Billy didn't know what to say. He was silent and rubbed his hands awkwardly.
Sherman said nothing and looked at him quietly. It was ironic that they met in such a scene.
"When did you find out that I cheated on you?" Billy asked.
"The moment I saw condoms in your luggage," Sherman answered calmly.
It was windy. Sherman wrapped her jacket tightly. Seeing that, Billy suggested, "It's cold, let's go to the cafe shop nearby."
Sherman stood still and said, "No, it’s fine. I don't have much time to talk to you." Billy suddenly reacted to what she said. ' The condoms in my luggage, huh?’
He had never put condoms in his luggage. I t seemed that Natalie must have done it.
It was true that he didn’t know people well. He always thought that Natalie was kind, considerate, and simple. Now it turned out that he had been fooled by Natalie.
Even though he was angry now, there was nothing he could do.
He made mistakes and what he lost would never come back.
"I owe you an apology for what had happened. I'm sorry." Billy said slowly.
"Forget about it. Actually, our seven-year relationship can’t stand the test of temptation. We've been together for seven years, and you're in love with a woman you haven't known for a long time. After spending a long time together, I thought we had a tacit understanding. Even if I say nothing, you know what I mean and what I want. But finally, I realized I was totally wrong. We're done. I don't want to talk about it again. That's it."
Sherman was going to say something else, but after hesitation, she gave up. Now they had nothing to do with each other, and what happened between her and Billy was all in the past. There was no need to say anything else.
