Sherry bought gifts for Stella, Winnie, Channing, and those employees at the studio.

She took out her phone and looked at the time. It was seven o'clock.

It was almost time to board the plane.

Soon Sherry was on the plane back to City N.

She sat by the window, looked out into the night, and pondering.

She had indeed been hasty this trip.

But then again, something unexpected had happened.

She was a little impulsive but not really regretful.

In that situation, hearing him say those words, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

What was more, one was supposed to face his desires head-on. There was nothing to run away from it.

But she also knew very well that even if Daniel liked her, it wouldn't change anything.

She knew he stuck to the non-marriage doctrine and had never felt that she was different from his previous girlfriends.

Whoever believed in such a thing as letting a womanizer get married was a fool.

Even though she was now rebelling against her family for not getting married, she knew in her heart that she would, in the end, get married.

So there was no need for her to waste any more extra emotions.

It was enough to be happy for a short while. How nice to keep it simple!

The plane rose into the air and everything drown out by the rumbling engine.

Sherry closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.

...

In City N.

When Clarence arrived home at 8.30 pm, Stella had just come out of the shower.

Clarence raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist, "You did know I was coming home?"

Stella pushed against his chest, "Stop it. The food is in the pot for you. Go and eat it yourself. I'm going to bed."
