She leaned forward and hugged Sherman with sympathy. Patting her back, she said, "Tell me, what d o you want to do?"
"I don't know..." Sherman gripped her collar tightly with both hands, in front of where it hurt the most, as though being stabbed. "I want to forgive... but there’s a n obstacle in my heart..."
That scene would surface in her memory from time to time, and no matter how hard she tried, she wasn’t able to erase it.
"Listen, this is different. I can help you decide on other things, but for this, you do what makes your heart feel good and comfortable."
Summer's voice was slow and solemn, but they were words from the bottom of her heart.
"Hmph, what makes you feel good? Cut off his d*ck. That would be the best feeling!" Grace gritted her teeth as she uttered coldly.
"Can we speak with reason? If not, just shut up, okay?" She had no idea how to deal with Grace.
Grace waved with her wine glass in her hand. "Alright, alright, alright. I just need to keep quiet, yeah?"
Summer turned and shifted her focus to Sherman. "So,
any idea now?" "Summer... surely you know... I love him very much... I loved him for six years... I don't want to let go... but if I choose to forgive... I still can't forget what happened..."
To a woman, being cheated on was often a death sentence.
Summer could empathize with her; even if she did forgive Billy, there would still be a gap; and it was very difficult to mend.
This incident had no doubt become a scar in their hearts; if reminded, it would certainly bring back pain.
Nevertheless, Sherman's love for Billy was a very profound one. That's why it felt so painful, trembling, and incapable of reason.
