Chapter 72 - Sheri Hoal (1/2)
The following day indeed Devon keeps on visiting Sheri together with his grandma.
Eric also came. In one rare case, Eric and Devon came simultaneously. Sheri just came out of the bathroom. When she saw both of them.
She looked suspiciously at the two men who are allegedly confronting each other. Emotional intensity can be felt in the atmosphere. Sheri starts to massage her forehead. Luckily Sven and Ric arrived simultaneously with Jany.
”Mr. Copper, Mr. Goori. Pleasant you visit my little sister.” Sven said.
Sven and Ric paced toward the two distinguished gentlemen while putting aside Sheri. Sheri twitches her mouth. Jany is the only one who walked leisurely toward her and eagerly embraced her.
The whole time Ric and Sven only talked toward Eric and Devon while Jany and Sheri were chattering on the other side of the private room.
”Sis, we will now go, take a good rest,” Ric said soothingly while winking. Sheri properly understood their intentions and smiles gratefully.
The whole time they intentionally keep the two gentlemen away from her. Sven promptly invited them to have a drink. Ric, Sven, Eric, and Devon went out while Jany willingly stays.
”Sis. So who do you think is the best?”Jany asked while smiling.
Sheri smile and didn't answer.
The following day is the moment she is to be discharged. She naturally wants to go back home. While fixing her bag. Devon came with a bouquet of flowers.
Sheri was still for a moment.
Devon is also still when he saw her ordinarily wearing a white dress. His hearts instantly start beating fast. He can't explain but every time he smells and sees her. His world stands still and his heartbeat, beats very fast.
Sheri's one eyebrow elevated while looking at him.
” Mr. Goori, how can I help you,” Sheri asked. In her mind, she's saying.” How can I help you to stop seeing me.”
Devon snaps out from his pleasant thought and turns red.
Sheri froze again when she saw him blushing.
”Huh! Did I just see that? ” Sheri thought while gently rubbing her eyes.
Devon cough a little to stop himself from blushing. He felt like a teenage boy looking eagerly at his crush.
” I've heard from your mom that you will go home today. So I inquire your father if I could be the one to bring you home, and he said alright.” Devon said.
Sheri twitches her mouth when she heard what he said. She felt she was abandoned/ sold by her Dad.
” Mr. Goori, that is so kind of you but I don't think it's necessary. I have money and already ordered a taxi to pick me up.” Sheri lied.
Last night she called her mom that she doesn't have to come to pick her up. Her parents need to watch the performance of her sister Sheva. Besides, she's not injured only fatigue, and she felt much better.
”Nevertheless, let me send you back home,” Devon said.
Sheri sigh. She doesn't feel any fear nor scared toward them. She already decides this time it's different. This time she will focus on her family and her self. The fear, the trauma she had, perhaps was soothed during the time she was observing them, sincerely repenting of what they did. The man before her now is a complete opposite of what she knows about him. In her first life. She never really knows him. He only meets him 2 to 3 times and that's it.
She looked at him.
”Mr. Goori”
”Devon,” Devon said.
”Alright, Mr. Devon. I am not interested in you. Why can't you get that? You are just wasting your time. Besides... ” Sheri wasn't able to finish her sentence when someone knocks on her door.
”Come in,” Devon said.
