Chapter 713 Who Is Your Child''s Father


    "Oh?" Laura eximed. Then she asked again with a smile, "Where is your child''s father?''


    When they heard Laura''s offensive question, both Anthony and Sheryl''s faces hardened. With knitted


    brows, Anthony said to Laura in an upset voice, "What''s wrong with you? How could you ask her such


    a question?"


    "What''s up?" Laura innocently asked. "Can''t I ask her about the child''s father?" Laura smiled ironically


    and said to Anthony bitterly, "I am your mother. Since you have already decided on your own to be with


    this woman, am I not allowed to know what kind of person she is and why she wants to be with you?"


    She stared at Anthony and continued, "What''s more, now that she agrees to be with you, she should


    already prepare herself to meet such kind of question from other people one day. She should also not


    mind it, right?"


    Then she turned to Sheryl''s direction and asked her, "Sheryl, you won''t mind, will you?"


    "No, Aunt Laura, I don''t mind," Sheryl replied helplessly. Sheryl knew inside that Laura was deliberately


    provoking her. After all, Laura didn''t really want her to be with Anthony. Although on the surface Laura


    came here to see her, the fact was, Laura merely wanted to humiliate her to the point that she would


    give up on Anthony.


    As everyone knew, she was a single mother. How could she be worthy of Anthony?


    "Mom..." Anthony furrowed his brows. He didn''t mind Laura''s previous questions. However, this time


    her question was very humiliating. Even a fool would understand her ulterior motive. He narrowed his


    eyes and said, "I don''t think it''s necessary for you to ask such question. I''ve already told you everything


    you want to know before. What do you really want to imply by asking this?"


    "Anthony!" Laura''s face went red and her voice trembled. She nced grimly at Anthony and said


    indignantly, "If you still want me to allow your rtionship with Sheryl, you better shut up your mouth


    from now on."


    "I..." Anthony wanted to say something. However, Sheryl stopped him, "Anthony, it''s okay."


    From the first time she saw Junia, Sheryl already knew that Laura would never agree to her


    rtionship with Anthony. It was obviously not as easy as what Anthony said.


    "Aunt Laura has the right to ask me about this thing. I am fine," Sheryl reassured Anthony in a calm


    voice. What Laura had asked was all from her past. She didn''t consider her past disgraceful so she


    could tell her all about it.


    She knew that Anthony was only worried that she might feel ufortable with Laura''s question.

    However, Laura was right. She had to face such question sooner orter.


    She would even feelpletely strange if Laura didn''t ask her about this matter.


    "But..." Anthony frowned a little and still wanted to stop Laura from continuing her question. Laura


    smiled and interrupted Anthony''s words, "See? Now that she has already agreed, you just sit there


    silently."


    Anthony was left with no choice but to unwillingly sit in silence. He kept on ncing at Sheryl, checking


    if she already felt ufortable.


    "Sheryl, please forgive me for speaking in an inconsiderate manner," Laura said to Sheryl. She heaved


    a sigh before she continued, "After all, Anthony is my son. Although you have been with Anthony for


    quite a long time, I still can''t agree to your rtionship that easy. Anthony has been trying to persuade


    me again and again so I promised him that I would see you. Originally, I have already decided not to


    ept you. You know, our family might not be as noble as the others but we are also an honorable


    family in the world of medicine. We can''t just ept someone easily, let alone a single mother."


    "Mom, it is really too much of you..." Anthony said with knitted brows. He really couldn''t afford to remain


    silent. But Laura just ignored hisint.


    "If not for Anthony''s strong determination to be with you, I wouldn''tpromise toe here and see


    you." Laura heaved a long sigh and continued her words, "But... But I still want to have some words


    with you. I want to know more about you. So I truly hope that you could understand a mother''s feeling."


    "Aunt Laura, don''t worry. I am also a mother so I truly understand your feelings," Sheryl said in a calm


    voice. She had been calm since she came to this private room.


    Even though it was not yet clear whether Laura would agree to her rtionship with Anthony or not,


    she still remained extremely calm.


    "I remembered Anthony telling me before that you already have a daughter before he met you," Laura


    continued.


    "I hope you don''t mind but... may I ask who the child''s father is? Why did he desert you and your


    child?" Laura then tried to exin to Sheryl, "Please don''t misunderstand me. I didn''t ask you this


    question to scare you. I just want to know because if ever you marry Anthony someday, I don''t want


    any problems to arise in case the father of your child shows up. So I hope you can answer my question


    with all honesty."


    Instead of Sheryl, it was Anthony who answered, "Mom, Sheryl knows only a little than I do. If you


    really want to know the truth, it''s me you should ask." Before Sheryl could open her mouth, Anthony


    continued, "I''ve already made a vow that since I chose Sheryl, I will also treat Shirley as my own


    daughter. I will never let anyone hurt them. Not even her biological father. I promise you, her father will


    never disturb us."


    "I am asking Sheryl, not you!" Laura said grumpily. "You can promise? What can you use to make such


    a promise to me?"


    "I..." Anthony was at a loss for words. He suddenly thought of Charles who was still pursuing Sheryl.


    Right, what could he use to make such a promise?


    "Aunt Laura, I am sorry that I couldn''t give you an exact answer about the father of my child because I


    really forgot everything." Sheryl cast a nce at Laura and continued, "I lost all my memories three


    years ago so I really can''t remember who is my daughter''s father. I can''t even remember anything that


    happened three years ago.


    As for your question whether my daughter''s father will show up or not, I also don''t know the answer. I


    honestly haven''t seen him for three years. Since the first day that I lost my memory, it has been


    Anthony who apanied me. That''s why for Shirley and me, Anthony is a very special person."


    ''Even if Anthony will not be my husband, he will still be my closest friend, '' Sheryl thought to


    herself.


    Hearing Sheryl''s words, Anthony smiled delightedly. He felt satisfied that all the efforts he made for


    Sheryl were worthwhile.


    "Oh really?" Laura smiled sarcastically. "Based on your words, do you also think the same way with


    Anthony? Are you also willing to take Anthony as your daughter''s father?"


    Sheryl furrowed her brows slightly and said to Laura, "Aunt Laura, what do you mean by that?"


    "Nothing. I am just curious." Laura intently looked at Sheryl. Sheryl looked pretty and fair. She was also


    always respectful to others. It seemed that she was born in a decent family. She must also be well-


    educated. But what upset Laura was her stubbornness which could also be seen from her eyes.


    Laura had given birth to Anthony so she knew what was best for him. Anthony should find a sensible


    woman. Not someone like Sheryl who was definitely not fit to her son.
