Chapter 602
Besides needing to discuss with Joshua who would be in charge of the scientific team, Shermaine also had to tell Shirley in advance about sending humans to the Kingdom of Xyperia to study.
The plan was set to officially kick off in June, and before that, she had plenty of time to make thorough preparations.
Roy had left Isaac to take care of Gracie. After playing with Gracie for a while, he ran off to find Molly. When he saw that Molly had already lost over three million dollars, he stepped up without hesitation to be her strategist.
Danielle had lost money too, but not as much as Molly. After Roy arrived, Mollyโs situation turned around a bit, but they still couldnโt beat Joshua. So Danielle called out, โDear, come over here.โ
Ross had been chatting with Henry, but upon hearing Danielleโs call, he left Henry behind and ran to help her.
Joshua didnโt feel threatened. Shermaine was the gambling king in the Kingdom of Xyperia, and he, as the gambling kingโs husband, was also highly skilled. Lily felt really tormented playing cards with them.
Though Lily couldnโt beat them, over the years of helping Shermaine manage Oliger Company, she had grown tougher and tougher.
Lily was quite well-known in the entire business circle, and many men wanted to flatter her. However, after being hurt by her scumbag ex, Lily hadnโt looked for another boyfriend.
Left alone, Henry lit another cigarette, feeling lonely, and at the same time, glanced at Lily with sympathy. Lily smiled faintly at him, seemingly not caring much about them being in pairs.
Perhaps due to good luck, Lily even made a little money, so she still wore a smile while playing cards and was in a good mood.
After finishing his cigarette, Henry went to watch cartoons with Isaac and Gracie.
Isaac actually struggled a bit holding Gracie. Seeing this, Henry took Gracie from him, then looked carefully at the little girl who was like a doll.
He thought, โSheโs really cute. When will I find a woman Iโm satisfied with to have a child?โ He almost forgot that he was frigid about sex.
While Henry was holding Gracie, Isaac squeezed over and said, โHenry, you canโt be biased. Hold me, will you?โ
Henry was handsome, and when he smiled, he really looked like a fox, so Isaac started clinging to him.
This group of people played cards from the afternoon until it got dark. At nine oโclock in the evening, they had dinner, and then each went their separate ways.
Molly planned to stay in Wallington for a week. A week later, Royโs parents went with Roy to Ustrana to meet Hillary. The parents of both sides spent half a month discussing the wedding.
Molly was very efficient. She registered for marriage with Roy. When Roy saw the marriage certificate, he was overjoyed.
He shared the news of his marriage on every social media platform and told each of his friends. In the end, Henry blocked him for a week. Maybe Roy had shown off his wedding date too much in the group, so Joshua kicked him out.
The wedding was set for May 1st. The Shay family was very happy about Royโs marriage.
Molly was much more reliable than Roy, who only knew how to stick with Molly. Anyway, Jake and Lilian just wanted a grandson, so other things didnโt matter.
After being kicked out of the group chat by Joshua, Roy went to the study to find Molly. Molly was having a video meeting on her computer, arranging the wedding. Suddenly, she felt someone under the desk. She looked down and saw Roy.
Roy was grinning, with a glint in his eyes. It was obvious he was up to no good.
Molly kept a straight face. Roy had really been trained well by her; now he would do anything, especially when it came to sex, with no bottom line.
The people at the meeting, seeing that Molly wasnโt speaking anymore, asked, โMs. Hill, do you have any other instructions?โ
โLetโs discuss other things tomorrow morning,โ Molly said, then closed her computer. โWerenโt you inviting your friends to the wedding and moving your work to Ustrana? Did you finish that so quickly?โ
โIโve arranged the work, and Iโve invited my friends. But maybe I showed off too much, so Joshua kicked me out of the group,โ Roy kissed her knee. โYouโre still the best.โ
Molly smiled, โOur wedding date is set the fastest. He and Sherry have been married for so many years and still havenโt held a wedding. He must not be able to stand you.โ
โI know,โ Roy kissed Molly. โJoshua is just jealous of me.โ He whispered in her ear, โMomo looks really nice today.โ
โYou little rascal,โ Molly teased.
Roy said, โYou asked Shermaine for those condoms. Can we try them now?โ
Molly didnโt expect he had found out about that. She said, โThe condoms are in the room.โ
Roy then took out a condom and put it on the desk. โI brought three. Do you want the orange one or the blue one?โ
Molly replied, โBlue.โ
โHelp me, will you?โ Roy held her.
Molly was in a good mood, so she complied.
After kicking Roy out of the group chat, Joshua thought it was time to hold his and Shermaineโs wedding. He went to find Shermaine. When he talked to Shermaine about the wedding, Shermaine replied, โIโm pregnant.โ
She was pregnant as Joshua had wished. Though they couldnโt go traveling, Joshua was still very happy.
Shermaine teased, โMr. York, does your mouth have magic?โ
Joshua held her and said, โI think my dick is magical.โ
His wish to have another child had come true, but his wedding with Shermaine would have to be postponed. Shermaine didnโt want to hold a wedding while pregnant, not to mention she was too busy to spare time to plan the tedious wedding.
Shermaine looked at him and smiled. โMr. York, Iโm going to trouble you to take care of me during this pregnancy.โ
โI will,โ Joshua said. When Shermaine was pregnant with Gracie, Joshua wasnโt by her side. That was a great regret in his life. This time, no matter what, he would make it up to Shermaine. They smiled at each other.
Shermaine asked again, โI asked you to choose a person in charge. Do you have someone in mind?โ
Joshua nodded and said, โHenry.โ
Hearing that, Shermaine raised her eyebrows. Henry was indeed a suitable candidate. โHave you told Henry?โ
โYes, and he was happy to take it,โ Joshua said.
Shermaine teased, โMaybe in the next few years in the Kingdom of Xyperia, he can solve his single problem.โ
โItโs possible,โ Joshua said.
But ever since he became an adult, Henry had never been committed to one woman. He hung around in places of pleasure but never dated women.
Joshua knew one of his secrets. Because Henryโs parents had a bad relationship when he was a child, and he had caught his mother fooling around with another man, he had a mental cleanliness about relationships, which seemed to have led to his frigidity.
Joshua told Shermaine about this.
Shermaine smiled and said, โMr. York, you also have strong self-control, but as soon as I tease you, your body starts to invite me.โ
โHenry not having a girlfriend isnโt because of physical problems, and his psychological issues arenโt that serious either. If one day he meets someone he likes, this obstacle will break down on its own,โ Joshua said.
But Henry never expected that two years later, the lover he met would almost drive him into depression.
