Chapter 1770 Admire


    "Aunt Melissa, Charles still doesn''t want to be with me. What should I do?" Le said tearfully.


    Melissa hadn''t thought that things would turn out this way. She had carefullyid out her n and


    executed it so that Charles and Le would grow closer, but why did the opposite seem to be


    happening instead?


    "Le, what on earth happened? Just tell me. It''s okay," Melissa anxiously asked.


    For a few moments, Le was silent before finally deciding to tell Melissa everything.


    Upon hearing the story, Melissa grew angry. "Are you saying that Sheryl''s assistant took your gift for


    me?"


    "Yeah, it was a limited edition. They only had a few pieces around the world, and I finally found it for


    you. Phoebe took it, and Charles let her because of Sheryl. It''s my fault, though. If I had gotten Charles


    to fall in love with me, then he''d already have forgotten Sheryl," Le said, her voice riddled with guilt.


    Melissa rolled her eyes at the mention of Sheryl. She pounded on the table with her fists with a


    murderous look on her face. "I have to take Sheryl down; or, Charles and I will never live in peace."


    "Aunt Melissa, I know but it seems as if we have no choice. Charles just can''t let her go. What can we


    do? I''m so disappointed in myself. I wasn''t able to win Charles'' love. That''s why I''ve decided that I can''t


    stay here anymore. Listen to me, Aunt Melissa, you have to look after yourself when I leave, okay?"


    Le said desperately as tears streamed down her face.


    "Le, what''s wrong with you? Why do you want to leave?" Melissa knew that Le was heartbroken.


    Otherwise, she wouldn''t volunteer to leave just like that. Melissa nervously grabbed her hand.


    "Aunt Melissa, I''m fine. I just think I have pushed this far enough. Charles obviously doesn''t care about


    me that way. There''s no reason for me to be here. I think I should just leave."


    Since Charles returned, Le had been trying to figure out a way to get Charles to divorce Sheryl. She


    finally got fed up today.


    "No, you can''t leave. Sheryl and Charles are getting divorced soon. Just wait this out. I''m on your side.


    What are you afraid of?" Melissa said unhappily.


    Even though she knew how much Le was hurting, she still didn''t want Le to give up that easily.


    "Aunt Melissa, it''s not that I want to give up. Charles doesn''t like me. What can I do?"


    Le sobbed as she spoke. The anger on Melissa''s face was reced with pity. She held Le''s hand


    and sighed. "Le, feelings change over time. If you stay by Charles'' side, his heart will soften for you.


    Don''t worry about Sheryl anymore. I''ll handle it. As long as I''m here, she''s nevering back. Just wait


    for Charles and Sheryl''s divorce to be official,"


    Melissa said in one breath. She''d already said all of this before, but it still calmed Le down.


    Le was, in fact, just acting to get Melissa to hate Sheryl even more, and she was sessful. She


    knew when to stop, and this was it.


    "Hmm, Aunt Melissa. I see." Le nodded obediently and forced a smile at Melissa.


    Knowing that Le took her words to heart, Melissa nodded in satisfaction.


    Le didn''t talk about Sheryl anymore and instead stirred to the conversation elsewhere. She sighed.


    "Aunt Melissa, guess what? Holley''s pregnant!"


    "What? That woman is pregnant?" Disbelief was written all over Melissa''s face.


    Le nodded helplessly and then answered, "Yes, today she called me to tell me. I couldn''t help but


    feel jealous as she talked about the baby."


    Hardly feeling any better than Le, Melissa responded with disappointment in her eyes, "I know what


    you mean. I want to have a grandson too."


    Seeing Melissa''s expression, Le knew that she missed rk and Shirley. Although Le was


    unhappy, she hid this.


    Le didn''t know why Holley was showing off about getting pregnant before marriage as if she couldn''t


    get pregnant too.


    Upon thinking this, Le grew furious. Holley was going to have a baby and would probably use that to


    marry into the Hu Family sooner orter. What about her? She''d never even slept with Charles, much


    less getting pregnant with his baby.


    "Aunt Melissa, do you miss the two kids?" Le asked in concern.


    "If you didn''t mention them, I wouldn''t miss them because they''re not really close to me. They''re very


    close to their mother, but I wish I had a grandson who was close to me."


    It was not that Melissa didn''t like rk and Shirley, but because of her rtionship with Sheryl, the two


    kids didn''t get along with her. She couldn''t help but wish that Le had a baby with Charles, so she


    could have a grandchild that she could get close to.


    "Le,e on. I need you to get pregnant with Charles'' baby. Please?" Melissa looked at Le,


    smiling.


    Le lowered her head shyly upon hearing this.


    "What? Don''t be shy. I''m waiting," Melissa said seriously. When she saw the look on Le''s face, she


    couldn''t help but chuckle.


    Le nodded. Then they went upstairs to continue their conversation.


    Nancy watched everything from the kitchen, a scowl on her face.


    When Melissa and Le were talking in the living room, they were speaking so loudly that Nancy could


    hear everything from the kitchen. As she watched the two of them head upstairs, she couldn''t help but


    sigh and shake her head in disapproval.


    ''Sher, can''t you just get back together with Charles already?''


    Nancy could do nothing. She felt upset at the thought of Charles and Sheryl being purposely separated


    by Le and Melissa.


    Finally, she shook off these thoughts so she could focus on cleaning the kitchen.


    Melissa and Le continued to chat until they finally decided to call it a night at around 10.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
