Chapter 1100 Overnight Strolling


    The noise roared in the night as the car drove away without a trace, leaving Sheryl frozen and at a loss


    for what to do.


    Never would she have thought that Charles would leave her alone there like he just did.


    "Charles, you bastard!"


    Distraught, she shouted at nothing as Charles already disappeared a while ago.


    There was no chance of him even hearing her voice. As he drove away and thought about Sheryl''s


    words, he went into a fit of rage.


    Thinking back, he realized that every time they quarreled and he tried to make up for it, there was still


    difference between them.


    Since he couldn''t figure it out, he just tried to let it go. Anyway, since Sheryl could take a taxi to find


    I, she could afford to take a taxi home.


    Dawn had alreadye when Sheryl arrived at Dream Garden. Charles had been waiting for her since


    he returned home, but failed to see her even though he stayed up all night.


    The anxiety started creeping up his spine, and he was about to forget his pride and get up to look for


    Sheryl when she finally showed up. "Where have you been?


    Why are you back sote? I was about to go look for you!" Charlesined in quick session as


    she entered the house.


    It turned out that Sheryl walked back home the whole night by herself. It wasn''t because she couldn''t

    find a taxi, but because she was too tired to say a word or face anyone. Instead, she walked like a


    zombie at midnight on the street.


    Checking the time, she realized that it was time for Shirley and rk to get up. A fresh day had begun,


    and she was going to send the kids to kindergarten.


    Instead of going to her room, Sheryl headed for the bathroom to freshen up as quickly as possible so


    she could see the kids off.


    However, she came out of the room only to find that Charles had been busy with routines that were


    normally part of her own job.


    "Daddy, when did Mommye back yesterday?"


    As soon as rk got out of his room, he asked how his mother was doing.


    "Don''t worry. Daddy went out to look for Mommyst night. I found her quickly and came back with


    her!" Using a sincere voice, he wanted rk to believe him. After all, rk was rather sensitive despite


    his young age, and Charles was afraid that he would strongly ache for his mother.


    "Really? Daddy, where is Mommy now?" he eximed. It was clear what response rk would have


    wanted to hear.


    "Mommy is here."


    As she observed the exchange, she saw that the onlyfort she could be happy about was that


    Charles didn''t talk any nonsense in front of rk.


    As he saw her face, his expression lit up in a blink. "Mommy!" The boy ran to Sheryl and hugged her.


    "rk, you''re such a sweet kid. Go and eat something. We''re going to the kindergartenter," she said


    peacefully. So long as nothing out of the ordinary happened, Sheryl could remain calm. Even Charles


    couldn''t tell what was wrong with her.


    "Okay, Mommy."


    From rk''s good mood, Sheryl felt rather scared. Since she had such a smart son, she didn''t know


    how long she could hide from him if her rtionship with Charles continued to deteriorate.


    Instead of taking care of Sheryl, Charles walked over to Shirley''s side. "Come, let''s go eat, Shirley," he


    gently said to her.


    "Okay,"


    Shirley nodded.


    "rk, Shirley, Daddy will send you to kindergarten, okay?" Charles'' tone was fond as he talked to the


    kids.


    "Daddy, why? What about Mommy?" Shirley inquired. After all, most of the time, it was Sheryl who sent


    them to school.


    It was only when Sheryl wasn''t at home or busy when Charles would take the kids to school.


    "Shirley, Mommy didn''t sleep wellst night and needs some rest now. Daddy should send us."


    With the grace of someone who seemed older, rk exined to his sister before Charles could even


    try.


    "Okay," she nodded with seriousness as she heard this. "Mommy, get some rest now!" she turned to


    Sheryl and said in an adult-like tone.


    "Shirley, good girl. Mommy isn''t sleepy now. I had a good restst night. Which one of us would you


    like to send you to school? If you want Mommy to send you, then I will. Okay?"


    Her eyes fixed on them, Sheryl lowered herself and squatted to look at the kids at eye-level.


    "It''s okay, Mommy. Daddy can send us since he wants to."


    With a cute smile, Shirley continued, "Mommy must be tired since you send us to kindergarten every


    day."


    "Yes, Mommy. You better take some rest right now," rk confirmed. With a steely look, rk fixed his


    eyes on Sheryl, thinking that she hadn''t actually had a good rest sincest night''s outing.


    "Well, since you said all that, I''ll go back and rest. When it''s about time, I''ll just go to work," said Sheryl


    casually. Deeply touched by the two kids, she realized how lucky she was to have such sensible


    children for their age.


    Since he wanted to send them off, she didn''t bother casting a nce in Charles'' direction and just let


    him go. Anyway, he definitely wouldn''t leave the two kids halfway.


    Instead, she just directly went back to her room. It was true that she hadn''t yet rested all night. But


    when the time came, she couldn''t feel the tiredness and sleepiness so much. She didn''t want to bother


    going back to sleep. After all, once she was asleep, it would take her hours before she woke up again.


    Checking the time, she saw she had a few hours left before having to go to work. She thought she


    could use that time to tidy up the loose ends of the Tarsan Corporation''s case. Instead of falling asleep,


    she decided to finish work quickly ande back home to rest afterward.


    With that in mind, Sheryl just went to the office after the other three left.


    There was no one in thepany, so Sheryl went straight to her office and engaged herself in work in


    front of theputer screen.


    By the time the staff arrived, Sheryl had already done about as much work as she could.


    "Sher? Why are you here? Didn''t you go back home with Charles?" I asked. Having thought she


    already went to work pretty early, I didn''t expect to see that Sheryl arrived even earlier than her.


    "I just arrived early in the morning," responded Sheryl calmly. She had no intention of telling I about


    what happened the previous night. After all, if I knew what Charles did to Sheryl, she would definitely


    go and teach him a lesson.


    "Howe you came so early? Didn''t you get to sleep wellst night? Why didn''t you take a break at


    home?"


    Seeing Sheryl totally devoted to her work, I felt concerned for her.


    "I''m fine. I couldn''t fall asleep, so I thought I might as welle here since I had nothing to do at home.


    I wanted to work on Tarsan Corporation''s case in thepany."


    With a few words, Sheryl paltered this.


    "Did you two have another fight when you got homest night?" I inquired. Given Sheryl''s statest


    night, I couldn''t help but feel concerned.


    "No, we were just tired and went to sleep soon after," Sheryl smiled and assured her friend. For some


    reason, she couldn''t bring herself to tell I the truth.


    As she heard Sheryl''s exnation, I felt reassured enough. "How''s the case for Tarsan


    Corporation?" she asked instead of pushing the topic further.


    "I''m almost done. Give me another two hours, and I can finish it."


    Taking a long, deep breath, Sheryl stretched her back.
