Luke looked deeply at Sherman...
Lying on the bed, Natalie's face getting paler and paler.
When Billy walked in, she opened her eyes at once.
He hung his suit jacket casually on his arm and asked, "Why are you getting paler and paler?"
Before Natalie could say anything, the housekeeper said, "Mr. Day, Ms. Moore wanted to prepare dinner for you just now, but she was so weak that she almost fell."
"I'm fine." Natalie shook her head and smiled gently a s usual. But she couldn't hide her haggard look.
She thought, 'Men love considerate women. I am more considerate and gentle than Sherman. I should receive unexpected results.'
Natalie was waiting for Billy to propose to her. She firmly believed that this day should come soon.
"You should have a good rest. Jane Smith will make dinner. I'm going to take a shower."
In the bathroom.
As the warm water ran down his head, Billy wiped the
water off his face with his big hands and propped his arms on the bathroom wall.
He was thinking about one thing. He thought of Sherman and Natalie...
'If I want to pursue Sherman, I shouldn't continue being with Natalie...'
Billy cheated on Sherman in his previous marriage. H e knew he wasn't the man who could take the responsibility. But he took the relationship seriously and shouldn't be considered as a scum. The only wrong thing he did was that during their marriage, he fooled around with Natalie behind Sherman's back.
But he thought that he was forced to do that. He didn't get along well with Sherman back then. The subdued atmosphere between him and Sherman almost made him go crazy!
Otherwise, if he wanted to cheat on Sherman, he could have done it countless times with different women in seven years. Instead, he was just together with Natalie...
Natalie had been with him for a period of time. Other than Sherman, she was the only woman who stayed b y his side for a long time. 1
She hadn't gotten anything from him. She had an abortion for him. At this moment, she is lying in bed weakly. He felt sorry for her.
But Billy didn't want to ignore Sherman and be with Natalie from now on.
