Chapter 1329 Ended Up With Nothing Definite


    "Sher, please calm down first and listen to me. I understand your feelings and I surely don''t want Le


    to stay." Charles'' heart was broken when he noticed the tears rolling from Sheryl''s eyes. He gently


    kissed her forehead and held her tightly in his arms, anticipating her possible struggle to push him


    away.


    Charles was overwhelmed by mixed feelings. He felt sorry and regretful that he couldn''t protect Sheryl


    from all this sadness. He wished there was a way for him to keep her happy all the time. There would


    be no better feeling than to see Sheryl with her bright smile.


    "I didn''t expect Mom would ask Le to stay. When she initially brought this up to me at the hospital, I


    rejected her. But you know what kind of person my mom is. She won''t stop until she gets what she


    wants. I was afraid that she wouldn''t let it go and cause you trouble, so I made apromise and


    agreed."


    What Charles said didn''tfort Sheryl at all. All of a sudden, grievance and anger rushed over her,


    like rising tide. Sheryl remembered how she wasughed at and wronged by Le, and the


    he looked at her like it was all her fault. The shback of sad memories flooded like a never ending


    movie.


    Deep down, Sheryl really wanted to asked Charles how long she had to put up with it. Did she have to


    sacrifice herself and makepromise all the time when it came to Melissa''s decision?


    Sheryl''s face was pale and she was shaking out of anger. She had enough of this. She could feel her


    chest tightened as the pain crushed her heart. Tears continued to stream down her cheeks as she cried


    harder.


    "Charles, this is enough!" Sheryl finally eximed, breaking away from Charles'' embrace. "I can''t stay


    in this house any more, not for another second. If you let Le move in and stay, then I will pack my


    luggage and leave immediately. I don''t think I have a ce in this house anyway."


    Sheryl clenched her fists, her fingertips almost piercing her palm. She was still crying but she looked


    determined, which freaked Charles out. He worried that Sheryl had already made up her mind and


    would really leave him without hesitation.


    Charles reached out to wipe the tears off Sheryl''s face. Each teardrop was like a shiny diamond that


    tore his heart into pieces. It was like a silent rain that showered his heart endlessly, drowning him in


    sorrow.


    He couldn''t put up with this anymore. Seeing Sheryl in this condition was torture. He pulled her back


    into his arms and held her tightly.


    Sheryl''s tears welled up endlessly, each drop cutting through Charles'' chest like a dagger. He felt


    empty inside. And only Sheryl could fill this emptiness. He needed to have her in his arms right now, as


    much as she needed him.


    Sheryl struggled hard, trying to pull herself out of Charles'' embrace. But no matter how hard she tried,


    she just couldn''t break away. Sheryl was fuming and touched at the same time. And what was worse


    was that she realized how much she wanted to be inside his arms. She hated her weakness. And she


    hated herself for wishing that time would stop at this moment.


    Sheryl punched Charles'' chest with her fists, releasing her sadness and rage. She bit his clothes in


    between sobs.


    Soon, Charles'' clothes was all soaked in tears. But more than his wet clothes, Sheryl''s teardrops had


    torn his heart into pieces.

    All Charles could think about right now was some bad jokes. He hoped that throwing one out of the


    blue could stop the woman in his arms from crying.


    "Charles, let me go. I don''t want to stay in this house anymore," Sheryl murmured. Her voice was low


    and she sounded desperate.


    Listening to Sheryl, Charles was filled with regrets and anxiety. A few secondster, he started to kiss


    Sheryl restlessly on her forehead, down to her eyes andstly her lips. His kisses were so enthusiastic


    that they almost melted Sheryl down.


    "Sheryl, do you really think I can let you go? How am I supposed to live without you? You are the


    woman I want to spend the rest of my life with and nobody can change that. I won''t let you leave me,"


    Charles whispered in her ears.


    He then leaned his head against Sheryl''s shoulders, reluctant to let her go. Acting like a bear, he


    showed her his belly, the most vulnerable part of himself. Then acting like a spoiled child, he snuggled


    up against her. People who didn''t know they had a fight would think they were showing affection.


    At this moment, Charles no longer cared about his image. He would do anything in order to make


    Sheryl stay, even if he had to beg and roll on the floor.


    Sheryl burst intoughter. But she reacted soon and held back her smile.


    For some reason, Sheryl now felt her sadness and anger vanish. Her heart suddenly felt lighter and


    more rxed.


    Sheryl knew that she couldn''t get rid of this big boy, so she indulged herself in his arms, attempting to


    avoid his gaze. She didn''t want him to see her red eyes.


    Charles felt relieved when he heard Sheryl giggle. At least now he was sure that her anger subsided.


    "I mean it, Sher. I can''t live without you."


    Charles choked between sobs. His heavy nasal showed his fear. He couldn''t imagine what it would be


    like to lose Sheryl. Just the thought of it made him crazy. He would probably lose control. His love for


    her came from an unknown source but yet it grew deeper each day.


    Charles'' statement made Sheryl speechless. What he said didn''t only give her courage but also made


    her feel hopeful.


    They stayed still for a while, savoring that moment. Then Sheryl pulled herself from Charles'' arms.


    Lifting her head, she looked Charles in the eye and asked him, word by word, "But what about Le?


    And what about our problems? Even if you manage to make me stay, those problems will stay. We


    can''t ignore them forever and pretend they don''t exist. We have to address them, don''t we?"


    "Sher, I don''t mean to let Le stay. I initially agree just tofort Mom. After all, she still holds a


    grudge against you because of the ident. I figure that if I agree to let Le stay, I can return her the


    favor so she won''t have any excuses to make things hard for you anymore,"


    Charles exined sincerely. He believed that Sheryl was smart enough to understand him.


    He knew that it was a bit unfair on her part. So he swore to himself that he would make it up to Sheryl


    one day.


    Listening to Charles now, Sheryl understood that there was no better options. She had no other choice


    but to agree.


    "Sheryl, believe me. I won''t let you down any more. I promise. Together we can get through this."


    Charles said affectionately as he looked Sheryl in the eye.
