Chapter 1205 Your Woman
Holley froze like a statue. She hadn't expected Charles to show up at this point. It also hadn't occurred
to her that she had wasted a large sum of money for nothing. What was worse, her behavior had put
her into an even more embarrassing situation.
"What are you looking at? Go mind your own business," Holley shouted at the onlookers with an
exasperated expression. She couldn't stand other's chiding and reproachful glances especially with
Sheryl and Charles around.
"What a mean woman! She took advantage of our sympathy to bully innocent people!"
"She's such a shameless woman. How could she continue to stay here? Isn't she ashamed of herself?
"
"Go away!" Holley bellowed as she glared at the crowd with a threatening look. She was done with the
harsh remarks. Most importantly, she didn't want Charles to see her in such an awkward position.
"Don't mess with her. She's such a bad person. What if she takes revenge on us?"
"You're right. It's pointless to continue to stay here. We should go grab something to eat. There's no
need to waste our time here. Let's get going."
As the onlookers started to walk away, a woman in her late forties made her way over to Sheryl and
stopped in front of her. "Young lady, you better be careful. It's difficult to handle those who will stab you
in the back," she reminded earnestly.
Sheryl smiled at her and nodded. She knew the woman's comments were coming from a good place.
But she couldn't forget that this same woman had scolded her in the front when she had been
misunderstood.
'Why are there so many self-righteous people in this world? They think they know everything and they
only believe their own judgement. What a world!'
As Sheryl was absorbed in her thoughts, Rachel and Holley were about to run away. She planned to
stop them and teach them a hard lesson, but she let them leave after seeing how miserable they
looked.
When she thought about those pictures of Charles and Rachel, she found Rachel so disgusting that
she was unwilling to stay another minute in the same room with her.
Soon the entire crowd dispersed, leaving Sheryl, Isla and Charles standing in front of the counter. "Why
are you here?" he asked with a frown.
"Mr. Lu, do you have a problem with us being here? Do you think we're not qualified to eat here?"
Sheryl asked in a derisive tone. She was grateful to Charles for his coming to rescue. However, she
was still angry with him.
As a result, her gratitude toward him was defeated by anger and hatred.
"Now that you're here, let's have a seat!" Charles invited in a cold tone. He had trouble standing
Sheryl's hostile attitude. 'I helped her out but she still treats me in such an unfriendly way. She hasn't
even explained what was going on with her and that young man at the hospital. But she always
presents herself as the victim, ' he pondered, miffed inside.
He had no idea what he had done to Sheryl to deserve her indifference and anger. He loved her so
much and did everything to suck up to her, but she remained unmoved.
'Is it fair that I'm always the only one trying in our relationship?
If we go on like this, will I be able to keep her by my side?
Can we live happily together for the rest of our lives?' he wondered.
In fact, he was happy to accept Sheryl for who she was. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her
and resolved to cherish her, dote on her and love her for the rest of his life.
However, this was all based on the Sheryl's promise to be his wife and to be loyal to him forever.
As far as he was concerned, Sheryl didn't love him wholeheartedly. Charles was having a hard time
believing she would stay by his side for the rest of her life.
"Sher, what's going on with you two? You're both acting kind of strange," Isla asked her confidant,
sensing the intensity in the air. She thought Sheryl and Charles had made peace. But in fact, the
couple's relationship had been getting progressively worse for some time now.
Ignoring her question, Sheryl turned around and said to Isla, "I don't feel like eating here. How about
we go somewhere else?"
"Sheryl, don't you think we should sit down and have a talk?" Charles asked with a sullen look as he
grabbed Sheryl's arm quickly.
"What is there to talk about? I have nothing to say to you," Sheryl snorted without turning to look at
Charles. She didn't dare meet his gaze. As upset with him as she was, Sheryl knew that she might fall
for his enchanting eyes.
Closing his eyes in frustration, Charles decided he needed to figure out what was going on between his
wife and that young man at the hospital. Otherwise, he might lose his mind. "You have nothing to tell
me? There's nothing you think you should explain to me?" Charles continued, disappointed by Sheryl's
reaction.
"Oh, wow, that's funny. What do you expect me to explain?" Sheryl responded with a desperate laugh.
She didn't understand what Charles meant. 'I did nothing wrong. Why does he think that I owe him an This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
explanation?' she thought indignantly.
"Are you sure? Then tell me, who is that young man you visited at the hospital?" Charles queried
hysterically as his face turned dark with fury.
"Young man? Charles, you followed me? You're not in a position to grill me like this. Did you forget
what you did?" Sheryl spat furiously, as she turned around and glared at Charles.
'I wan't going to bring up the affair, but now he's accusing me of cheating.
This is so ridiculous, ' she thought, seething with anger.
"I didn't follow you. Besides, even if I did, what's the problem with that? You're my woman," Charles
replied in a bossy manner.
"Your woman? You still think of me as your woman?" Sheryl grilled, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"What do you mean by that? You'll always be my woman," Charles responded with a confused look.
"If that was really true, then why would you sneak around with Rachel behind my back? Why?" Sheryl
finally blurted out the insecurities she had kept buried for days.
The moment the words were out, she instantly felt relieved.
The burden of the affair had been suffocating and it had finally been lifted. All she wanted was for
Charles to admit to his mistake.
