Chapter 654 The Car Broke Down


    "So, whom do you think you are talking with right now? Sheryl or Autumn?" Sheryl asked. Women are


    weird creatures. Sheryl already knew there was no difference between Autumn and herself but she still


    couldn''t help but feel jealous.


    She was deeply moved by Charles'' words but could never take to be just Autumn''s substitute.


    "I think you must have already gotten the answer," Charles answered. Charles'' absurd answer made


    Sheryl feel a little confused.


    "We need to talk, Charles," Sheryl said. Charles nodded and said,"Yes, you''re right. And that is exactly


    the reason why I took you here."


    Sheryl looked at Charles seriously while thinking how to start the conversation.


    After a while, she finally started,"I know you love Autumn very much. I totally understand your agony of


    losing her. But I''m different from her. If you want to be with me so you can make up for your


    shorings on her, I can''t ept that. I will never be anyone''s substitute."


    "Sher!" Charles suddenly gripped her hand. Sheryl didn''t admit that she already knew who she was so


    Charles also didn''t expose her.


    He cast a nce at Sheryl and said,"Whoever you maybe, all I want is you. You don''t have to be


    Autumn''s or anyone else''s substitute."


    Sheryl felt in a mess. He took her to the ce where Autumn went missing three years ago and


    confessed his love for her. Then suddenly he would say that he also loved Sheryl.


    Autumn must feel so sad if she found out that her beloved husband had fallen in love with another


    woman so easily.


    But at present, she was already Sheryl. After knowing Charles'' love for his wife, she felt so uneasy and


    it seemed so hard to ept his love.


    She couldn''t understand why Charles would chose such an inappropriate way to express his feelings.


    "Please agree to be with me," Charles pleaded. His palms began sweating. The one he was asking


    was the woman he loved the most so he couldn''t help but get nervous.


    Sheryl red at Charles and shook her head with a bitter smile. "I''m sorry, Mr. Lu. I have told you


    clearly, I already have a boyfriend. I feel happy andfortable when I am with him because I don''t


    have to worry about being another woman''s substitute. He loves me with all his heart and that is what I


    want." "As for us, we belong to different worlds so could never be together," she added.


    "How can you be so sure that we belong to different worlds without even giving it a try?" Charles asked


    her in agony.


    "The answer is so clear so we don''t really need to try," Sheryl answered sternly and shook his hand off.


    "I can always be myself and I can do anything I like when I am with Anthony because nothing is more


    important in his heart than me. But you are different..." she said and paused for a while. Then she


    added,"You have just told me a while ago that Autumn is the only woman you love, and yet, you are


    also expressing your feelings for me right now. Moreover, if you really love her so much, how do you


    exin your rtionship with Le? Why do you even have a son with her?" Sheryl couldn''t hide the


    bitterness she was feeling anymore.


    She had seen the birthmark in Charlie''s wrist but she had never doubted that he was Le''s son.


    She stared at Charles and asked again,"How can you exin them?"


    She couldn''t help guessing that maybe she left Charles because she couldn''t bear the fact that he


    secretly had a son with another woman.


    "Sher, it was just an ident," Charles tried to exin. He was then rendered speechless. From the


    start, he had already known that Charlie and Le would be an obstacle between Sheryl and him. But


    he just didn''t know how to face it.


    "Actually, Le and I..." Before he could finish his words, Sheryl interrupted him,"Enough! Mr. Lu, you


    don''t have the obligation to exin that to me." Sheryl couldn''t bear to stay here any longer. She really


    wanted to leave as soon as possible. "Anyway, we won''t have anything to do with each other anymore


    from now on." Sheryl then immediately ran out of the warehouse.


    She felt like she would copse anytime if she wouldn''t go out.


    Charles followed her immediately and grabbed her hand. "Listen to me, Sher..." he tried to exin.


    But Sheryl didn''t want to hear anything from him anymore. She pleaded with sad eyes,"Charles, don''t


    say anything more. I beg you."


    Charles didn''t have the heart topel her so he just kept quiet despite his strong desire to rify


    everything to her.


    He looked at Sheryl with resignation and said,"It is cold and windy. Let me take you home."


    They got in the car and set off. However, the car stopped even before they could leave the mountain.


    Sheryl got nervous so she asked Charles,"What happened?"


    "I don''t know. It seems there is something wrong with the car," he answered. "Just stay here. I''ll go out

    and check."


    Charles lifted the car hood and discovered that the problem might be from the water tank.


    Unfortunately, they were in a deste ce. He didn''t know where to ask for help.


    "What''s wrong?" Sheryl asked. She became impatient waiting inside so she decided to get out of the


    car. "There''s a problem with the water tank," he answered.


    "So what should we do now?" she asked with so much concern. She had nevere across such a


    problem.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll call for help." Charles took his cellphone out only to discover that there was no signal in


    the area.


    Sheryl got more worried and couldn''t help but me Charles,"This is all your fault. If you hadn''t taken


    me to such a deste ce, this wouldn''t have happened. How should I go back now?"


    "Take it easy," he consoled. On the other hand, Charles felt happy inside. God was giving him more


    time to spend with Sheryl. "I''ll handle it," he added.


    Charles had been here before and have already checked the neighborhood while looking for Autumn,


    so he was somehow familiar with the ce. He remembered, there was a vige nearby and he could


    go there to ask for help.


    But he didn''t tell Sheryl about it because he wanted to spend longer time with her.


    "What should I do?" she asked desperately. She wasn''t convinced that there was nowork signal so


    she took her own cell phone to personally check. To her dismay, Charles wasn''t lying at all.


    It was already getting dark. Should she stay here with Charles for the whole night? A horrible idea


    came up Sheryl''s mind.
