On the other side…
After sending Aaron back, Emmett prepared to leave. But he bumped into Daniel who just came back
from outside.
He asked, “Have you found them?”
Daniel walked to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He gulped down the glass of water
and replied, “Not yet. But I’ve arranged some people to keep an eye on this. He can’t get out of the City
N.”
Emmett nodded his head and asked, “Where’s William?”
“He hasn’t come back yet. I heard that he took away Jeffrey.”
Hearing the words, Emmett was silent for a long while. Then he said, “Now this matter almost comes to
an end. Does he still plan to keep it a secret from Stella?”
Daniel put down his glass and said slowly, “Ms. Radomil also asked me a similar question before. But I
think he won’t do this.”
“Is it because of Channing?”
“Maybe it’s partly because of him.”
“What about other reasons?”
“If a person who is supposed to die many years ago in other people’s eyes suddenly show up, and
most importantly, with the appearance of the other person, I think it’s not that easy for others to accept
this.”
If it wasn’t for Stella, William wouldn’t stay here for too long. When this matter was completely over, he
would leave the city right away.
Then ‘Charles’ would disappear in this world.
Emmett knitted his brows, “But you also know that the situation is different from the past. Stella has the
right to learn about the truth. We can keep this a secret from her all the time.”
“I understand. But my understanding doesn’t make any difference. Can you persuade him?”
Emmett pressed his lips together and didn’t speak again.
Although William looked gentleman and elegant for the time being, they all knew that he had done
many things for seeking revenge over the past years and some of them could be described as cruel.
The original Charles had died in that explosion and his character was totally different now.
Daniel said, “As for the things you mentioned just now, we can’t be anxious of it. Lyndon hasn’t been
caught now. We can decide on it based on the follow-ups.
Emmett groaned an answer, “Then I will come back first.”
“Okay.”
After Emmett’s leaving, Aaron walked out of his bedroom, “Daniel.”
Daniel pinched his cheeks, “What’s the matter?”
Aaron looked up at him, “I sought revenge for my parents today, right?”
“Of course, you’ve done a good job.” Daniel pondered for a while and then added, “You’ve done what
you should do. Don’t think of seeking revenge again and come back to school to focus on your study.”
Aaron asked, “When will he be caught?”
“He will be caught one day. You should believe that fairness will come one day, even though it will only
come ten years or twenty years later. Those who have committed a crime will be punished in the end.”
“I know. William came back for seeking revenge two.”
Daniel chuckled, “How do you know?”
Aaron snorted, “I often heard your conversations. Anyway, I know this.”
“Let’s drop this topic. I want to ask you one thing: Did you find Sherry’s number on my phone and come
to find her?”
Aaron took two steps backward, “I suddenly feel sleepy. Good night, Daniel.”
After finishing the words, he turned around and quickly ran back his bedroom.
Looking at his back, Daniel chuckled, closed the door and left.
Sitting in the car, Daniel held the steering wheel with one hand and randomly put the other hand on the
car window. He looked at the front calmly, seeming to be pondering something.
He had only stay in this place for several months, but now he suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
Daniel licked his lips, seeming to think of something. He buckled his seatbelt and drove ahead.
…
Sherry prepared to go to bed after browsing the news, but she suddenly heard the doorbell.
She didn’t order a take-out food and it was so late now. Who could it be?
Sherry walked to the door and looked at the screen beside the door. She didn’t expect that it was
Daniel.
Sherry opened the door a crack and exposed half of her face, “Do you have any matter?”
Daniel was amused by her action, “Why do you act like this? I’m not an evil man.”
“Perhaps. After all, no good man would knock at the door of a single woman at one o’clock at night.”
Daniel, “…”
He said, “It’s good that you’re vigilant when living alone. But it’s unnecessary to apply this on me.”
Sherry said, “Spill the beans. I prepare to go to bed.”
“Can’t… can’t I get into the house and have a talk?”
Sherry thought it a waste of time to continue this topic here and opened the door, “Come in.”
“Thank you.”
Sitting on the sofa, Sherry held a bolster in her arms and said slowly, “I’ve seen the news today. You
specially visit me now. Do you want to tell me that since Lyndon’s true face has been exposed, it’s
unnecessary for us two to continue acting? I’m clear of it even if you don’t come here to tell me this…”
Daniel interrupted her, “Not for this matter.”
Sherry was surprised, “Nor for this matter? Then for what?”
“I want to tell you that I’ve bothered you a lot during this period.”
“Oh, this matter…It doesn’t worth your special visit. After all, I was not helping you. I did those things
for Stella.”
Daniel coughed, “Actually I want to tell you the other thing.”
Sherry asked, “What’s it?”
“I… I will probably leave this place.”
Sherry was a bit stunned when she heard the words. Probably she didn’t expect this. But it seemed like
this made sense.
Since he had achieved the goals in this place, it was unnecessary for him to stay here any longer.
Sherry suddenly looked at him vigilantly, “Why do you tell me this? Do you want me to treat you a
meal?”
Daniel, “…”
Before he could reply, Sherry continued, “All right. Since we’ve know each other for a long time and
you’ve treated me meals for many times, I will treat you a meal as a farewell ceremony, all right?”
Sherry paused and then said, “When will you leave?”
“I’m not sure of it. Probably after catching Lyndon.”
“Well.” Sherry groaned an answer and then added, “You can order everything you want to eat, but
remember they can’t be too expensive.”
Daniel said, “Rest assured. I’m not picky.”
Sherry said, “Then goodbye?”
Knowing that she was suggesting him to leave, Daniel didn’t stay any longer. He stood up and said, “I
will leave now. Have a rest earlier.”
When Daniel left, Sherry didn’t send him to the door.
When there came the sound of door closing, Sherry finally slumped on the sofa. She weakly took out
her phone and texted Stella: [Stella, I’m crossed in love again.]
After sending the message, Sherry tossed her phone aside, stood up, went to the kitchen and took out
a can of beer.
Just as she walked back to the sofa, she heard the ringtone of her phone. It was a call from Stella.
Sherry sat down cross-legged. She pulled open the can of beer while answering the call, “Stella,
haven’t you gone to bed?”
