She wore slippers and did not change her shoes. She stood there. The rain wafted along the wind and fell o n her. She felt a bit cold and took a step back. But the slippers were a bit slippery so she fell straight forward.
Upon seeing this, Kingsley threw down the umbrella and stretched out his big hand to support her body that fell from above. As a result, the faces of the two were pressed tightly together. She was afraid of falling and subconsciously stretched out her arms to encircle his neck...
It was raining heavily. Just after a while, they two were all drenched. His cheeks were warm and the fragrance emanating from his body smelled very good. Her heart was beating fast as she was very embarrassed about the current situation she had caused. So, she apologized, "I'm sorry!"
"You seem to have been saying sorry to me from the beginning to now..." He opened his thin lips lightly. His calm voice was deep and pleasant to the ear in the ticking rain.
When Sherman uttered these words, Kingsley carried her body in his arms. He moved his long legs to step u p. Then he released his hold on her waist after standing in the rain shelter.
She had already noticed that Kingsley held her all the time. She closed her eyes and then withdrew her arms from around his neck, feeling extremely embarrassed. She stood still and said, "I change it to ‘thank you’."
Kingsley smiled. "Are there any other words?"
"For a life-saver, I think these words are the most appropriate." Sherman said.
"There seems to be another way of showing gratitude. That is marrying your life-saver..."
Sherman was slightly startled. Then she gave a smile and then looked at him with her dark eyes. "I didn't expect Mr. Wright would also be joking."
"I look serious?" Kingsley raised his eyebrows and asked.
"A little. Mr. Wright is not like a person who often jokes. You are noble and detached." Sherman answered very honestly as she never told lies.
"Your compliment to me is a great honor." When he said these words, he raised the corners of his mouth a little at the thought of Sherman’s remark on him. "I have eaten a lot of the dishes you just cooked and it can be considered that I am not so detached..."
Hearing this, Sherman couldn't help but smile, with deep dimples in the corners of her mouth, but her smile was light.
"Good night..." Kingsley stepped down the steps and picked up the umbrella that had fallen on the ground.
