Chapter 1715 Feeling Embarrassed


    "Le, eat something. You have been so busy these days." Breaking the silence, Melissa passed Le


    some food.


    During dinner, the trio ate silently. Charles was in a bad mood, and the others wouldn''t say anything to


    avoid annoying him any further.


    Soon, Charles finished eating and then immediately went upstairs.


    Wanting to follow, Le stood up, but Melissa stopped her.


    Melissa shook her head at Le. After hearing Charles'' bedroom door close, she grabbed Le''s arm


    and headed to the garden.


    The two stood in the garden, and Melissa looked at Le inquisitively.


    The look on Melissa''s face made Le nervous. She took a deep breath and asked, "Aunt Melissa,


    what''s wrong?"


    "Nothing. I just wanted to ask you: Did something happen between the two of youter that night?"


    Melissa stared at Le meaningfully.


    There was knowing in Melissa''s smile, and it made Le feel more abashed. She held Melissa''s arm a


    little bit tightly, and answered, "Aunt Melissa, your question is so embarrassing."


    "Why are you so shy? It is normal for a man and a woman. Just tell me. Yes or no?!" Also feeling a


    mixture of nervousness and excitement, Melissa grabbed Le''s hands.


    Seeing that Melissa was so persistent, Le shook her head helplessly.


    "It doesn''t matter. You will have chances in the future. Does Charles treat you better than before?" still


    insistent, Melissa continued questioning.


    Sighing after a while, Le nodded. "Aunt Melissa, I know you are nice to me, but as long as Sheryl is


    still a member of this family, I think it will be hard for me to get Charles'' eptance."


    "Le, don''t worry. After that night, Sheryl refused to see Charles. And, I talk about the divorce with him


    every day. I guarantee you, it will end one of these days." Afraid that Le would give up now, Melissa


    hurriedly exined.


    Hearing Melissa''s assurance, Le nodded.


    After the discussion, the two felt much better.


    Meanwhile, someone on the second floor was unhappy. At that moment, Charles was staring at


    Sheryl''s picture. Seeing Sheryl''s bright smile, he smiled bitterly.


    Believing that he always had great self-control, Charles was confused. He didn''t know what had been


    wrong with him that night. He was so sure that he would never be close to Le, but something


    happened again.


    Charles would never really know how Sheryl felt when she saw them, but one thing was clear to him.


    He broke her heart.


    After that incident, Charles never saw Sheryl again. No matter what he did, she sessfully avoided


    seeing him. If he didn''t know Cloud Advertising Company was still operating as usual, he would have


    thought that Sheryl had already left this city.


    He had never felt so sorrowful and guilty until that moment.


    For now, he was unable to face two women at the same time. The first one he couldn''t see. The


    second one he didn''t want to see.


    "Tap-tap!" There was a knock on the door.


    "Who is it?" Charles knew that Nancy wouldn''t disturb him at this time, and it left him with two choices.


    So he frowned and asked unhappily.


    "Charles, Aunt Melissa prepared fruits for you."


    "I just had dinner, so I am not hungry." When he heard it was Le, his tone got cold.


    "But Aunt Melissa prepared these for you. Just eat some." Not giving up, Le remained standing by


    the door. She waited patiently. Obviously, she wouldn''t leave until he opened his door.


    Looking at the door helplessly, he responded, "Come in."


    Hearing his approval, Le was so happy to push the door open. She entered the room with a big smile


    on her face.


    Putting down Sheryl''s picture, Charles picked up a book from the bedside table instead. He pretended


    to be reading it and didn''t give Le a nce.


    After putting the fruits in front of Charles, Le said softly, "Charles, Aunt Melissa has cut them for you.


    What would you like to eat? I will feed you."


    "No need. Thanks. Go out, please," Charles replied politely.


    From his point of view, Charles knew that it was not Le''s fault. It was because he was drunk that


    night. How could he me her? So seeing that she was so cautious, Charles spoke in a soft voice.


    "Hmm, okay. I am going out now. If you need anything, call me." Being sensible enough, Le turned to


    leave Charles'' bedroom.

    It was clear to her that she couldn''t be so anxious and aggressive. What she needed to do was to


    make Charles ept her gradually.


    After walking out of Charles'' bedroom, Le stood at the door for a moment and mumbled, "Charles,


    why can''t you see my good points?"


    Then, she went downstairs slowly.


    Every time she saw Le unhappy, Melissa felt sad and sorry for her. What she felt for Le was


    aggravated more by the insults Le had received from Cassie when she bumped into her earlier


    during their shopping spree.


    In low spirits, Le sat down beside Melissa and asked slowly, "Aunt Melissa, when do you think will


    Charles ept me?"


    "Le, don''t worry. It won''t be long now. In fact, I am going to see Sheryl today. I don''t believe she will


    be so shameless." Not long after, Melissa left Dream Garden in a rage.


    Not really wanting to stop her, Le called her several times, pretending to be concerned and trying to


    stop her. When she saw Melissa walk out of Dream Garden, Le felt relieved. What she was afraid of


    was that Melissa was not really going to see Sheryl.


    As soon as she left Dream Garden, Melissa called Sheryl.


    Seeing that the call was from Melissa, Sheryl rejected it. She hated everyone from the Lu Family,


    especially Melissa. Since she was divorcing Charles, she didn''t need to care about Melissa''s feelings


    anymore.


    When her call was rejected, Melissa got angrier. She then headed to Cloud Advertising Company.


    The security let Melissae in, but Phoebe stood up to stop her.


    "Mrs. Lu, what can I do for you?" Knowing what happened between Sheryl and Charles, she knew just


    what she had to do. Seeing Melissa arrive in a rage, Phoebe guessed that she wanted to make trouble.


    Before stopping Melissa, Phoebe already asked somebody to tell Sheryl that Melissa had arrived.


    Though busy with the office documents, Sheryl noticed her secretarye in. She raised her head and


    asked, "What''s up?"


    Nervously, the secretary pointed outside and said, "Ms. Xia, Mrs. Lu arrived."


    "Mo... What does she want?" Almost calling Melissa ''mother'', Sheryl stopped just in time. Melissa was


    just her mother-inw. And, it was improper to call her ''mother'' now, since she was going to divorce


    Charles.


    "Okay, I see." Sheryl replied. Then, she stood up and walked out.


    "Who the hell are you?! Why are you stopping me?!" Shouting, Melissa pointed at Phoebe arrogantly.


    She didn''t care who Phoebe was.


    "Phoebe, please, continue your work." Coming out, Sheryl heard Melissa curse Phoebe. Unhappy,


    Sheryl didn''t say anything, for Melissa was an elder. All she could do was ask Phoebe to leave.
