Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 808

Her voice was low, but Daniel heard her clearly.

His heart was in such great pain as it was being stabbed, but it was beat even stronger.

So, that’s what this was about.

Daniel swallowed briefly. He reached out his hand to gently lifted her head. He said with his eyes fixed on hers, “I’m so sorry.”

Perhaps his gaze was too intense, Sherry could not stare directly at him, so she looked sideways: “How can you say sorry again? It’s not your responsibility that you don’t like me. You don’t need to apologize for this.”

Daniel whispered, “I’m not saying sorry because I don’t like you. Instead, I have never directly responded to your feelings, and as a result, there was a misunderstanding between us.”

Sherry got a little confused when she heard it. She asked him with tears in her eyes, “What do you mean?”

“If I don’t like you, I won’t be around you all the time. If I don’t like you, I wouldn't have sex with you. If I don’t like you, I wouldn't...”

Wouldn't want the baby…

“It’s just that at the time, I didn’t think it was the most important thing in my life. I thought I could keep everything in balance.”

She was already in a haze from the alcohol, and now he was saying all these ambiguous words. After a while, she finally grasped a key point and asked hesitantly, “It was ‘at that time’... and what about now?”

Daniel chuckled, “Now I realize that love comes from inside one’s heart that can’t be stopped or measured. So, I can’t control it.

Sherry’s eyes opened wide as if she still did not understand.

Daniel twitched his lips, put his hand on the back of her neck and kissed her.

She remained seated on the ground in that position with her pupils more dilated.

But this kiss didn’t last long.

It was only a gentle touch of lips and soon parted.

Daniel sighed, “Go to sleep and we'll talk about it tomorrow.”

He couldn't take advantage of her while she’s drunk.

And he wasn't sure whether she’d remember what he had said the next day.

No matter what, these things should be explained while she was sober.

In the darkness, Sherry looked at him silently. Her head slightly tilted, as if she was pondering.

Daniel got up and took her to bed.

He tucked her in and was about to leave when his neck was wrapped around by two arms.

Daniel looked up at her face and saw that her eyes were bright and misty, glistening after crying.

Daniel whispered. “What’s wrong?” His voice was husky.

“I couldn’t fall asleep.”

Alcohol can also make one hyper at some point.

Daniel looked outside at the pouring rain. “Shall I get you some warm milk?”

“No.”

“So…”

As Daniel spoke, his lips were touched by something soft.

Sherry raised her head slightly and slowly closed her eyes.

Foreign land, a strange yet romantic hotel, the heavy rain outside, and the couple who just told each other their feelings.

Everything seems to be just right.

Daniel put her down on the bed and deepened the kiss, reaching in slowly.

Nevertheless, he hesitated at the last moment and asked her in a deep voice, “Are you sure about this?”

He was afraid she would regret it tomorrow.

Sherry’s head, which had been dizzy, was now unexpectedly clear.

As if she knew Daniel’s concern, she said, “I’m drunk, not wasted, ok?”

She continued, “Who wouldn’t want a romantic encounter and had a charming affair in a place like this, even if it’s not you, then...”

Daniel kissed her again. Slowly, words came through the gap between their lips, “It can only be me.”

Two minutes later, Sherry had recovered some sense from the heated head. “Go get a condom.” she said.

Daniel paused, too, and said, “I’ll find one.”

He rolled out of bed and eventually found a box on the TV stand.

After that everything happened naturally.

The sound of rain also covered up all the amatory noises in this room.

It finally returned to quietness after a long time.

Sherry rested with her head on Daniel’s arm and turned her back on him without speaking.

Daniel sat up and looked at her, asking, “Still can’t fall asleep?”

“Yeah.” she answered, feeling her head spinning.

Obviously, she was exhausted, but she was just sleepless.

Maybe there was caffeine in that wine.

Daniel tucked her in and patted her on the shoulder.

“I’ve been lying to you about something.” she said after a while.

“About what?”

“I broke up with Brandon Chang, a long time ago.”

Daniel said, “I know.”

Sherry asked, “When did you know?”

“The day you broke up.”

Sherry went in silence.

So, all this time he’s been asking her questions about her boyfriend on purpose?

“But don’t misunderstand me. I don’t have any other thoughts about telling you this. I just don’t want you to think that I’m a woman with a boyfriend and still sleep...”

She already felt that there was no need to finish her sentence.

What he would think, did it really matter?

Daniel frowned and asked, “What do you mean by 'you don't have any other thoughts'?”

“It means you don’t have to take it to heart. As I just said, it was a perfect atmosphere for something to happen. We’re all adults and we’re both single. When it feels about right, it’s normal to do something.”

Same thing she said last time.

Daniel turned her shoulder and brought her to his gaze. “So, you see this as a one-night stand?”

Sherry was a little surprised, “Isn’t it?”

Daniel’s brow furrowed deeper. “You think I lied to you about what I said?”

Sherry was quite calm, “That’s not what I meant. It’s just that I am very clear that feelings cannot be controlled by oneself. Whether you like me or not, it is just an attitude and mode of getting along. That’s as far as it goes between us. We can have sex if we like, but we don’t have to be together. Because even if we get together, we will finally break up, isn’t that true?”

Daniel nearly laughed at her. “So, you think I said that because I wanted to have sex with you?”

“I don’t feel that way. I wanted to have sex with you too,” she thought for a while and added, “I’m just stating a fact.”
