"It's like a beauty and her handsome lover trying to poison her short and sturdy husband!"
Luke said, "But you're not ordinary at all. Instead you're more attractive to women than me."
Sherman couldn't help but laugh. She didn't realize that Luke was very humorous.
Kingsley laughed lightly, "I'm tall. As for sturdy, Sherman, you should know me."
Luke raised his eyebrows and looked at Sherman.
"Bah! Don't say that." There was a flush in Sherman's cheeks.
How had she not realized that Kingsley would say such a thing?
"I didn't say anything and didn't mean anything. But it’s easy for you to think the wrong way."
Kingsley held Cody on his lap and gently scraped the bridge of Cody's nose with his long fingers, making Cody giggle.
Sherman was silent and so was Luke.
For a moment, the resentment and estrangement seemed to disappear. It was like they were back in the old days.
At this time, Cathy and Aaron came in. After greeting Luke, they left with Cody.
Just as they left, Tonell came in and asked, "Where is my lovely grandson?"
Sherman pointed to the back garden and said, "Grandpa, Cody had just been carried away by Cathy and Aaron."
Leaning on his crutches, Tonell grunted and decided to go to the back garden.
Seeing this scene, Luke had mixed feelings.
The Wright family had so many family members, but he and Brad were the only members of the Bennington family.
