Daniel took Sherry to a street full of restaurants and food stalls.
Sherry thought she was packed for lunch, but the food here whetted her appetite.
She hadn't had a proper meal since she boarded the plane yesterday.
Hence, her appetite was awakened suddenly.
She tried every stall and bought some takeout back to the hotel.
Daniel paid for everything while following her.
Sherry wanted to refuse, but it was easier for Daniel to talk to the stall owners. Hence, she didn’t insist
on paying the bill. Instead, she noted down the rough total and decided to transfer the money to him
after going back to the hotel.
After they left the street, Daniel asked, “Are you full?”
Sherry nodded, “Yep.”
She might have overeaten, to be honest.
Daniel asked, “Do you want to walk around or go back to the hotel?”
Sherry raised the bags in her hand and said, “It’s not convenient to walk around with them. I’d better go
back to the hotel.”
“Okay.”
The car arrived at the hotel after half an hour.
Sherry immediately unfastened the seat belt and said, “Thank you so much, Daniel. As for tomorrow,
you don’t need to...”
“I’ll come to pick you up at nine tomorrow morning.”
Before Sherry refused, Daniel had driven away.
Sherry stood in front of the entrance, gaping. She hadn’t finished her sentence.
Daniel left too fast.
She stood motionlessly for a few seconds, turned around, and walked into the hotel.
She put the takeout into the fridge. Lying prone in the bed, she called Stella and said apologetically,
“I’m sorry, Stella. I didn’t find any chance during lunch...”
Stella smiled. “It’s all right. How’s your day?”
Earlier, she was eager to know the DNA result because she could feel Channing was bothered by the
thought of Jeffrey. Although he didn’t complain, Stella knew he had been tortured by the matter.
However, she believed that Channing had already let go. It seemed he had found a way out, so he
wasn’t so obsessed with those things anymore.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to pursue Winnie.
Sherry heaved a sigh. “Alas... As soon as I entered your father’s company, I met Daniel. Besides...”
Sherry repeated what William had said during lunch to Stella.
She was tossing and turning on the bed. “Stella, can you tell Mr. William I’m OK by myself. There’s no
problem at all. I don’t need Daniel to accompany me.”
Stella raised her eyebrows slightly. “Well... I don’t think my words would work. You are a girl and abroad
alone. My father is an elder, so he feels responsible for your safety.”
Sherry sighed helplessly. She added, “By the way, I’ll transfer the money to you. Can you please give it
to Daniel on my behalf? I don’t want to add him on WhatsApp, because I'd have to delete him later. It’s
too troublesome.”
“All right. How much?”
Sherry said a number. Then she put the phone in hand-free mode and calculated the exchange rate
before transferring the money to Stella.
Stella said, “In fact, I don’t think he will accept it.”
Sherry was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t care. It’s alright if he doesn’t accept it. I’ve tried to
give it back to him anyway.”
“I’ll try.”
After chatting for a while, Sherry lay on the bed. She was sleepless.
When she woke up, it was completely dark outside.
Sherry rubbed her eyes, looking at the darkness outside the window while sitting on the bed.
She felt lonely again.
It made her depressed.
It was so boring to be here alone.
After the photograph exhibition tomorrow, she would go to William’s office again to see if there would
be any opportunities.
She would go home after getting whatever she wanted if it went smoothly.
Probably it was because of her nap for two hours in the afternoon. Sherry couldn’t fall asleep at all in
the evening. She was in a daze while sitting beside the window.
The scented candles behind her swayed quietly.
She clicked open a comedy on her phone.
However, the jokes didn't amuse her at all.
Sherry sighed and lay on the bed again.
Suddenly, something popped up in her mind.
Daniel wouldn’t go back to City N. Why did she calculate the exchange rate?
He might accept her money, but he would see through her insincerity.
Sherry was speechless.
She believed that she had made a mistake.
Before falling asleep, she decided to give him cash the next day.
Due to her insomnia, when Sherry woke up the following morning, it was half-past nine already.
She checked her phone and didn’t see any missed calls.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Probably Daniel didn't really mean it yesterday.
Sherry changed her clothes and tidied herself up. Then she carried her bag and went downstairs.
She walked out of the hotel and wanted to hail a taxi, only to find a familiar black vehicle parked in
front.
She wondered if that was Daniel’s car yesterday.
She couldn’t remember.
Hesitantly, she walked over and checked carefully.
When she was approaching the car, the window was suddenly wound down. “What are you looking
for?”
“Ah!” Sherry exclaimed as she was shocked.
Then she turned to look at the man who spoke.
She forgot she was in UK, where the driver’s seat was on the right.
Daniel smiled when seeing the startled look on her face. “Have you sobered up yet?”
Sherry patted her chest to calm down. “When... When did you arrive?”
“I said at nine. Don't you remember?”
“Why didn’t you call me?”
Daniel said, “We made an appointment, but you didn’t come downstairs, so I guessed you were still
sleeping. You are here for relaxing, so I can’t stop you from sleeping.”
Sherry was rendered speechless.
She couldn’t retort at all.
Daniel titled his head at her. “Get in.”
Sherry walked to the other side and sat in the passenger’s seat.
Daniel asked, “Where is the exhibition?”
Sherry pulled out her phone and stammered an address.
Daniel said, “Okay. I see.”
The location was a bit far away from the hotel. It would take them an hour by driving.
Sherry felt sleepy on the way. When she was about to fall asleep, Daniel said, “We’ve arrived.”
Sherry woke up immediately. She sat straight and looked out of the window to check. It was the place.
While unbuckling the seat belt, she said, “Why don’t you... wait for me in the car?”
