Chapter 378


    Even if she could not agree with Yvette and Yvette was at fault, Yvette was still Mark''s mother. She


    could not badmouth the mother in front of the son. No one would like to hear that.


    Mark’s voice deepened as he asked Maria to call Summer.


    He wanted Summer to send Charlotte back to the apartment, or he would pick them up from the hotel


    tomorrow afternoon.

    Maria heard voices in the background, as if Mark was i n an important meeting. The line went dead


    after that.


    It was 10:00 pm by the time Summer reached the hotel. She carried Charlotte and used the elevator to


    return to her room. Charlotte was sleeping the whole time.


    The screen of her cell phone lit up as soon as she ced Charlotte on the bed. It was Sherman calling.


    She picked up the phone and walked away from the bed. "How are you and Billy doing? Have you two


    talked it over?"


    "He said that Natalie was ill in the past few years, and she had no family or friends. He felt guilty for


    what happened between Natalie and him after getting


    drunk four years ago, and that was why he sent her money."


    "Was she ill for real?” Summer frowned.


    "Yes, she was. Billy showed me her medical record. Now she has almost recovered, and Billy has


    promised me he will never send Natalie money again. He said that he had kept the thing from me


    because he didn''t want me to think of the previous incident and feel sad." Sherman''s voice and even


    breathing were soft.


    "What about you-do you trust him?" Summer continued to ask. Now that Billy had exined. It was all


    up to Sherman whether or not to believe him.


    "I believe him." Sherman paused for a moment, and then continued. "I want to believe him. If you were


    me, would you believe him?”


    Summer shook her head. "Sherman, you may be empathetic, but not this time. You can''t know a


    personpletely and what he is thinking."


    Marriage is a life event. It is not about going to a shopping mall and seeing a piece of clothing and


    asking you whether it is beautiful. They are iparable, and things are not as simple as that.


    "I know what I am doing. Just tell me, if you were me, would you believe what he said?" In fact,


    Sherman did not know what she was doing. She wanted to believe, but hesitated. She did not believe


    him, but everything he said was so reasonable. His narrative was wless,pletely reasonable.


    "I won’t believe him,” Summer said slowly. "If I were you, I wouldn''t believe him.”


    "Why not?”


    "Even if those letters were sent to him by Natalie, and like he said, he felt guilty for Natalie and sending


    her money because of guilt, why did he still keep those letters in the drawer after he had read them?"


    Summer could not wrap her brain around this. Why did he keep those letters?


    If he was really afraid that Sherman would discover those letters, the wisest thing for him to do was to


    throw the letters away, was it not?


    "Perhaps he didn''t manage to throw them away yet..." Sherman said.


    Summer had no words. She could hear that Sherman wanted to believe Billy and was just finding a


    reason t o do so.


    "Summer, I have been with him for eight years, and we have gone through so many things. Although


    something like that has happened, it happened only because he was drunk. Since then, he has never


    had a n affair. This time, maybe he really gave Natalie money out of guilt. I want to believe him."


    Sherman said slowly. Obviously, she had already made up her mind.
