Things have already gone too far, he no longer had the chance to regret things, he couldn’t turn back time either, so he could only hope that Celia could forget her after calming down.

…

Sherry didn’t expect to get Leon’s call, he said he had something to ask her, and so William and Sherry headed to the restaurant.

Leon was waiting for them in the driveway, when he saw Sherry get out of the car, he asked William, “I need to talk to Sherry alone please!” William nodded silently.

Because of the Susan and Cohen thing, Sherry felt she owed it to Leon, if it wasn’t for Cohen, maybe Leon and Susan would have been a happy couple now.

Leon was wearing a white shirt, a dark silver suit, it was a handmade Italian suit, very fitted to his figure, which made him look even taller. The sharp lines of his handsome face were elegant, he was always clean, natural and casual.

There was sadness written between his eyebrows, it had been there since Sherry met him, She thought it must be because of Susan!

“Leon, I’m sorry!” said Sherry.

Leon grimaced and said bitterly, “Is Susan okay?”.

Sherry nodded, “Yes!”

“Can you ask her out for me?” asked Leon.

Sherry was surprised, because of the guilt she felt towards Celia and Leon, she didn’t even think about it before agreeing, “Sure!”.

Leon nodded, “Don’t tell her I want to see her!”.

“Why?”

“She won’t want to see me! But I have to meet her!” Leon’s smile was a little disappointing, “Don’t worry, I just want to tell her something, that’s all!”

…

Ashley got a call from Leon, and she got excited because she thought it was about the engagement, the last time her engagement party was messed up by Cohen, she had wanted to change it to another day. But when she got to the restaurant, Leon said, “Ashley, let’s get this over with, I’m sorry, but I can’t love you!”

Ashley looked at him in surprise, she couldn’t believe it, “Leon, what…, what are you talking about?”

“Ashley…” Leon looked at her pale face, he couldn’t take it, but he bit his teeth and said, “I’m sorry, let’s break up.”

Ashley’s eyes began to burn, tears filled her eyes and ran down her cheeks. “I know you don’t love me, I knew it all along!”. Ashley muttered under her breath, her voice was congested, “But I thought you would like me, but I was wrong, I’m sorry, Leon, I had messed you up all this time, I won’t bother you again! Never again!”

He saw her tears and was surprised at her expression, he suddenly felt hurt, He owed it to this girl! What kind of look did she have? It was full of anger, pain, hurt, hurt, emotions, she had a helpless bitter laugh, her voice was so light as her tears ran down her face, her big dark eyes stared at him, as if it was the last time she was looking at him,

“Goodbye!” Ashley ran out of the restaurant crying, she looked back at the name of the restaurant, ‘Waiting’. Tears clouded her eyes, she knew he was never waiting for her, Never! As she ran outside, the tears ran with the wind, love was like a poison, it went through the body and always left something behind. He thought the disease had no cure.

Leon glanced away, his fists were clenched, and he didn’t run after her.

When Sherry called out, she woke Leon. But he heard Sherry’s apologetic voice from the other end of the line, “Sorry, Leon, Susan already guessed it’s you who wants to see her, she told me to give you a message, Take a chance on the people around you! Don’t always look back, don’t wait for a breakup to realize that the person who’s been with you all along is the right one! Leon, I’m sorry…”

Before she finished speaking, Leon laughed bitterly, she didn’t even want to see him! He had to forget about her!

After hanging up, Sherry took a deep breath, she felt a shudder in her heart, she couldn’t describe her guilt, “He’s in so much pain! She’s been waiting all this time, but in the end she hasn’t gained anything!”

William took her in his arms, his face showed no emotion, but with a hint of gentleness he said, “Come on, we must go to Susan and Cohen, don’t think too much about it, everyone has their own destiny.”

William drove Sherry to the family home, all the way he drove with one hand, the other held Sherry’s, she asked sadly, “William, will we hold hands like this forever?”

Hearing her question, William gripped her hand tighter, their pupils narrowed, “Sherry, you’re thinking too much!”

…

In the living room of the Jones’ house.

Ashley was crying very painfully.

“Ashley, don’t cry!” Sierra tried to comfort her, “Don’t cry already!”

“Sierra, he said he wanted to break up with me, he said he never loved me, what should I do?” Ashley cried heartbreakingly.

Sierra sighed, “He doesn’t know what a good person you are!”.

“I want to kill him, I’m going to kill Leon!” Payne screamed in the living room.

“No, Dad, no!” Ashley shook her head and cried silently.

“Ashley, no one can hurt you, I’ll never let Leon get away with this!”.

“No!” Ashley shook her head, “I don’t want it anymore, I don’t want it, NEVER AGAIN!”

Sierra pulled her into her arms, “Ashley, let it out, cry, you’ll feel better later! It will be okay.”

Ashley suddenly felt like screaming out loud, her tears flowed like a waterfall, and she cried into Sierra’s chest. She buried her face in his chest, letting her tears overflow.

Payne was as furious as he had ever been, “No, I have to get him, I’ll make him marry you!”.

“No!” Ashley screamed, “Daddy, no! Let me keep some dignity please, Don’t do it! I really don’t want it anymore!”

Payne felt helpless and stomped her foot, then sat on the couch smoking.

Sierra patted Ashley’s shoulder and sighed, “It’s okay Ashley, it’s going to be okay.”

…

In the evening whipping noises were again heard coming from the master bedroom, “Aah, Master please stop hitting me, Ashley just fell asleep, if you want to hit at least wait until she feels better please…”

But Payne only spanked her harder, his temper seemed to be getting worse and worse, the number of times he hit Sierra was increasing, she was desperate. Suddenly, a feeling of despondency gripped her, the kind of despair she hadn’t felt in a long time.

…

Sierra woke up in the wee hours of the morning and went to find Leon, his body covered in wounds. When he saw Sierra, Leon was very surprised, “Sierra?”

“Leon! Ashley is a good girl, she is pure and looks pretty, why do you want to break up with her?” Sierra asked him.

“Sierra, I…” Leon swallowed saliva and didn’t know how he should answer.

“Leon, you know sometimes you don’t have to be with a person you feel love for, sometimes, no matter who you’re with, you’ll still get the same fate!”.

Sierra wouldn’t look at him, her face looked fragile, although she wore a lot of makeup, but that didn’t cover everything.

Leon didn’t understand why she was telling him all that, he remembered the way she treated Sherry that day, in his heart he was criticizing her, even though Sherry was Cohen’s daughter, but Leon couldn’t hate her! Maybe Sierra was right.

It was all fate! He and Susan could never get back together again! But that didn’t mean he and Ashley could continue a mistake, he couldn’t throw his life away, he knew Ashley was a good person! She was pure, kind and sweet! But, they really weren’t suited for each other!

Sierra suddenly asked, “Leon, if Payne and I are no longer in this world, could you take care of Ashley for me?”

“Sierra?” Leon felt sweat break out on his back, “Sure, but why do you say that?”

“It’s nothing! I can’t force your life, pretend I didn’t come today, I have to go!” Sierra stood up and turned around, she was shaking.

“Sierra, are you really okay?” Leon asked worriedly.

“Yes!” Sierra walked away.

She got into a cab and drove to the Group house, care stopped there, she gave him a look from inside the car, he was silent for a long time.

He just looked at her. Cohen and Susan got out, he held her carefully and gently, “Be careful, don’t walk too fast, take care of the baby!”

“I’m fine, I can walk by myself!” Susan pulled away from his hand.

Before the two got into their car, a blue Bugatti pulled up, it was William and Sherry, and the four of them were standing in the driveway talking.

Sierra was giving them a look and then sighed, “Sir, let’s go.”

She looked at Cohen and Sherry sentimentally, that was the face she once hated but also loved the most, Goodbye!

…

“Sierra! Where’s my dad?” Ashley saw Sierra cooking, she had cried all night and her eyes were red and puffy, she was curious that Sierra could cook, she never had!

Sierra slowly turned around and looked at Ashley, then said, “Ashley, I want to tell you that a woman needs to learn how to cook. cooking is a kind of bliss, really! Especially if you’re cooking for your husband, and you’d feel even happier, if this is the man you loved!”

“Sierra, are you okay?” Ashley didn’t know why, but she had never seen Sierra like this, her eyes looked so empty.

“I’m fine, I’m cooking for your dad, I’m going to cook him something unique, Something he’s never had before!”

“What’s that?” Ashley was a little surprised.

“Go, when it’s ready, I’ll tell you!” Sierra said.

Ashley was too sad to notice anything, so she left. Then she heard something that sounded like she was frying grease in the kitchen, she didn’t know what kind of dish she would have to fry after she put it in the pressure cooker, just as she was thinking about it, she heard the police sirens outside, she was approaching her house and pulled up in front of her townhouse. Then the police burst into the house.

A couple of them flashed their IDs, “Is Sierra Anderson here, which one is Sierra Anderson?”

At that moment, Sierra came out of the kitchen with a plate in her hands, which she placed on the living room table, and then slowly said, “Sir, it’s me.”

“Is it you who called us?” asked one of the officers.

“Yes, it was me!”

“What happened?” Ashley had a bad feeling.

Sierra smiled, “Ashley, you have to take good care of yourself, I won’t be able to do that anymore!”

“You committed murder?” The officer asked.
