A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 997

Sherman was touched. Then, with a hint of a wicked grin on her face, she teased Kingsley, "What about my gift?"

Kingsley leaned over and approached her little by little until there was no distance between them. His eyes were like a deep pool to suck Sherman in, "Do you really want it?"

They were too close that Kingsley's breath sprayed on Sherman's face, which made Sherman's heart miss a beat. She only meant it as a joke, but he took it seriously.

Kingsley looked down, took out an envelope from his pocket, and stared at her, "Do you want it?"

Sherman did not respond to him but turned her head and looked away to avoid his gaze.

Kingsley looked at Sherman with a twinkle in his eyes, and Sherman sniffed a sense of danger.

Then Kingsley pushed himself upright and stood up straight as a soldier. He looked at her intently and gave her the envelope.

But Sherman did not accept it, and her eyes became dull. Then Kingsley chuckled, put the envelope on the dresser, and smoothed her hair, "How clever you are..."

He then said he was going to buy breakfast and told her to freshen up. After that, he went downstairs.

After he left, Sherman hesitated for a while and opened the envelope Kingsley had given her.

In the envelope, in addition to a marriage registration form, were ownership certificates of some properties i n Norwood and Lanochette.

Her conjectures proved right. He put a lot of thought into the gifts for her and the baby.

However, Sherman was not ready for marriage. She had been so badly hurt by her previous marriage that she was not brave enough to move on to the next one!

Marriage was different from courtship. One could fall i n love twice, three times, or more, but not with marriage.

Kingsley brought back Chinese and Western breakfast, and he looked mild.
