A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 779

Because of those words, they stopped talking, which brought a kind of embarrassing atmosphere in the car. Actually it was much more embarrassing than before.

They drove forward and finally stopped in front of a residential building. Sherman sat upright and took a deep breath, "I'm sorry."

It meant rejection...

"I'm supposed to be the one to say sorry. It's still raining outside, and I guess you need an umbrella..."

Leaning forward, Kingsley took out an umbrella from the back seat and gave it to her, as if her refusal didn't affect him at all.

Though being rejected, he maintained his gentility and politeness. This was probably the difference between a mature man and a normal one.

Sherman took the umbrella, got off the car and left after reminding him of safe drive.

Back to her apartment, Sherman sat on the sofa with a cup of warm water in her hand. Her mind was wandering.

Sherman couldn't understand why an outstanding man like him would be interested in her, a woman

who just got a divorce.

He was not kidding, but she coouldn't understand the reason he gave...

Standing up, she observed herself in front of the mirror. She was not pretty, just a normal woman in medium size.

Without thinking too much, Sherman shook her head and went to her bedroom.

Kingsley was too shining, outstanding and always the focus of audience, but she had got self-knowledge. What's more, she was not going to start a new relationship at that moment.

For seven years of affection, perseverance and sacrifice, what she got in return was Billy's betrayal.

How could she believe in love after having gone through so much?

Now she was scarred and exhausted after giving and being hurt so much. As for love, it brought her nothing but the fear.

To this day, she would still had nightmares sometimes.

The next day, Sherman went to the manager's office. She was really unsure about this business proposal. In addition, she was not capable of that.

After knowing her intention, the manager waved his hand and asked her to go out, reacting exactly the same as what he did last time.
