Chapter 962 Letting Go


    Sue lowered her head shyly as she exined, "Actually, aside from having dinner with you, I came


    here today to give you this."


    She took out a wedding invitation card and handed it to Sheryl. "Anthony and I are getting married, and


    our wedding date has been decided. It will be next month. I hope that you will be there."


    "You''re getting married next month? Isn''t it too soon? I can''t believe it!" eximed Sheryl. The news


    came as a little overwhelming.


    Sue smiled faintly and said, "When I went back to M City to visit Anthony''s grandparents and his other


    rtives, we decided to get married. They were happy about it and started to help us go through all the


    preparations. As you know, my belly is bulging because the baby in my womb grows each day.


    Anthony''s mother was worried that it would be an inconvenience for a pregnant woman like me to hold


    the weddingter. So we decided to schedule it next month."


    She stopped and looked at Sheryl to check how she was taking it. "I know it seems so soon, but the


    good news is that I don''t need to worry about the arrangements for the wedding. Anthony''s family has


    already taken care of all the preliminary work and even the small details."


    Sheryl nodded slightly. Seeing the heartfelt smile on Sue''s face, she could feel happiness emanating


    from her. She was pleased and relieved at the same time.


    "Sue, I am really happy for you. I would definitely give you a big gift on your wedding day," she advised


    sincerely.


    "Any gift will be okay. Your presence will be more important," Sue responded. "I also hope that you can


    Sue felt a little worried about her request. She could not help but query with a concerned tone, "Sher, I


    know there have been some misunderstandings between Charles and Anthony. I know that he may still


    have some grudges against him. But now that we''re getting married, would you..."


    "Don''t worry about it," Sheryl interrupted. "I would discuss it with Charles." Herforting tone made


    Sue felt better. Just then, the waiter came to serve their meal, so they stopped talking. After the dinner


    was served, Sheryl started to discuss how Sue should eat more to ensure the good development of the


    baby inside her womb. What was more, she expressed how happy she was that she finally found


    someone who would take care of Sue and her baby. It was a great meal.


    When they finished, I went straight back to the office. Meanwhile, Sheryl insisted on sending Sue


    back since she wanted to make sure she would get home safe and sound. She had no way to refuse


    Sheryl''s kindness, so she epted.


    After getting in the car, Sheryl asked Sue, "Mimi, I have been inquiring about the whereabouts of your


    mother and brother these past few days, but there is no news at all. I am worried that they will still


    "I know." Sue seemed to have thought about the same before. She nodded with a bitter smile, unable


    to keep herments to herself, "They are like ravenous wolves. They will surely w at me to gain


    more benefits once they know that I am to marry Anthony. They wouldn''t just sit back to watch me have


    a good life."


    "So, what are you going to do?" Sheryl asked with a frown. "You are currently pregnant. If they find you


    and approach you at this time, would it have any negative impact on you and your marriage?"


    "It is okay. I won''t allow that to happen." Sue tried her best to put Sheryl at ease. "I mostly stay at


    Anthony''s house. I hardly go out so it will not be easy for them to find me. Besides, I will take good care


    of myself. Also, you can be rest assured that Anthony and his mother will take care of me."


    "Well, you are right." Sheryl nodded in agreement. She felt less anxious now. "All you have to do now is


    to be a beautiful bride on your wedding day and give birth to a healthy and lovely baby."


    She then muttered to herself, "I wonder whether it''s going to be a boy or a girl, so that I could prepare


    an appropriate gift for the baby."


    Hearing this, Sueughed, "Take your time. You can wait till the baby is born. The expected date of


    confinement is not until next year. There will still be plenty of time for you to prepare the gift."


    "Maybe you''re right, but I just want to know what the best gift for the baby is," exined Sheryl. They


    continued to talk on the matters that needed attention about Sue''s pregnancy on their way to Anthony''s


    house. "Alright, here you are." Sheryl finally pulled a stop in front of the house.


    "I would''ve loved to invite you inside so we can chat more, but I know that you have to go back to the


    office for work," Sue stated. Unfastening her seat belt, she looked at Sheryl. "Sher, if you have time, do


    "Okay, I will," Sheryl confirmed. "It''s been a while since you went out. You better get inside and take a


    good rest. I''ll wait here till you get in." "You''re so sweet. See you then, Sher."


    Sue opened the car door, waved at Sher and walked into the house. Sheryl went back to the office


    afterwards. She was busy with the program for Helin all afternoon, and barely finished the scheme


    before it was time for her to get off work. She returned home as soon as she had it submitted to Helin.


    Charles had not arrived yet when she got home. The two children, on the other hand, had already been


    brought back from school by Nancy. Sheryl then set off to the kitchen to cook dinner herself. As soon


    as she finished, Charles arrived.


    "That smells so tasty. Wow, I bet we will have a great meal!" Charles called out as he entered the room.


    He saw Sheryl in the kitchen still busy cooking dinner, while some of the cooked dishes were already


    on the table. He could guess she had made them all by herself. He felt happy and asked her in a


    teasing way, "What''s the asion? Did you cook all of these by yourself?"


    "Nothing special. I would love to cook at any day as long as I am free," she answered with a warm


    smile. She brought out the crucian carp soup and put it on the table. "Go wash your hands. We''ll have

    dinner soon."


    "Okay." Charles also took the two children to wash their hands. Then they all sat down at the table and


    started to enjoy the meal. They liked the dishes very much and finished all of them.


    After dinner, Charles went upstairs to deal with some business stuff, while Sheryl yed with the


    children for a while. When the children finally went to bed, she decided to make a ss of milk and


    brought it to Charles. She slightly knocked on the door of the study room before she walked in.


    "It''ste. Aren''t you done yet?" she asked as she handed him the ss of milk. It was indeed getting


    "I''m almost done," he answered. He took a sip of the milk and raised his head slightly to meet her gaze.


    Standing beside him, she thought of telling him about Sue''s wedding invitation, but she wasn''t sure


    how to say it. She was afraid he would not be d to hear about it.


    Charles, meanwhile, could see that Sheryl had something on her mind, so he stopped his work, took


    her hand and asked gently, "What''s the matter? Is there anything wrong? It''s okay to tell me."


    Sheryl gave out a smile. "Nothing important, it is just...just..."


    She hesitated for a long while. As sheposed her sentences on her mind, she took a deep breath


    and finally announced, "Well, it''s like this. Sue came to find me today. We had dinner together. She told


    me that she and Anthony decided that they would be getting married next month."


    "Really? Congrattions to them." Charles looked displeased when he heard Sheryl mention Anthony.


    He stared at her and asked coldly, "But what does that have to do with us?"


    "Charles, they are getting married, don''t you think..." Sheryl knew that Charles had some negative


    opinions about Anthony, but it was all over. It was a matter in the past so he should have let go of it by


    now. Besides, Sue was her best friend. Now that Sue and Anthony were about to get married. There


    was nothing he could not let go.


    She held Charles'' hand and hoped he would listen to her. "I understand that you don''t like Anthony, but


    he is going to get married with Sue, and Sue is my best friend. So I would like you…"


    "What would you like me to do?" He looked sullen as he went on, "Sher, I know how deep your


    friendship with Sue is. I know that she is your bestie. I am not asking you to end your friendship with


    her, but I just don''t trust Anthony. I will never forgive him." He paused as if he got reminded of


    something, then he continued speaking. "If it weren''t for him, we would not have been separated for a


    long time. I held him responsible for everything. Now you want me to just forgive him. Do you think it''s


    workable? Do you really think I can do that? Do you know what I have been through these past three


    years? Do you know how miserable I felt without you by my side?"
