On the other side of the line, it was quiet again, and no sound could be heard.
Elaine did not hang up the phone. She was so stubborn that she wanted to wait for something.
After a long time, she only heard the beep.
She threw her phone and fell straight into bed.
Except for being stuck in Riverside, everything in her life had gone as planned. No matter what she
wanted, her father would satisfy her.
So what Sherry said that day was reasonable. She seemed to have an unusual fixation on the things
that she could not get.
However, Darnell was different from the toys and clothes she had when she was a child.
The more she wanted him, the more he evaded her.
Ottawa.
Daniel was applying medicine when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
He reflexively wanted to use his clothes to hide the wound, but Sherry had already walked over and
took the cotton swab from his hand. "It's not like | haven't seen it before. What's there to hide?"
The corners of Daniel's lips curved up. "I'm afraid you'll be worried if you see it.”
Sherry let out a "tsk" sound, but her gaze still couldn't help but fall on his wound.
This time, it was different from the previous hits in the hospital. The knife wounds were bloody, and on
his shoulder, she could see where the bullets had grazed his skin.
Sherry could not help but frown when she saw the wounds. She knew that Daniel had been leaving
early and coming back late for a few days. He was investigating Amanda. She knew that it would be
dangerous, but she hadn't expected this.
Sherry leaned over him and cleaned his wound with a cotton bud soaked in alcohol.
Although she did not say anything, Daniel could feel her nervousness and worry.
He said casually, "It's really nothing. | just ran into some glass. It will be fine in two or three days.”
Sherry muttered in a low voice, "Yeah right. Take a look yourself. The scars from your previous wounds
are still visible.”
Daniel gripped her wrist. "Don't be angry.”
Sherry snorted, threw away the cotton swab, and went to get the gauze. "Why should | be angry? | am
happy every day."
Ottawa was not big. While Daniel had been out the past few days, the driver had driven her around the
whole city.
Daniel said, "| have already finished my work here. There are still two days left.copy right hot novel pub
I will take you out."
"I have already been to all the fun places. If there is nothing else, I will go back..."
"Didn't I tell you before that I will teach you how to ice skate? Also, there's another important thing."
Daniel continued.
"What?" Sherry asked.
"You will know tomorrow."
Sherry did not have much interest in this surprise. As she finished treating his wounds and prepared to
leave, Daniel said,
"Since you're not angry anymore, then don't sleep downstairs tonight?"
"I..."
Daniel knew what she was concerned about and said, "I swear, nobody other than me has slept on this
bed."
Sherry said, "She had the keys to your house and could come and go as she pleased. How can you be
sure she didn't lie on your bed too?"
Daniel said, "I have investigated why she had a key. She snuck in when the cleaners were here and
stole the key herself. As forwhether she ever laid on the bed herself, I can't be sure."
As he spoke, he picked up his phone. "I'll ask them to send over a new bed."
Sherry stopped him. “It's already so late. Why bother?"
Sherry had grown up in an ordinary family, and she could not bear to see rich people like him ordering
people about like this.
Daniel raised his head and smiled. "Will you sleep here tonight?"
Sherry looked at Daniel, then looked at the bed, and finally made up her mind.
She took out all the blankets in the closet and placed them on the mattress. Then she changed all the
sheets and covers on the bed. Finally, when she was done, Sherry laid down in satisfaction.
The entire bed had been piled up another 50 centimeters high by all the blankets.
Daniel's eyebrows twitched. "Aren't you uncomfortable sleeping like this?"
Sherry said, “It's not uncomfortable. It's soft and warm."
After a pause, she added, "If you feel uncomfortable sleeping like this, I'd better go downstairs."
Just as she was about to get up, Daniel pulled her back. "No need. That's fine."
Daniel turned off the lights and lay down beside her. His voice was very low. "I'm sorry about what
happened before. I promise it won't happen again."
In the darkness, Sherry opened her eyes. “What's there to be sorry about? You've also met Liam Keith
and Brandon Chang before."
Although she did not have any feelings for Brandon Chang, she had seen him for a while, and that
probably counted as dating.
In that case, she was not at a disadvantage. Daniel had seen two of her exes and she had only met
one of his.
Daniel said, "That's true. After all, you were even discussing marriage with him."
Sherry poked him in the arm grumpily and Daniel immediately grunted.
Sherry was shocked and quickly turned around. "Did I poke your wound? I didn't do it on purpose. Are
you bleeding? I think..."
Daniel pulled her into his arms, held her waist, and said miserably, “It's okay. I'm used to the pain. I just
grit my teeth and suck it up."
Sherry gently pushed him.
“Are you lying to me or are you really in pain?"
Daniel said, "It doesn't hurt when I'm holding you."
Sherry rolled her eyes.
Daniel said in a low voice, "Go to sleep. I'll take you ice skating tomorrow morning."
“Who wants to skate in the morning? Can't we do it in the afternoon?"
“There are other arrangements in the afternoon."
Sherry pouted but did not say anything. She slowly closed her eyes.
The next morning, Sherry was still sleeping when she was pulled up by Daniel.
Sherry looked at the time in a daze and exclaimed, "Why are we up earlier than the rooster? Let me
sleep."
Daniel chuckled.
He said, “I asked the driver about your skating abilities. You need to spend more time learning."
Sherry was speechless and kicked him. She thought that when Daniel had said he was going to ‘teach
her how to skate’, it was
just an excuse to go on a date and canoodle on the ice.
Who would have thought that Daniel, this playboy, would actually be so serious about ice skating?
Sherry covered her head with a blanket. "I'm not going so early. It's not even light outside yet. If you
want to go, go by yourself."
Daniel fell silent and lay down next to her. “Then we can go when you wake up."
Because of his interruption, Sherry did not sleep for long before she woke up. When she opened her
eyes, it was barely dawn outside.
Sherry yawned and went downstairs after washing up. She saw the ice-skating equipment beside the
fireplace.
While drinking water, she said, "Why did you buy this? Can't you rent it at the rink?"
Daniel adjusted the laces of the skates. "Now you have your own skates, you can use them whenever
you come here in the future."
