Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua) novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335

‘She’s 26? That’s the same age as me,‘ Roy thought. Well, not exactly. He was actually 25, younger than both Joshua and Henry

He’d just fudged his age by a year on his driver’s license.

‘Only a year older than me. No biggie. The main thing is she’s single,’ Roy thought.

As soon as he hopped in the car, he chugged a bottle of mineral water. Anxious and parched, he unscrewed another and gulped it down.

Loang’s weather wasn’t hot. If anything, it was downright chilly. Up front, Molly watched Roy guzzle water. ‘Is this guy always this thirsty? He’s a walking contradiction,‘ she thought.

“How long are you crashing in Loang, Shermaine?” Molly asked.

“About a week,” Shermaine replied.

Molly lit another slim cigarette, crossing her legs. “Cool. Hit me up after your conference wraps.”

The second they pulled up to the hotel, Roy dashed for the restroom. When he came out, Molly was already gone. His mood took a nosedive.

‘Does she have WhatsApp?‘ he wondered. He wanted her WhatsApp so they could keep the convos going.

It had been rolling for a while now, with some sections almost done. He’d swung by to check progress during his downtime.

“You’re turning into the perfect househusband,” Shermaine teased, eyes crinkling.

Joshua chuckled, “Heard Roy flew to Ustrana today too–same flight as you, right? Did you cross paths?” Their knack for accidental run-ins was borderline supernatural.

“Uh–huh,” she said. “He spent the whole ride grilling me about my friend. He wouldn’t let it drop.”

Joshua cocked an eyebrow. “Lucky bastard.”

‘Shermaine’s crew is always A–list, like Danielle. This Loang friend is bound to be just as badass,‘ he thought.

Joshua twirled the platinum ring on his finger and went on, “Besides Dr. Shelly, I haven’t met any of your other friends.”

“Doesn’t Trance count?”

“He’s a love rival.”

Until Trance got married, he’d always been a riyal to Joshua.

Shermaine chuckled, “I don’t have many friends. If you want to meet them, you definitely will at our wedding.”

“When exactly is “later“?” Joshua had long wanted to hold a wedding, to let the whole world know that Shermaine was his wife, the love of his life,
