Chapter 1714 He Only Cared About The Kids


    "Sheryl, why don''t you give Charles a chance? Talk to him," I finally said and turned to look at


    Sheryl. It was obvious that Sheryl was still in love with Charles. Otherwise, she wouldn''t be in so much


    pain.


    "That won''t be necessary. I have nothing to exin, besides, for men, sexes first. He doesn''t care


    if I decide to leave. He only cares about the kids!" Sheryl exined, forcing a smile. She tried her best


    to sound like it was not a big deal, but her tone betrayed her, so she looked away.


    I felt bad when she heard the sadness in Sheryl''s words. Gently patting Sheryl''s left hand, she said,


    "Sheryl, no matter what you decide to do, I will be here to support you!"


    "I, don''t worry about me. I will move on. Believe me, I can do this!" Sheryl never tried to hide her love


    for Charles because it was so deep. It was not like she could just forget him as she wished. He would


    always hold a special ce in her heart.


    "Yes, I know you can." I replied, giving her a reassuring smile.


    Cloud Advertising Company had a lot of business clients recently. I tried to leave most of them to


    Sheryl because she knew that keeping her busy would take her mind off the sad things happening in


    her life. Therefore, I had a lot of free time, while Sheryl was as busy as a bee.


    At the Dream Garden


    Charles just got home from work. Entering the living room, he handed his coat to Nancy, who was


    waiting by the door. Melissa saw him the moment he came in and weed him in a gentle voice,

    "Charles, you''re home. How was your day today? Are you tired?"


    "No," Charles replied, his expression was nk.


    Hearing such a short response, Melissa felt worried. She had worked out their n smoothly with Le


    the other night, but since then, Charles seemed to have been down in the dumps.


    "Charles, you''re making me worry. I hate seeing you so gloomy." Taking Charles'' hand, Melissa tried to


    stop him as he was about to go upstairs.


    "Mom, what else do you want me to do?" Charles impatiently asked his mother.


    As if on cue, Melissa covered her chest and started coughing.


    Seeing his mother coughing endlessly, Charles suddenly felt worried. Hepletely forgot about his


    earlier coldness to her, and concern was now written all over his face.


    "Mom, are you okay?"


    "You are making me deliberately angry. Maybe you really want me to be sick. Am I right? I''m your


    mother. You''re my son. Do you think I would do anything to harm you?" Looking at Charles, Melissa did


    her best to convince him.


    "Mom, what are you talking about? Why don''t you sit down and take a moment''s rest first? Here, let me


    help you," Charles offered.


    He knew about his mother''s poor health condition. At the same time, he also knew that his mother


    hated Sheryl like sin. It upset Charles that Melissa was urging him to divorce Sheryl, using her illness to


    constantly bring it up. But the truth was, Charles didn''t want to divorce Sheryl, so he avoided the


    discussion whenever he could.


    Charles assisted Melissa as she sat down on the sofa, asking Nancy to get her a ss of water.


    "Mom, drink this," Charles said softly, feeling worried as he handed Melissa the ss.


    "Charles, I don''t want to pressure you. As you know, Sheryl doesn''t want to stay with you anymore.


    And since you and Le already slept together, don''t you think it''s only right that you marry her?"


    Melissamented sincerely.


    Thinking about what his mother just said, Charles knew that she was right. But he couldn''t just move on


    and marry Le. So every time she mentioned it, he would remain silent.


    Melissa knew that she should stop now, saying more wouldn''t help. "Well." Melissa sighed. "Do


    whatever you like. It''s not like I will have many years left. Just do as you please!"


    "Mom, please. Don''t worry about me and Sheryl. I will handle that." Furrowing his eyebrows, Charles


    looked at his mother patiently.


    Charles felt that he was in a difficult position. Everyone kept pushing and forcing him to make a


    decision now. He was used to it before, but now it was different.


    "Ahem! Ahem!" Melissa started to cough again. She looked miserable.


    "Aunt Melissa, are you okay?" Le asked as she rushed in. She had just arrived from work. Hearing


    Melissa coughing, she felt extremely worried.


    Immediately running to Melissa''s side, she rubbed her back gently, hoping to ease her pain.


    "Le, you''re back! I''m fine." Forcing a smile, Melissa weed her


    "Charles, it''s okay. You can go back to your work. I''ll take care of Aunt Melissa!" Le said in a


    considerate tone.


    Knowing that Charles must feel helpless in such an awkward situation, Le decided to take over


    instead.


    "Okay then. I''m going back to my room. Please, take good care of my mother." Without doubt, Charles


    was worried about his mother. But he couldn''t help but lose his patience whenever she started talking


    about Sheryl and the divorce.


    After they confirmed that Charles was already upstairs, Le and Melissa started chatting.


    "Le, why didn''t you get back together? Is it because he didn''t want to?" Melissa whispered in a low


    voice.


    Le looked around, making sure that no one would hear them, before she replied, "No. Don''t worry,


    Aunt Melissa. Charles is nice to me. After that night, he doesn''t treat me coldly anymore!"


    "Really?" Le''s news sounded like music to Melissa''s ear.


    Le nodded shyly.


    "That''s great!" Melissa heaved a long sigh with relief. She pat her chest, feeling fulfilled.


    "Madam, dinner is ready." Walking out from the kitchen, Nancy went to where Melissa and Le were


    seated, her face showing no emotions at all.


    "Okay. Tell Charles toe down and join us." Melissa ordered Nancy in an annoyed tone. Now that


    Sheryl had left Dream Garden, Nancy was the only eyesore in this household.


    Noting her instructions, Nancy went upstairs to get Charles and left Le and Melissa.


    The door of Charles'' study was shut closed, so Nancy knocked twice and waited.


    "Come in." Tilting his head, Charles looked to check who was at the door.


    Pushing the door open, Nancy came in quietly. Seeing that Charles was busy working on some


    paperwork, she slowly walked towards him to announce, "Sir, dinner is ready."


    "Okay, I got it. Thank you, Nancy." Forcing a smile, Charles closed the file he was working on then


    followed Nancy out of the study.


    While walking down the stairs, he saw Melissa and Leughing in the living room. Charles had to


    admit that Le had her own way with his mother. To be honest, he never heard Melissaugh happily


    while talking with anyone, aside from Le.


    "Mom, let''s go and have dinner now," Charles called out to Melissa before going straight to the dining


    table.


    Le straightened her face and led Melissa to the dining table.


    After Nancy had finished setting the table, they started to have dinner.


    "Charles, have more," Le said, adding another serving to his bowl. "There are so many things to deal


    with in thepany. Look at you. You seemed to have lost weight." Le wanted Charles to feel that


    she was concerned with both him and thepany.


    But Charles didn''t respond. Although Le put another scoop of food into his bowl, he didn''t even look


    at it. He continued eating another dish on his te instead.


    Feeling embarrassed, Le turned to Melissa. She felt awkward that all her efforts were in vain, but she


    still managed to pull up a smile.
