Chapter 876Luke looked embarrassed and said no more. He had not expected the woman had such a smart mouth.'Humph! How dare she say I'm cynical?'Sherman knocked at the door, and Kingsley opened it. He looked relaxed in his casual clothes."What are you talking about?" Kingsley asked.Sherman shook her head and said nothing but followed him into the room.The large room had a splendid view, with French windows facing the garden and grove. The style of the whole room was entirely male style, composed of gray, white, and black.The work area, bedroom, and living room were integrated.Sherman sat on the sofa casually and gazed around the room's layout. The room didn't look cozy or warm, but it revealed a low-key luxury.Kingsley handed Sherman a glass of water and sat opposite her. His long legs gently overlapped and inadvertently touched her knee, which was very ambiguous.Sherman's mouth felt completely dry. Maybe he was unintentional, but it would have been weird if she had
Chapter 877"In the beginning, I was really not happy when I heard you suggest a one-month romantic relationship between us. But I knew that you had just divorced. It was normal that you suggested one-month. And I am not a man who plays with women at will, especially in love.I’m very serious. Although a month has passed, I have never planned to separate from you. If your mind is the same as mine, we’ll continue to be with each other but there is no time limit.If you want to break up, I’ll agree. But I’ll chase you, because you are the right person for me..."He said in a low noise and he uttered each word in a serious and formal tone.His maturity and dependability were not something that any man had. Only a man with abundant life experience could have it.Pressing her lips, Sherman drank warm water, staring at him. She said, "No need to chase me..."Hearing this, Kingsley's long body became slightly stiff.But just in the blink of an eye, he smiled faintly. But his smile was
Chapter 878Sherman raised her head to kiss Kingsley.The view outside the room and the atmosphere inside the room were good, but a knock at the door spoiled all that.The only person who could knock at that moment was Luke, who said he wanted to make coffee but could not find the coffeemaker.Sherman thought that the man was odd indeed. This unsatisfying kiss was finally interrupted by the man outside.But the atmosphere in the room was full of sweetness.Kingsley looked for the coffeemaker for Luke while Sherman stood watching. Luke gave Sherman a few glances, and Sherman caught him. She smiled drily and shrugged.The next day.Natalie woke up and washed. Gradually her health improved, and her pale face became ruddy.May made a delicious breakfast and said, "The food is ready, Miss Moore. You and Mr. Day can have your breakfast."Natalie fell asleep at 11 o'clock the night before when Billy hadn't come back. In the morning, she saw the message from Billy that he had returne
Chapter 879They had been together for a long time. Natalie never asked Billy for money or anything else.Billy had voluntarily paid for Natalie’s medical bills when she was ill, and so had this villa.On top of that, Natalie never used the bank cards Billy gave her. It seemed to Billy that she had no interest in his money.In his eyes, she was different from other women. She was an even-tempered woman and he had never seen her lose her temper.Whether Billy was losing his temper or angry, her tender words could calm him down.Billy thought if he had not met Sherman in the university, he might marry Natalie.After all, few women could make him want to get married, except Sherman, who had got divorced, was Natalie.Billy really liked Natalie's temperament. They had been together for so long and had never had contradictions or quarrels.Even when they had different opinions, Natalie would accommodate and cooperate with him.A tide of rage surged through Natalie. She was so angr
Chapter 880The president, the vice president, and the managers of all departments all showed up. Ten minutes later, two black cars stopped at the gate one after another.First came the slightly portly mayor, whom Sherman had met once before. Coming out of the car behind was Kingsley, wearing a black suit and casually draped over a coffee color coat, looking elegant and composed.Sherman and Kingsley had not been apart long. When Sherman looked at this familiar figure, there was a special feeling in her heart.Kingsley nodded slightly. Although he was shaking hands with the president and vice president, his eyes were always on Sherman, which was very gentle.Sherman perceived that, so she returned with a faint and sweet smile.The manager observed them closely. As that group of people was getting into the elevator, the manager suddenly said, "Sherman, you go to help the president sort out data."Sherman was speechless.The president's assistant and secretary were there. How cou
Chapter 881After a while, there was no movement over there. Sherman removed her hands from Kingsley's ears and patted his chest. It was surprising that such a steady man was impulsive.Kingsley saw Sherman flushed to the ears. He glanced at his watch and found that the meeting was minutes away."Lipstick," Kingsley uttered.Although Sherman was confused, she fished it out and handed him.Kingsley held Sherman's chin in his left hand, unscrewed the lipstick out with his right, and gently put lipstick on her lips.Sherman had already put on lipstick, but her lipstick was smudged after that kiss. She looked a little awkward.When Kingsley put lipstick on her, his adam's apple bobbed. Sherman registered that, and her heart quivered slightly; then she avoided his eyes.And then Sherman went out to see if anyone was outside and made sure it was clear before she let him out. She was as careful as a thief.Kingsley, on the contrary, was unperturbed. He walked out calmly and gracefull
Chapter 882Billy frowned and he was panting with anger. He drank the bubble tea, which was too sweet. It was also hot and scalded his mouth a little. He threw the bubble tea into the trash can.He felt that Sherman was getting smarter and more cunning. She just said that she wanted to drink bubble tea but he believed her!Back to the villa, Sherman found that Kingsley was not at home but Luke was there. She ignored Luke and made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. Then she sat at the dining table to eat it.Luke didn't eat dinner, either. He smelled the aroma of the noodles and felt a little hungry. He got up and went to the kitchen. When he glanced at the pot, it was clean and there were no leftover noodles.Sherman didn't seem to see his behavior and still ate silently. Luke called the restaurant to deliver some food.Neither of them talked to each other. At the end, as if thinking of something, Sherman raised her head and said, "You did it on purpose last night, right?"Luke a
Chapter 883Everyone around Sherman was totally immersed in that, but only Sherman went about her business.Sherman's phone vibrated when she was about to make copies of the materials she had sorted out. She took out her phone and found it was Kingsley.Then she went to the break room and answered it. There came Kingsley's deep voice, "Have you arrived at the office yet? And did you have breakfast?"Sherman replied to his questions one by one and asked him, "Is the urgent business handled?"Kingsley's voice was hoarse, as if he had not slept, "I'm sorry, Sherman. I left in a hurry yesterday and I didn't have time to call you. It was late at night when I finished everything, and I didn't want to wake you. Grandpa's not doing too well, and I am in Lanechett now. I've only just arrived. I'm so tired and dying to hear your voice..."Sherman inquired about grandpa's situation with concern. Kingsley said, "Grandpa is in serious condition. And he is in the ICU."Hearing that, Sherman c
