Chapter 842 To Have A Second Child


    Sheryl gave a smile at I and said that she trusted Charles too well to fall a prey to her false rms.


    Then she said, "That day will nevere I. Charles is not that kind of person. I believe in him."


    Sheryl''s confidence in Charles reassured Chris and I. They felt that even if she was taking time, she


    was still on the right track.


    However, they were a little disheartened that theirbined effort to get Sheryl back with Charles had


    failed. Since she was so stubborn, I couldn''t do anything with her, but changed the topic of


    discussion to work. I stared at Sheryl and said, "It''s up to you. Nobody can make a decision for you.


    But Sher, don''t you think that as a boss, you should take more responsibilities in yourpany now?"


    I raised her voice. "Recently, thepany is going through a good phase. Everybody works around


    the clock, including me. I work overtime every night, while you are working at some otherpany and


    that too as an employee! What do you take me for? This is so unfair!"


    I pretended to be angry. "Sheryl, I tell you. If you don''t return to thepany as soon as possible, I


    will quit! I will put it all behind just like you! I have helped you for three years, for which I have even


    postponed my ns to have a second child."


    I continued in the same angry tone, "You are so lucky to have twins, a son and a daughter and that


    too at one go. I really admire you. Though I have Amanda already, I also want to have a son. Aron also


    feels that we should have both son and daughter toplete the family. We want a second child so


    much! So you can imagine how much I have sacrificed for you!"


    "Yes, yes! I know! You have sacrificed and contributed a lot to thepany. Thank you so much! Are


    you satisfied now?" Sheryl joked with her, thinking that I was more eloquent than three years ago.


    She could connect different things together to make up for a reasonable excuse.


    Sheryl took I''s hands and said sincerely, "I know you helped me a lot during my absence. Without


    your efforts, ourpany could not have developed so fast, or even worse it might have closed down


    already. Charles told me that thepany has grown much bigger than before. I will always remember


    your devotion. I can never deny that."


    "Beautiful words don''t work for me." I took a nce at Sheryl. "How are you going to thank me?"


    Sheryl smiled. "Okay. How about this? You tell me what you want."


    I''s eyes went bright. "My daughter Amanda likes your son rk very much. So I think, maybe they


    can make a good couple in the future! Why not we get them married to each other after they grow up?


    How do you think of this idea?"


    "Well..." Sheryl frowned. I''s proposal was eptable for her. However, she could not promise her


    right now because nobody knew what future had in store for them.


    She stared at I and hesitated. "I, I think this is a good idea. Even I like Amanda. But I can''t make


    such an important decision for rk at this moment. Who knows what will happen in the future? So I


    think it''s still too early to arrange a marriage for the kids. As long as they love each other after they


    grow up, I will surely support their marriage!"


    "I''m just joking! Look at your serious face. Ha-ha!" I chuckled. Then she heaved a sigh. "In fact, I just


    want to be rk''s sworn mother. You also know how much I am desperate to have a son. It''s like a


    cherished wish for me that I will have my own son soon."


    "No problem. Of course you can. Do you need my permission for that?" Sheryl agreed to her request


    immediately and smiled with a sigh of relief.


    As thedies continued with their talk, the guests arrived and everybody took their seat. The


    atmosphere was joyful and happy.


    It felt like happy days had returned for the Zhao and Lu families. Charles and Sheryl had gone through


    some of the most roughest patch of their lives. But fortunately everything was getting better slowly.


    They hade together once again. Moreover, they had a pair of lovely kids, which wasforting


    enough for the people who cared about them.


    The thought of all this nearly made Gary cry. As an old man, he was more sentimental than before.


    The ups and downs through these years had taken a toll on his health. He didn''t know how many years


    he had ahead of him. His only hope now was to see Sheryl move back to Dream Garden and the whole


    family live together happily again.


    "Grandpa, are you okay?" Sheryl moved towards Gary and spoke to him with concern. Sheryl kept


    looking at Gary constantly because she was aware of his poor health. Tears in his eyes made her


    worry.


    "I''m fine. Don''t worry," Gary denied, shook his head and smiled in a reassuring manner to Sheryl. It


    was a happy gathering among families and friends. He didn''t want to bother anyone because of his ill


    health. He then assured her, "I just feel a little sleepy since I''m already old. I''m just so happy to see all


    of you together. Don''t worry about me! Go ahead. Help yourself with some food."


    His words reassured Sheryl. She filled a bowl of soup for him and then continued to listen to Charles


    talking with other people.


    The feast continued. Charles was in a good mood and he drunk more wine than usual. Atst, except a


    few gentlemen who were drinking, nearly all of them finished eating. Chris sent Gary home while Abby


    left with Arthur and Amy. I and Sheryl stayed, chatting with each other to their hearts'' content.


    "Sher, I invited you to take a look at ourpanyst time, but you cancelled it because of the kids.


    How about now? You can''t find an excuse to refuse me this time!" Iined to her, "To be


    honest, it''s really busy and hectic in thepany these days. I can''t handle it all by myself anymore.


    Come back soon, okay?"


    "I know it, I." Sheryl nodded. She sighed and continued, "But I signed thebor contract with my


    currentpany. I need to go through procedures if I want to resign. I can''t just leave as per my wish.


    How about this? I''ll go to thepany tomorrow and figure out how much I can contribute at the


    moment. I''ll try my best to help. As for my current job, I''ll find an appropriate time to inform the


    "No problem." I breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Sheryl, "I am relived as long as you promise to


    "But you should also be prepared for the new and uing problems that I will create for you." Sheryl


    smiled and confessed, "I haven''t done the management for three years. There must be a lot of things


    that I will not be familiar with. And surely I''m not as good as three years ago. If I make mistakes, you


    must point it out to me and be prepared to guide me. And also reprimand me if needed."


    "Are you kidding me? You are the boss! Who would dare to reprimand you! Spare me!" I teased and


    pretended to be surprised. Her funny reaction made both of themugh out loud. When they finally


    recovered, I hugged Sheryl and said, "Sher, I''m so happy you are back. I missed you so much!"


    "I know, really," Sheryl replied sincerely. "I will stay here forever. I will never leave my dear ones ever


    again in my life. It''s all past!"


    Sheryl felt so happy and content to have a friend like I and a lover like Charles who both loved her


    and cared about her so much. They were the best gifts that God had given her. What else could she

    ask for? She just could not stop herself from counting her blessings.


    Charles went overboard with wine during the feast. This was the first time that Sheryl had seen him


    drunken. He was no longer the prominent Mr. President who made people to be in owe of him. He was


    like an ordinary young man, who talked a lot and cared about no manners or etiquettes. But this side of


    him was cute and lovely. The more Sheryl watched him to be so casual, her heart melted towards him.


    Then all of them left. Abby returned to pick up Andy, while I drove drunken Aron home. Sam called a


    taxi and took his leave. Sheryl nned to send Charles to Dream Garden. He was so much drunk that


    he needed rest.


    However, when they walked out of the restaurant, Charles recovered like he was totally sober. He


    pleaded Sheryl, "I don''t want to go home now. Stay with me, please. How about taking a walk?"


    "I''m okay if you want," Sheryl agreed. But she kept ncing at Charles, not knowing whether he was


    really sober now or he pretended to be drunken all this while.
