"It's like a beauty and her handsome lover trying to poison her short and sturdy husband!"
Luke said, "But you're not ordinary at all. Instead you're more attractive to women than me."
Sherman couldn't help but laugh. She didn't realize that Luke was very humorous.
Kingsley laughed lightly, "I'm tall. As for sturdy, Sherman, you should know me."
Luke raised his eyebrows and looked at Sherman.
"Bah! Don't say that." There was a flush in Sherman's cheeks.
How had she not realized that Kingsley would say such a thing?
"I didn't say anything and didn't mean anything. But it’s easy for you to think the wrong way."
Kingsley held Cody on his lap and gently scraped the bridge of Cody's nose with his long fingers, making Cody giggle.
Sherman was silent and so was Luke.
For a moment, the resentment and estrangement seemed to disappear. It was like they were back in the old days.
At this time, Cathy and Aaron came in. After greeting Luke, they left with Cody.
Just as they left, Tonell came in and asked, "Where is my lovely grandson?"
Sherman pointed to the back garden and said, "Grandpa, Cody had just been carried away by Cathy and Aaron."
Leaning on his crutches, Tonell grunted and decided to go to the back garden.
Seeing this scene, Luke had mixed feelings.
The Wright family had so many family members, but he and Brad were the only members of the Bennington family.
Standing at the same spot and watching him leave, Sherman muttered, "Didn't he love his ex-wife? Why has he suddenly decided to go abroad?" "His ex-wife gets engaged today." Kingsley Sherman didn't know about it. Hearing Kingsley's words, she was shocked and instantly understood why Luke had suddenly decided to go abroad.
lifted his head and said to her.
"When I didn't know him before, I thought he was quite annoying. Now I feel sorry for him." Sherman said quietly.
"He suffered a lot. His parents, his grandpa, Zora, and Merlin passed away. He was never happy." Kingsley said in a lower voice.
Sherman thought that she would go crazy if she had gone through so much suffering.
How painful is it to see the people you loved leave one by one?
"He is paranoid. Now that Eileen is engaged, it is easy to meet or hear news about her in Lanechett. He couldn't get back together with her and had to run into her from time to time. In that case, he might as well leave Lanechett. The Bennington family's villa is so big, but no one is waiting for him to come home.
Maybe it's the right choice for him to leave Lanechett."
