The Third Winter Soldier

Nemo Manor.

Charlie came out yawning and walked into the living room. The curtains around the living room hadn't been drawn yet, so he pressed the switch casually. When the curtains slowly opened to both sides and the morning sun poured into the living room, he suddenly looked Seeing his uncle sitting on the sofa facing the door with a cloudy face, he was startled, scratched his head, and asked, "Uncle, why...don't you open the curtains?"

Rosen looked at Charlie, nodded and said, "Are you up?"

Charlie hummed and glanced at him carefully. With the instinct of a small animal, he felt that it was not a good time to talk to him at this moment, so he tiptoed towards the bathroom.

Rosen straightened his back and continued to stare at the door in silence. He was holding the phone tightly in his hand, and the slightly drooping corners of his mouth revealed his very unhappy mood.

Charlie came out after washing, saw his uncle sitting there in the same posture, shrunk his head involuntarily, did not dare to talk to him, and quietly returned to the room on tiptoe.

Rosen sat there quietly, occasionally glanced at the watch on his wrist, and the time passed by. Finally, the sound of a car came from outside the door. There seemed to be some problems with the car, and when it stopped, it looked like a dying old man. , panting vigorously.He didn't move, still sitting there, waiting for the driver to enter the villa.

Lilith opened the door and entered the villa, and saw this scene. Rosen was wearing a long black velvet nightgown, sitting on the sofa and looking at herself. She raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and said, "Morning!"

"Where have you been?" Rosen asked calmly.

"Go for a drive." Lilith said and walked in. "Have you had breakfast?"

"Where did you go?" Rosen asked again, there was a hint of storm in his tone, and he turned his head to stare at Lilith, "Where did you go!?"

Lilith looked back at him and said, "Do I have to answer?"

"Yes!" Rosen nodded, "Pascal called me and told me that the woman ran away!"

Lilith smiled and said, "It seems that you know everything! You don't need me to tell you, do you?"

Rosen stood up abruptly and shouted angrily: "No need? As my bodyguard, where did you go, I still need to know from others? Also, why did you go to Pascal's place? In the middle of the night! Are you going to save that woman? So, you let that woman go? "

The smile on Lilith's face disappeared. She looked at the angry Rosen, was silent for a while, and said, "First of all, I have to tell you clearly that I am not here to save people. The woman you mentioned is not what I let go of." Let's go. Also, although I am your bodyguard, I also have my own private time, and I use my private time to go to Villa Pascal, so I don't need to tell you."

Rosen laughed angrily, stared at her for a long time, and said, "Private time? Good, good! What did you promise me, what did you promise, you forgot everything, right?"

"No, I haven't forgotten." Lilith shook her head, "I didn't leave you, I just went out temporarily. In my private time, it doesn't mean I violated the agreement, doesn't it?"

Rosen's anger did not calm down because of Lilith's explanation. On the contrary, he seemed to be even more angry, and suddenly raised the mobile phone in his hand, and said, "Well, good! Please tell me, that man is what's going on?"

Lilith watched him turn on the phone screen, and there was a video screenshot on it, which happened to be the moment when she and Bucky rushed into Pascal's room.

"This man is the mercenary who once came to our villa, isn't that right?" Although Rosen was asking questions, his tone was affirmative. He was extremely sure that the man in black in the picture was caught by Lilith "Can you explain, what happened to you and him? Why did you fool around with him?"

Lilith remained silent, she frowned slightly, and looked up at Rosen with bloodshot eyes. His questioning tone was like a husband who saw his wife cheating on her. However, she sighed and said: "You Questioning, people will have an illusion, however, you are only my employer, no matter what I do in my private time or who I am with, it has nothing to do with you."

Rosen stared at her, and suddenly laughed, he nodded while laughing, and said, "Yes, you are right, your private time has nothing to do with me, but don't forget, you take the time I gave you. The salary is not just responsible for my safety when I go out, that is to say, you are my 24-hour bodyguard, strictly speaking, you have no private time, dear Lilith."

"So that's it!" Lilith nodded, "I'm very sorry, now that I know, I don't have any private time. If that's the case, then I will pay attention next time, Mr. Nemo."

Rosen didn't expect Lilith to bow her head and apologize so easily. After receiving Pascal's phone call and the subsequent video pictures, the anger that had been simmering suddenly lost its target, and it burned wildly in his chest. He stared at Lily. Ruth whispered, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"No, I didn't know that we have such a big difference in the concept of private time. I won't do it next time!" Lilith thought for a while and said, "But I definitely didn't mean it on purpose!"

Rosen didn't make a sound, silently clutching the phone tightly, facing her, sometimes the sense of powerlessness forced him, forced him to do things that he didn't even believe in himself, like this moment.He whispered: "I don't like you fooling around with that man!"

Lilith raised her eyebrows, shrugged and said, "A fool?"

"You promise that you will never associate with that man again! That mercenary!" Rosen stared at her, "Can you promise?"

Lilith was silent for a while, and said: "No, I won't make such a promise, and you have no right to control who I associate with." Even though, she and Bucky may not necessarily have any intersections in the future.

"You killed my child, can't you promise even such a small guarantee?" Rosen sneered, "So, you don't think you did anything wrong at all!"

Lilith shook her head, and said seriously: "Anna's death is rooted to the bottom, it was indeed caused by me, so I made a promise to you, but today, now, you asked me to make this promise, I'm sorry, I have no reason To make such a promise, so, I can't!"

Rosen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Because of that man?"

Lilith frowned, his question became more and more weird, he kept talking about that man, like this... She didn't say a word, she looked at him silently, she was not a pure and innocent child, and she didn't pay much attention to Rosen's emotions before , but now that his words reached such an extent, she finally stared carefully at Rosen's face, and saw the emotion she didn't want to see in his eyes.

"Answer me!" Rosen gritted his teeth and asked.

Lilith suddenly laughed, looked at him and said, "You like me!"

Rosen didn't expect her to say this, he was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and said, "Yes! That's right!"

"What do you like about me?" Lilith asked again.

Rosen thought for a moment, shook his head blankly, and said, "I don't know!"

"I killed Anna, right? Even so, you still like me?" Lilith raised her eyebrows, "Are you sure, you like me?"

Rosen suddenly showed a bitter smile, and he looked up at Lilith, "Yes, that's right, even if Anna died because of you, I still like you, so much that I don't want to take revenge on you, so much that I don't want you Leave, like to..."

"Bump..." There was a sound of a shelf falling to the ground from the corner of the living room.

Lilith and Rosen turned their heads and looked over at the same time, and saw Charlie raised the shelf in panic, and then smiled awkwardly at the two of them and said, "Hehehe, I, I was just passing by, hehe, Pass by!" As he said, he rushed towards his room with his head in his arms.

After Charlie's unexpected interruption, the previous topic between Lilith and Rosen did not continue, and the two fell silent.

However, Lilith clearly saw that Rosen's liking for her was not for people. To be precise, no matter if it was a person or something, he would have a strong desire to possess him if he liked her. Possessiveness is also the easiest to lead to bad results.

Lilith stared at Rosen who had regained his composure, and said, "Rosen, you know, I don't like you! I'm here to be your bodyguard just for money!"

"I..." Rosen unconsciously showed embarrassment when he heard Lily's ruthless words. He looked up at Lilith and said, "It's okay, you have already promised that you will not leave, right?"

"You and I will always be, and can only be, the relationship between the employer and the bodyguard! Is that okay?" Lilith raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Rosen's eyes were filled with various emotions. Finally, he smiled and said, "Yes, no problem!" After finishing speaking, he straightened the waistband of his nightgown, "I'll go up and change. After 15 minutes, you I'm going to the company!"

Lilith watched him go upstairs, feeling helpless for his escape, but her experience warned her, reminding her that she must deal with this matter cleanly, and the best way to deal with this matter is Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots!She touched her forehead anxiously.
