Moriah could hear Billy and Natalie quarreling clearly from downstairs. Natalie grew more and more agitated.
Natalie didn't want to stay home alone, so she went to the bar.
She ran into Leonel at the bar. He shook his red wine glass and asked, "Well, would you like a drink?"
She had no one to drink with and no place to vent her anger, so she agreed, "Go someplace private. I don't want anyone to see me with you."
He said with a smile, "No problem."
The bar belonged to the Gorton family, so it wasn't hard for him to find someplace private.
He took her to the private room - his private room.
Usually, he was the only one who stayed here. There was no surveillance here. No one could go near here without his order.
She was here to get drunk today, so she filled her wine glass up. She spoke sarcastically to him, slapped him with her hand and treated him as an outlet for her anger.
She hit and kicked him. Finally, she deliberately splashed the bit of red wine left in her glass on him.
But he had a tender heart for her. No matter how she treated him, he would bear it all with a smile.
She drank bottle after bottle. She didn't know how many bottles she drank. It may be two, or three.
In the end, she was so drunk that she could hardly be helped up.
He took her into his arms. He smiled and laid her down on the couch. He undressed her and then pounced on her.
Sherman didn't go to work today. It was Saturday. She bought some vegetables to make a green salad for lunch.
Summer came by her house with Charlotte. Sherman and Summer were talking. Charlotte rested on her knees, drawing.
She was especially fond of drawing these days. She bit the crayon and shook her body when she got into i t, which made both of them laugh.
Summer came over to chat with Sherman today because she was free. Soon after she arrived, Lee called Sherman and said Mr. Wright would be back today.
Sherman frowned and said, "I haven't heard him talk about it." "He made the decision on the spur of the moment." "Then take me to the airport, please." Sherman wanted to pick him up.
Lee agreed and hung up the phone. Summer stared at Sherman meaningfully.
Sherman smiled, for she didn't care so much in front o f her good friend. Summer smiled and shook her head. She patted her daughter's back and said, "Time to leave, Charlotte."
"Aunt Sherman, are you going to pick up your man?" Charlotte said in her young voice while picking up her crayons.
However, Sherman pretended to be serious and said," Who taught you that?"
"I think I'm right. Mommy, let's go. Aunt Sherman is going to pick up her man. Daddy might not be able to take good care of my little brother. He just lets him make trouble and I have to go home to take care of him."
Sherman pressed her fingertip against Charlotte's forehead and said, "Hey, are you the only one who can take good care of your little brother?"
Summer shrugged her shoulders. Then she said to Charlotte, "If you can take good care of your brother, why didn't you stay cool when he pooped on you?"
"Mommy, why did you mention that? Let's go." Charlotte coughed a little on purpose and took Summer's hand to leave.
Sherman and Lee went to the airport together. When they got to the airport, they just sat there and waited.
Kingsley came back to Santabaca without telling Sherman, so she was a little jealous of Lee and stared a t him.
Lee was uncomfortable with Sherman's gaze and kept moving. He thought Ms. Holmes had such sharp eyes.
After they had waited for more than half an hour, the flight finally arrived. Sherman stood up. She thought i t was just the right angle. She could see Kingsley as soon as he showed up at the arrivals hall.
