Chapter 952Kingsley folded his legs one upon another. His large warm hands clutched her hands in his palms. Fondling her hands, he tried to warm them up. He was holding her hands the whole time. They spent a long time at the police station. The police asked Sherman a lot of questions since she was in charge of the project. Sherman was frank and she made it very clear. She just took over the project in the middle. She told the police they needed to ask Yanny about the specifics because she didn't know much about the previous work. Kingsley was sitting next to her. She was talking, and he was listening. She wanted to deal with it on her own, so he stayed out of it. She was going to do things her way. If she couldn't handle it, he would step in and help her. He would always protect her. All the questions the police asked were basic inquiries. The police recorded their statements. But it was just the beginning, far from the end. When Kingsley and Sherman walked ou
Chapter 953"Yes, I like to hear you tell me the truth. I've been away for so long. Has everything been hard for you?" He asked. Sherman was silent. After a while, she looked up, narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled, "Does thinking about you count as hard work?" "I like it when you work hard in that way. You know what? It's the sweetest complaint about hard work I've ever heard…" Kingsley spoke slowly. He was looking intently into her eyes, without a blink. Then he held her tighter and kissed her passionately. Just as they were about to lose themselves, Sherman pushed him away gently and went to take a shower. Kingsley let her go. He was in such a pleasant mood. He felt content, relaxed. He loved how he felt being with her. No one had ever given him this kind of feeling before.… On the other side… Billy hadn't eaten anything all day. His handsome face was gloomy like the cloudy sky. Ever since he heard that Sherman was pregnant, he had been d
Chapter 954Sherman’s words embarrassed the police, and the manager did not look well.The police said Sherman was implicated in this case anyway and that they needed to investigate further.There must be some monkey business behind such a big project, and the manipulators' background must be strong. Their purpose was to find a scapegoat.However, they did not find the right one.When Sherman went to the police office, Kingsley called Lee to investigate this matter.It was one thing for Sherman not to let him help, but it was another for him to want to help her. Sherman was his woman, and he allowed her to be independent, but there was a limit.And Billy was waiting for Sherman to beg him.The result of the investigation was still pending, and this matter had received wide coverage in the press. It was rumored that this project was shoddy construction.Some people said the builder had no conscience and only cared about money. It was not even completed yet, and there were so man
Chapter 955Sherman didn't say anything but went straight to pack her stuff.Meanwhile, Billy squinted his narrow eyes and leaned lazily on the bed. He asked, "These days, it must have been a tough time for you, huh?" Sherman didn't respond. She didn't want to know what he meant by that question. "If you abort Kingsley's child and marry me, then I would be glad to get you out of the trouble." Billy made it clear enough. Sherman sneered in response. She knew Billy was always proud but did he fancy every woman wanted him? For the present, Sherman didn't want to taunt him. Besides, there was no need to talk too much to a selfish person like him, right? Just as Sherman was about to leave, Billy threw out the words, "I'm waiting for your answer." If it weren't for the fact that he got wounded because of her, Sherman would have smashed her luggage bag into his face. The moment she was about to step out of the ward, she answered him si
Chapter 956Sherman didn't see it.Kingsley closed his eyes slightly. Then he opened his eyes and looked as gentle as before. He smiled faintly, "If you're reluctant to go to the hospital, just forget it. But you need to tell me immediately if you feel unwell..."Sherman thought that he would insist, but he gave in. 'Does he notice something?'But his gaze was deep. She couldn't see through him. She didn't think much about it and nodded.Kingsley said, "Let's go to have dinner. I have ordered the dishes. I hope you will like them..." He hugged her and sat down.When they had dinner, Sherman was thinking if Kingsley had noticed anything or not.She considered it and thought it was impossible. He didn't have any children, and there were no pregnant women around him. He was busy and didn't have time to learn about pregnant women. She thought that she had overthought.Natalie went to the hospital because she knew that there were no other people in Billy's ward now.As expected, Bi
Chapter 957These days, except for Moriah, hardly anyone came to visit Billy. Although it was quiet, he felt lonely.The visit of Natalie was opportune. He felt warm and comfortable.At the same time, Sherman had fallen asleep with the heating on. The lights in the living room were still on. Kingsley hadn't gone to bed. There was a laptop in front of him. He was typing.He searched for some information online. After a while, he smiled and narrowed his eyes.Then he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The moonlight was bright and cast soft shadows. It was beautiful.His angular face creased into a smile. His smile was so bright against the moonlight.Suddenly, he wanted to smoke. When he touched the cigarette case in his pants pocket, he thought of something and let off his hand. He didn't smoke in the end.He stood in front of the windows for a long time. It might be half an hour, one hour or two hours. He was like a sculpture. No one knew what he was thinking.
Chapter 958Sherman slept for a long time. Finally, she was woken by her phone ring. She sat up and answered the phone.Her voice was nasal. Kingsley said in a gentle voice, "Have I woken you up? Take a nap. I will call you later..."She had the quilt draped around her shoulders and sat up. She smiled, "Don't be so exaggerated. Anyway, I have woken up and can't fall asleep again. What are you doing now?"Kingsley said resignedly, "I'm at a social function. I'm afraid that I can't have lunch with you..."Sherman smiled, "It's OK. I will have lunch alone."Kingsley said, "Then what would you like for lunch? I will ask Lee to buy it for you. Tell me what you would like to eat..."Sherman thought about it and said, "No need. I will make lunch at home."Kingsley asked, "How about dinner?"Sherman felt an irresistible urge to laugh. She shook her head, "No need. Please come home earlier. I will make dinner. I only want you to come back earlier."Sherman showed her love for him unco
Chapter 959In the evening, Sherman made dinner and waited for Kingsley to come back. At around six o'clock, he called Sherman and said that he had something to deal with and asked her not to wait for him.Sherman decided to keep waiting for him. She waited from six o'clock to eight o'clock, but Kingsley didn't come back. So she had dinner herself.Sherman felt very sleepy and fell asleep.At one o'clock in the early morning, Kingsley came back. His black coat carried a smell of alcohol.Kingsley went to the bedroom. Seeing that she was asleep, he curled his lips, put the messy hair on her forehead behind her ear with his long fingers, kissed her, and then went to the bathroom.It went better than he had thought, so he came back soon.Kingsley took off his black coat, dark blue shirt and silver gray pants. His robust, perfect and strong lines were revealed.She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't notice Kingsley when he lay beside her. He slept with her in his arms.Probab
