As soon as Sherry finished speaking, Elliot looked helplessly awkward.
He had to admit that Sherry was good-looking, and he liked her.
However, no matter how much he liked her, he couldnât marry a woman in an ambiguous relationship with another man. Hence, he told his mother about Sherryâs past and quickly deleted her from his contact.
Much to his surprise, it had been only one day, Sherry had a new boyfriend. They seemed to have progressed a lot, and they were even talk about getting married?
Due to some male pride or what, he called out to her.
Elliot couldnât compose himself after Sherry mocked him. He said ironically, âYou have too many men around you. Of course, you donât need me to take care of you.â
Then, he looked over at Daniel and said in a compassionate tone, âSherry has told you already, hasnât she? She has been entangled with a man for a long time. They also hang out together pretty often. Dude, youâd better take a look at other women instead and find a clean girl to get married to.
Otherwise, youâll be a cuckold.â
Sherry found that a man who's ordinary but overconfident, would always show his ugly side after his true colors had been exposed, just like Liam Keith and Elliot Ford.
Sherry wondered how come she had met such scumbags.
However, before she spoke, Daniel said indifferently, âReally?â
Elliot thought that Daniel had believed him. Before he continued, Daniel said affectionately, âBut, I fell in love with Sherry at first sight. I must marry her. As long as sheâs willing to be my wife, I can do anything.â
Sherry was speechless.
She wondered if Daniel had lost his mind.
Elliotâs expression changed. âDude, you...â
Daniel looked at him and said coldly, âI believe as long as I love her deeply and treat her well, sheâll love me one day. Otherwise, if I canât move her, it means Iâm not charming enough and canât compare to the man she loves. What do you think?â
Elliot tightened his pinch on the garbage sack, blushing. However, he couldnât utter any word to retort him.
Daniel walked up and patted him on his shoulder. âThank you so much, Dude. Thank you for telling me thereâs such a powerful competitor. I must try my best to win Sherryâs heart. When we get married, Iâll invite you to be my groomsman.â
Then he held Sherryâs hand and left.
Elliot was standing motionlessly. The manâs tone and attitude were not rude just now, but Elliot felt as if he had slapped him in the face. He felt embarrassed and ashamed.
Out of the community, Sherry pulled out her hand. âWhy did you say those words to him?â she asked.
Daniel paused his pace, raising his eyebrows. âShould I tell him directly I was the man you've been entangled with? It works. We can go back now and tell him. Iâm afraid you may find it difficult to explain to your mom later, though.â
Mentioning it, Sherry ground her teeth. âNow you know that. Why didnât you think about it when shoving that thing into my hands?â
Daniel looked over at her. Although she didnât make it clear, he realized what she meant.
He asked, âDid you bring it home?â
Sherry blushed.
âHow did I know? I wrapped it in a T-shirt. When my mother did the laundry...â
Daniel instantly turned around and walked back.
Sherry stopped him hurriedly. âWhat are you doing?â
Daniel said, âI want to tell the truth to your mother. Probably, we can get married tomorrow.â
Sherry said, âYouâd better not go too far.â
Daniel looked back at her with a smile. âHave you agreed?â
âMe? No way... I didnât say anything,â Sherry stammered. âAll right. All right. Hurry up and go back to your hotel. Iâm going home now.â
Daniel asked, âArenât you afraid that man would wait for you downstairs?â
Sherry frowned. âWhy would he do that? Wait for me to scold him?â
âDonât ever underestimate how crazy a man could be if he loved you but couldnât win your heart.â
Sherry was wordless.
She wondered if he was implying himself.
Elliot was a mamaâs boy, a mediocre person who got above himself. However, he was a college lecturer, so he cared about his dignity. Probably, he would mock her, but he could hardly do anything crazy.
Besides, security guards were patrolling her community. She didnât think there would be any safety problem.
Seeing that she hadnât been convinced, Daniel changed his tactic. âI feel dizzy. Can you accompany me back to the hotel?â
Sherry said, âI can help you hail a cab. You took good care of me in London, after all.â
Daniel smiled. âRight. I took care of you in bed as well.â
Sherry glared at him. âShut up!â
When she pulled out her phone to hail a cab, she received a message from Stella.
She glanced at it and frowned, slowly putting away the phone.
Daniel asked, âWhat? Are you worried about me?â
Sherry coughed. âYeah. Iâd better walk you back. If you vomit in the taxi, youâll be sent to the police station.â
Daniel shrugged, having no comment.
Although he didnât know what had changed her mind, he didnât care about the reason. He looked upon the result.
He said, âLetâs go.â
From Sherryâs community to his hotel, they would walk for more than twenty minutes.
They walked shoulder by shoulder in silence.
After a while, Sherry chose a subject. âWell... I donât quite understand.â
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again ï¤Chapter 820: No Flash Marriage or Flash Divorce An Eight-year-old Princess ï¤Chapter 1410 Go And Return Quickly Critic Daniel said, âWhat is it?â
Sherry answered, âYouâve asked me about Channing before, remember? We also talked about Jeffrey Radomil.â
Daniel nodded. âYeah.â
âThen, do you think...â Sherry looked at him and asked, âChan looks like Jeffrey Radomil?â
Daniel paused for a while. He answered, âI donât know much about Jeffrey Radomil, so Iâm not sure.â
âBut, judging only by their appearances, do you think they look like each other?â
Daniel was silent for a few seconds before answering, âNo, they donât.â
Sherry said, âI think so, too. A man like Jeffrey can't have an outstanding son like Chan. Coincidentally, Stella showed me the photo album of her childhood. I discovered that her father looked similar to Chan when he was young. Have you seen that photo before?â
âNo.â
âWhen we go back to City N, you can take a look. By the way, has Mr. William done the DNA test with Chan? Has it been confirmed heâs not Chanâs biological father?â
Daniel asked, âWhy do you suddenly ask me about this?â
Sherry looked at him innocently. âWeâre chatting, arenât we? I just chose a subject to chat with you. If you donât want to talk about it, forget it. Iâm going home.â
