Chapter 961 Some Good News


    After an hour of driving, Charles stopped the car and opened the car door. Then he carried the two kids


    out of the vehicle. Sheryl looked round and found the spot was surrounded by mountains. Although it


    was hot summer, they didn''t feel the heat at all at this ce. On the contrary, they felt extremely


    "Where are we?" Sheryl asked in a curious voice.


    "Thend I bought several years ago," Charles replied in a faint voice. "Ever since I first came here, I


    thought this ce is wonderful and magical. It feels pleasant even in the hot summer because it is


    located in the mountains. It''s a good ce for a summer holiday.


    I was thinking of building a small vi here. When we get older, we can spend our old age here. But I''ve


    been busy nowadays. Work seems to take up all my time. This time… this time Shirley said that she


    wanted to go somewhere. First ce I thought of was here," Charles added.


    "It''s certainly a beautiful ce," Sheryl said with a big smile on her face.


    Then she held the two kids'' hands and took a walk along the banks of theke. At the same time,


    Charles took the barbecue tools out of the car. He busied himself in lighting the fire and grilling the


    meat. Soon he was covered in sweat. But everything he did was just to see the smiles on the face of


    his family—they were the most important ones in his heart.


    "Honey, take a rest. I can handle the grilling. Sit down and get out of the heat," Sheryl suggested. She


    saw Charles sweating and her tone grew worried.


    "No, I can handle it. Take care of the kids. This is what I do," Charles declined, putting on a big smile.


    "Sweat is dripping off you." Sheryl stopped to wipe his face and forehead. Then she stated in a caring


    voice, "How about just resting for a little bit?"


    "Taste it. Is it good?" Charles had roasted a chicken breast. He cut a piece off and raised it to her


    mouth.


    "Yep." She meant it; it was delicious.


    "These are done, I think. The kids must be hungry now. Here, take the te over to them." Charles


    handed the roasted kebabs to Sheryl and changed the subject.


    Sheryl had to take the food to the kids. But she then walked back to Charles and kept himpany.


    She fed Charles kebabs and pieces of fruit from time to time.


    Charles furrowed his brows and said to Sheryl, "It''s too hot here. Why don''t you head over there and


    spend time with the kids?"


    "No," Sheryl said, refusing his suggestion. She smiled and continued, "rk''s with Shirley, so they''re


    okay. I need to stay with you, if you insist on not taking a break."


    Charles nced at Sheryl helplessly and finally said nothing.


    It took them two hours to eat lunch. Charles was so hot that he didn''t have much of an appetite. But the


    two kids were extremely happy. After all, they had always been in the city. And mile-high skyscrapers


    and neon signs are no recement for the beauty of nature. They didn''t get to see this kind of thing


    very often, so they were wide-eyed the whole time.


    On the way back, Sheryl took over the driving duties. She insisted that she drive so Charles could


    finally rest.


    Charles didn''t wake up even when the car arrived at the gate of Dream Garden. Sheryl felt bad that he


    had to work so hard today.


    "Charles, wake up." Sheryl had no other choice but to try to wake him with her voice. "We are home.


    Why not grab a shower and turn in early?" Sheryl said in a gentle voice.


    Sheryl''s words brought Charles back to his senses. Then he went upstairs and took a shower. When

    he came out, he saw Sheryl answering a call with solemn contemtion.


    When Sheryl hung up, he asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "It is Susan. She said that Holley came to her house with a lot of presents. Although she seemed nice,


    I''m afraid she''s up to something," Sheryl replied with furrowed brows. Holley was getting more and


    more deceitful.


    Charles also narrowed his brows after hearing what Sheryl said. He glimpsed at Sheryl and said, "It''s


    Cary''s problem now, isn''t it?"


    Sheryl gave a wry smile and said, "Right, Cary''s protecting Susan now. But Holley… I want to deal with


    her myself."


    "Need any help?" Charles inquired in a faint voice.


    "Nope, I know just how to deal with her," Sheryl replied with a smile. So Charles said nothing else but


    replied, "It''ste. Good night."


    Sheryl kept on dreaming the whole night. Her dreams had to do with Yvonne, and the events of three


    years ago yed out like a movie. When she finally woke up, she was soaked in sweat.


    She then took a shower and found that Charles had already gone to work. After driving the two kids to


    school, she went to work as well.


    She had a basic idea about what Helin asked her to do. So she went to thepany early to detail her


    n. In the afternoon, I invited her out to lunch.


    "Go, go, go. It''s time for lunch." I stood outside Sheryl''s office door and urged her to hurry up.


    "You go first. I''ve got something to finish up here," Sheryl replied, not raising her head.


    She had a brain storm now. So lunch could wait.


    "Come on, I''m starving. And there''s someone waiting for you," I insisted, refusing to give up.


    "I can''t leave now. I have to finish this before I…" Before she finished herint, a familiar voice


    rang in her ears, "Sher,e on. I came all the way here. You gonna make a pregnant woman wait?


    I''m so hungry, I could eat a horse."


    "Sue?" Sheryl immediately stood up, walked over to her and took Sue''s hand. "When did youe


    back? You didn''t even call me up."


    "Oh, my god. I rushed over here as soon as I got back. But you''re so busy. It''s you who don''t have time


    for me." Sue stared at Sheryl, feigning anger.


    "Fine. Let''s head out now," Sheryl replied with a happy expression. She needed to get out anyway. I


    pouted her lips and stated in a sour voice, "So you drop everything for her, but not for your old friend?"


    Sheryl and Sue smiled to each other after hearing I''sint. Sheryl turned around and held I''s


    hand. "You got it wrong. You helped, but she convinced me. I love you both."


    Sue came backst night. In order to go out for lunch with Sheryl, Sue kept badgering Laura and


    promised she woulde back as soon as they were done. So Laura finally agreed to let her eat out.


    She ced an order at a restaurant specializing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. While waiting for the


    meal, Sheryl kept talking with Sue.


    "You are just full of questions." I was taken aback by Sheryl''s nagging. I stared at Sheryl


    helplessly and said, "Take a good look at Sue. You think she has a hard life? Know what I think? I think


    she has some good news."


    After I said this, a big smile appeared on Sue''s face. After a short pause, Sheryl stared at Sue and


    asked in surprise, "So is it true?"
