Seeing Kingsley nod his head in response, Luke was content. He was grateful." Thanks!"
Luke knew Kingsley’s character very well.
Although Kingsley used to be gentle and mild, if he got enraged, no one could turn him back.
After the things Luke had done, Kingsley nodded to him at the occasion, which meant that he had forgiven Luke.
Luke started his step and walked slowly forward.
Suddenly, Sherman shouted from behind, ” Luke!"
Luke's brow furrowed slightly, he paused his step and looked back at her.
Sherman had a smile on her face and shouted, "Eileen is really a wonderful woman!"
Hearing her words, Luke paused. His lengthy body froze, and he stood still.
He had never expected Sherman to say such words to him. He was surprised.
Luke paused for a moment. Then he continued to walk forward.
Kingsley took off his trench coat and draped it over Sherman's shoulders. "Why would you say that to Luke?"
"I didn't want Eileen to end up like me. Even if for Merlin’s sake, I wish Luke to live a happy life."
Sherman wrapped the coat tighter.
"They're different from me and Billy.
They’ve got Brad. Maybe they can get back together."
Billy had betrayed their marriage for another woman, because of whom Sherman miscarried their baby, so she couldn’t forgive him.
Sherman had tried to forgive Billy. She had tried so hard, but it didn't work.
Luke was a good man. He would let go of Zora's death sooner or later and realize the importance of cherishing the one who loved him.
