Putting the newspaper aside, Sherman stared at Luke. She could feel that Luke was being sarcastic with her," What exactly are you trying to say?"
"With my goodwill for you, I'd like to tell you something you don't know. Kingsley had been married. He had a wife, who was killed by a robber. What happened to you last night is very similar to what had happened to his wife back then. The only difference is that his wife bled a lot. Do you think he was so worried about you because he really loves you, or because he was just stimulated by the previous incident and shifted the guilt from his wife to you?"
Hearing this, Sherman froze in place and remained silent for a long while. She was very quiet.
Luke was smiling, "Feeling sad?"
After coming back to her senses, Sherman shrugged." No, I just feel curious and shocked. I didn't expect that he had been married, and by the way, did he have any child?"
Sherman was telling the truth. Just as Kingsley said before that it was impossible that a thirty-four-year-old man had never been in relationships.
It was normal that he had been married.
Surprised by Sherman's reaction, Luke unconsciously grabbed his coffee cup more tightly. But he replied smilingly, "No."
"That's good. What is your purpose for telling me about these? I can feel that you are hostile and unfriendly to me. I am wondering why you do so. Do you like him? Or is it because of something else?" Sherman asked.
"You are really sharp." Luke still smiled. "Currently, I won't tell you the reason. I am afraid it will give you a blow. I'm waiting for you to discover it yourself."
Luke refused to tell her. Although Sherman was very curious, she did not ask him again. Then the conversation between them ended. After brushing teeth and washing his face, Kingsley sat at the table, gazing deeply at Sherman. Then he said gently, "Come over to eat breakfast."
Sherman asked for coffee and didn't eat the baguette. She didn't like baguettes much, and she thought they were too chewy.
