"I think Mr. Wright handled it pretty well. It would have been irresponsible for him to have resisted the marriage, or to have been married for real. Obviously, neither was the best choice."
Sherman wasn't listening to her.
Grace shut her mouth. She had said that everyone saw things differently.
They had hotpot in the morning until noon. They spent the afternoon nestling on the couch, watching a variety show to relax and cheer up their spirits.
Grace left in the evening. When she got home, she called Summer and told her about Sherman. She told her what she thought about it, and one of her friends said that their marriage was for charity.
Summer smiled and asked Grace, "Do you know what charity means? It is kindness.
However, that Mr. Wright married Merlin was not out o f kindness.
It was out of guilt, and he wanted to repay the favor. It was completely different from charity. What he wanted was peace of mind. He hoped he would not feel guilty or regretful afterward. One day when he thought about it, he could have peace in his mind.
For one matter, people might have various opinions. Grace thought it was no big deal because she had never experienced betrayal in her marriage. She didn't understand the pain.
However, Sherman's last marriage was interfered with by Natalie, so she must have hated a third person in a relationship. When she found out that she had inadvertently played that role, from her standpoint, she could surely not accept it.
For Mr. Wright, although Grace had not seen him much, she could see that he was an assertive and responsible man. He should not be deliberately fooling around with Sherman.
Sherman and Billy were together for seven years, from falling in love to getting married and finally divorcing. Grace had seen Billy quite a lot of times, but still, she didn't know him well. But Mr. Wright was different.
As for where their relationship would go, leave it to the hand of God.
"If they were meant to be together, this incident would be considered a disturbance. If their relationship developed too smoothly, and Mr. Wright was so perfect, they might not be too sure about it. With this incident, their relationship would go through a crisis. There were always stumbles in any relationship."
"If they fell apart eventually, then there was no need to say anything."
