Chapter 1717 Forget The Time
It was the end of the school day, and Sheryl had arrived right on time. When the kids saw her, they ran
out to greet her.
"Mommy, you came!" Shirley hugged Sheryl happily.
Following Shirley was rk. On the way to the car, the two kids told Sheryl about something interesting
that had happened in the kindergarten.
"Mommy, when can we see Daddy?" Shirley asked, looking at Sheryl after she had fastened the safety
belt for herself.
The question stunned Sheryl to silence. She didn''t know how to exin it to the kids. What she did
instead was to smile at Shirley, and then she changed the topic.
Being the observant and sensitive one, rk saw the sorrow on his mother''s face.
"Shirley, stop. Listen to Mommy." Seeing that Shirley was going to ask more questions, rk grabbed
Shirley''s arm to stop her.
Pouting, Shirley didn''t continue further.
Soon, they reached home.
Upon entering the house, Shirley smelled the delicious aroma of the food. She walked to Alex and
smiling she asked, "Auntie Alex, what did you cook? It smells good."
"I cooked your favorite, pork ribs."
"Wow...!"
Without washing their hands, the two kids went to their chairs. When they were about to sit, Sheryl
stopped them.
Shaking her head, Sheryl pretended to be angry. "Wash your hands!"
"Fine!" the two kids replied in unison and nodded at Sheryl before washing their hands.
Afterwards, they ate dinner. While eating, Sheryl asked them about what had happened in the
kindergarten. The dinner was an enjoyable one.
Time flew by so fast, and soon, it was time to sleep. Sheryl read the kids'' bedtime stories, and they fell
asleep in no time.
After kissing their foreheads and walking out of the children''s room, Sheryl went to her bedroom.
Meanwhile, the two kids opened their eyes as soon as she left.
"rk, do you think Daddy and Mommy had a fight?" Shirley asked rk in a sweet and soft voice.
Looking at Shirley next to him, rk nodded. "It seems that Mommy and Daddy are going to separate.
We have to figure out a solution."
"rk, do you have a solution?" Shirley looked at rk expectantly.
Despite not fully understanding the adult world yet, the two kids thought it was for the best if Sheryl and
Charles could remain together.
Witness to everything that happened between their parents, the two kids were nervous. After a short
while, rk said, "I have a n..."
Hearing that rk had a n, Shirley asked happily, "What''s the n, rk?"
Not wanting to be heard, rk whispered something to Shirley. Soon after, the two fell joyfully asleep.
In their minds, the n would surely work, and Sheryl and Charles would stay together again.
On the balcony, Sheryl stood and looked up at the sky. Sad and lonely, she felt restless and always
thought of Charles. But, she knew deep inside her heart that she had to move on.
After drinking some water, Sheryl forced herself to go to sleep.
Sheryl had a nightmare which left her heartbroken and almost wanting to leave this world.
In her dream, she was chased by an evil dog. She ran and ran until she finally came to a dead end.
She wanted to pass by the evil dog, but she couldn''t, no matter how hard she had tried.
Awakening from the nightmare, she found it was already dawn. She sat up and took a deep breath.
Then she sighed and brushed her messy hair before walking out of the bedroom.
"Good morning, Ms. Xia. Breakfast is ready, and the kids have started to wash up. Will you drive them
to the kindergarten this morning, or shall I?" Alex said in one breath.
Sheryl smiled at Alex and replied gently, "Thanks, Alex. Please, drive the kids for me. I have an early
meeting today.
Okay!"
When the kids were ready, Sheryl had finished breakfast.
"Babies, I have something to do this morning and need to go now. Be well-behaved and go to school
with Alex. Remember to listen to the teachers. Do you understand?" Sheryl looked at the kids with a
big smile.
Running to Sheryl first, rk hugged her leg tightly. "Mommy, drive safe. Don''t forget to pick us up in
the afternoon."
"Right!" Shirley echoed.
"Don''t worry. I will. Be good kids." Touching rk''s head, Sherylughed as she left.
At Cloud Advertising Company, Sheryl was busy working again. I wanted to talk to her several times,
but Sheryl kicked her out every time she attempted.
"Sher, would you like a cup of coffee?" Smiling brightly, I walked to Sheryl.
Helplessly, Sheryl sighed. "Ms. Zhao, I am very busy right now. Will you go away, please?"
Seeing Sheryl''s reaction, I had no choice but to walk out of her office. Then she went to Phoebe.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Seeing I''s expression, Phoebeughed. "Ms. Zhao, please, don''t disturb Ms. Xia. We have a lot of
tasks to do at the moment. Ms. Xia doesn''t have time to chat with you."
"Phoebe, how could you? Do you mean to say that only Ms. Xia is busy, and I have nothing to do?"
Pretending to be angry, I looked at Phoebe.
Not minding I, Phoebe sat in front of her table and smiled.
Knowing she couldn''t persuade Phoebe or scare her, I stopped talking to her.
"Fine! All of you are so busy while I alone am free. I will go out and buy you some drinks." With that,
I left Cloud Advertising Company at a leisurely walk.
All the employees heard that they would be getting something to drink, so they became happy.
Meanwhile, in the kindergarten, rk and Shirley were busy. When it was almost time to go home, the
two kids hid themselves and started to talk about their n.
Soon, it was time to leave school. rk and Shirley ran out of the kindergarten while the teachers were
too busy to pay attention to them.
"rk, are we really going to do this?" Shirley was worried and grabbed rk''s arm.
Looking at Shirley firmly, rk said, "Shirley, don''t worry. Mommy and Daddy love us so much. If they
learn we are missing, they wille to find us together. Then they will make up."
When Shirley heard rk''s exnation, she nodded crazily in an instant.
Soon, they arrived in their neighborhood but didn''t go home. They nned to go home secretly when
Alex had gone out. In that case, nobody would know that they were safely at home.
In Cloud Advertising Company
"Ms. Xia, didn''t you say that you will be picking up the two kids?" Turning around to look at the inner
office, Phoebe was surprised to still see Sheryl sitting. She rushed in to remind her of the time.
"What time is it?" Raising her head suddenly, Sheryl looked at Phoebe.
"Five minutester than your usual time." Looking at Sheryl, Phoebe felt awkward.
"Damn! How can I have forgotten the time?" Feeling guilty, Sheryl cursed herself. She hurriedly stood
up while fixing her things and prepared to leave.
