Free Web NovelChapter 640: Chapter 640: She Is Extremely Reluctant to Share a Room with Him
Their son, although only six years old, was quite chubby, making it difficult for her, a frail woman, to carry him.
Upon hearing this, Sherry glanced down at the small hand clinging tightly to her clothes, then shook her head.
"I’ll carry him instead. Mr. Shaw, you don’t mind, do you?" she asked, looking up at him.
As her words fell, Yancy Shaw was stunned.
When she was holding their child, yet still felt the need to ask if he minded... his heart suddenly ached with bitterness.
"Of course not!" A moment later, he managed a bitter smile and replied.
His eyes were filled with sorrow...
...
Not long after, the two of them, with the sleeping little one in tow, arrived at a small inn.
The inn was small, privately run, just a modest two-story building.
However, as the two of them entered, the owner warmly greeted them.
"Excuse me, do you have any rooms available?" Yancy Shaw walked in and asked politely.
The owner, a middle-aged woman, glanced at the two adults and one child with a smile, nodded, and readily replied.
"Yes, there’s still our best room available, just right for a family of three!"
A family of three...
Hearing the innkeeper’s words, Sherry was momentarily taken aback and instinctively explained.
"You misunderstood us."
Father and son, mother and son, however... they were no longer a family of three.
As Sherry spoke, Yancy Shaw’s expression turned somber.
"Sorry, it looks like I was mistaken. I thought you were a family..." the innkeeper realized and quickly apologized to them.
"It’s okay. Just arrange a small room for me," Sherry continued.
But as soon as she said this, the innkeeper’s face showed a troubled expression, and she said helplessly.
"Well... we only have a few rooms here. Normally, there aren’t many guests, but today, all of them are occupied, except for the big room..."
Only one room left?
Upon hearing the innkeeper, Sherry hastily asked her again.
"Then... is there another hotel nearby? A bit farther is fine."
"There aren’t many cars on this road, and mine is the only hotel around here. If you want a different one, you might have to go a few kilometers away," the innkeeper shook her head.
Upon hearing the innkeeper’s words, Sherry’s face bore a few traces of helplessness, so she could only request further.
"Then... could we borrow your phone for a moment?"
It seemed they could only have someone come pick them up.
Upon Sherry’s request, the innkeeper sighed and couldn’t help but complain.
"For some reason today, the signal in this area is malfunctioning. Forget about making a call; my phone doesn’t even have enough signal to stream a drama."
It was unclear what had happened, but suddenly this afternoon, there was no mobile network signal...
"..." Sherry was stunned. She didn’t expect them to have such bad luck today.
First, the car ran out of gas, then the phone ran out of battery, followed by no rooms at the inn, and now even the signal was gone?
Seeing her dejected look, Yancy Shaw couldn’t help but feel a heartache, as if stabbed several times.
Despite her earlier struggle, it was obvious to anyone that she was very unwilling to share a room with him...
