"Aren't you Sierra? Sierra Anderson?" Cohen Sutton's emotions were overwhelming, and he tried to hold her hand.
Payne Jones, however, walked over and pulled Sierra behind himself with one hand.
After that, Sierra came back to her senses. "Payne, I don't know this gentleman. He might have mistaken me for someone else!"
Her hasty reaction made Payne's face turn even more ironic, "Shut up!"
Cohen returned to his senses, and his eyes were still on the woman behind Payne. Seeing her eager to set aside the fact that she knew him, he felt extremely sad.
"Sierra, I didn't expect you to have changed this much. You don't even dare to say hello to me! This is your husband, right?"
"Ashley, take your aunt home!" Payne shouted coldly. He pushed the woman in his arms to Ashley's side.
"Daddy, we haven't eaten yet!"
"I don’t want to eat now!" Payne coldly swept a glance at Cohen. "It is said that Mr. Sutton is suave and elegant, and likes to flirt with many women. I never thought that today you even molest my woman. Do you want to go to jail again?"
"Payne, let's go home!" Hearing Payne's words, Sierra was even more scared. She pulled Payne's clothes and said nervously in a low voice, "Let's go back!"
Cohen's eyes dimmed and regained his composure, and then said, "Uh! I didn't expect you to be the Jones' Chemical Corp president, I'm sorry! What's more, I didn't expect I had such a notorious reputation! Fine! If you don't know me, then you don't know!"
When he turned his head, Cohen saw Sherry Murray, "Sherry?"
Sierra's face instantly went pale, and then she fell backward.
"Ah! Mrs. Jones! Mrs. Jones, what happened to you?" Ashley shouted urgently.
Sierra had passed out.
Payne tensed up all of a sudden. "Take her to the hospital quickly!"
Cohen wanted to go forward but was blocked by Payne, who directly picked up Sierra and got into the elevator.
Sherry's eyes contracted, clenched her fist, and did not go forward.
She didn't expect Sierra and Mr. Sutton to know each other. Sherry felt that Siera's reaction was strange. She seemed to be eager to clear up the relationship with her "old acquaintance"!
"Adoptive father, that Mrs. Jones seems to be very afraid of you!" Keegan felt that it was a bit strange.
Cohen watched from afar as Payne carried Sierra down the elevator. Leon Hickman also went after him, and Ashley was calling for help. Cohen eyesight became even more despondent.
Mr. Sutton's shocked gaze contained endless bitterness, and the piercing pain made his grim features tangle together in pain. His clenched fists loosened and clenched again, and he prevented the desire to chase after them.
"Mr. Sutton, let's dine!" Sherry said indifferently. She didn't want to look at the person that was leaving. Not a single glance, never! Sierra's life had nothing to do with her.
However, Cohen murmured a question. "Sherry, is she your mother, Sierra Anderson?"
For a moment, Sherry's body stiffened, and there was a pain in her eyes.
Keegan and Reggie were both frozen too. They thought to themselves, was that Sherry's mother?
Sherry bit her lips, then replied firmly, "My mother Sierra Anderson had passed away many years ago, Mr. Sutton, perhaps you have mistaken the person!"
However, Cohen turned and looked at Sherry like he was looking through Sherry's soul with certainty. "Sherry, she is your mother. I have not mistaken her!"
Sherry could hear her heartbeat. The heartbeat was heavy and regulated, and it was hitting her chest cavity one after another.
She closed her eyes and stopped talking, and walked over to the table and sat down. After that, she held up the cup of warm water, which unfortunately was already cold. She then took a gulp and tried to suppress her bitterness.
Keegan looked at Sherry and worried. He was a little stunned that the woman could be Sherry's mother?
"Another cup of warm water!" Keegan saw that Sherry was still holding the cold water, drinking it, and immediately called the waiter.
A cup of hot water came, but Sherry raised her head and smiled lightly at the three people, "Please sit down you all, let's talk about it after we finish our meal, didn't we say that we would welcome Mr. Kelly today?"
Her bland explanation made Cohen sit down.
Keegan's face had a vague worry. While Reggie was a little surprised, he probably didn't expect Sherry to be so bland!
"Mr. Kelly, I'm sorry, this restaurant might be a wrong choice!" Sherry sincerely apologized.
Reggie's handsome side face was stunned, and his face was a little tighter, and he spat out two words, "It's okay!"
The more Reggie said this, the more Sherry felt guilty. She also didn't expect to meet Sierra when dining there, nor did she expect Mr. Sutton to know Sierra. She felt more uneasy thinking about it. "I'm sorry, I made the wrong arrangements today!"
"It's none of your business." Cohen said quietly.
"Let's eat! The steak is getting cold!" Reggie's low male voice drifted in, without much emotion and very calm.
Sherry bit her lip and raised her eyes, and then looked at Cohen beside her. The smile on his face no longer existed. Cohen seemed to be mixed with a faint sorrow.
"Sherry, eat something else, don't eat something cold!" Keegan's expression softened a bit, gazing at Sherry's small face with apologies.
Her little face could not conceal her self-blame. She bit her lips, and it was a look of apprehension and lack of appetite.
"Mr. Sutton, start eating. Some people reunited without knowing each other is actually very good!" Keegan suddenly said softly, as a simple quote goes by, "If two person can forget their past together, there won't be the hardship of missing each other."
Reggie's words had an inexplicable deep meaning. It made all three people frozen!
No one spoke again, and the meal was very gloomy.
After finishing the meal, the subordinates had already brought the car, Cohen went towards it. "I'm not going to the company today, Reggie, come visit my house sometime! Keegan, send Sherry back to the company!"
