Chapter 581 I Believe You


    Anthony couldn''t help but asked Sheryl for confirmation when he heard about Charles''s visit. "Did he


    want?" he added.


    "Nothing," Sheryl replied shortly. She didn''t expect this might upset Anthony even more. In fact, Sheryl


    really didn''t know the purpose of Charles''s visit today. And she was not interested to know anyway.


    However, Anthony didn''t believe her. With a frown, he asked a question that Sheryl didn''t expect. "Sher,


    do you really value his words more than mine?"


    Aghast, Sheryl asked in return,"What are you talking about?" She couldn''t hide the surprised look on


    her face. She really couldn''t understand why Anthony would always lose his temper whenever things


    would involve Charles. It actually gave her a headache already. "He came to see me but I sent him


    away. Don''t you believe me at all?"


    Anthony went nk for a moment after hearing Sheryl''s words. He felt bad after realizing that he


    seemed to have misunderstood her. Now, he couldn''t help asking himself, ''Since when had things


    be wired between us?''


    To make it up to her, he immediately replied,"Sher, you know that''s not what I meant." As much as


    possible, he didn''t want to make things worse between them so he needed to make Sheryl understand


    him. Despite feeling nervous, he tried to pull Sheryl''s hands to hold them, but she just shrugged him off.


    "Anthony, when did you be so sensitive? Why don''t you believe me any more?" Her voice was full


    of resentment.


    "No. I just..." He still tried to exin but couldn''t find the right words to say. Well, It took two to tango.


    They had been together for quite a while now and whatever the situations were right now, both of them


    should be held liable. "I believe you. I just don''t trust him," he uttered in exasperation.


    Sheryl felt exhausted dealing with this topic. She found it really useless to argue about it. So, she tried


    to find something to talk about. She stared at Anthony quietly while contemting. After a while, she


    said,"About the contract, I have considered the consequences. I also asked Shirley''s opinion about it.


    She likes staying here and she wishes to study here. So..." It took a while before she could finish what


    she wanted to say. She took a deep breath before she continued. "I would grant her wish and I''ve


    decided to stay."


    She did her best to sound as convincing as possible, not wanting to get any negativements from


    Anthony. She was really wondering why they would always fight every time they met. She had always


    wanted to have a good, peaceful, and calm conversation with him every time they talked, but things


    would always happen the other way around. Anxiously waiting for his reaction, she couldn''t help but


    wish that this time, Anthony wouldn''t oppose her.


    Fortunately, Anthony smiled. Well, he also contemted a lot. Since Sheryl wanted to stay, he would


    respect her decision.


    "What a coincidence! Actually, I wanted to..." He stopped for a while. He could see Sheryl''s expectant


    look. She was waiting for him to finish what he wanted to say. "I wanted to talk about that with you too,"


    he continued. Before saying more, he let out a softugh. "If you wanted to stay, I have no objection to


    it. But..." It seemed like he had more to say. Sheryl stayed quiet waiting for him to continue. "I''d like to


    remind you..." He intentionally kept his words hanging to see Sheryl''s reactions to every word he just


    said.


    "What is it?" Sheryl couldn''t wait any longer. She felt like Anthony was deliberately keeping his words


    hanging so she immediately asked without waiting for him to finish. In her mind, Sheryl thought that


    Anthony just wanted to warn her again to stay away from Charles. But she was wrong this time. What


    Anthony wanted to say was about BM Corporation.


    Anthony frowned slightly and continued,"I tried to do some investigations on BM Corporation, but


    whenever I wanted to dig deeper, it seemed that someone would block my way. I felt like someone


    wanted to stop me from investigating. Isn''t it so weird? So, I would advise, if you must sign the contract,


    I hope you would also keep an eye on it."


    What Anthony found out was all the models in BM Corporation signed five-year contract and this made


    him worried.


    "I got it," Sheryl promptly responded. She gently nodded her head to show to Anthony that she


    understood his point. She felt relieved that they could finally talk.


    She cast a nce at Anthony and said,"Anthony, there''s really nothing between Charles and me. I


    hope you would believe it."


    She paused for a moment before she continued. "Whether it was in the past, in the present or in the


    future, there''s nothing between us. We are like two people living in two different worlds. I hope you can


    trust me with that."


    A hint of pleasure showed in Anthony''s eyes after he heard what Sheryl said. "Silly woman." Anthony


    couldn''t help butugh. He felt happy of what he heard. He stretched out his hand to caress Sheryl''s


    hair and said,"It''s all because I care for you."


    "I know." Sheryl couldn''t help but bow down her head to hide her flushing face because of Anthony''s


    gesture. She couldn''t resist his sweet approach. To hide her nervousness, she also let out a softugh

    and said,"So, in the future, don''t be silly to have a fight with Charles, okay? Look at you, you''re already


    a grown up. Save me from some worries, alright?"


    Sheryl let out a sigh and look up to meet Anthony''s gaze. She continued,"What if you got your fingers


    burned, who would you hold responsible for it? Who would you me?"


    "Burn my fingers?" Anthony eximed. "You couldn''t be serious, right?" Anthony sneered,"You''ve


    already seen him today and you must have seen the wounds on his face."


    A proud expression appeared on Anthony''s face while he continued. "Don''t worry. If I have to fight with


    him, the worst thing would a draw. I wouldn''t have anything to lose."


    "You sound so confident," Sheryl muttered. She couldn''t help but give Anthony a perplexed look. She


    suddenly felt familiar of this situation. It was as if they were brought back to the time they just first met.


    But obviously something had changed.


    "Sher..." Anthony''s voice brought her back to her senses. Anthony broke into augh when he saw the


    expression on her face. He then decided to end their conversation. "It''s alreadyte. I think I''d better


    leave."


    "Okay." She couldn''t find what words to say. So she just slightly nodded her head. She still couldn''t


    fathom Anthony''s words so she seemed to behave strange.


    Anthony then let out a sigh. He was actually reluctant to leave. He was expecting Sheryl would stop


    him from leaving and ask him to stay. But, it seemed impossible for now. If he wanted to stay and


    spend the night with Sheryl, he would have to wait until they got married.


    He shot a sad nce at Sheryl before saying,"You should go to bed too. Don''t stay upte." Sheryl


    could feel that he had not done yet. She knew, he still had something to say. Finally, he voiced it


    out,"By the way, would you mind if I take you to meet my parents in two days?"


    Sheryl was a little taken aback but she did her best not to show it. "Well, I don''t." After a short moment


    of hesitation, she eventually agreed.


    Actually, Anthony was thinking that Charles''s existence had brought a lot of changes including the


    rtionship between Sheryl and him. Their rtionship seemed to have changed a lot and that was


    why he thought of bringing everything back on track. And this was the time to make everything back to


    what and how it used to be.


    Anyhow, she had already agreed to meet his parents before she came to Y City from abroad. So, there


    would be no more reasons to have it dyed.


    Feeling satisfied with Sheryl''s response, Anthony then left. The next day, Sheryl contacted George first


    thing in the morning. Since she had decided to stay, she thought it was just the right time for her to


    make a move. This was now the right time to sign the contract.


    They had agreed to meet at the hotel''s lobby. Shirley was still sleeping and Sheryl didn''t want to take


    longer so she decided not to wake her up anymore and just left by herself. When she arrived at the


    lobby, she saw George waiting for her and with him was Holley. She didn''t expect that George would


    bring Holly. Sheryl actually felt ufortable of her presence.


    "Hi, Holley. I didn''t expect to see you here," Sheryl took the initiative to greet Holley.


    "Hello, Sheryl," Holley greeted back. With a smile, she continued,"I felt so happy when George told me


    that you finally agreed to sign the contract, so I begged him to take me to witness this moment. I hope


    you don''t mind."


    "Of course I don''t." The expression on Sheryl''s face was unreadable. She just smiled back at Holley.


    George, who was standing next to Holley, looked at her with a not so pleased expression and said,"I


    wanted you to take more rest but you insisted oning with me. Well, maybe after Sheryl signed the


    contract, you two can go shopping together."


    "You caught me." Holley also took a nce at him. Sheughed and continued with a giggle,"Hurry up.


    Sign the contract now. I couldn''t wait to go shopping with Sheryl."


    "Well, you''re right. Let''s get this done." While saying it, George took out a document and showed it to


    Sheryl. "Sheryl, this contract was well prepared so I hope you wouldn''t find any problems with it. If


    everything''s fine with you, please sign your name on it and we will be officially partners." George


    couldn''t hide the excitement in his voice.


    "Mr. Han," Sheryl said in a soft voice. She didn''t take the contract. Instead, she just smiled and said,"To


    be honest, I have considered it for a really long time. I know I''m fortunate enough to get all my


    conditions satisfied and I shouldn''t ask for more but..."


    "But what?" Geroge interrupted her the moment he sensed a reluctance from her expression. With a


    knitted eyebrows, he said,"Don''t tell me you''ve changed your mind."
