Chapter 963 We Should Have Another Child
"I know, I know." With a bitter smile, Sheryl told Charles, "I''m not forcing you to forgive him. It''s just… I
wish you would attend their wedding with me."
His serious expression did not falter; it seemed that Charles was still unmoved. Looking at his t
expression, Sheryl felt rather disappointed. Trying to hide her disappointment, she continued, "The
wedding isn''t only Anthony''s. It''s also Sue''s. I really want you toe with me.
You don''t have to forgive him; that isn''t the issue anymore. I just think that… since he has found his
own happiness now, we should just leave the past in the past, shouldn''t we?" Laying a gentle hand on
Charles'' shoulder, Sheryl looked at him pleadingly and affectionately.
Although he still bore a resentful expression on his face, the moment Charles turned to see Sheryl''s
ardent eyes, his stern facade started to crumble a little bit. He just could not resist those bewitching
eyes of hers.
Heaving a sigh, he replied, "Well, it''s not entirely impossible for me to attend the wedding with you. I
have a condition, though."
"What condition?" Whatever it was that Charles demanded, she believed she could fulfill it as long as
he agreed to go to the wedding with her.
With the corners of his mouth curling upwards, Charles leaned in close and whispered a few words into

his lover''s ears. His soft, warm breath caressed her skin, making her ticklish and tingly. Upon hearing
the words, she withdrew immediately, her face as flushed as a rose blossom.
"Shame on you…" she half grumbled, half shouted.
"What''s wrong with it?" Charles lovingly put his arms around Sheryl, bringing her closer to his chest.
"Shirley and rk are growing up so quickly. We should start considering having another child now."
As he spoke, his arms tightened around her a little more forcefully, as he still felt rather yful. "We
should give them a younger brother or sister, don''t you think?"
"But…" Her eyebrows furrowing in hesitation, Sheryl took a moment before finally nodding her head.
Given all that had happened, Shirley and rk never had the chance to grow up in a healthy, perfect
family environment. It had always been a deep regret in Sheryl''s heart. Maybe if she could have
another child, both she and Charles would be able to stay by his or her side as the child grew up.
Perhaps that could somehow make up for the regret they both harbored.
Though a little embarrassed, Sheryl nodded eagerly as Charles looked at her. One arm sliding under
her knees, the other on her shoulders, he swiftly picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
The next morning, Sheryl received a call from Helin who said that there were some problems with the
n and she needed to discuss them with her, inviting Sheryl to her office.
Once Sheryl entered the office, Helin rushed towards her immediately and grabbed her hand. "Sheryl,
you really have to help me this time around…" she said, sounding urgent.
"What happened to you?" The sudden request startled Sheryl and she said to Helin to calm her down,
"Please sit down first, I''ll listen to you."
"I really don''t know who to ask for help now. Sheryl, you''re the only one who can help me." The
expression Helin held was that of panic and uneasiness and she continued exining urgently. "My
birthday is getting really close, so I made a phone call to Roger. I wanted to have a quick chat and see
how I could invite him here, but it was a woman who picked up the phone! After I questioned Roger
several times, he finally told me he has a girlfriend now... Sher, you really have to help me this time."
"But…" With a raised brow, Sheryl gave Helin a questioning look. "How do you think I can help you with
this?"
"You helped Roger a great deal before. He''ll listen to whatever you say." Helin''s hands pressed against
Sheryl''s anxiously.
"Miss He…" Sheryl''s eyebrows creased into a frown as she gently pushed away Helin''s hands and
said, "I''m just an event nner. All I can do for you is n your birthday party…or perhaps even help to
n your proposal. But as for your personal rtionship with Roger…there''s nothing I can do about it.
You''ve always said that Roger is indebted to me, but I really don''t think that''s the case. Roger and I are
really just business partners. You said that Roger listened to me, but that''s just your assumption. I
haven''t met Roger in three years now. Even if I wanted to help you with this, it probably won''t work out.
He may not even listen to me."
As she spoke, she looked at Helin apologetically. "To be honest… I don''t think you and Roger belong
with each other."
"So are you saying that… you won''t help me?" With a sigh, her smile grew ever more mournful.
"It''s not that I don''t want to help you, it''s just that I don''t even know how." Trying for a softer tone, Sheryl
tried to exin to Helin.
"Roger and I… We can''t even be counted as friends. I don''t know why you would think he''d listen to
me. And…now that he already has a girlfriend, it wouldn''t be appropriate for me to intervene in his
personal rtionships. Don''t you think?" With a frown, Sheryl said, "If you truly like him, seeing that
he''s got a girlfriend and is living happily now, shouldn''t you be happy for him too? Love should not be a
selfish thing."
"No, he must be lying to me." Helin wouldn''t stop shaking her head as if she couldn''t ept the fact
that Roger had a girlfriend.
Grabbing Sheryl''s hand tightly again, she continued, "Roger likes me, he really does. How could he fall
in love with someone else in such a short period of time? He must be lying to me because of my
father''s disapproval. He must have found someone to pretend to be his girlfriend just to make me give
up."
"Miss He…" The frown on Sheryl''s face deepened as she looked at Helin. The way she babbled about
these rather unreasonable things was starting to make her seriously worry.
There seemed to be a trace of Le in Helin''s behavior.
They were both so simr, willing to do pretty much anything for the sake of love.
"I feel like I need to give you some advice. There are so many possibilities other than to be together
with Roger. I believe your father has his own reasons why he doesn''t want you to be with him. But
now… Now, since he already has a girlfriend, I think it''s best if you can just let this go." What she said
wasn''t out of spite, but genuinely for Helin''s sake. Knowing Roger for a long time now, even not being
very close to him, Sheryl was sure that he was an ambitious man. If Helin really became his girlfriend,
she would get hurt sooner orter.
Trying to convey these feelings to Helin, Sheryl looked at Helin seriously and said, "You''re such a
talented girl. I''m sure you can definitely find another guy who is more suitable for you in the future."
"Sheryl..." Helin''s smile suddenly turned cold and sharp. "If someone tells you to give up on Mr. Lu,
how would you react?"
Her words made Sheryl wince. How were Roger and Charles simr in any way?
"Roger is just as important to me as Mr. Lu is to you." With a firm tone, Helin looked at Sheryl pointedly.
"I will take no one else but Roger."
With eyes still full of persistence, she continued, "I''ve known Roger for so long now, I know what he''s
like. He must have found someone else to act as his girlfriend on purpose, just to make me angry and
jealous. I have to act quickly. He must be invited to the birthday party no matter what. I will propose
during the party, I will."
"If you have to do it this way, I''ve got nothing else to say." With calm eyes, Sheryl added, "I will try my
best to make the party look as beautiful as possible."
"You really… You really don''t want to help me?" Disappointment was written all over Helin''s face as she
asked.
With a softugh and a rather helpless tone, Sheryl replied, "I''ve said it already. It''s not that I don''t want
to help. It''s really just... I can''t help you regardless of whether or not I wanted to."
