A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1035

"Then I'll take it as a compliment. Actually, I have no intention of staying here for long. I've heard that Santabaca is famous for its mountains and lakes. And it has waterfalls and canyons. I like the canyons the most because they are beautiful and mysterious. Santabaca is my first stop. My next stop will be Churnell, and then Mowo, Wolsher, La Phiree Palace and so on." Merlin's eyes lighted up with excitement a s she talked about her trip.

After thinking about it for a while, Sherman hesitated, and then she said, "Well, I don't think the La Phiree Palace is a good idea. Don't you have heart trouble? The altitude of La Phiree Palace is too high and the oxygen is thin there. What if you can't breathe?"

Merlin thought Sherman was right. Then she chuckled, "It's fun talking to you."

Sherman laughed. She thought Merlin really had a good temper.

When Kingsley walked in, he saw the two talking and laughing. His eyebrows raised slightly in surprise. Striding his long legs, he walked over to them. His arm propped up on the kitchen counter, he asked in a mild voice, "You two look like having fun. What are you talking about?"

"It's a secret." Merlin said. Sherman was cooking. It smelled good. Merlin looked up and smiled," Sherman's a great cook."

Kingsley curled his lips and whispered his agreement.

Sherman made steak, shrimp, vegetable salad, penne, and soup. After setting the table, Sherman asked," Where's Lee?"

"He's in his room sorting out the files."

"Call him to join us. Lee's missed you so much in your absence."

Kingsley rubbed his brow, his deep eyes shimmering." He's better off without me. I'd rather you missed me."

With Merlin's presence, Sherman felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she pointed at the door, "Go get Lee to come to lunch."

"Okay." Kingsley smiled lightly without saying anything else and left.

Watching this scene, Merlin showed a smile on the corners of her mouth. She had mixed feelings. When Kingsley was with Zora, he never joked like this.

Lee looked awkward, and he waved his hands repeatedly. He wouldn't sit down.
