Sherman found herself to be unpopular on such an occasion.Another private box--Two men sat facing each other. One with red wine before him, while another with a glass of water."Mr. Wright, why don't you drink red wine?" Luke Bennington looked at the man drinking water.Kingsley Wright shook his head and pointed at his own throat. "I have a sore throat. By the way, how is Brad doing?" His voice sounded hoarse."Why are you even asking? Of course my son attends school now. What about you, Kingsley? You are already 37, yet you have no plans to have children?"Kingsley's lips curled. Obviously, he refused to answer the question. After taking a few sips, he said, "I've run into a very interesting person today.""A male or a female?" Luke immediately showed interest."A woman....""Is there any chemistry?"Kingsley kneaded his forehead with his slender fingers. When he said "interesting", he meant what he said. No underlying meaning. No innuendo."I've forgotten to mention tha
"Thank you. I'm fine. I can stand up by myself." By supporting herself with both hands on the ground, she struggled to stand up, looking clumsy.She could feel his aura. It was oppressive and also intimidating.Kingsley's lips curled as he took off his coat and put it on his arm, casually and elegantly. "Please wait a moment."Sherman stood still despite being a little puzzled. She had vomited excessively, in which all the vomitus was stuck to his coat. The smell was stronger that not even she could stand it.Yet, the man did not show the slightest disgust, not even annoyance, as if he did not smell it. He made a call.After a while, another tall man walked over, holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand.Kingsley handed the bottle to her after taking it from that man. "I think you need a bottle of mineral water to rinse your mouth..." His voice still sounded hoarse. Sherman was startled again. She sincerely thanked him upon receiving the bottle of mineral water. "Thank yo
Sherman was leaning against the rear seat window emotionlessly. Her eyes were vacantly looking at the passing pedestrians and vehicles through the window...By the time she reached her apartment, Billy was already home, drinking water. She did not expect him to be home this early.She did not bother to give him a glance. Instead, she changed to slippers and placed her bag on a couch. Seeing this, Billy stopped drinking water and stood in front of her. "What's wrong with you today?"He was referring to her reactions and behaviors at the reunion party.Sherman paused and looked at him indifferently. "What about you? Did you finally kiss Natalie's hand?"'So, now he questions me? Does he think that my reactions have embarrassed him?''"I'm the first who are asking. Shouldn't you answer my question first?" Billy's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly."Well, I will answer yours if you answer mine. Did you kiss Natalie's hand in the end?""No." Billy's lips were twitching as he frow
Sherman did not leave. Instead, she rang the doorbell again. This time, a voice came. "Please wait a moment."After a while, the door of the villa opened, and Kingsley appeared in front of her. Donned in a bathrobe, he was wiping his wet hair. Apparently, he had just taken a shower.As soon as he recognized Sherman, he raised his eyebrows slightly and moved his thin lips. "Sorry, I was taking a bath just now. Please come in."Sherman could see that he was in a hurry because the bathrobe was not fastened, but she didn't expect him to apologize. "It's okay. I came abruptly." She felt a bit awkward.The villa was very large and clean. The floor on the ground was so bright that it could illuminate the shadows, and every part of the villa was indescribably well-crafted. Just like its owner, it was exquisite, outstanding, and elegant.It was difficult for her to imagine that this was a place where a man lived because there was zero clutter. Exquisiteness and elegance were the only words
Sherman could not bring herself to hear Kingsley coughing. She put down the water glass and looked at him."Is there where your kitchen is?"Kingsley nodded but saw that she was already on her way to the open kitchen. As she walked, she said, "I felt sorry for what happened yesterday. To express my apology, I'll cook you something."'Cook something?' Kingsley frowned. Although he did not like people touching the things in his villa at will, he did not say a word this time.Apparently, his throat was severely inflamed. She opened the refrigerator and found some pears and mint leaves. They were ingredients of some sore throat remedy that was just right for him, and she had come across its recipe on the Internet two days ago.Kingsley did not make a sound. Instead, his deep black eyes fell on her, looking at her dully. There were no changes in his emotion.Sherman soaked the mint leaves in the water. She then washed the pears, peeled, cut them, and removed their cores and pedicles.A
Chapter 701Hearing his words, Sherman was too embarrassed to refuse him again, so she had to agree with him. He hummed lightly with contentment. Then he lowered his head and ate the pear soup.At this time, Sherman didn't make a sound either. She ate very quietly and hardly made a sound. She felt that it was oppressive to stay with a man of such a high status...Afterwards, she stood at the gate of Kingsley's villa and waited for him. He went to the garage, started a silver Bentley Mulliner, turned the car around, and parked it beside her.Kingsley leaned his slender body to the right and opened the car door for her."Thanks." Sherman said. Then she sat in the passenger seat, lowered her head, and fastened her seat belt.Only after that did Kingsley start the car and drive at an even speed.Sherman sat comfortably, without any desire to vomit. When the car passed the speed bump on the ground, she lowered her body slightly and held her belly with her hand.He had noticed her sm
Chapter 702So she watched Noah grow up and she was closest to Noah. Noah listened to her and liked her very much.Just when Sherman saw the text message, her heartbeat accelerated. She looked out the window anxiously and said, "Mr. Wright, please stop at a place nearest to the First Santabaca Hospital.""What's wrong?" The man said in a low and mellow voice."My brother was in a car accident. He is in the hospital now." Sherman was a little anxious and worried."I'll send you there. Hang on..." He said in a magnetic voice. He steered the wheel to the left with his slender, clean and big hands, and accelerated.The car drove very fast. It was twelve o'clock now, which was the rush hour. There were a lot of traffic on the road, but he could drive nimbly.Originally, it would take her twenty-five minutes to reach the First Santabaca Hospital. However, it only took her fifteen minutes to get there in the end.The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Sherman's face was a li
Chapter 703Mildred's gaze was still fixed on Kingsley. She asked, "Sherman, who is he?"Sherman thought for a moment and said, "He is a good Samaritan. When he saw that I was in trouble, he took me here." Kingsley's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his thin lips curled up slightly. His black eyes swept across her cheeks. "Joyce, don't just stand here. Hurry up and get this gentleman a glass of water.” Joyce walked to the water dispenser and got a glass of water. Then she walked in front of him, her cheeks turning slightly red. "Please drink some water." Kingsley's cold, thin lips moved, and he calmly refused, "No, thank you." The corners of his lips curled up. Joyce's face was red and her heart was beating fast. Even the old Mildred's heart was beating fast. Then the doctors and nurses came in. The nurses kept looking at Kingsley as if their eyes were glued to him."By the way, please pay for the operation and the hospitalization at the reception desk," the doctor said
