Daniel had been standing outside the door for an hour. He really felt his leg sour.
In fact, Sherry didn’t kick him out. What actually happened was that when he said he wanted to attend
tonight’s dinner party, Sherry asked him to seek the agreement of Stella and Clarence himself.
He knew Stella very much. If Clarence refused to let him in, Stella would feel sympathetic for him since
he had been standing here for a long time.
But he was somewhat exhausted now.
When Sherry got out and noticed he was still standing there, she said surprisedly, “Why are you still
here?”
“They refused to let me in,” replied Daniel.
Sherry said thoughtfully, “Well, then you keep waiting here. I will get in the room.”
Without a word, Daniel heaved a sigh.
Before the door, Sherry turned back to look at him, “If you get tired, you may well have a rest in my
room. You know Stella refused to let you in for a reason. She won’t let you in anyway.”
“I’m all right. Don’t bother.”
Sherry nodded and rang the doorbell.
It was Stella who opened the door.
Looking at her, Daniel put on a friendly smile.
Stella smiled awkwardly before she closed the door promptly.
Then she whispered to Sherry, “What is he doing? He wants to get in my place or yours?”
Sherry shrugged and had a secret glimpse at Channing, who was sitting on the sofa, “I think he may
have the same intention as we do.”
It was actually quite simple. Daniel was the adopted son of William and also a friend of Emmett Carter.
Plus, the mistake in the paternity test report was made by Emmett.
That’s why he wanted to make it up for Channing. For one thing, it was his duty to do so. For another,
the mistake was made by his friend. Only when Channing have forgiven Emmett would William forgive
him.
Stella felt a little bit confused, “Maybe you are right. But keeping waiting at the door might not be a
good choice…”
Sherry whispered, “So how does Channing think of it?”
Stella sneered, “He has just finished his quarrel with Clarence.”
Sherry was astonished by what she said.
Clarence and Channing?
She had just missed such a dramatic scene!
Having been whispering to each other for a while, they looked away from each other as Channing
turned back to look at them.
Stella got back to the kitchen.
Sherry walked towards Channing calmly as if nothing had happened. She looked around and asked
curiously, “Isn't Winnie with you, Channing?”
“Winnie said she had an activity to attend in the evening. She had to leave the city this afternoon.”
replied Channing.
Before Sherry could reply, Channing asked, “You won’t let him in?”
Sherry was stunned, “Me?”
Clarence said coldly, “It won’t be me anyway.”
Sherry was a bit confused. Stella had just told her that they were in a quarrel. Now they were both
going at her.
How come? Did she look like a pushover?
Halting for a second, Sherry looked at Channing and said tentatively, “Then… shall I let him in?”
Channing said slowly, “Up to you.”
Sherry instantly stood up to open the door and said to the man waiting out there.
Daniel looked at her confusedly.
With his arm in hand, Sherry whispered to him, “It was Channing who let you in. Be careful of your
words in there.”
Seeing her suddenly get closer, Daniel halted his breath and stared at her fascinatedly.
Her eyelashes were long and thick and they shivered enchantingly as she spoke.
Daniel asked, “So, what’s your answer to my request?”
Sherry was stunned a bit, “You mean …”
How quick did he change the topic!
Daniel said slowly, “About our marriage.”
Sherry was speechless.
She got her hands off him and tried to close the door instantly, “You’d better remain where you are.”
Daniel stopped her and squeezed through the door.
“Thank you very much!”
Sherry was speechless. It was indeed an embarrassing reply.
Daniel walked into the living room, greeting Clarence and Channing with seeming calm.
All that seemed normal. But Sherry sensed much stress in the air.
She promptly turned away and then headed to the kitchen to help Stella.
Stella had just heard what Channing said. Now she was also nervous, quietly listening what happened
in the living room.
Although it was actually Sherry who opened the door for Daniel, Channing did let him in even when he
knew the relationship between Daniel and William, which meant he was not as upset with the situation
as they had imagined.
After a moment of silence, Daniel started a topic, “It is said Mr. Conrad had participated in the New
Coast project?”
Clarence replied to him. Then a discussion began in the living room, breaking the silence which was
reigning the room.
Sherry and Stella both heaved a sigh of relief.
Sherry was helping Stella wash the vegetables. She murmured to Stella, “When Daniel first came in, I
thought they were going to fight at any moment.”
Stella smiled and said, “I heard you asked Channing why Winnie didn’t come.”
Sherry nodded, “He said Winnie had left the city to attend an activity.”
Hearing this, Stella raised her eyebrows and didn’t comment on that.
Sherry was also a little surprised at what she had said. She was just trying to change a topic for fear
that Channing would realize she and Stella was talking about him. Surprisingly Channing could give her
an answer.
A sense of cunning flashed in Sherry’s eyes. She said curiously, “Their relationship has made much
progress, right? Tell me something about it.”
Stella said, “I’m not sure, either. But it was Winnie who answered the phone when I called Channing.”
Sherry was seized by excitement, “I’ve told you that, right? Our trick works!”
Stella looked outside and whispered, “Have you noticed that Channing is in a better mood than
before?”
Sherry said, “A little bit, perhaps. But I couldn’t tell. Plus, he caught a cold, didn’t he? I heard he spoke
with a twang.”
“Yes, he did. But he seemed too energetic to be a patient.”
Sherry sighed, “It’s fantastic to be young. No medication is needed when you get sick. You just need a
romantic relationship.”
Stella smiled and had a glimpse outside, “You can also seek medication from a romantic relationship.”
“No, I can’t,” said Sherry, “Romantic relationship is just romantic relationship. He wants to get married
with me. But I don’t want marriage.”
Sherry continued, “Only few playboys would end up becoming loyal husbands. They just want to have
a rest before another relationship.”
Stella was speechless.
Probably she was right.
Stella asked, “Then what will you do?”
Sherry shook her head and heaved a sigh, “My mom had known. She urged me to find a decent
boyfriend, not him.”
Sherry sighed, “It’s fantastic to be young. No medication is needed when you get sick. You just need a
romantic relationship.”
Stella smiled and had a glimpse outside, “You can also seek medication from a romantic relationship.”
“No, | can't,” said Sherry, “Romantic relationship is just romantic relationship. He wants to get married
with me. But | don’t want marriage.”
Sherry continued, “Only few playboys would end up becoming loyal husbands. They just want to have
a rest before another relationship.”
Stella was speechless.
Probably she was right.
Stella asked, “Then what will you do?”
Sherry shook her head and heaved a sigh, “My mom had known. She urged me to find a decent
boyfriend, not him.”
