Meanwhile, Shermaine was on her way back to the hotel with Joshua. They had gone shopping after the wedding ended.

Before that, Shermaine had already stored quite a lot of snacks in Apocalypse. What she bought in Ustrana were all beautiful jewelry and the like. The things designed by designers from the Kingdom of Xyperia were different from those back in her home country.

Shermaine yawned in the car at that moment.

“Are your feet sore?” Joshua asked.

Shermaine nodded.

She had been standing for a long time today. She didn’t feel anything at first, but now she did feel a bit sore in her feet. Moreover, her belly seemed to be bigger than when she was pregnant with Gracie. At the same time, Shermaine got hungry very easily.

Halfway through the journey, Shermaine said she was hungry.

Joshua then said, “What do you want to eat? I’ll buy some ingredients and go back to make it for you.”

Shermaine said, “I want durian pizza.”

Joshua smiled, “Sheary, was your taste this strong when you were pregnant with Gracie?”

Shermaine didn’t used to eat such heavy-tasting food. Shermaine thought for a moment, then said, “Was it that bad?”

The car stopped in front of a fruit store. Joshua said, “I’ll go down to buy, you wait in the car.”

Shermaine grabbed his hand, wanting to go with him.

Joshua realized that Shermaine was relying on him, so he put his arm around her waist and asked, “Aren’t your feet weak?”

She said, “Even so, I still want to go.”

Joshua then took her out of the car. The two held hands and walked into the fruit store. The store was big, and since it was nearly closing time, there weren’t many people. There were all kinds of fruits here, and they were very fresh.

Joshua put a durian into the shopping cart. Shermaine remembered something–there seemed to be no cherries or strawberries in the Kingdom of Xyperia.

So, Shermaine found a shop assistant and asked her to send several boxes of fresh cherries and strawberries to the hotel the next morning.

Meanwhile, Shermaine suddenly paused and glanced outside. A car had parked behind theirs, and a man sitting in the car was staring straight at them. Actually, Shermaine hadn’t paid attention to him at first, but that man’s gaze was really sinister and didn’t leave them.

The light was too dim, and the man was wearing a hooded sweater, so she couldn’t see his face clearly at all.

It would be easy to find out his identity, but recently, there were quite a lot of people paying attention to Shermaine, and she didn’t have time to check each one carefully. As long as those people didn’t come to cause trouble, she didn’t mind being followed.

However, being pregnant for the second time had made her temper a bit worse, at least worse than when she was pregnant with Gracie for the first time.

Maybe it was because Joshua had spoiled her, Shermaine’s expression turned cold all of a sudden. The man drove away immediately after Shermaine looked over.

Chapter 604

After buying the fruits, Joshua and Shermaine went to a supermarket again. This time, Shermaine didn’t go in with him; instead, she looked at the information about that man which Orthish had just found out.

His life was quite sad. He had been abandoned by his parents since he was a child and grew up being bullied. The man was dull and had no interpersonal relationships. However, he graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Harrod University. It was just that because of his gloomy personality, he achieved nothing and then became an ordinary otaku. Now he worked as a teacher in a school.

Shermaine pondered for a moment, then closed the information. Although this man had a miserable growth process, Shermaine didn’t like to sympathize with the weak, because he was clearly very smart and had the chance to become strong. So, she didn’t take him to heart.

The silver car drove for a long time and finally stopped. The man went into the house, locked the door, and then went to the basement.

When he got to the basement, he turned on the light. He hadn’t shaved for a long time, and his eyes were green. His basement was actually a research room; he was a scientific and technological professional. He turned on the computer, and there was a photo of Faye on it. Looking at Faye’s photo, he murmured obsessively, “Baby, don’t worry, I’ll avenge you.”

In this world, only Faye was good to him, but Shermaine killed his dearest person. This was completely unforgivable.

Back at the hotel, Joshua started making durian pizza for Shermaine. Joshua’s cooking skills were really good. Shermaine had a big appetite and ate her fill, lying on the sofa like a satisfied cat, while Joshua sat beside her and massaged her feet.

During this period, he had been working hard without complaint, taking her orders. Even when Shermaine lost her temper a little, he didn’t show any displeasure. After the massage, Shermaine sat on his lap and kissed his lips.

After being kissed, Joshua teased, “You taste like durian.”

Shermaine leaned over to kiss him again. Joshua opened his mouth accordingly and then hugged her. He didn’t dislike the durian-flavored kiss. In his opinion, Shermaine’s lips were always sweet. He hooked Shermaine’s tongue, kissed her hard, and then began to caress her body.

Shermaine frowned and pushed him away. “Stop, this is a reward.”

Joshua buried his head in her neck. “I want a little more reward.” They hadn’t had sex for three months, and Joshua couldn’t hold back a bit.

Shermaine put her finger on his lips and pressed it slightly. “No.” She was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

Joshua kissed her neck and then asked, “Then can you call me Dear?”

He had heard Danielle call Ross that way and Molly call Roy that way, too. But Shermaine had never called him Dear. No matter when, she always called him Mr. York or Joshua.

Shermaine refused.

“Sheary, please,” Joshua coaxed her patiently.

But Shermaine refused no matter what. She got off Joshua’s lap and went back to the bedroom to brush her teeth.

Joshua waited for her on the bed patiently. After a while, as soon as she lay down, he wrapped himself around her. “Sheary, I want to hear you call me Dear.”

Shermaine was too annoyed by him to sleep, so she glared at him. “Mr. York, stop messing around.”

Joshua kissed her lips to shake her resolve. “If you call me that, I’ll stop messing with you.”

Chapter 604

Shermaine really wanted to sleep, so after hesitating for a while, she said, “Dear.”

After actually saying the name, Shermaine thought it was nothing, just a bit strange, not as good as calling him Mr. York.

But Joshua was very happy. He had said he wouldn’t mess with her, but after hearing the name, Joshua obviously kissed her more passionately and clingingly.

“Sheary, I love you.” He liked Shermaine calling him that.

Shermaine smiled, feeling the warmth from him on her back. “Then can I sleep, Dear?”

Joshua put his arm under her neck. “Sleep, baby.”
