Chapter 708 Ridiculous


    As soon as she wanted to say something, Anthony, who was standing on the side, opened the door.


    Sheryl was standing at the door. She did not show any surprise or dismay on seeing Anthony in the


    house.


    "Oh, it''s Sheryl. Come in," said Sue immediately putting on a smiling face. Sheryl came in but still stood


    near the door. Sue demanded, "Why have you suddenlye here?"


    Sue and Sheryl were not getting along too well these days. Sue wondered why Sheryl had suddenly


    Anthony was there. She told herself that Sheryl had deliberatelye to confirm herself of his


    presence.


    "Oh… Anthony, you are also here," Sheryl said. Sheryl nced at him indifferently. She spoke in a


    calm voice, as if it were very normal for him to be there.


    As his girlfriend, Sheryl didn''t think about questioning him about this.


    "Come in." Anthony made way to let her in. He asked her, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat


    something if you are hungry? Join us at the table."


    "No, thanks," said Sheryl. She turned to Sue and said, "Yesterday you didn''te to the farm, so Mr.


    Lu asked me to bring you some fresh fruits and vegetables."


    "Really? I can''t believe Mr. Lu would be so considerate as to think about me. Thank him so much on


    my behalf." Sue smiled faintly and said, "Have a seat, Sheryl. My foot was injured, so I can''t move


    around too much to fetch some refreshments for you. Please feel at home."


    Sue mentioned her foot deliberately so that Sheryl would notice it. On seeing her swollen ankle, Sheryl

    frowned a bit and said, "No wonder you didn''te to the farm. How did you sprain your foot so badly?


    It looks serious."


    "It''s all right now." Sue smiled as she talked to her, "My doctor said that it''s not a big deal. If I rest for


    two more days I will recover and be fine."


    "That''s good to know." Sheryl nodded slightly. Seeing that they were eating, she said, "Well then, I


    should go now. I do not want to interrupt your meal."


    "Sheryl…" On seeing Anthony just standing there and saying nothing, Sue said to Sheryl, "Anthony


    came over because my foot was injured. He was afraid that I wouldn''t be able to take care of myself…"


    "It''s OK. I can rest peacefully knowing that he is here to take care of you. Please continue with your


    meal. I''m leaving." Sheryl smiled.


    Sheryl didn''t know her own mind. Before she came here, she had thought that she would ask Anthony


    what he had in mind about their rtionship.


    However, on reaching Sue''s house, she saw them sitting at the same table and having a meal just like


    husband and wife. Suddenly she found herself a fifth wheel in their presence. She just wanted to leave


    quickly from Sue''s house as it made her feel depressed.


    "Sheryl! Stop and listen to me. Sheryl!" Sue tried to stop her and exin things to her. However, the


    more Sue asked Sheryl to stop, the faster she walked away.


    Sue stared at Anthony and said, "Why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and chase her. Exin


    everything to her."


    Anthony hesitated for a long time. Finally, he ran behind Sheryl and caught up with her. He grabbed her


    wrist and asked, "Are you angry?"


    "Why should I be angry?" Sheryl asked scornfully. She said, "What are you doing here? Why don''t you


    go back quickly and take care of her?"


    "Sher…" He took Sheryl''s hand and said, "I know you are unhappy about this. But as you could see,


    her foot was hurt, so I…"


    "So you came to her house to live with her and take care of her. She is an unmarried woman. Anthony,


    have you ever considered that you have a girlfriend? What would Sue think?"


    "I know that, I know," Anthony said with a frown, "I knew you would misunderstand the whole situation if


    you got to know this. That is why I did not mention anything to you. I didn''t expect that you woulde


    to know about this in this way."


    "You mean if I hadn''te over, you never would have told me about this?" Sheryl sneered.


    "I didn''t mean that," said Anthony, "I just wanted to tell youter."


    "Sher," he took her hand again and said, "you and Sue are not getting along these days. I was afraid


    that you would never let me take care of her if you knew about it. I didn''t want you to be angry."


    "So, it turns out that deep in your heart, you think of me as an inconsiderate and selfish woman." Sheryl


    smiled bitterly at him. "Anthony, can you see that we have been drifting apart gradually? I think we


    need to take a step back and see if it is necessary for us to be together."


    "Sher, what do you mean?" When he heard what Sheryl said, his sad face suddenly changed. He held


    her tightly by the wrist and demanded, "What did you say? What do you mean by that?"


    "You know very well what it exactly is," Sheryl said scornfully. "Since I got back here, I have felt that we


    are going in different directions and I am losing you gradually. I don''t know what you want me to do or


    how to do it. I don''t know if we can get along as before. I am really confused. I don''t know how to


    handle our rtionship. I''m so sorry, Anthony. I think I need some time and space. Let me think about


    it."


    "I am really sorry," she added faintly. Sheryl nced at him. Even when she was torn by conflicting


    thoughts, she never showed any hint of it on her face. So from Anthony''s point of view, she was rather


    indifferent — what happened didn''t make any difference to her.


    From her point of view, too many things had happened in recent days, and she sporadically recalled


    the past. The recalling of what she had been through sometimes made her breathless. She thought


    that she needed some time to figure out what to do.


    After she had said this, she turned and wanted to go back to her house. Anthony suddenly shouted in


    her direction, "Do you mean to say that you wish to break up with me?"


    Sheryl was in a daze. What did he say? Break up? She had never thought about that. She only thought


    that her life was in a mess recently, so she needed some time to sort it out.


    She turned back to look at him and asked, "What do you mean?"


    "Isn''t it what you want?" Anthony mocked, "You said all that just because you wanted to break up with


    me, didn''t you?"


    He sneered and talked to her, "Sheryl, I came here just to look after Sue. You can''t make such a big


    fuss over it."


    "Don''t you understand why I was so mad at you?" Sheryl smiled bitterly. Anthony haDn''t been like this


    earlier. But obviously he had changed a lot now. She talked to him, "I am your girlfriend, so I have the


    right to know what happens. At least you could tell me what you were nning to do."


    Anthony sneered, "Sheryl, before you reproach me, you should remind yourself of your own earlier


    actions. When you and Shirley went to live in Charles'' house, did you even remember that you have a


    boyfriend and that you were answerable to him? Did you ever think about me then? Don''t you think it is


    ridiculous to question me about this now? You have behaved in worse ways than I."
