The woman shook her head and looked around. She asked, "Is there a cafe or a restaurant nearby?"
"There's a cafe across the street. It's a nice place." Looking around, Sherman said. She looked peaceful and calm. She was neither humble nor arrogant. She didn't pander to them, nor was she behaving intimately with them.
She didn't want anything from them, so she was calm and peaceful.
Kingsley's parents looked at each other, and then they looked at Sherman again. They nodded in agreement.
The cafe was very close, within a few steps. They got into the cafe. Sherman handed the menus to them and asked them to order their drinks.
The couple ordered two cups of coffee, and Sherman ordered a glass of milk.
Kingsley's mother spoke first, "Ms. Holmes, may I ask how long you and Kingsley have been together?"
"About four months." Sherman replied. Her voice was light but polite.
"Then, in four months, how much you know about Kingsley?" Kingsley's mother asked again, her tone gentle.
Sherman smiled faintly, "Not much. I can't say how well or how little I know about him. I suppose since you came all the way to see me today, you must have something to say to me."
Then Kingsley's father spoke, "Do you know Luke?"
'Luke?' Sherman raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Yes, I know him."
Immediately, Sherman sensed something in her mind. The couple's visit must have something to do with Luke, and Luke's sister was seriously ill.
Thinking about these, it became clear in Sherman's mind.
