Billy frowned and he was panting with anger. He drank the bubble tea, which was too sweet. It was also hot and scalded his mouth a little. He threw the bubble tea into the trash can.
He felt that Sherman was getting smarter and more cunning. She just said that she wanted to drink bubble tea but he believed her!
Back to the villa, Sherman found that Kingsley was not at home but Luke was there. She ignored Luke and made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. Then she sat a t the dining table to eat it.
Luke didn't eat dinner, either. He smelled the aroma of the noodles and felt a little hungry. He got up and went to the kitchen. When he glanced at the pot, it was clean and there were no leftover noodles.
Sherman didn't seem to see his behavior and still ate silently. Luke called the restaurant to deliver some food.
Neither of them talked to each other. At the end, as if thinking of something, Sherman raised her head and said, "You did it on purpose last night, right?"
Luke ate dinner and shrugged. He did not make any remarks, whatever she thought.
"What is going to happen will happen after all. Do you think you can stop Kingsley?"
Luke looked up and looked away, showing no expression. "When we first met, you were not so annoying."
"I have the same feeling. We finally reach an agreement." Sherman took a sip of the noodle soup. Then she got up and went to the bedroom.
When she worked until eleven o'clock at work, she went to sleep. But Kingsley had not come back yet, nor had he called her or sent text messages.
Sherman had already clicked on the address book. She hesitated for a while, but in the end, she still did not call Kingsley. ‘Maybe he is very busy right now.'
It was a dreamless night. Sherman woke up very early the next morning. It was six o'clock. Kingsley was not at home and she needed to go to work by herself.
When he was at home, she could be lazy and sleep for another twenty minutes. When he was not at home, she must get up early. Otherwise, she would not catch the bus.
When she walked to the living room, Luke was reading the newspaper intently, with coffee in front of him. Sherman glanced at him and warmed up a cup of milk.
"I thought you divorced because of a disagreement. It turns out that another woman grabbed your husband."
