Chapter 898But Sherman didn't feel that distressed, at least, Kingsley did not completely conceal the truth from her, and he had told her everything.The only relief to Sherman was the agreement between Kingsley and his wife. The terms were specific, which gave her a bit of comfort, so she thought at the very least, she was not that humiliated.While eating her instant noodles, she browsed through the pages of her computer.It was almost time for bed when Sherman got two more messages. -- "Are you in bed?" --"If I have all these things settled, is there any chance that we will make up?"It was still Kingsley who sent the messages.Sherman didn't reply. She just read it and then turned off the phone. She didn't want to do the dishes, so she casually left it in the kitchen, intending to wash it tomorrow.When passing by the window, she saw that the Mulsanne was still there.Sherman paused but didn't pay much attention to it. She didn't want to think about anything, s
Chapter 899Sherman stared straight at the elevator and waited intently. When the elevator arrived, she stepped into it. The manager pressed the button for the private elevator. However, Kingsley moved his thin lips and said, "No." Then an elevator arrived. Kingsley turned around, moving his long, straight legs, and walked to the elevator. Stepping inside the elevator, he pressed the button for the ground floor. The manager was confused. 'Didn't Mr. Wright just say he was going upstairs to fetch some papers? Why did he suddenly change his mind?' Finally, he seemed to think of something. He smiled. 'Wasn't that Sherman who had just left in the elevator?' Kingsley did not seem to have shaved in the morning. The pale stubble on his chin made him look even more sexy, charming, and mature. He walked to the parking lot, got in his car, and drove out. He drove slowly following the bus in front. Sherman was on the bus, so was Billy, who
Chapter 900However, what would others think of her? How could others know the agreement? They would only think that she was a mistress. Today, something was abnormal. Lee didn't come over, nor did Bentley Mulsanne. It was very peaceful today.She seemed to have returned to the days after the divorce. She ate, worked, practiced yoga, and watched TV alone. This kind of life was really dull. There had been a robbery in the apartment she lived. Although she was bold, she still felt a little worried.Therefore, she planned to rent another apartment. Even if it was expensive, she was willing to rent. The most important thing for a single woman now was safety. While it was time for lunch, Sherman went to the most expensive apartment community, where many celebrities lived. It was said that not only the security measures were very strict, but also the privacy of residents was well-protected. The only shortcoming was that the rent was expensive. She looked at the layout of the
Chapter 901But he didn't know what to do with her, nor did he know what he should do.His low breath fell on the top of her head. Kingsley swallowed and hugged her tightly again. Then he let go of her reluctantly.Sherman lowered her head and walked away.Her hair covered her face. He couldn't see her look clearly.This time he didn't stop her or say anything. He stood still and let her disappear in front of his deep eyes.He had quit smoking for more than ten years. However, he wanted to smoke at this moment. He wanted to feel the nicotine being inhaled from his lips into his lungs.Kingsley didn't suppress himself. He went to the supermarket across the street and bought a box of cigarettes.Standing by the car, he held the cigarette with his right fingertips. The smoke was dazzling, and he narrowed his left eye slightly.More than ten years had passed by. He wasn't quite familiar with the posture of smoking or its smell.He stood in the cold wind for a long time.However,
Chapter 902"I think Mr. Wright handled it pretty well. It would have been irresponsible for him to have resisted the marriage, or to have been married for real. Obviously, neither was the best choice." Sherman wasn't listening to her. Grace shut her mouth. She had said that everyone saw things differently. They had hotpot in the morning until noon. They spent the afternoon nestling on the couch, watching a variety show to relax and cheer up their spirits. Grace left in the evening. When she got home, she called Summer and told her about Sherman. She told her what she thought about it, and one of her friends said that their marriage was for charity. Summer smiled and asked Grace, "Do you know what charity means? It is kindness. However, that Mr. Wright married Merlin was not out of kindness. It was out of guilt, and he wanted to repay the favor. It was completely different from charity. What he wanted was peace of mind. He hoped he would not feel guil
Chapter 903Natalie walked over and sat opposite Sherman. Sherman sipped her coffee expressionlessly."Did you break up with your boyfriend? Or did you get dumped?" Natalie asked.Sherman didn't look at her but stirred her coffee. Natalie added, "A few days ago, I saw him shopping with a woman at the mall. They don't seem to be close, but they weren't ordinary friends.""Please get out of here; otherwise I'll have the attendant ask you to leave." Sherman said calmly though she was a little annoyed.Natalie smiled and said, "I just think we are the same. You've been dumped, so have I."Few people in Santabaca knew Kingsley's identity and that he was married. Therefore, Natalie didn't know that either.Just like at that business party, some people knew a little about his identity, but not in detail."However, do you believe that I will eventually marry Billy?" Natalie's voice was soft, but with an inevitable determination.Sherman thought she was ridiculous, "Should I send you a
Chapter 904Merlin knew what he wanted to say. She looked up and also took a sip of water, "I heard Luke say that you have someone you like.""Yes." Kingsley confessed.Merlin was gentle, which had to do with her heart disease. She said slowly, "Do you like her so much?""No one but her has given me such an intense feeling, which was very special..." He said.Merlin touched the edge of her cup lightly with her fingers. She had liked him since she was a child. She didn't show her love to him, but she believed that he must know that.After freezing for a moment, she raised her head, "So, are you going to divorce me?"Kingsley said gently, "I don't want to miss her. Merlin, I don't get crushes all the time. The first woman I had a crush on has passed away and this is my last time to have a crush on a woman.""I'll think about it." Merlin's voice was slow. She did everything slowly and she rarely got excited."Okay." Kingsley didn't force her to answer his question. She needed tim
Chapter 905She had been with him for two years. One couldn't be too greedy.Moreover, he was very considerate and thoughtful. He had been very good to her for the past two years."Tell me whenever you want to file for divorce."Merlin nodded. But when she was about to walk out of the room, she stopped and said, "But I have one request."She turned around. Kingsley looked at her relaxedly and said gently, "What is it?"...As time went by, Sherman moved into her new home, and she felt a sense of security.She lived a very regular and fulfilled life. Sometimes, she went to the gym on Sundays.But sometimes she felt lonely.He disappeared from her world without a trace. Sometimes she would look out the window.When she lived in the previous apartment, his silver Mulsanne would always be downstairs...Now more than half a month had passed. Billy came over to her apartment community every day.She used to think that no one knew him better than she did.Now she found that it w
