SWNOVELS Chapter 179 Pure Love
William nodded coldly, "Congratulations, Lucille! We are really glad that you're getting better now!"
He purposely said the word 'we' out loudly as he wanted to tell Lucille that Sherry and him were together. 'We', meant him and Sherry.
Lucille was stunned and blinked her eyes. Her slim face was filled with doubts. Then, she looked down and turned around. It seemed that she was looking for something. William and Sherry's eyes met, and they felt suspicious too. They were having doubts about Lucille, whether she had really recovered or not.
At that moment, Sherry's phone rang suddenly. The three of them were startled by her ringtone.
Sherry took out the phone, realizing it was a call from Reggie. She glanced at William and whispered, "It's Reggie!"
When they mentioned Reggie, Lucille became quiet suddenly and stopped talking.
Although William didn't like Reggie, he seemed to have understood something when he called at this time. He took a glance at Lucille. Reggie must be looking for Lucille, wasn't it? He signaled Sherry to answer the phone.
"Hello, Reggie!" Sherry answered the call, "Yes, she's here."
William was right. Reggie was really looking for Lucille.
All of a sudden, Lucille stood up. She immediately rushed into William's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Ahh! Lucille, let go!" William tried to pull her hands away, but her arms were tightly clinging onto William's neck. He had no choice but to push her away harder, "Let go!" Sherry who was still talking on the phone, was shocked for a short moment after witnessing this scene. Then, she told Reggie the address of No. 15 Villa in a fixed tone. "Huhu...Will, don't drive me away! I'm not leaving!" Lucille murmured and began to cry suddenly.
"Let go of me first!" William exclaimed anxiously and his actions were a little clumsy. He subconsciously looked at Sherry, realizing that she was just looking at them quietly. "Sherry, she was the one who hugged me, not me. I really didn't do anything!" William's arms were stretched open and he dared not move. He was afraid that Sherry might misunderstand something, so he quickly explained himself.
Sherry shook her head as she wanted to laugh at his clumsy looks. Sherry wasn't so narrow-minded. She knew that he didn't mean it, but she suppressed her urge to laugh and said, "I remembered someone saying that his chest belonged to me! It seemed that someone had stolen it away now, and that man didn't even push her away! Well, she must be a beautiful woman, since you felt so reluctant to do so!" "That's not it!" William vigorously pushed Lucille away this time. Lucille was pushed towards the couch because William exerted too much force.
"Ahh..." Lucille fell on the couch and groaned.
William didn't care about her at all, he said to Sherry, "Honey, I didn't mean it!"
"I saw that!" Sherry suppressed her laughter, "You almost injured Ms. Mclean!"
"You don't blame me?" William was relieved, "There's nothing I can do other than this!"
"Of course not, it wasn't your fault anyway!" Sherry suppressed her laughter and whispered to William, "Reggie said she hasn't recovered yet, but her condition is much better than before! Now, she could recall a lot of people and remember the things that has happened previously, perhaps she could really get better!"
William frowned slightly, "She hasn't fully recovered yet?"
Sherry nodded, "That's what Reggie said earlier, he said that he would be here in ten minutes. He had been looking for her everywhere! Don't provoke her anymore!"
While they were still talking, Lucille came to him again.
William dodged subconsciously and hid behind the couch. He anxiously said, "Lucille, sit down first. I have something to tell you!"
"No! Will, are you driving me away?" Lucille kept asking him, "I'm not leaving! I don't want to!"
Sherry stunned as she watched William running around the couch, while Lucille chased him from behind. It seemed a little funny to her. She wasn't jealous, in fact she felt really pity for Lucille. Perhaps, she might have been too crazy that she fell into the misconceptions of love, or maybe she really liked William, and if not all these, maybe it was just that she couldn't walk out from her imaginary love! "Lucille, stop!" William shouted. His voice suddenly became deep and cold, "Stay there!"
Lucille heard him shouting, and she stopped suddenly. She held her hand, "Will, didn't you like me chasing you like this last time?"
Sherry's heart throbbed. Oh! So he enjoyed being chased around the couch like this previously!
William frowned and looked at Sherry worriedly. He had no choice but to say this with his extremely deep voice, "Lucille, could you stop being so obsessed? We've all started a new life! You should face up to your new relationship too! Reggie is looking for you everywhere! If you didn't like Reggie, how would you have married him? Don't be like your mother. You're normal and healthy. You shouldn't be affected by her shadows. Reggie could bring you happiness, you should cherish him!"
Lucille suddenly stopped talking. She calmed down and murmured, "Reggie! Reggie?"
Sherry suddenly felt sad for this woman. Who exactly did she love?
William? Or Reggie?
Sherry looked down at her phone. She felt Reggie was really pitiful, but at the same time she thought he was a great person. How many men in this world could still be so worried about his ex-wife after having the same experience as him?
Sometimes, love was meant to torment your partner's heart unwittingly! Only a few people could realize the joys and sorrows of it.
Some love grew fonder as they experienced more difficulties together, but some love couldn't make it through the storm. To love or to be loved, it should be done with the right person. A one-man show was destined to be sad and dreary. She really hoped that Lucille could come to her senses and not missed her chance with Reggie...
"Ms. Mclean, Reggie is looking for you. I don't know whom you really love, you'll have to ask your own heart for that. You should quietly ask yourself, do you love Reggie? If you do, please cherish him fast! Don't wait till you regret everything!" Sherry calmly told her, "I hope you can face up to your inner feelings."
Lucille remained silent. Her eyes suddenly turned red as she murmured, "Reggie..."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside. William startled for a moment before opening the door. It was Peter, "You came really fast, Peter!"
Sherry looked back and saw Peter. She was a little confused. She couldn't help thinking of six years ago... Also, she recalled William saying that there wasn't any manager in the Rowland Group whose surname was Mollison, and glanced at William.
William understood her glance. He felt a little guilty and said, "Sherry, Peter is a good friend of mine, and he's also an extremely capable assistant from my company! It's just that he's in charge of overseas affairs!"
Peter greeted William first before turning his attention to Sherry. Then, he smiled and said, "Ms. Murray, I'm really sorry! I had no alternative but to do that last time!"
Sherry just nodded, "Hello, Mr. Mollison!"
"I'm here to pick Ms. Mclean up and send her back!" Peter was still putting on a bright smile and his gaze fell on the quiet woman on the couch. He was slightly shocked, but he managed to calm down in a flash.
"No need for that. Someone will pick her up!" William patted Peter's shoulder, "Sorry for calling you here for nothing. I'll let you have a day off tomorrow!"
"Someone?" Peter was a little puzzled.
Then, someone knocked on the door again.
"Eh! Reggie is here!" said Sherry.
Peter stared at the woman on the couch, then he looked at Sherry who went to open the door. He turned to William and said, "Mr. Rowland, I'll be leaving then. Tell me if you need anything!" William nodded, "Go ahead!"
Peter went to the door, and coincidentally ran into Reggie who had just entered into the house. They slightly nodded at each other as a sign of them greeting one another.
Reggie looked back at him again as he walked over. He frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Peter said to Sherry, "Ms. Murray, I wish you happiness!"
"Thank you!" Sherry gently replied.
Peter left.
Sherry watched Reggie standing in the living room, looking at Lucille with his calm eyes.
"Lucille, Reggie's here to pick you up!" William reminded.
Lucille lowered her head even more.
Reggie walked towards the couch and held Lucille's hands. She stunned, saying in a low voice, "Reggie, tell me. Am I particularly dirty?"
Her heavy words were heard by all three of them. Reggie's body was stiffened, "Of course not! You would always be the purest and cleanest woman I've ever known!"
"No! I'm dirty. Why did you still come for me?" Lucille suddenly withdrew her hands and covered her face while saying, "I'm so sorry!"
"Let's go home!" Reggie said nothing and hugged her.
Lucille also stopped talking and quietly leaned in Reggie's arms.
Reggie turned around, looking at William and Sherry, "Don't mind it, she still need some time to recover. Sorry for the trouble caused!"
Sherry shook her head as she felt a little touched. The moment Reggie said 'let's go home' to Lucille, her heart felt really warm. It turned out that in this world, love could be such a beautiful thing. Reggie's love for Lucille was so pure and touching.
When Lucille left with Reggie, she was still in a daze.
"They've left long ago!" William's voice suddenly became deep.
Sherry regained her attention and looked at him in dismay, "What's wrong?"
She didn't expect that William would stretched out his long arm and grabbed her small waist. Then, he aggressively pulled her into his arms.
"You're not allowed to look at Reggie like that!" He approached her with his cold face and accused her.
"How did I look at him?" His warm breath dispersed on Sherry's sensitive ear, causing her to scratch her itchy ear vigorously. However, she didn't understand what he said.
"As though you admire him!" He said with a deep voice, and his words seemed like a trap.
"Admire?" Sherry stunned, and she looked really innocent, "I didn't!"
"I could clearly see from your eyes!" He continued to accuse her as he felt a flame surging up his chest.
"William, aren't you being too dominant? I don't realize anything wrong with the way I look at Reggie. I've always been firm with this, I know who my heart wants!" Sherry pouted her lips and complained, but her eyes were filled with happiness when she looked at him.
William looked closely into her eyes and gave her an intense stare. He was satisfied to see her clear mind through her eyes, "That's more like it!"
"Are you jealous?" She asked.
"No, I'm not!" He muttered and his handsome face looked dejected. She didn't know what his tone meant, but his denial made Sherry a little uncomfortable.
Sherry muffled her voice as she felt a little embarrassed. She pushed him away and said gently, "Let's eat then... the meal is getting cold."
She was already walking towards the dining table.
William's cold and handsome face suddenly turned into a smile. He quickly moved and strode towards her.
He held her wrist and asked, "Are you angry?"
"No, why should I be angry?" She muttered quickly, "Let's eat, I'm really sleepy!"
It was already four o'clock in the morning.
"Are you disappointed that I'm not jealous?" He pulled her hand and stopped her from dodging.
