Sherman hadn't expected to be shut out. She didn't leave. Instead, she rang the doorbell and said to the camera, " I know I was wrong, so I came over to ask your forgiveness. Kingsley, forgive me please."
There was no sound. Kingsley stood inside the villa, facing the video with his arms over his chest. A rare childish hum came out of his nostrils.
"Forgive me, will you? I'm really sorry. This morning, I sat there and waited for you for an hour. I wanted to apologize to you with sincerity. But I didn't expect you to be so angry. I am very cold at the moment. My hands are cold, my feet are cold, and I can't hold on a bit. So I'll count to ten, and if you still don't open the door, then I'll have to leave. 1, 2, 3, 4...7, 8, 9,10."
Moving his slender fingers slightly, Kingsley stood in place and didn't answer.
He squinted upward, thinking that if she could hold o n a little longer. If she could count to fifteen, he would definitely open the door.
Perhaps twelve would do too.
However, when she said ten, Sherman's figure completely disappeared from the camera.
The look on Kingsley's face froze, and his jaw tensed u
p. She came over to admit her mistake, but she got impatient and refused to count two more numbers.
The next second, Sherman appeared in the camera again, gasping for breath. Her voice was soft." Kingsley, I really have something to show you. Please open the door."
Kingsley's expression relaxed. After a short pause, he chose to open the door. Sherman smiled and handed over the flowers in her hand. "These are for you."
"You give me my flowers?" Kingsley gazed at her deeply. His eyes swept over the flowerbed.
"You said I could give your flowers to anyone. " She said seriously.
"OK. Sherman, where is your sincerity? I don’t feel your sincerity." In the next instant, he closed the door again.
Sherman sighed and lowered her head to hide her expression. She seemed to be very upset.
Kingsley raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were deep. He had always been very calm and steady, but at this moment he was very conflicted and anxious.
He wanted to hear her sincere apology, but he was afraid that she was upset and would leave at this time.
"You want my sincerity, then I'll show you. But the premise is that you open the door. You have already shut me out twice. This time if you do not open it, I will leave."
Who taught her that?
The person who apologized was tougher than the person being apologized to. Kingsley's eyes blinked. His long fingers touched the door handle and finally opened the door.
