Chapter 130 An Album
Chapter 130 An Album
Sherry felt immensely satisfied tonight. Walking out of the restaurant, she tugged at William's shirt and whispered, "William, don't do that. You can actually go back tonight ..."
"I'll do what I say. I'm yours tonight. Don't kick me out!" Unable to say whether it was a command or a request, William suddenly pulled Sherry back into his embrace. He held her tightly. "Sherry, don't care what Darcy says. I do love you, and no one can change that!"
After all these years, Lucille was just a habit for him too. The three years he had lived without Lucille had been good. But this woman in his arms made him have the feeling of finding a soul mate. There were so many things about her that touched him.
She was virtuous, stoic, beautiful and gentle, shy and innocent, all of which fascinated him so much. And before that, she helped Lucille to achieve her aim with tears.
All he knew was that she was in his blood and bones. When love came, it couldn’t be judged by the length of time spent together. Sometimes a moment of love was worth a lifetime of being together. And after she had given him that moment, he would never want to let it go. He wanted to turn a great moment like that into a lifetime of togetherness. Perhaps he really was greedy!
For a moment, she felt a little upset, and then she nodded, "Okay, you're mine tonight, and no one can take you away!"
His lips curled up, and he embraced her. "Come on, let's go home!"
The early winter wind was a little chilly, and Sherry shivered subconsciously. Noticing that she was shivering, he immediately took off his suit and wrapped her up tightly before embracing her again.
His thoughtful gesture made her feel even warmer. And this small gesture suddenly took on great significance. He really was a thoughtful and considerate man.
Sherry was immediately smiling. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him quickly on the lips, "Thank you!"
He froze and was surprised by her initiative. He subconsciously touched his lips, then looked at her in his arms, and suddenly smiled happily. If he wasn't worried about her getting cold, he would have kissed her here!
He took her by the hand, quickly got back into the car, and opened the door for her again. When she was seated, he closed the door again before returning to the driver's side. The moment he opened the door, his eyes caught a glimpse of the black figure in front of the restaurant and his eyes narrowed slightly before he got into the car without making any stops.
Darcy had watched their figures, watched him take Sherry's hand to the car, and watched him be so considerate of another woman. And the thought that all this had once belonged to her sister made Darcy's eyes turned sharp.
…
Early in the morning, William actually drove Sherry to work himself.
Wearing the clothes he had a brand company send to her overnight last night, Sherry only felt awkward. "Is it really okay for me to dress like this?"
Sherry never wanted to wear designer clothes. Because it was too tiring to wear that. She just wanted to be invisible when she walked within the crowd, but the clothes he had sent yesterday were still worth a lot of money.
"That's plain enough! I don't want people to say my woman is shabby. Sweetie, you look pretty and nice to wear like this!" With that, he came over and said in an ambiguous and low voice, "But you look better without it!"
"William, I'm ignoring you!" She pushed him away and got out of the car.
"Sherry!" He got out of the car too. "You need to think about it seriously. It's much better to be my secretary than an old pervert's!"
"William, don't say that about Mr. Sutton. He's actually quite nice. I don't like it when you talk about him like that!" Sherry pouted.
"I don't like it when you defend him!" He was a little jealous.
"I'm going to work!" She ignored his protests.
"I'm going too!" William nodded, "I'll pick you up after work!"
She paused. "You go and look after Ms. Mclean tonight. I'll just go back on my own!"
"I'll see her this afternoon. I'll pick you up when I'm done watching her. Wait for me!" He didn't want to leave her for a moment. And he had to find a way to get her to resign no matter what.
He was going to continue to persuade her after work today. He had stayed with her all night last night and even during sex, he hadn't forgotten about asking her to resign, but she had said she wouldn't have sex with him if he asked her to resign again. How could this be?
"Got it!" She waved and walked towards the building.
William was just about to get into the car when he saw Keegan walk over from the other side and in a few steps, he was next to Sherry. He was startled and, not caring about his image, shouted, "Honey!"
Sherry turned around in surprise and her face immediately turned red! Damn it! He was shouting so loudly! Was he afraid that she wouldn't recognize his voice? Some of her colleagues were dumbfounded and looked over to William.
Seeing that Keegan seemed to be surprised, William was very proud of himself. Then he said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, I'll pick you up this afternoon!"
He declared his ownership of Sherry in a straightforward and domineering manner. Delighted with the shock he had created, William looked at many of Sherry's female colleagues to ask her.
"Sherry, you're married, aren't you?"
"Yeah, your husband seems to be the president of the Rowland Group?"
"He's so handsome!"
"..."
"Bye, honey!" William got into the car.
The blue Bugatti drove slowly away. Sherry's face was red. He did it on purpose, and he must have done it on purpose! She smiled awkwardly at everyone but didn't know how to explain, so she could only walk despondently upstairs.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Keegan went straight to the lift. And sherry didn't notice him either.
Cohen Sutton did not come to work all morning.
Keegan came to her office, knocked on the door and came in.
"Is something wrong?" She was surprised.
"Sierra seems to be very sick!" Keegan looked at her with a slightly complicated look.
Sherry's hand shook as she held the paper and spoke quickly, "Keegan, I don't know her!"
"Sherry, self-deception is just as painful!" After saying this, Keegan turned around and walked away.
Sherry's heart, however, fluttered She was sick! It seemed like she was very sick!
Hadn't she just fainted?
She would be fine!
Even if she wasn't okay, it had nothing to do with her!
Sherry sighed inwardly and continued to sort through her papers. But she was getting even more irritated inside. And at that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
She was a little surprised to see that it was an unfamiliar number. When she answered it, she found it was Darcy.
"Miss Murray, this is Darcy. Can we meet?" Darcy's cold, arrogant voice came out in a way that was not to be denied.
"Ms. Mclean?" Sherry was a little puzzled. What did she want with her? "I'm working!"
"I'll be waiting for you at Seah Restaurant by your office during the lunch break!"
"Ms. Mclean, why do I need to see you?" Sherry asked.
"I'm going to show you something. Maybe you'll be interested!"
Sherry froze and answered the appointment anyway.
When Sherry arrived at Seah Restaurant, she found Darcy already waiting there! Sherry walked over and saw her standing up with a cold face. Darcy was actually a very beautiful woman, only her face was always cold.
"Miss Murray, please sit down!" Darcy reached out her hand to gesture.
Sherry stood still and looked at Darcy silently, then sat down. "Ms. Mclean, what did you call me here to show me?"
Darcy raised her eyebrows. "Miss Murray, are you sure you don't mind what's going on with my sister and William?"
Sherry looked at her quietly, "It's a personal matter!"
"I thought you were a smart guy and it was smart of you to sacrifice for my sister and William in the beginning. Yet I didn't expect you to make a fool of yourself again!"
Sherry just laughed. "Ms. Mclean, you only called me here to tell me to leave William, didn't you?"
"I did mean to say that!"
"And if I say no?" Sherry asked.
"Then I'll really have to give you this thing! Maybe after looking at this thing, your resolution would begin to stagger. After that maybe you'll know what you need, or know what you should do!" Darcy said with confidence.
Sherry wondered what she was going to show her.
Darcy pulled a thick album from her bag and handed it over. "Miss Murray, here are some photos of my sister and William taken earlier. Have a look and then you'll see how much they loved each other! They were the envy of many people as a perfect couple!"
Sherry froze. Looking at the thick album, suddenly, she felt like something had hit her heart. So she wanted to show her their old pictures! She had a feeling that she was going to suffocate.
She pondered and then smiled faintly. "Ms. Mclean, how do you know I'm interested in knowing about William's past? What's past is past, there's no need to keep hanging on to it. William's past is not something I want to know about. I just want to know about the present and the future! I'm sorry, Ms. Mclean, I should go now!"
"Is that so?" Instead, Darcy stood up. "I'd better go first! I've delivered the album. You can throw it in the trash if you don't want it. But I still want to tell you very much that if you don't want it, you'll regret it! Because after you've seen it, you'll realize that maybe this man doesn't love you as much as you thought! And maybe, you'll be a thing of the past too!"
Darcy's words sent ripples through Sherry's heart. She froze on the spot.
Darcy curled her lips slightly. "Goodbye, Miss Murray!"
With that, she left. Sherry sat back in her seat and looked at the album. She tightened her grip on her bag and took a deep breath. Was she going to take a look?
When you are in love with someone, don't bother with his or her past. The past is the past! Never mind the past. Don't look at it. Don't look at it!
Sherry enlightened herself in her mind, but ...
But if she didn't look, she was torn inside. She wanted to know! She wanted to see how in love Lucille had been with him before. The ambivalence made her feel really hateful, and perhaps there was a dark demon deep in her heart too.
In her heart, she mumbled: To love someone, you have to trust each other, and to love someone, you have to understand each other!
When you love someone, you have to be more tolerant. When you love someone, you have to be broad-minded. When you love someone, you have to collect your inner vulnerability and grievances.
The most important thing is that love should be unselfish and without regret, and love must be clean and pure without a trace of impurity. When you love someone, you will do anything for him or her.
Well! It was just a few pictures! She would like to take a look. There was nothing that could not be faced!
"Whatever! I'll look!" Sherry muttered.
Picking up the album, she flipped it open!
The first one blew her away!
Pretty as a fairy, Lucille smiled gently. She leaned into William's arms, while he held her waist affectionately in his large arms. Their bodies were pressed together and William's smile was so bright.
Tears fell from Sherry's eyes at once. When she and he were in Hokkaido, someone wanted to take pictures of them, but he refused. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
He said he didn't like taking pictures, but he took a lot of them with Lucille. And in every one of them, he was smiling brightly. She flipped backward. As she saw more and more pictures and saw them getting more and more intimate, her heart ached with pain.
And in the later ones, she saw images of them actually kissing deeply together. They were so in love and so close to each other.
