Sheldon Yale committed many evils, and whatever the outcome, it was his retribution.
Yet, she worried about Chester Yale; she didn't want him to take any extreme measures because of Sheldon.
"Evelyn Sherman, you're all I have left. Promise me, no matter what happens, you will never leave me!" Chester Yale placed Little Darling down and extended his arms to pull her into his embrace.
He held her tightly.
"I promise you, I won't leave you. You're not alone; you have not just me, but also our children. We'll always be with you…" Evelyn Sherman clasped his sturdy waist and, on her tiptoes, she initiated a kiss on his thin lips.
No sooner had she touched him than Chester Yale turned the tables, pressing her against the wall and deepening the kiss.
"Mm!" Evelyn Sherman's eyes widened in astonishment.
She had only meant to give him a peck, not to kiss him this earnestly!
