Chapter 739 The Phone Was Finally Answered


    "Because I have done something that she would never forgive." Anthony smiled bitterly and shook his


    head. He did not expect Sheryl to forgive something as unforgivable as this. He even thought that he


    deserved her hatred. He couldn''t help thinking that his rtionship with Sheryl waspletely and


    finally finished.


    "Anthony, what have you…" Sue thought awhile and started to ask Anthony what he had done to


    Sheryl. But she was interrupted by him even as she started talking.


    Anthony put down his ss and looked sideways at her. "Don''t ask me about that. I will never tell you


    what happened. Please don''t even mention this again and I will be very thankful to you for your


    consideration."


    How could Anthony tell her what happened? He was too ashamed about his behavior.


    As he showed no willingness to talk on that subject, she relented, "Fine! If that is your wish, I won''t ask


    you about this anymore. Let''s have a drink."


    Each lost in their ownplex thoughts, they finished the bottle of wine very quickly.


    Sue was still sober, but Anthony was not.


    Before he came, he had been drinking a lot. He was also in a bad mood, because there was too much


    on his mind these days. He was pessimistic about the future of his rtionship with Sheryl. He had


    been so upset that he drank faster and much more than Sue did. Thus he soon fell unconscious.


    Sue stood up and walked to her wardrobe to fetch a quilt for him. She covered Anthony with the warm


    quilt to prevent him from catching a cold. She smoothed the quilt softly over him just as she wanted to


    soothe his knitted eyebrows and confused heart. As she was about to leave, Anthony clutched her


    hand and begged her to stay with him.


    There was a dim light in the room. She could clearly see the pleading look in his eyes. How could she


    refuse him when he was looking so sad and vulnerable? She was struggling with her conscience. She


    hesitated and then said to him in a soft voice, "Anthony, you are drunk. You don''t know what you are


    doing. You will be regret it tomorrow."


    "I am not drunk." said Anthony unhappily, "Why do you all think I am drunk? I am not drunk, definitely


    not! I desperately want to get drunk, but I can''t."


    Anthony murmured, "Why don''t you just let me get drunk? All my troubles end when I get drunk."


    Sue felt her heart ache when she saw Anthony''s pain. She hesitated for a while. At the end she


    couldn''t resist her feelings for him, and she sat down next to him. He tightly grasped her hand so she


    could feel his desire to be with her that night. She nodded gently and said, "Okay, I will be here with


    you."


    Only then did Anthony''s face show a satisfied smile. The next second, he took her into his arms.


    Sue was quite taken aback by this. Although the sofa was quite roomy, it still seemed too small to


    amodate two people. Anthony hugged her tightly in his arms as if she could help him get away


    from what had upset him so much. His breath tickled the back of her neck and left her hypnotized.


    But the next second, a thought hit her and she struggled to free herself.


    She was not sure who Anthony had taken her for. ''Does he recognize who I am?'' she couldn''t help but


    think. She only knew that he was drunk. She could not use this chance to be with him by pretending


    she was Sheryl.


    "Anthony, let me go. We can''t do this," said Sue as she struggled out of his arms.


    But Anthony didn''t allow her to wriggle free. He still held her tightly in his warm arms and said to her,


    "Can you be honest with me? Don''t you like me? Then why do you want me to let you go?"


    "Are you out of your mind, Anthony?" said Sue with a frown. Since she was being hugged from behind,


    she couldn''t see his expression. This made her anxious. She said to him in desperation, "Do you really


    know who I am?"


    "Of course I know who you are," said Anthony. "You are Sue. I am sure."


    She became speechless with astonishment. She had not expected him to say this. He knew that she


    was Sue, not Sheryl. He also consciously realized that the one he was holding was Sue, not Sheryl.


    As she stopped struggling, Anthony started to kiss her neck and her back. She turned around in his


    arms to face him and asked him seriously, "Anthony, I''ll ask you again for thest time. Are you sure


    you want to do this? Are you sure you will not regret itter."


    Anthony looked at her for a while. He was hesitating. The truth was that he still did not understand why


    he hade to her house. Maybe because his self-esteem and confidence had taken a hit Sheryl''s


    house, he hade to Sue to get his confidence back. He knew that Sue loved him.


    When she saw him hesitating, Sue couldn''t helpughing bitterly. She knew him so well. How could she


    have had any expectations from him? But when she was ready to move away, Anthony pulled her back


    and asked, "Sue, are you not willing to spend tonight with me?"


    His words cast a magic spell over her. She threw away all her apprehensions and expressed her


    consent with action, not words.


    She kissed him tenderly on his lips. God alone knew how long she had waited for this kiss.


    He passionately kissed her face and her lips and made her gasp. She felt an electric shock going


    through her whole body.


    Anthony too got very excited. He slid his hand inside her halter top to touch her breast. The next


    second, he picked her up and walked into the bedroom.


    Outside the window, the night was dark and cold.


    While inside, the young lovers were full of passion and enjoying their wonderful night.


    Anthony leaned back on the bedrest to smoke after their love-making. Slowly, he sobered up. He was


    staring at Sue who was now asleep. To his surprise, he was unexpectedly calm.


    He thought he would regret his loss of control, but in fact, he didn''t.


    Deep in his heart, he had always known that Sheryl would never be his. Maybe that was why he was


    so calm. But it was not fair to Sue after all.


    Probably awakened by the smell of smoke, Sue turned around to face him and pulled the quilt up to


    cover her breasts. Then she snuggled into his arms. With a satiated sigh, she whispered in a husky


    voice, "Aren''t you tired? Why don''t you sleep for a while?"


    Anthony pinched out the cigarette in his hand and hugged her. His eyes were empty. He said, "It''s OK.


    I''m not too tired."


    Shey contentedly in his arms, smiling. Her wish hade true.


    Men distinguish sex and love very clearly. They know the difference between emotion and sexual


    desires.


    But women are a different species.


    Whether she likes the man or not, a woman''s perspective about the man changes once she sleeps with


    him.


    Sue liked him very much, and now they just had sex. He was definitely very special to her.


    ying with her hair, Anthony asked, "Do you regret it?"


    "No, I don''t." She shook her head. On hearing this question, she raised her head doubtfully and looked


    at the him. She asked, "Do you regret it?"


    "No, I don''t and I mean it," said Anthony with his head shaking, too. But he still seemed hesitant. He


    added, "But as you know, I have not officially broken up with Sheryl. I''m afraid that it is not fair to you. I


    don''t want you to be unhappy."


    "It''s fine. I knew what I was getting into. I just followed my heart," she answered with a bitter smile on


    her face. She had always known him as Sheryl''s boyfriend. Moreover, Sheryl used to be her friend!


    "I always believe in the saying ''love wille with time''. As long as you promise to stay away from


    Sheryl, I trust and know that you will fall in love with me," she tried to convince him.


    "I hope so," said Anthony, but his voice reflected his doubt. He didn''t say a word after that and


    eventually drifted off to sleep.


    Anthony woke up the next morning to the sound of the telephone ringing. It was a call from Andy. As


    soon as he answered the phone, he heard Andy''s impatient voice. "Thank God, you finally answered


    the phone."


    "What happened?" he asked. Sue, who was lying in his arms, turned over in her sleep. He took the


    opportunity to extricate his arms from around her.


    "I have been trying to reach you for a long time.Why did you not answer your phone?" Andy


    questioned. He continued anxiously, "Do you know that Sheryl''s memory hase back?"


    "What? I didn''t know that!" Anthony was now fully awake and instantly alert. He noticed that Sue was


    restless and disturbed by his call. He got out of bed and put on his clothes. He then went to the living


    room to continue the conversation. "When did this happen?"


    "It''s been several days," said Andy. He frowned and added, "I called you several times and you never

    answered. I was so anxious. The other day she came to ask me about her child''s whereabouts. Now


    my wife knows the deal between us. She kept pushing me to reveal the child''s whereabouts to her but I


    never told her a word. Now, we can''t keep this secret forever. It will finallye to light."


    Andy sighed and said, "I am not breaking my promise. I''m calling you today to inform you that my wife


    is now aware of our secrets. I''m not sure how long I can hide it from everyone. If the secret gets


    exposed one day, please don''t me me."
