Chapter 1637 Lewis'' Visit To Sheryl''s Office


    "You didn''t see the look on that woman''s face, Le. Charles is still her husband but I guess he can''t do


    anything about her now. I can''t believe he could stand her before! She''s so shameless! Doesn''t she


    know how to behave properly?" Melissa was fuming—her lips were quivering in anger.


    Le rubbed her back to help her rx. She didn''t expect Melissa to get this angry, and she couldn''t


    help but worry about Melissa''s health.


    "Please, calm down, Aunt Melissa. When you get mad, she''s just winning. Don''t worry about her. She''s


    digging a hole for herself. Charles is going to leave her as soon as he wakes up. You''ll never have to


    see her then. So don''t get all worked up now. It''s not good for your health either." Le knew very well


    how to handle Melissa. After she spoke, Melissa eventually calmed down. Melissa nodded her head in


    agreement. She actually wanted Lewis to keep on pursuing Sheryl so that she could finally leave


    Charles alone.


    "You''re right, Le. I got caught up in the moment. I shouldn''t care about her. It was stupid of me!"


    Melissa lightly pped herself as if she was frustrated. She shouldn''t have gotten mad and she knew


    that.


    "Forgive me if I''m being too invasive, Aunt Melissa. But do you still see Sheryl as your daughter-inw?


    Because if not, you wouldn''t get mad, even if you saw her with another man," Le said cautiously. She


    looked away when she had finished speaking as if she was afraid that Melissa would get mad at her.


    "How could that be? Le, please, don''t think that way. To be honest, I''ve never treated her as my


    daughter-inw. Isn''t it obvious? If it wasn''t for Charles, I would have kicked her out of Dream Garden


    long ago!" Melissa raised her voice. She could tell that Le was jealous and she needed to make her


    feel better.


    "Please, don''t get mad at me, Aunt Melissa. I didn''t mean anything by that. I was just curious. Please,


    forgive me." Melissa had instantly appeased Le''s worries as she could tell that Melissa was telling


    the truth.


    Le knew she would be able to get rid of Sheryl with Melissa''s support, so she began dreaming of her


    future with Charles.


    ''Sheryl, watch and see. You''ll regret starting a fight with me in the first ce. I will teach you defeat


    against a deadly enemy. Charles will be mine!'' Le swore to herself. She turned to Melissa and


    smiled. Then they held hands as they turned to go back inside the hospital.


    They both agreed that Sheryl was an annoyance that they needed to get rid of soon.


    After what happened at the hospital, Sheryl headed straight home.


    For a good hour, she just sat on the sofa, immobile. She still couldn''t believe that Lewis had just


    confessed to her like that. Still in shock, she wondered what she did to suddenly make him that


    desperate.


    She thought she had made it clear to him that they''d never be together because she loved Charles and


    that was it. She thought Lewis understood her, so she couldn''t understand why he wouldn''t just move


    on.


    As much as Sheryl wanted to believe that Lewis would just leave her alone and move on, that wasn''t


    reality. The reality was Lewis not taking no for an answer as he followed her around everywhere she


    went. Even as Sheryl went to the hospital to visit Charles, Lewis would be there too, proiming his


    love for her. If anything, he was persistent as he tried to get Sheryl to go out with him.


    Sheryl was losing her mind. No matter how many times she refused Lewis or how cruel she''d be to


    him, Lewis would juste running right back to her.


    Since no matter what she did, it seemed as if he didn''t listen to her; she had no choice, but to secretly


    go to the hospital, so she could check on Charles. This was the only way she could visit Charles, and


    at the same time, avoid both Melissa and Lewis. Sometimes, she thought that it was like she had to


    constantly bnce having a tiger ready to pounce at her from behind; and a wolf ready to attack her


    from the front.


    "Sher, hurry. I saw Mr. Xu just leaving, so this is your only opening," Cassie urged when she returned to


    the room. She went outside to check if Lewis was there. Thanks to Cassie, Sheryl was able to slip in


    and out of the hospital unnoticed, and at the same time, she was able to spend time with Charles.


    "Okay, I''m leaving. Thank you, Cassie! Please, keep an eye on Charles for me. Call me if anything


    happens!" Then just like that, Sheryl was gone. Sheryl felt like she was being stalked. She ran to her


    car as fast as she could, afraid that Lewis might see her, and she just didn''t have the energy to deal


    with him right now.


    "I will. Please, take care, Sher!" Cassie shouted from behind, even though she wasn''t sure if Sheryl


    could hear her. Even Cassie was getting tired of this set-up.


    Cassie had to watch Sheryl sneak in and out of the hospital for the past few days. No matter how nice


    Lewis was, Sheryl just didn''t have feelings for him.


    From an outsider''s perspective, no one was a better choice than Lewis—he was good-looking and had


    his ownpany. Nick and Cassie just wished that Sheryl would change her mind, or at least give


    Lewis a chance. Charles had broken her heart, and she should move on and find her happiness


    elsewhere. However, Sheryl was resolute—she loved Charles and Charles only. Nick and Cassie


    couldn''t do anything, because it was her life after all. The most they could do was give advice, but that


    was it.


    Shortly after Sheryl left, Nick arrived. When he saw that Cassie seemed to be lost in thought, he


    assumed she was upset again for not remembering something. So he approached her and wrapped his


    arms around her.


    "What are you thinking? Something from work?" he asked in a gentle and low voice. Cassie had just


    returned to work, and Nick worried that she was pushing herself too hard, too early. If she felt


    overwhelmed on her first days back, Nick wanted to suggest for her to take a few days off first.


    Lifting her head, Cassie looked back at Nick. She cleared her mind by shaking her head. "No, no, it''s


    not about me. I''m just worried about Sheryl. Nick, can you remember thest time she smiled?"


    Cassie was right, Sheryl had experienced bad luck left and right. When her family—Charles and their


    two kids—was finally given the chance to live together, they had all thought that the family would live


    happily ever after. However, it didn''t take long for Le to cause trouble for them. It seemed as if fate


    was ying around with Sheryl. Even if Charles woke up, it would be very difficult to patch up their


    rtionship again.


    Nick sighed, feeling bad for Sheryl. After a while, he spoke, "She''ll be fine. She''ll be happy one day, I


    know it."


    He then took Cassie into his arms and rubbed his chin against her head; while he promised to himself


    that he would do whatever he could to help Sheryl out.


    A few dayster, Lewis went to the building of Cloud Advertising Company. He didn''t know how to take


    no for an answer.


    It had been a while since hest saw Sheryl. When he realized that his chances of seeing Sheryl were


    better here than at the hospital, he decided to frequent her office more.


    In the morning, Sheryl came to work like she normally did. She had never thought that Lewis would


    show up there. Even if she knew, she wouldn''t have known what to do either.


    She had just barely sat down behind her desk when Phoebe abruptly came in.


    Sheryl couldn''t help but wonder what was happening, as Phoebe just came in and she didn''t even


    knock. She looked at Phoebe and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"


    "Ms. Xia, I think you should look out your window." Phoebe was at a loss as to what to do, and she


    raised her finger to point out the window.


    Sheryl knitted her brows and turned her head to look, wondering what was happening.


    Her mouth dropped open when she saw the huge balloon floating in the air. It took her a moment to


    realize what was happening. Sheryl didn''t know what to do. Why would Lewis be so stupid to do this?


    If this was some sort of surprise from two love-struck teenagers, it would be fine. But it wasn''t. Sheryl


    was a married woman, and she had two kids for God''s sake! For the first time in her life, Sheryl hated


    balloons. She cursed balloons and their inventor. When she looked closer, she saw that there was


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    something written on the balloon. It said, "I LOVE YOU, SHERYL!" Her head began spinning. She shut


    her eyes and turned to look away from the window.


    She copsed on her chair, rubbing her temples, her head throbbing.


    Phoebe sympathetically watched Sheryl. She shook her head and bit her lower lip, wondering what to


    say. The silence in the room was killing her, and she held her breath, afraid to tick Sheryl off.


    Sheryl always knew what to do, no matter how difficult a situation was. Having worked for her for so


    long, Phoebe knew this, and she admired Sheryl for it. So she racked her mind trying toe up with


    something to say to Sheryl. Finally, she decided against it.


    "Say something, Phoebe. Don''t just stand there like a piece of wood!" Sheryl opened her eyes and


    looked at Phoebe expectantly.


    Phoebe rubbed her eyes and smiled bashfully before speaking, "I''m sorry, Ms. Xia. I''ve never


    experienced anything like this before. I don''t know what to say or do. Can we just close the blinds?


    Maybe if we don''t do anything, he''ll go away."


    Phoebe knew that Lewis had no chance with Sheryl. She knew that Charles was the only man that


    Sheryl loved. Even though she''d heard some rumors here and there, she knew that Charles and Sheryl


    would be able to fix things. She also knew that Lewis was stupid to do something like this.


    Sheryl shook her head at Phoebe and quietly asked her to leave. This was her personal life, and it


    wasn''t her assistant''s job to deal with it.


    When Phoebe left, she took a deep breath, stood up, and headed to the elevator.


    Sheryl thought she would ask security to remove the balloon from her window, but she was surprised to


    find Lewis waiting for her in the lobby.


    Completely surprised, she stopped because she didn''t have time to do anything else. Lewis then


    brought out his guitar and started to y the moment he saw Sheryl.


    "This is the woman that I love. I want to show how much I love you with this song…" Lewis plucked the


    strings and began to sing "Moon River." He was gazing lovingly at Sheryl as he sang, with a look that


    would have made every woman on earth swoon.


    However, Sheryl wasn''t one of them.


    She rubbed her temples, trying her best not to punch him in the face!


    As Lewis yed and sang, more and more people started to gather around them; pping, and urging


    Sheryl to go over to Lewis and give him a hug or a kiss.


    Most of the people there worked with Sheryl in the same building, so they recognized her and


    connected the disy with the rumors that had been circting online. They began to gossip among


    themselves. They recognized who Lewis was. They assumed that Sheryl had taken her husband''s


    Lewis probably heard them, but he didn''t care. He was busy serenading Sheryl as he slowly


    approached her.
