His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1188 Leave My Son Quickly

It was becoming clear to Sheryl that Gary was very smart. He had experienced so much that nothing

could be hidden from him. But even if he knew what Melissa had done, what would he do?

Should he side with Sheryl or Melissa? Would he attempt to guide Charles to make a choice between

the two women?

Deciding not to involve himself in this dilemma, Gary felt that it would be better to pretend to know

nothing.

After all, everyone had to live his own life, and be responsible for his own decision.

"Charles is working overtime at the company and has to attend an unscheduled meeting," Sheryl told

Gary.

"Charles is a workaholic. When he is working, he seldom pays attention to other things. Having worked

so hard for many years, he never has any spare time. Thanks to him, my life is quite relaxing now."

Gary nodded in appreciation. Sheryl could easily sense the love and pride he felt towards his grandson.

"Okay, that's all. I just wanted to tell you about my trip. It's late, so I should head off to bed. Tomorrow

morning I have to get up early and catch my flight," Gary said as he smiled. Although Charles wasn't

here, Gary was sure that Sheryl or Melissa would tell him about his trip.

Feeling tired and eager to go to bed, he stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs to his room.

After Gary left, only Melissa and Sheryl remained in the living room. An awkward silence fell over the

room. Not wanting to be alone with Melissa, Sheryl decided she would follow Gary's lead and go to bed

as well. But as she started to walk away, Melissa stopped her.

"Sheryl!" Melissa said anxiously.

Sheryl stopped, but didn't turn around. After pausing she said, "Yes, Mom?"

"Have you quarreled with Charles again?"

Hearing Melissa's words, Sheryl immediately turned round. "What do you mean?" she asked

suspiciously.

"I mean nothing. I just want to say, if you've realized that you're not a match for my son, then you

should leave him! Don't get in the way of him living a happy life!" Melissa was sure that Sheryl and

Charles must be in conflict because Sheryl acted slightly embarrassed when Gary had mentioned

Charles.

Not wanting to be misunderstood, Sheryl didn't reply. Instead, she shook her head and walked upstairs.

A smile crept slowly onto Melissa's face when she watched Sheryl's receding figure. 'Everything is

starting to go according to my plan, ' she thought happily to herself.

After taking a bath and snuggling up in bed, a sleepless Sheryl tossed and turned.

At around midnight, Charles finally returned. There was no smell of perfume or alcohol exuding from

his clothes or body, and Sheryl couldn't find any flaws in his tired look. It seemed that he had truly been

working late.

Moreover, he seemed to have worked very hard.

Pretending to be asleep, Sheryl was careful to keep her eyes shut.

Meanwhile, Charles didn't want to waken her so he tried to stay very quiet. His gentle behavior

reminded Sheryl of the last time he had come late. Not wanting to wake her up, Charles had been very

quiet as he tiptoed around the room and took a silent bath before slipping under the covers next to her.

Sheryl suddenly felt sorry for Charles. However, she mentally scolded herself, not wanting to be moved

by his actions so easily.

The next day, Sheryl drove Gary to the airport and then went straight to the company. As for Clark and

Shirley, Charles drove them to kindergarten.

It seemed that Charles hadn't noticed Sheryl's recent emotional changes. He didn't know why Sheryl

was still cold to him.

So, after driving their children to kindergarten, he also rushed to work. Recently, the Shining Company

had been facing trouble. Rachel was the mastermind behind it. Although these problems weren't too

hard to handle, Charles still needed to spend time on them.

"Sher, come here and help me, please," Isla shouted as soon as Sheryl walked into the office.

"What's wrong?" Sheryl rarely saw Isla so anxious unless she was facing a big problem.

"It's about Lansh Technology. Look, these people in the news are the founders of the Lansh

Technology, aren't they?" Isla was shocked as if she had just discovered a new continent.

"What happened to the Lansh Technology?" Hearing this name, Sheryl was a little surprised. If the

Lansh Technology had started business successfully, it would certainly attract the public's attention in

the Y City.

After all, the research focus they had chosen was very special. In Y City, there were few such

companies, so as long as they finished their research with precision and started a business

successfully, they would definitely deserve a place there.

This was the reason Sheryl was willing to cooperate with them despite their inability to pay high profits.

So, at the beginning, Sheryl had been optimistic about both the future of this company and the futures

of the young people.

But now, the news of Lansh Technology was being broadcast. The bad news was that the founders of

the company were now in conflict with one another. It was becoming apparent to Sheryl that Lansh

Technology might not be able to start their business on time.

"The founders of the company had been in conflict before even starting the business. So imagine how

much worse the conflict could get after starting business!" Isla signed as she read the news again. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Sheryl, however, was confused about the authenticity of this news. From her perspective, those young

people seemed unlikely to fight with each other over something so trivial.

"Could they have been faced with

some unexpected problems that they don't want to reveal?" Sheryl tentatively asked Isla.

"I don't think they've been faced with any problem! Otherwise, they would have answered the phone.

Yesterday, I called them more than ten times but no one answered the phone."

Isla's first impressions of the company founders were not very good.

"Is this the only reason you believe they haven't had any problems? Maybe they didn't hear the

telephone ring." Sheryl immediately discovered the reason why Isla was so angry.

"I don't know whether they heard the telephone ring or not, but that's unimportant now. Since they've

been having difficulties starting their business, we naturally must stop our cooperation with them. I think

we should directly eliminate this company from our list."
