Alice looked down and shook her head. "I'm just asking casually. I just thought that your mother is not in good health and that we are not suitable to be together for the time being. Jensen, you should go back!"
She was about to chase him away again.
Jensen frowned and said coldly, "I've said that I won't leave. I'll give you some time to think about it."
"In a week's time, don't think about being separated from me. I will be with you every day."
He had made up his mind.
Alice felt that this was not a good thing. She said helplessly, "You want to be with me for a week? Isn't it just because you want to make love with me?"
Jensen could not deny this idea. He really wanted to.
Therefore, he simply admitted generously, "Yes, I want to. I can't control myself. Shouldn't you be responsible for it?"
"Jensen." Alice was very helpless. "What should I be responsible for?"
Jensen said in a deep voice, "I don't care. I am only interested in you now. I may not be interested in other women for the rest of my life."
Absorbing one's body was something that could not be expressed with words.
Alice turned her head and looked elsewhere. "It's very uncomfortable for me to hear you say that."
"You have to take responsibility for me," he said. "I can only be with you. You can't do this to me. When you want me, you'll be as passionate as fire and when you don't want me, you'll be as cold as ice.
"I can't accept it. I am a man. If you trample on my dignity, I will not allow it as a man!" His attitude was firm.
Alice was stunned and said, "Well, since you want to live here, I am a little tired. Can I go and wash up first?"
"Okay!" Jensen immediately agreed.
Under his sharp gaze, Alice got up and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Jensen sat alone in the room, feeling a little depressed. The whole room was still filled with the faint smell of cigarettes and the scent left by their passionate love-making.
It was rather depressing.
Jensen sighed, put on his clothes and also went out. He lit a cigarette outside, feeling empty and lonely.
He didn't know what the problem was. He only felt frustrated.
When Alice came out of the bathroom, she saw Jensen smoking. He looked very lonely.
She felt extremely distressed and guilty, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Maybe loving rationally meant that the love was not enough, but a deep love could result in both sides suffering from great losses.
She had never been a person who was overly confident. When she spoke of others, she might be very thorough. When it came to herself, she would not be able to make up her mind.
She also hated herself like this and he also blamed himself deeply. It shouldn't be like this.
"Eat something." Alice said in a soft voice, "You haven't eaten anything, have you?"
"No!" Jensen shook his head.
Ever since he had returned, he had no appetite, nor was he in the mood to eat.
"Then let's eat together."
When she saw how he smoked, she was really worried. She knew that he was hurting his body and she couldn't bear to see him doing that.
Jensen paused, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'll be back soon."
"Okay!"
Soon, he went to the bathroom.
Alice patted herself on the back of her head and thought to herself, "What should I do?"
She went to the kitchen to heat up the food and her heart was filled with irritability.
She couldn't bear to let go; she couldn't let go and she dared not to. She stopped, and struggled in contradiction.
Soon, the door of the bathroom was suddenly opened and Jensen came out from inside.
The lower half of his body was casually wrapped in a bath towel. His hair was messy and dripping with water. His slender figure was extremely attractive.
Alice quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.
Jensen took a sharp glance at Alice and raised his eyebrows; it was not that he didn't see her reaction.
His eyes flashed as he realized that she was reluctant to part with him.
Very reluctant.
There must be a reason for that. Otherwise, she would not go back on her words like this.
As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Jensen's lips.
Without putting on any clothes, he walked over and sat down opposite Alice.
She had already changed her clothes to a set of conservative pajamas, which was not the same dress as before. She was now on guard.
Jensen's brows furrowed even deeper.
He was thinking that it would be very difficult for him not to touch her if he lived there.
The two of them sat across from each other in silence.
This was because Jensen was not wearing any clothes and Alice was sitting there. Every time she raised her eyes, she could look right into his eyes, which made her feel uneasy as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
She took a bite of the food and barely filled her stomach. Then, she stood up and said, "I'm full. You eat by yourself."
