"My wife is Luke's younger sister, Merlin. She and Luke are twins. She was born a few seconds later than Luke, with a congenital heart defect..." He said.
Hearing this, Sherman finally understood why Luke's attitude toward her was so weird.
What's more, Luke had told her that if she discovered something about Kingsley one day, she would be painful and emotional.
At that time, she didn't understand why Luke said that. But now, she clearly understood that he was referring to the fact that Kingsley was married.
"Luke's parents and my parents were old friends. His parents died in a plane crash. At that time, my parents were on the same flight as his parents. It was a little late when my parents bought the tickets, so their seats weren't together. My mother got airsick. To take care of my mother, my father and Luke's mother exchanged seats. Luke's mother readily agreed and they were safe and sound along the way. However, when the plane was about to land, it rained heavily. The visibility was low and the speed of the plane was too fast. The plane made an emergency landing, but it failed. Therefore, it chose to fly for the second time. However, the plane's belly hit the ground. An accident happened. The passengers sitting in the front rows
have died. My father and mother were safe and sound. If they hadn't exchanged seats, Luke's mother would still be alive..."
It was the first time that Kingsley talked so much. He talked slowly and solemnly.
Kingsley pursed his lips and said in a softer voice," Our whole family feels guilty about the Bennington family. Two years ago, Luke proposed that I get married to Merlin. I only have family affection for Merlin. There is nothing else. Two years ago, Merlin's health was getting worse and worse. Even walking was a kind of difficulty for her. When she walked, she blushed and was breathing hard. Luke made use of our guilty conscience to ask me to marry Merlin. To repay the kindness of their parents, my parents agreed. But before we got married, we had a clear agreement..."
"The two sides, whether she or me, can do whatever w e want when we have a crush on someone else..."
"So, is this agreement protected by the law?" Sherman asked him with her hands tightened slightly.
Kingsley frowned. After a long silence, he stared at her deeply.
"This is not a reason. The most important thing is that you haven't divorced. Crucially, you pushed me to the position of a mistress. This is what I hate the most in my life. You have completely put me in such a situation!" Sherman's emotion was a little out of control.
