annoyance and looked at Charlize at a loss, "I know I've messed up, but, but I don't want you to hate me."

Charlize widened his eyes and looked at Stewart incredibly, "Remember? You chose to leave without saying goodbye, and left quietly, leaving me alone like a fool!" Charlize's voice couldn't help but rise, and his anger finally came out bit by bit, "Do you still remember?"

"I... can't we sit down and talk carefully?" Stewart begged, but the expression was so cheap in Charlize's eyes, and there was no meaning. Hugo said it right. "Can't we talk calmly? I always think of you, you keep coming to my mind, I can't forget you, and I can't remove you from my life..."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Charlize finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared at Stewart angrily.

"I'm back now, I just want to start over." Stewart said tirelessly.

"Shut up! I'll shut you up!" Charlize tightly grasped his fist and vented all the anger in his chest. "You really should listen to your own words. You sound like a bastard! You are not qualified to manipulate my life like this. You leave when you say you leave, and come back when you say you come back. Why do I have to wait for you in the same place? Why do you believe that I will still stay in the same place? You don't have such power, and I am not the idiot you imagined. I am not your girlfriend, nor your toy, and I am not even your friend!"

Charlize's anger was vented like a heavy rain. Stewart looked at Charlize helplessly, paused, and said softly, "Why not? Why can't we be friends? I thought we were friends."

"No, we are not, we are not friends at all." The anger in Charlize's chest went out bit by bit, and he became relaxed. He shook his head gently and said calmly, "Because my friend will not choose not to say goodbye, my friend will not betray my trust, and my friend will not let me think that everything is my fault, and my friend will not run away when I need each other the most!"

"Charlize...we, can't we really start over? I love you, I really love you." Stewart shouted hopefully, and with all his strength, the moving voice alarmed the moonlight all over the ground, but in Charlize's ears, it seemed like the most interesting joke in the world.

"Fuck. You... Fuck. You!" Charlize raised his middle finger and shouted loudly at Stewart for the last time, completely venting all the emotions in her heart. But after saying this, she stood there and smiled, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was outlined, and then it completely bloomed, and she said softly in a calm tone again, "Get out." Because, Charlize knew that it was over, and everything was over at this moment.

Charlize turned around simply and walked forward strode forward, then raised his right hand and raised a big middle finger. This was the last talisman between them.
