Chapter 1554 Alright, Then


    "Ms. Xia is with the kids on the roof," Phoebe said as she pointed at the roof. Then she bid I farewell


    and continued to do her work.


    Then, I headed to the roof of the building.


    When she got to the roof, I didn''t hear anything or see anyone. She looked around nervously and


    saw that Sheryl and the kids were sleeping on the couch.


    "Sher?" I gently nudged Sheryl and called her name in a low voice, trying to wake her up.


    Sheryl suddenly opened her eyes widely. After she realized that she had fallen asleep on the roof


    because of how tired she was, she felt embarrassed in front of I. She got up slowly without


    disturbing the children and followed I silently. When the kids were out of earshot, she asked, "What


    happened? Have you found an apartment for me?"


    Sheryl knew that I was a person of great efficiency, so she firmly believed that I was capable of


    finding her a good ce in a short amount of time.


    "Yes, I did. You know me. I''m great at what I do. When do you want to check the ce out?" I asked.


    Perhaps it was I''s efficiency that made her want Sheryl to have a look at the apartment as soon as


    possible.


    Sheryl turned back to look at the children, thinking about something. A momentter, she said to I,


    "All right. I''ll leave the children to Phoebe, and then we can go and look at the apartment. I''m going to


    ask Phoebe toe upstairs again, so please watch out for the children until I get back, okay?"


    Sheryl went downstairs in a jiffy.


    Five minutester, Sheryl and Phoebe came upstairs together. She asked Phoebe to take care of the


    kids and then she left thepany with I.


    I was in charge of driving the car, while Sheryl sat next to her. In a pensive mood, she looked at the


    changing scenes outside the car window. She reminisced about the past when Charles would often


    take her out for a drive.


    Slowly, she fell into her own thoughts. ''He liked going out on long drives. He often took me with him.


    That was long time ago. I thought I would forget about it eventually, but I was wrong. I didn''t expect that


    I would remember it all so clearly. Yes, of course. I won''t forget anything about Charles. I won''t.''


    "Sher, are you all right?" I noticed the mncholic mood she was in, so she interrupted Sheryl''s


    thoughts. I pulled the car to the side of the road and looked at her nervously.


    Sheryl realized that she was distracting I with her mood and she felt embarrassed again. "Yes, I''m all


    right. I just want to see my new apartment right now, as soon as possible."


    "Really? You don''t seem all right," I said. She couldn''t believe what Sheryl said because she


    obviously looked sad. I looked at her suspiciously to ensure that she was all right.


    "Yes, I am. What could possibly happen to me? I''m fine, and that''s all," Sheryl said, definitively. Then,


    she asked I to start the car again.


    I sped up after she got back on the road, and before long, they arrived at the apartmentmunity


    in under half an hour. Thismunity was close to Cloud Advertising Company. When I was


    selecting apartments for Sheryl, she looked around the Cloud Advertising Company and chose this


    apartment because it was so close by.


    "Although it''s not a very newmunity, the appliances are brand new. And the security here is also


    known to be good. I checked on that. It''s a very good ce," I exined as she led Sheryl into the


    proud of herself when she showed it to Sheryl.


    Sherylughed when she saw how childish I was when she was bragging about herself.


    Suddenly, I''s face turned. She looked at Sheryl seriously and said, "But, there''s one thing you have


    to promise me first. If you don''t, then I won''t let you buy any apartments."


    Sheryl didn''t expect I to be so serious all of a sudden, so she started to feel confused. She


    looked at I nervously and said, "All right. What do you want me to promise?"


    I said, "Although I''ve found the right ce for you, we don''t know yet if we can buy it or not, not


    mention when you can move in. So, you have to promise me that you will stay at my ce for now


    while you wait for the apartment to be ready..."


    Sheryl interrupted I and said, "No, you don''t need to do this. I''ve already told you that I''ve booked a


    room at the hotel."


    After being interrupted by Sheryl, I interrupted Sheryl again. "No, no, no. We don''t need to discuss it


    anymore. Don''t worry about the hotel room. I''ve already cancelled the reservation. So, you have to stay


    with me today. You can''t refuse me!"


    After hearing I''s words, Sheryl couldn''t say anything. She knew that she couldn''t convince I to


    change her mind, so she could only remain silent. She only hoped that her new apartment would be


    ready for her to move in as soon as possible.


    "Okay, then," Sheryl said as she smiled. Again she found herself amused by I''s childish words.


    After they parked the car, they went upstairs.


    The estate manager was already there waiting for them toe. When he saw I with another


    womaning towards him, he walked over to them and asked I respectfully, "Is this Ms. Xia?"


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Yes, she is," I answered.


    After that, I spoke with the estate manager about the price of the apartment in details. Sheryl,


    however, stayed out of their discussions. Instead, she went around the apartment, carefully checking


    the ce out.


    She realized that I had indeed chosen a good apartment for her. The size of the apartment was


    exactly the one Sheryl wanted and the design of the room was also in ordance to her interest. After


    a short tour of the apartment, Sheryl felt that she was very satisfied.


    "Ms. Xia, how do you feel about this apartment?" the estate manager Angus asked Sheryl after he saw


    hering out of the apartment.


    Sheryl nodded to Angus and said, "It''s good. I like it. When can we sign the contract?"


    Sheryl wanted to buy this apartment as soon as possible. Angus didn''t expect that she would be talking


    about signing the contract so soon after only looking around the apartment once, so he didn''t have a


    quick response for her. Suddenly, I dropped in and said to Sheryl, "What did I say? I told you this


    apartment is very nice."


    Then, Angus said to Sheryl happily and respectfully, "Okay, Ms. Xia. We can sign the contract


    tomorrow. The owner of this apartment is not avable today."


    Aftering to a verbal agreement, Angus happily followed I and Sheryl downstairs and walked


    them to the car.


    After getting into the car, Sheryl felt very relieved, like she had just dealt with a very important issue in


    her life.


    ''This apartment is in a well-developedmunity. It''s in a great location and it is in the downtown


    district. I''m so satisfied with it. Although it is going to cost me 12 million dors, it will be worth it, ''


    Sheryl thought to herself. Apparently, the price was not a big deal for her at all.


    "Sher, how about Ie along with you to sign the contract tomorrow?" I looked at Sheryl and


    asked.


    Sheryl nodded at her and said, "Of course. That''s a good idea." Then, she got down on her knees to do


    something childish too. "Now, I officially invite you toe with me tomorrow to sign the contract.


    Would you like toe with me, Miss Zhao?"


    I also acted formally in ordance to her, as she watched how Sheryl pretended to give her a


    "formal invitation."


    Afterwards, they both burst intoughter. I was amused by Sheryl''s acting. She said teasingly, "What


    are you doing, Sher? Are you trying to be a princess or something? Inviting me to a royal ball?"


    "Shut up! This is serious! How dare you speak to your princess like that?" Sheryl said. Then they


    started to "argue" with each other childishly, like they had forgotten all the things that would make them


    unhappy.


    They pretended to argue for some time as they left that district. Then, when they came back to reality,


    I asked Sheryl how she felt about the apartment.


    Sheryl was immensely satisfied, so she said, "Actually, it''s a really nice apartment. There are four


    rooms, so that each kid can have their own bedroom. And I can see the highest tower of this city from


    my bedroom. So I won''t be feeling lonely when I''m in my bed at night, right?"


    However, I saw through her when she found sadness in Sheryl''s eyes. I said, "That''s great. Good


    to know that you are satisfied with it. It''s gettingte. You should take the kids and have dinner with


    them."


    Sheryl didn''t refuse I''s advice. When I was driving, Sheryl called Phoebe to make sure that the


    kids had woken up. So Sheryl told Phoebe to take the children downstairs to have dinner with them.


    When they arrived at Cloud Advertising Company, they found that Phoebe was already there waiting


    for Sheryl toe.


    "Phoebe, it''s almost dinner time. Come join us," Sheryl said to Phoebe and asked her to get in the car


    together with the children.


    Phoebe hesitated for a moment. Then, Shirley grabbed Phoebe''s hands and urged her in a cute voice,


    "Aunt Phoebe, pleasee with Shirley."


    Phoebeughed after hearing her words. ''It''s a good thing that Ms. Xia gets to spend time with these


    two cute and well-behaved kids every day. She is very lucky to have them, '' Phoebe thought to herself.


    "Come on, Phoebe. Get in the car." I started to convince Phoebe too, leaving her no choice but to go


    with them.
