Tom's mansion in New York is next to the affluent area on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, but it's not exactly there. Compared with the noise and prosperity of the affluent area, there is more silence and loneliness.

Tom doesn't seem to like to join in the excitement of the rich area anymore. For him, he has little leisure time and of course he doesn't want anyone to disturb him.

Therefore, apart from luxury and absolute comfort, his standard for buying a residence is quietness, absolute quietness.

No matter how you try to plant lush plants around Beverly Hills, you can't really isolate yourself from the outside world, nor can you get absolute silence, because the paparazzi will always hover at the door of his house.

So he prefers it here.

Of course, there is still a gap between this villa and the one in Los Angeles, but it is already extremely comfortable and spacious. The number of ten living rooms makes Joey suspect that even if he is at home at the same time, he has to communicate on the phone...

As soon as he arrived at Tom's home, Tom invited Joey to dinner. The chef obviously didn't know that although Joey was Asian, he was a native of Los Angeles and had never been to China. The chef thought Joey was Asian, so he deliberately Prepared Peking Duck.

Joey couldn't help swallowing when she saw the table full of sumptuous delicacies. She knew Tom's enthusiasm for the guests, and almost every meal was like a state banquet...

Joey was so hungry that he started eating without saying much.

Tom also looked very hungry, but as the host, he must take care of the guests more, so he has been observing what Joey likes to eat, and then asked the chef to make some more.

Tom also went out of his way to uncork a bottle of 1927 white wine, which Joey refused to drink, and he's not a drinker either.

People get used to being very stubborn sometimes. When he decides not to drink, he really doesn't drink at all.He is such a man with absolute will.

At this time, the chef brought up a plate of croissant donuts. Tom specially asked the chef to bring it to Joey. He smiled and said, "This is the favorite dessert in New York this year. I think a young girl like you must I would like it, so I specially asked the chef to make it."

Joey subconsciously asked, "Is it delicious?"

Tom cut the steak in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm from New York. I can only say that New Yorkers like to eat very sweet donuts, while southern Americans are said to like slightly salty donuts. I don't know the people of Los Angeles. taste."

Joey grinned and snorted, "You New Yorkers are like this. You can smell arrogance when you eat a donut."

Then, she pointed to a bacon hot dog and curry hot dog on the table and said: "We in Los Angeles love to eat hot dogs. Every year, we eat 9500 million hot dogs."

Tom picked up a curry hot dog. "It seems that the tastes of Los Angeles people and New Yorkers are very different."

Joey laughed for a while, didn't talk anymore but focused on eating.

After dinner, Tom thought it was polite, and offered to show Joey around the house.

Joey still recognizes his taste in his heart. The biggest feature of the whole villa is its brightness and simplicity, although the number of living rooms is dazzling.

When passing by a living room, Joey looked around and said in surprise, "This bed is so big, probably KINGSIZE..."

Tom paused, and then explained: "This is the master bedroom, so I made the bed bigger when designing it."

Joey didn't say much, but nodded meaningfully. Tom felt that Joey might have misunderstood something. He added: "Although the bed is big, I'm the only one sleeping."

Joey looked at him in a daze, as if he felt that there was no need to explain this kind of thing to her, "It seems that you have been waiting for the hostess to move in here."

"That's right," he replied simply and neatly, "I've always longed for a stable family relationship."

His emotional view has always been very traditional, just like in Paul Newman's "The Color of Money" he starred in, the family relationship he longs for is that the husband protects the wife, the wife respects the husband, and they will love their children together.

Joey was not surprised that this sentence came from Tom. In fact, as his fan, she had always known that he was a man with a very traditional view on marriage.

She smiled and nodded, "Indeed, but there are not many men in Hollywood who think like you. Most Hollywood actors still like to practice the Nordic celibacy, and they won't get married even if they have children."

"I think differently from them," Tom said as he walked, taking Joey to another living room, where there was a bar, where he asked Joy to sit on it and poured her a glass of lemon soda, "I personally think that a man The smallest unit in society should be the family unit with wife and children. Of course, I don’t think there is any problem with celibacy.”

Then, Tom's eyes fell on Joey's smiling cheek, "Are you celibate too?"

Joy shook her head, she had never thought about this question, "I don't know, but I think people who practice celibacy may be unwilling to promise to be responsible for another's life. After all, once you commit to marriage, you will You have to give half of your property, your relationship, your energy, and even your life to another person. Not everyone can do that."

Joey's answer made Tom a little uncertain. After all, the minds and views of marriage of many young girls are different from those of his age. He didn't know why he asked her about her feelings. She has a crush on her, but his strong sense of morality makes him refuse to develop a deeper relationship with her, but it can't stop him from paying attention to her involuntarily.

He responded: "After all, marriage is too heavy a commitment."

He can understand, but he doesn't want to be like this. He is willing to give the promise of marriage, and is willing to give everything he has to the other party. He has been waiting for someone who can share his life with him.

Joey heard Tom's slightly heavy tone, and planned to change the subject, "Then you should also like children."

Tom smiled slightly, "Indeed, my mother often urged me to get married and have children."

Joey asked curiously: "You and your ex-wife... seem to have a pair of adopted children?"

Tom paused, as if he didn't expect Joey to mention his previous marriage. Although it was a long marriage, lasting 11 years, but the memory has gradually faded with time, he replied, "Yes, I love them a lot, but it doesn't conflict with my desire to get married and have children. I'm not young anymore, what I want is a stable and long-lasting relationship."

He thinks that Joy is still too young, and she will not understand that whether she is successful or unsuccessful in her career, loneliness will always follow her. When he won the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award in 2005, he suddenly realized Realizing that his loneliness is so strong, because he can't find anyone to congratulate, he can only call his mother and have a simple meal alone.

Only then did he realize that the brilliance of his career cannot cover up the troughs of life.

That's why he especially longs for a stable marriage relationship.

She thought Joey didn't understand, but Joey did.

She had lived alone for decades in her previous life, and she understood loneliness better than Tom.

So at this moment, she can understand Tom's inner thoughts better than anyone else. She knows that he just wants to get rid of the loneliness that follows him everywhere.

Joey said calmly: "I know that no matter how successful you are on the surface, loneliness will not disappear because of the brilliance on the surface. This kind of loneliness is terrifying. It will even corrode your heart and make you self Suspect."

Tom turned his head to look at her in surprise, with a sense of approval in his eyes, "I didn't expect that you can understand such feelings."

Joy summed it up in the colloquial terms of someone who has experienced it, "I can understand, and I can tell you, until you find someone who can share your life with you, this feeling will not go away."

Seeing her mature tone, Tom couldn't help laughing, "You are so young, why do you have the mentality of getting old before you get old?"

Joey looked at him naturally and replied, "Because I really understand you."

Then she laughed herself, "Maybe you don't believe it, but I have the same profound experience as you. Sometimes all you need is a listener, and the tormenting, hopeless loneliness will disappear. But we don't even have one There is no listener. But there is no way, there is no way, you can only try your best to adjust your heart to make yourself happy. Because it seems that we are the only ones who really care about ourselves. "

Tom leaned against the bar and raised his head, "You are right, but this is what I have summed up from many years of experience. I didn't expect you to have experienced so much at such a young age."

Joy is smiling, with a sparkle in her eyes, her smile seems insignificant, but she can see the once heavy soul under the smile, "Because of this kind of thing, I only choose people, not ages, and I meet them when I meet them." .”

After that, the two fell into a moment of silence, looking at each other, but neither of them spoke.

After that, when Joey felt that it was almost time, he left.And Tom planned to send her off in person, but Joey refused very seriously. She didn't like to trouble others, so she called a taxi and went back.

Tom thought that he would always remember the girl who seemed cheerful but confided her heart to him for the first time that night. Her smile looked so bright, but her heart was so mature and transparent that it made people feel distressed.
