With a cigarette between his fingers, he took a puff and then another. He stood there all night, waiting.

He wanted to go in and explain himself, but he didn’t know what to say. He was angry that he had always unconsciously hurt Sherry, angry at his own carelessness, and angry that he had caused her so much pain as well.

Why had he set out to give her happiness, and yet not give her the happiness he said he would give her? She must be upset!

Out of the alley.

Celia let out a silent sigh, when she left last night she had seen William’s car and chose to ignore it. When she arrived this morning and realized he was still here, she saw his back, frowned and walked over.

“William, have you been here all night? Standing here like a gate guard?” Turning suddenly and seeing Celia, he felt awkward, embarrassed. Celia startled, a little surprised. “Have you really been here all night?”

William made a noise as if to confirm it and then took another puff on his cigarette.

“William, why didn’t you come in? Since you have something you want to say, what’s stopping you from coming in?” Celia’s gaze fell on William’s face. He looked stiff and remained silent. “When will this business of having two lovers at the same time end?” Celia continued to ask, “Today I just want to ask you, Sherry or Lucy, who have you decided to choose?”

William took another puff on his cigarette; he had been thinking all night, but still didn’t know what to do. The way things were now, it must be hurting Sherry very much! Thinking about Sherry’s smile from yesterday, he only felt a knife sink deeper into his heart, so painful that he could no longer breathe. He knew he had to make a decision.

“I just want Sherry!” his tone was firm and determined. “And this decision hasn’t been changed just because you’re the one asking for it!”

“Then let Lucille go, whether she’s alive or dead has nothing to do with you!” Celia’s personality was very different from Sherry’s, as she would never allow herself to suffer so much pain, nor would she let her friends suffer. “Sherry is not alone and unsupported, you didn’t mean to bully her, yet she had to endure so much even though it was painful for her. I don’t know what happened between the two of you but yesterday Sherry was feeling very helpless.”

William’s body trembled, his heart cut like a knife. “I know!”

“You know that you hurt her? Don’t you know that right now she’s even incapable of getting angry? Her body…”

“What’s wrong with her body?” William began to feel anxious.

After Celia said this, he suddenly thought of the night before, when Sherry begged him not to tell anyone about her pregnancy.

Celia swallowed her words and softened her tone as she said, “It’s okay, it’s just that she’s so fragile that getting upset wouldn’t be good for her body!”

William breathed a sigh of relief; he really thought something was wrong with Sherry!

Celia took one look at William, saw how depressed and lost he was. She couldn’t believe that this man was the president of the Rowland Group, a man who in the past was so powerful. Seeing him like this she didn’t know how to convict him, “William, tell me, what do you want for Sherry?”.

“I want her to be happy!” William said.

“I don’t know how you want to make her happy but that so called happiness made her tell me yesterday that she wants to cry but she is not able to. When she feels like crying she doesn’t get tears. Have you experienced this kind of feeling before? If you know that you always want to cry but you are unable to cry, this kind of happiness you are supposed to be giving her is pretty scary, isn’t it?”

“I said I’ll do it! I’ll definitely find a solution. I’m sorry, I have to go.”

William suddenly opened the car door, got inside and started the car.

Celia stared at the car as he drove off, muttering to herself, “Now this is an unhealthy relationship, being here all night; even if he said he didn’t love Sherry I wouldn’t believe it! However, if he loves her, it mustn’t make her so sad.”

Turning her head, Celia saw Sherry. She was carrying her purse and had just stepped out.

When she saw the back of William’s car, Sherry frowned, and then asked somewhat surprised, “Celia, was that William’s car?”

Celia sighed, “Yes, he’s been staying here all night!”.

Celia pouted as Sherry looked at the floor. There were many discarded cigarettes, her gaze then settled on a total of three cartons of cigarettes.

What was she doing here all night, just smoking?

Sherry’s face went pale, for all night she had not received a call from him. She felt very disappointed for the night, but when she saw all those cigarettes on the floor, she suddenly smiled.

“Sherry, what are you smiling about?”

“He loves me!” Sherry smiled as she said this, all the feelings of hurt and disappointment she had felt during the night disappeared; it seemed that this was enough to make her feel better.

“Of course, even I could see that he loves you! But doesn’t he satisfy you too easily? Make him suffer a little, ignore him, let him work it all out with Lucille first, AND until he has done so keep ignoring him!” Celia rolled her eyes, “What has happened to you two? But in any case he’s not allowed to have two lovers at the same time, You must remember that! Did you hear me?”

Sherry shook her head, “Okay, but maybe I shouldn’t be so petty!”.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about!” Celia frowned.

“Was he really here all night?”

Celia looked a little helpless. “Last night when I left his car was here, then this morning I tried my luck to see if he was still here and it turned out he was. After we talked for a while he told me he wanted to make you happy. Seeing him so lost, I didn’t know how I should do justice for you, Since this man really looked like a fool when it came to emotions! Seeing him so foolish, I suddenly realized that what he said must be true.”

“What?”

“When in love men and women are fools, Now I’ve realized that that phrase is really true! Now as I see you and William, you’re both big fools!”

Sherry gasped, “Maybe!”

When he lowered his head and saw all the butts, he told her the thoughts he had said. Sherry sighed, if he didn’t love her, he wasn’t so lost, Then how was it possible that he was here smoking, and didn’t dare knock on the door!

However, if he had knocked, would she have gone to see him? Perhaps not.

Last night, in that situation, she needed peace and quiet to think about many things. This helped her calm down and as if she could finally see clearly.

The past was the past, and no matter what the choice was, she would give it to William! Yet she needed to secretly support him! This was the mind of a woman!

On the Rowland Group.

“Will, what do you need from me so early in the morning?” Liam asked as soon as he walked in, “Didn’t you sleep last night?”

William said, “I’ve decided to give the MH Residence apartment to Lucille, and from now on I won’t be going there anymore!”.

Liam was a little surprised, pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Well, I respect your decision!”

William signed a document, then lowered his head and said, “I need you to go get the lawyer, help me change the name of the property to Lucille, which is just something to give her compensation, and then turn it over to Darcy! Also, contact the hotel and tell them I’m getting married!”

“Getting married?” Liam deadpanned, “You want to get married! To Sherry?”

“If not to Sherry, to who?” William raised his eyebrows, why would he doubt his decision to be with Sherry?

“Very well, understood. I’ll inform the Old Master right away.” Liam smiled, he also felt a little surprised, “Will, I never expected you to make such a quick and firm decision. However, Sherry is great, so kudos to you.”

“Liam, please do something else for me!” William thought for a moment.

“Tell me!”

“Help me take care of Lucy, make her feel better as soon as possible! For Sherry’s sake, I never want to see Lucille again!”

Liam nodded his head assuringly, “I know! Don’t worry.”

William continued to sign all the necessary documents, and when he finished he returned to the old Rowland residence, as soon as he walked through the door he said to John, “I want to get married, the sooner the better!”

John was astonished and then shocked, “To whom?”

“With Sherry!” William emphasized her name.

John relaxed and clearly gave his approval, “Okay! I have no objection! Let’s schedule the wedding for next week, I’ll have someone arrange it and let Mrs. Howe fix up the new house!”

“I want to get married at Villa 15!” said William earnestly.

“Why there?” John was a little disgruntled, as he still wanted to see his grandson every day.

“If you want the kids then they can live in the old house, but Sherry lives with me!” said William rather domineeringly and with a lack of sympathy.

“Aren’t you both being a little selfish?” frowned John, “Why can’t my daughter-in-law live in the same house as me? Are you afraid I’ll eat your wife?”

“I just want a little private space; could it be that you don’t want to have any more granddaughters?” William raised his eyebrows.

“All right! For the sake of your happiness I’ll let you do whatever you want.” Jhon lowered his face, “But you must hurry to give me another grandchild!”

“Father, I have to go now! I still don’t know if Sherry wants to marry me or not!” William sighed, feeling quite nervous.

“Are you having trouble getting a wife too?” John said coldly.

“Sherry needs to feel love from me, she doesn’t care about money. She never touched any of the 7.5 million I gave her before, she’s been saving, determined to finish her studies. You can only be with a woman like that because of her feelings.”

Once William finished what he said, he immediately left the nursing home.

In the hospital’s patient ward.

Payne had accompanied Sierra all afternoon and did not return until dawn. Cohen Sutton, however, took the opportunity to come to the ward.

“Sierra!” When the name came out of his mouth, he felt a little unfamiliar.

How many years had it been since he’d called her? Cohen felt like he was traveling back in time, his eyes giving a deep look.

When Sierra saw Cohen she suddenly started to panic, “You, what are you doing here?”.

Cohen’s gaze fell on her nervous face, it was still the same face, even after twenty-four years. He was surprised because he never expected her to still look the same after twenty-four years.

“Sierra, are you hiding something from me?” Cohen looked at her, his gaze riveted on her panicked face that was clearly lost.

“Cohen Sutton, get out of here! I’m not hiding anything from you; I cleared everything with you twenty-four years ago!” Sierra said rather agitated, “Don’t come bothering me here anymore!”.

However, Cohen didn’t hear what she was saying and instead asked quietly, “Isn’t Sherry my daughter?”

Sierra felt choked and had no time to react. After hearing his words, her face paled, she averted her gaze and said rather quickly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“Is it that you don’t dare to admit it or don’t you?” he asked rather sharply.

“Get out of here!” she pointed toward the door. “Get out!”

“Sierra, despite everything I still appreciate what you’ve done, thank you for raising Sherry for me, she really is a beautiful woman!”

“Cohen Sutton, stop bothering me! She’s doing just fine right now, so don’t go disturbing her peaceful life!”

“What’s bothering you?” Cohen raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

“Nothing!” Then Sierra suddenly realized what she had said .
