Chapter 1726 Don''t Push Me Too Far


    Speechlessly, Sheryl smiled. She could only nod at I''s bubbly mood.


    I, on the other hand, cheered and jumped because of too much joy.


    Sheryl was very amused. Though already a mom, I still always acted like a child. Sheryl could only


    shake her head at her.


    "You''re so excited, I. What made you so happy?" Sheryl asked I in confusion.


    Snapping her fingers, I looked at Sheryl saying, "You notice that?"


    "Of course, I. Who wouldn''t? When you''re grinning like that! If I noticed nothing, I would be an idiot,"


    Sheryl answered, shaking her head.


    Before telling Sheryl what had happened the previous night, I grabbed Sheryl''s hand and got into


    the car with her.


    It wasn''t really a big deal. But for I, it was already pretty exciting. And she wanted to share every


    happy moment in her life with Sheryl.


    After hearing I''s story, Sheryl burst intoughter. She couldn''t believe I would be so happy about


    this.


    I''s mother-inw had picked up the children to stay with her for a while, and she would take care of


    the kids to give their parents a break. I could finally have some alone time with Aron. This idea


    cheered I so much. She and Aron hadn''t had a sweet vacation since they had children.


    "Aron''s parents are very nice. I am so d that you have such nice inws. If Charles''…"


    Sheryl stopped abruptly when she mentioned Charles'' name.


    Though I didn''t expect Charles'' name to be dragged in their conversation, she was still thankful that


    it was Sheryl who did it. If I had done that, she was sure Sheryl would have been upset. And, she


    did not want that to happen.


    "Wish me luck, Sher. By the way, since I am going away on holiday with Aron, you will be very busy in


    the following weeks. I will not be around to help you with work. So, make good use of me today. I will


    try my best to meet your needs!"


    I promised Sheryl, putting her hand on her chest.


    "For real? Like, anything?" Sheryl teased I while smiling.


    Suddenly, I felt like she shouldn''t have made the promise. As she looked at Sheryl, her heart

    tightened, and she said carefully, "Please, don''t ask me to help you kill people, okay?"


    "What are you thinking?" Sheryl rolled her eyes at I.


    Soon, they came to a street full of luxury stores.


    Actually, Sheryl wasn''t a huge fan of luxury and fashion brands. But she had to admit that shopping


    was one of the best ways for women to rx and cheer up.


    Though Sheryl and I weren''t regr customers there, almost all the employees knew them. Every


    time they dropped by, the employees were happy to see them. Salespeople always bowed and greeted


    them with bright smiles.


    In turn, Sheryl and I always felt ttered. In less than an hour, they had bought a lot of clothes.


    After shopping, I took Sheryl to a Japanese restaurant.


    For one whole day, Sheryl had a great time with I. Just for a moment, Sheryl forgot all the pain that


    Charles had caused her.


    After a great day, I drove Sheryl back to thepany. Sheryl had the office all to herself. In the


    midst of the silence, all the painful memories came back to haunt Sheryl again. She felt sad all over


    again. Sadder even than before.


    She didn''t want to be a two-faced person. Though she didn''t want to be the saddest person in front of


    other people, she didn''t know how long she couldst. It was true that shopping with I could ease


    the burden she felt, but it onlysted for a short time. When she was alone, sadness crept into her


    core.


    Lowering her head on the desk, she looked at the files, not nearly as happy or as excited as before.


    "Knock, knock!" Someone knocked on Sheryl''s office door.


    "Come in!" Sheryl said, lifting her head.


    Holding a bunch of files, Phoebe walked into the office. One by one, she exined what the files were


    about.


    Half an hourter, Phoebe finally finished her report. However, too upset to have even focused on


    Phoebe, Sheryl hadn''t understood a word. To Phoebe, she said, "Okay, I will sign themter. You can


    go back to work now."


    It was very rare for Phoebe to be surprised, and she was surprised! What she felt was that her hard


    work had gone in vain. She opened her mouth to say something, but what came out was something


    opposite of what was in her mind.


    "Okay, President Xia."


    Not clueless about everything around her, Phoebe understood why Sheryl was in a bad mood. She


    knew she''d better leave her alone. So, she left the office and shut the door quietly.


    Everything was silent in the office again, and Sheryl didn''t like the feeling. In her loneliness, Sheryl''s


    thoughts wandered back to Charles and their broken marriage. No matter how hard she tried to forget,


    it just kept haunting her. The feeling wouldn''t go away. She needed a distraction.


    At the hospital


    Seriously injured, Jason couldn''t be discharged from the hospital yet. It had been days since he was


    beaten up by ck. Right at that moment, he was still taking a rest on the bed. Arriving with furrowed


    brows was Holley, bringing him lunch.


    "Time for lunch!" Holley said impatiently.


    Having just woken up, Jason rubbed his eyes and looked at Holley lovingly. Teasing her, Jason said,


    "You finally came to see me. I guess the Boss asked you to do so, right? Otherwise, you wouldn''t be


    here."


    "I really don''t understand why you wanted me to bring you lunch. There is a canteen here," Holley


    answered coldly with crossed arms.


    Struggling, Jason sat up. Then, he got out of his bed and walked towards Holley. Looking her from


    head to toe, he opened his mouth and said, "Holley, in case you''ve forgotten, you are my woman. What


    would people think of you if you nevere to visit me? They will think I dumped you. That will be


    pretty humiliating for you, won''t it, President Ye?"


    Mocking Holley, Jason put his hand on her shoulder. Holley got annoyed and shook off his hand.


    Furrowing her brows, Holley took a step back, pointed her fingers at him, and said, "Jason, let me


    remind you, we are a fake couple. Who do you think you are, my real boyfriend?"


    Feeling Holley''s anger, Jason smiled coldly and answered back, "And, who do you think you are? As


    far as I know, you are far from being a decent woman. Don''t pretend you''re so ssy in front of me. I


    am not buying that!"


    What Jason said made Holley sick.


    "I already brought you lunch. Enjoy your meal!"


    Turning around, Holley left.


    Behind her, Jason yelled, "Holley! I want pork ribs tomorrow!"


    "You...!" Trying hard, Holley suppressed her anger. But what Jason had just said made her anger grow


    stronger.


    "Be careful. We''re at the hospital. People are watching us."


    Oozing with confidence, Jason knew that Holley wouldn''t daresh out in public. Heid back on his


    bed and looked at Holley condescendingly.


    "There''s no need for reminding me. And, don''t push me too far, Jason. A desperate dog will leap over a


    wall, you know?!"


    Grinding her teeth, she red at Jason. She would have killed Jason numerous times if it had been


    legal to murder people.
