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
Chapter 704With a soft sigh, Sherman returned to the ward, and she thought that she owed him another favor.Mildred sat down with Sherman and asked straightforwardly: "Sherman, was that man your friend?" "What's the matter?" Sherman was puzzled."You know that your sister is only two years younger than you. She is 24 this year. Many people introduced boyfriends to her, but she didn’t like these men. She pulled my sleeves and said that she had a thing for the man. Could you introduce the man to your sister?"Sherman was shocked and looked at Joyce. There was expectation in her eyes, and her cheeks were slightly red. Sherman shook her head and looked at Mildred: "Mom, I’ve only met him for two or three times, and we are really unfamiliar with each other!""If you don't know him, will he pay the medical expenses for Noah? Please, just introduce your sister to him. You can help your sister."Joyce had a blind date almost every day, but none of them was her type. After all, her bro
Chapter 705When Billy was about to pass by Natalie, she suddenly fell to one side on her high heels. All of a sudden, Billy stepped to his left side and held Natalie who almost fell to the ground with his arm.Natalie's whole body was so soft, just like a cat. She leant against Billy's chest lazily and moved constantly.Billy frowned and tried pushing her away. However, Natalie quickly held him by the neck with her slim arms and said, "Am I dreaming? How could I dream of Billy?"Without saying a word, Billy moved his hands to her arms from her waist and intended to move her arms off. However Natalie reacted faster than him. She rapidly kissed him on her tiptoes.Billy was so shocked by such a sudden move, but he enjoyed the kiss soon after.He slightly closed his eyes, but he eventually pushed her away and resisted the temptation. However, Natalie smiled drunkenly and said, "I am indeed in a dream."Since Sherman was pregnant now, he couldn't be unfaithful to her anymore. Absolutely
