Yigol Novak clenched his teeth: “Suri and I only sleep in the same bed now, and nothing else has happened.”
After saying that, Yigol sighed with relief.
“Ah?” Sherry Woods was quite surprised. She understood Yigol’s meaning, but it was unexpected for her.
She stared at Yigol and examined him carefully, then asked tentatively, “Yigol, is your health not so good? I mean, that kind of thing…?”
Yigol hurriedly denied, “No, no, don’t worry, Ms. Woods, my health is fine.”
“I knew last time that there was nothing between you two, so I created opportunities for you, but how could you…” Sherry looked at Yigol in confusion.
“Is Suri not beautiful? You’re young and healthy, right?”
“Or is it that you don’t like girls and prefer boys?”
Faced with these inexplicable suspicions from Sherry, Yigol could only deny them hurriedly, “No, no, none of that.”
“Suri is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, and I love her very much. My orientation is normal, and I’ve only loved Suri. It’s because she’s important to me that I respect her and protect her carefully. Ms. Woods, do you understand what I’m saying?” Yigol looked at Sherry and asked.
Sherry fell into thought, glancing at Yigol from time to time.
Yigol felt overwhelmed, dealing with his mother-in-law was something he had no experience in, and it was embarrassing for him to talk about these things with her.
After a long silence, Sherry spoke again, “So you’re saying that you two are legally married, but you haven’t done anything beyond that?”
“If it’s not your problem, then it’s Suri’s problem. Is she unwilling to…you know, be intimate with you?”
Yigol nodded and quickly shook his head again, “It’s not that she’s unwilling, it’s just that she…”
“So, while Suri and I sleep in the same bed now, we are still innocent. Our feelings for each other are great, but our intimacy is limited to holding hands and such. As a matter of fact, I haven’t even kissed her up to now.”
“As soon as I show any intimacy, she becomes incredibly nervous and scared. I guess it’s related to her upbringing, so I thought I’d try to understand her from her family background. That’s why I came here. Do you understand what I’m trying to say, Ms. Woods?”
Having said so much, Sherry finally understood what Yigol meant.
She asked, “What should I do to help you?”
Yigol waved his hand, “I don’t want you to help me. I just want to learn more about Suri’s past so I can break through her defenses.”
“Ms. Woods, Suri grew up with you, right? And she has always lived in this house, right? I want to see her living environment, see if I can learn more about her from the traces she left behind.”
“If there are any clues, that would be great. If not, I can still learn about her past from you, so I can understand why she feels so insecure.”
Sherry’s eyes reddened with emotion, “Yigol, thank you. You’re really trying your best. It’s Suri’s good fortune to be with you, and I can rest assured knowing that she’s with you.”
Sherry, being a woman herself, was quite sensitive, and her own failed marriage made her view men with prejudice.
But with Yigol, she couldn’t find any faults.
Yigol took care of Suri in every way, even in the most intimate matters, which touched Sherry deeply.
Sherry said, “Suri has always been with me, but after starting middle school, she went to a boarding school and rarely stayed here. After high school, she became even more elusive, and after graduation, she moved out and bought her own place.”
“Back then, I was immersed in my own thoughts and didn’t know how to interact with her.”
“Her room is still the same. All her belongings are there. Come, let me show you her room.” Sherry then led Yigol to Suri’s room.
Yigol hurriedly replied, ‘Ms. Woods, it’s getting late. Let’s have dinner first, and then I’ll go and take a look. I need to examine everything carefully to understand what Suri was like in the past.”
“Yes, yes, okay.” Having heard Yigol’s words, Sherry naturally had no objection.
As long as it was good for her daughter, whatever Yigol said was right.
After dinner, Yigol went to Suri’s room, and Sherry wisely did not disturb him. After all, she didn’t know much about Suri’s past, and her presence might inhibit Yigol in the room.
The room was quite different from what Yigol had imagined. Upon entering, he saw pink everywhere and dolls and stuffed animals all around.
The room was filled with girlish touches, indicating that Suri didn’t have many worries and was a simple and happy girl in the past.
There was even an album on her table, filled with pictures of a male celebrity.
It turned out that Suri had been a fan of someone up
Yigol looked around while imagining what Suri looked like in the past.
She had two tables – a dressing table and a study desk. The study desk was large, with various ornaments on it and an old computer with a large screen.
In her grade school days, having a computer like this meant coming from a wealthy family.
When Yigol was her age, he was still watching black and white television.
Then, Yigol flipped through some of Suri’s books on her desk, hoping to find traces of her feelings, maybe some emotional records.
But he miscalculated – there was nothing about her emotions in those books.
Instead, he found another album, this one documenting Suri’s growth – from when she was a baby to when she wore diapers and changed her teeth…
“It’s definitely my wife. She was even beautiful and adorable as a child.” Yigol said as he looked through the album.
Suddenly, Yigol had an idea to take pictures of these memories.
As soon as the idea came, he immediately put it into action, taking out his phone and snapping pictures of Suri’s album.
Then, he carefully examined the rest of her room, not wanting to miss a single detail about Suri..
