“Why are you getting wet?” Sherry Murray angrily said, “Wait until the rain is over.”
“Forget it! I don’t want to wait anymore, just get out wet now!” The annoyance inside William Rowland’s heart seemed to drift away and he was getting more excited when he saw Sherry chasing out.
“Go and stay in hospital if you get wet again!” Sherry angrily said again, “Come back with me!”
“You are the one who asked me go!” He was not in a hurry to go back with her. “I am going to get a taxi now!”
Sherry froze and had a look at the entrance of the alley, by the time when he got a taxi he would have caught a cold again. She then reached out to drag his shirt, “Hurry up, you will get a fever again when the wind blows!”
William blinked, “Let me get a fever then!”
“You?” The anger inside Sherry’s heart made her unable to say a complete sentence, she inexplicably annoyed when she looked at his drenched clothes.
“What?” As if not sensing her anxiety, well, coming out and find him meant that she was really worried about him, but she had just called him shameless, “Am I shameless?”
“You!” Sherry was stunned, she then pulled him again, but how could she able to pull his strong yak-like body? “You are shameless!”
She then spoke angrily, “Come back with me now!”
Looking at the furious Sherry, William didn’t say anything more. He then moved his arms upwards, reached out to hold her hand and pulled her closer with a smooth movement.
“Hey!” She whispered.
“Just an umbrella, do you want to get wet? How can you not get closer?” He said as a matter of course.
No time to think about anything, Sherry just let him run towards the condominium with his hand holding hers tightly, until when they entered the building, only then he let her go reluctantly.
Looking at the dripping umbrella, Sherry suddenly realized what a stupid thing she had done. What did it matter to her if William was going to die or live?
“It’s freezing!” William grinned.
“ And you are still getting wet!” She then angrily rushed to open the door, “Come in quickly!”
“Uncle, you got wet!” Daniel Murray ran over and shouted a little worriedly.
“It is alright!” He felt really good to be cared for, William thought.
“Dan, get a towel for me, Mummy will put the bath water on!” Sherry looked back at William.
“I don’t bath!”
“You need to bath otherwise you will catch a cold!”
“There is no clothes for me to change!” William said, “Do you want me to be naked after a shower in your house? Wouldn’t that be catching another cold?”
“I will get it for you! You go bathing first!” Sherry walked to the bathroom and adjusted the water temperature before walking out, “The water is ready, just go in and bath. Dan, wait for mummy buying clothes for uncle.”
Sherry left hurriedly. As William looked at her back, he suddenly felt that this woman had quality to be a good wife and mother. It was just that…
Sherry bought a sports suit and a pair of underwear. She heard the sound of Dan and William’s conversation coming from the bath room when she came back, “Uncle, mummy said I will be the same as you when I grow up.”
“What is that?”
“The little bird!”
“Hmm! Your mummy is talking nonsense!” The laughter voice from William came too, and Sherry’s face reddened, “Do you want a father, kid?”
“Why do you ask? Mr Brooks was fond of mummy and wants to confess to her! If someone who is as pretty as Mr Brooks, and also treat my mummy well, I can consider it.”
“What?” William was shocked upon hearing this news, “Liam Brooks wants to confess to your mummy?”
“Yes!” Dan thought for a moment then nodded. It seemed like Mr Brooks didn’t say about that but he didn’t deny also. Yes, exactly, he wanted to be mummy’s boyfriend.
“Damn it!” William roared lowly.
“Uncle, are you fond of my mummy and would like to be her boyfriend also?” Dan asked uncertainly.
Sherry wanted to stop Dan from continuing asking such an outrageous question but she was embarrassed and there was suddenly no any voice at all. Her heart started lifted and became unsure, how could William possibly want to court herself? Neither she was the fairy beauty, nor she had that qualification, she had already lost the qualification for sweet love.
Meanwhile, she then heard William speaking, “Your mummy is not popular, why do I want to court her? Aren’t you too presumptuous?”
“Oh! I was wrong then!” Dan was a little disappointed, “I thought you like my mummy!”
“How could I possibly like her?”
Sherry’s expression calmed down when she heard those words.
It was just that William’s eyes flickered as he uttered those words and no one knew what he meant.
“Dan!” Sherry shouted.
“Are you back, mummy?”
