Chapter 691 Where Is The Child


    Anthony went to Sheryl''s home in the evening. When he saw Charlie there, he already expected that


    Charles would alsoeter. He bought some vegetables from the market because he was nning


    to prepare dinner for Sheryl so he told Nancy to just rest. Then he went to the kitchen and began


    preparing dinner.


    When Anthony was about to put the te of roasted fish on the table, the door suddenly opened. He


    wasn''t surprised to see Charles and Sheryle home together. So, he just casually said,"Oh, you''re


    finally home. I made your favorite dishes. Go wash your hands and let''s have dinner."


    "Why are you here?" Sheryl asked. She was surprised to see Anthony in her home because he didn''t


    inform her.


    "I bought some clothes and fruits for Shirley earlier this afternoon. Mr. Lu''s son is also here, so I


    thought of making dinner for them. But now that you and Mr. Lu are finally here, we can have dinner all


    together," Anthony exined. Then he turned to Charles and said,"Mr. Lu, please stay and have dinner


    with us." Anthony was acting like a host and Charles felt discontented of him. He refused the offer


    coldly,"No, thanks. Charlie and I must go home now."


    "Hold on!" Anthony stopped Charles from leaving. "The dinner is ready. Besides, Sheryl and I have


    already taken you as our friend. It would be our pleasure to have a dinner with you."


    Sheryl looked at Charles and also said,"Yes, that''s right. Just stay and have dinner with us."


    Charles eventually eded. However, he still felt ufortable seeing Anthony acting like the host of


    this family.


    Anthony went to the kitchen while Charles yed with the two children. Suddenly, Shirley called


    out,"Uncle Charles." Shirley also liked Charles the way he liked Charlie. She ran to him, jumped into his


    arms and said,"Charlie told me that you bought a new toy for him. Can I also y with it?


    "Sure!" Charles answered. He then rubbed Shirley''s head happily.


    "I will buy you one if you also like that toy," Anthony said as he came out of the kitchen. He overheard


    Shirley''s request and felt a little jealous seeing Shirley''s fondness to Charles.


    Although he wasn''t Shirley''s father, he treated her as his own. The love and care he gave to Shirley


    was even more than a real father could give to his child.


    On the other hand, Charles who was Shirley''s biological father had never done anything for her.


    That was why Anthony got very ufortable when he saw Shirley so close to Charles.


    "No, Tony," Shirley rejected. "I just want to go to Charlie''s home and y it with him," she added.


    "Okay, you are wee to our home anytime." Charles let out a softugh upon hearing Shirley''s


    reply. He couldn''t hide his amusement. ''My daughter is so considerate, '' he thought.


    ''Anthony must feel defeated by her words.''


    Because of Shirley''s words and Charles'' victoriousugh, Anthony''s face dimmed.


    At the dinner table, Anthony sat beside Sheryl who was just quiet the whole time. While eating, Charles


    turned to Charlie and asked,"Charlie, how about going out to y tomorrow?"


    "Great!" Charlie agreed excitedly. When he looked at Shirley, he also saw the eagerness in her eyes so


    he turned to his father and asked,"Can Shirley join us?"


    "Of course!" Charles replied. Then he turned to Shirley and said with a smile,"Shirley, you can go with


    us if you want to."


    Shirley pped her hands in joy. "Yehey! I can go out and y with Charlie!" Shirley was so excited


    that she hugged Charles.


    "Shirley!" Anthony abruptly called her attention. With an arched brow, he said,"If you want to go out


    tomorrow, I can go with you."


    "No!" Shirley refused. "I want to go with Charlie," she said, looking dejected.


    "Shirley!" Anthony''s face dimmed. He told Shirley in a serious tone,"Don''t be naughty."


    Sheryl noticed that Anthony''s reactions were weird. She glimpsed at him and said,"Just let her go with


    Charlie."


    Sheryl couldn''t see anything wrong with Shirley going out with Charlie. Moreover, she would also be


    with them.


    "How can you allow her to do so?" Anthony got a little annoyed knowing that Sheryl was also against


    him. He arched a brow and said to Sheryl,"Mr. Lu is very busy every day and hardly has time to


    apany his son. I don''t think it''s good that we bother them when they can finally get a chance to


    bond."


    "No, we don''t mind," Charles abruptly answered. Then he cast Anthony a defiant nce.


    Anthony frowned slightly and continued with his standpoint to Sheryl. "I still think that Shirley should go


    with us. Let''s just give Mr. Lu and his son a time of their own. How about going to the amusement park


    tomorrow?" he suggested.


    Sheryl drank a bit of her soup and replied,"We can''t go tomorrow."


    She looked at Anthony and added,"Mr. Lu has scheduled a hiking activity with all the models in his


    She took a nce at Shirley and added,"I will take care of Shirley. Don''t worry."


    "Both you and Shirley will go hiking tomorrow?" Anthony asked in surprise. Anthony obviously felt sad.


    ''Has Sheryl begun dating Charles?'' he wondered.


    "Yes." Sheryl nodded her head. "Other models will also go and it''s okay if Shirley wants to join us,"


    Sheryl added.


    "But..." Anthony hesitated for a moment. Anthony''s expression clearly showed his discontent when he


    continued,"Can you not go hiking?"


    Sheryl looked at Anthony in awe. Anthony suddenly gave her a smile before she could say anything.


    Then he said,"I''m just asking. I didn''t mean anything."


    After that, Anthony lowered his head to focus on his food. However, he was already overwhelmed with


    sadness.


    When they finished eating, Nancy starting clearing the table. Charles stood up and was ready to leave.


    When he noticed that Anthony didn''t have the intention to leave, he offered,"How about leaving


    together, Mr. Xiao?"


    "No, I..." Anthony was about to refuse. However, Sheryl agreed to Charles and interrupted


    him,"Anthony, you can go with Mr. Lu. Please say goodbye to Mr. Lu for me."


    Anthony had no other choice but to follow Sheryl''s advice. Since Charlie was with them, Charles and


    Anthony were silent in the elevator. But, when they got out of the elevator, Charles said to


    Charlie,"Charlie, you get in the car first and I''ll follow you soon."


    Charlie gave Anthony a cold glimpse before he went away. Although Anthony knew that Charlie was


    also Sheryl''s child, he didn''t like him at all.

    When Charlie had left, Charles asked Anthony,"Can we talk now, Anthony?"


    "Do we need to talk?" Anthony asked back. He smiled bitterly and added,"We just talked not too long


    ago, remember?" "Are you going to tell me that you already want to quit?


    Well, if that''s what you want to talk about with me, I''d be happy to listen." Anthony''s tone sounded


    unfriendly.


    "You know that''s impossible. Of course, Sheryl would choose me at the end," Charles said in a defiant


    tone. He looked at Anthony''s eyes and added,"You are the one who should quit. I think you can see


    things clearly, right?"


    "If you don''t want to give up on Sheryl, then I think we have nothing to talk about," Anthony said with a


    reluctant smile and was about to leave.


    "Hold on!" Charles blocked Anthony''s way. "You know that I have another child with Sher. Where is it


    now? Tell me."
