"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. H e 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 depressed.
Moriah was worried about her son. She tried to persuade and plead with him. All she wanted was for Billy to eat some food. But she seemed to forget that Billy was thirty years old, not three!
Sarah couldn't stand the sullen look on her brother's face. "It's just a woman. And she's already pregnant with another man's child. What do you want to do?"
"Ms. Day, could you not criticize Billy right now? He's already so miserable." Natalie pretended to be nice and understanding.
"He's miserable? He's asked for it himself. Is there no other woman in this world except Sherman?" Sarah felt exasperated. She didn't want to stay there anymore. She dragged Natalie out of the room.
Last night, lying in Kingsley's arms, Sherman slept very soundly. They went to bed at 8:00 in the evening, and they didn't wake up until 8:00 the next morning.
They woke up, and before they could wash up, Sherman received a call from the company. The police had to continue their investigation of the project. They needed to make further interrogation. That meant Sherman had to go to the police station again.
Kingsley wanted to go, but Sherman stopped him. She didn't want to be under his wing all the time. She wanted to face things on her own.
Sitting across from the police, with the manager beside her, she made it clear that she had taken over the project halfway through and that she did not
know the original design and materials used.
The police also made it clear that she should be held t o account for the problems as they occurred in the recent month, although she had taken over the project halfway through.
Hearing the police's words, Sherman couldn't help but sneer. She thought it was ridiculous. She asked bluntly, "Then am I also responsible for the sinking foundation?"
