"I'm going home the day after tomorrow." Kate stayed in Brian's arms and said in a low voice, afraid that he wouldn't say yes.
"Yes." Answered Brian.
"You agreed?" Kate looked at Brian in surprise, with an unbelievable look.
"Yes." Brian smiled and bit Kate's earlobe and rubbed it softly.
Kate deliberately ignored the fact that Brian was going to take advantage of her. She was thrilled that she could go home. She had been wondering how to tell him about this. Given Brian's cunning character, it was very difficult for her to ask for leave, but she didn't expect that he would say yes so directly.
'Could it be that Brian was pleased with her?'
Well, at this moment, Kate finally realized that her sacrifice last night was in return for several days of freedom.
Brian lowers her head gently, seeing Kate giggling. He pursed his lips and held her tightly.
Kate was confused about his reaction, but she didn't say anything and just stayed in Brian's arms quietly.
When they were having dinner, Kate went to wake up Sherry. It was Sherry who used to take care of her, and now it was her turn.
"Sherry, shall we go back to the place we lived before?" Kate talked to Sherry patiently.
Sherry drew silently, totally ignoring Kate.
"Do you still remember the Faraway community? We have lived there for a long time. " Kate didn't give up. She continued to cheer Sherry up, as if she would succeed or die.
Kate thought her words worked when Sherry finally put down her brush. She was about to pull her away happily, only to find that Sherry went to the bathroom and came back to continue drawing.
Kate was stunned for a while, and then lowered her head.
Standing at the door, looking at his little woman speechlessly, Brian paced in. As soon as Kate saw Brian, she rushed over, pointing at Sherry, and said, "Please help me persuade Sherry. If we go back to the Faraway community, Sherry may restore her memory."
"How can you thank me?" Asked Brian.
"Why are you so mean?" Kate spent the whole morning persuading Sherry, so that she forgot who Brian was.
"Well, I'm really narrow-minded. It seems that the salary for some employees is too high." Brian nodded and he seemed to agree with Kate's idea.
Salary! When it comes to the salary, Kate finally realized her mistake. She looked at Brian and didn't know how to do. Finally she hummed proudly and sat down on the bed.
A niggard! Just a niggard!
Kate was kicking her legs depressingly and muttering.
With a light smile, Brian sat beside Kate, reached out his hand and pinched Kate's bulging cheeks, while Kate slapped his hand off furiously. She has made up her mind to fight against Brian to the end.
"Good girl." Brian touched Kate's head and smoothed her hair.
"Humph!" Kate glared at Brian.
"Your temper is becoming worse and worse." Brian frowned and concluded.
"I..." Kate was speechless. It seemed that she was no longer afraid of Brian.
Kate lowered her head and stared at her feet gloomily.
Then, Brian stood up. Kate saw him walking to Sherry. With her eyes wide open, Kate wondered if Brian was now making a compromise with her? Was he going to help her persuade Sherry?
Even Kate couldn't persuade Sherry, how Brian could persuade her. Kate looked at them curiously, wondering how Brian would coax Sherry.
However, Kate saw that Brian was looking at Sherry condescendingly and said in a low voice, "Stand up."
Puff...
Kate got choked and patted her chest to calm her down. Sherry would not listen to Brian in this way.
However, things often went beyond Kate's expectation, because Sherry really stood up, having a look of awe and timidity on her face.
Kate put her hand on her forehead. It was the first time that she found that Sherry could be persuaded by force. Brian's imposing manner was so strong...
After the meal, Kate took Sherry back to the Faraway community.
She hasn't come back since she lived with Brian. There was no change in the Faraway community, just looked the same as before.
"Sherry, that dog barked at us when we first moved in." Kate pointed at a large dog which was tied and said.
But Sherry was still indifferent.
Kate took her back to their house. There remained unchanged except for some dust and the furniture was still placed in the same positions.
"Look, Sherry. These is your bedroom and painting room. You had drawn these painting." Kate led Sherry to her bedroom. Looking at the pictures in the room, Sherry finally reacted.
Seeing this, Kate continued to move a lot of paintings from the bottom of Sherry's bed and said, "These are all yours."
Taking over these paintings, Sherry blinked her eyes blankly for a while.
"Oh..." For a moment, Sherry squatted down suddenly with her hands over her head, and the paintings was scattered on the ground.
