Chapter 1945 It Depends


    At dinner, Charles deliberately asked the kids to go back home with him, assuming that this might stir


    Sheryl into a conversation. Upon hearing that, the kids jumped with excitement because they wanted to


    spend quality time with their beloved parents, but Sheryl had not even uttered a word yet. Charles


    could no longer bear her silence, and this made him feel extremely uncertain.


    "Daddy, you have no idea, we all missed you so muchtely..." Shirley nced at Charles with her


    deep hazel eyes, clearly reflecting the immense grief she had gone through during the past few days.


    Charles stared at her and then nced at Sheryl, observing that she paused for a while. He dispensed


    a forced smile through the corner of his lips and subtly touched Shirley''s little face. "Shirley, I am so


    sorry, my princess. It''s Daddy''s fault! I won''t do that ever again."


    "It''s okay, Daddy! But, you must keep your promise now," rk responded. rk acted like an adult


    and gazed at his father persistently as if he was lost in his thoughts, contemting over something


    important.


    "Okay, take my word kids, I will keep my promise," Charles replied with firm assurance. Charles noticed


    rk staring at him steadily and nced back at him with affection.


    While Charles was chatting with the kids, Sheryl wasn''t even the least bit bothered to say anything to


    them. It appeared as if she didn''t care about a thing going on around her.


    Soon after dinner, Sheryl and the kids yed together for a little while, cherishing their fellowship once


    again after a long haul.


    Sheryl then cradled the children and rocked them to sleep. The kids eventually fell asleep right after the


    clock struck nine.


    Charles was involved in work in the living roomter that night. He knew that he hadn''t solved some


    little problems yet because he had left anxiously. Charles grabbed the phone from the table hastily and


    dialed a number.


    Sheryl snuck out of the children''s room, trying not to make a noise, as it might disturb their good night''s


    sleep. She saw Charles making a phone call and walked past him so as not to disturb him. Sheryl went


    straight to the dining room, grabbed a ss, and poured some water. She gulped the whole ss in


    one go, quenching her thirst.


    Suddenly, she felt a presence behind her. Sheryl turned around without blinking her eyes. Charles was


    right behind her. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her with passion dripping from his eyes. Sheryl


    could no longer resist the intense sensations running through her nerves and gave in to the butterflies


    in her stomach. The mere nce at Charles was enough to make her shy.


    "What are you doing here?," Sheryl interrogated.


    "Honey, I miss you like hell!" As soon as Charles concluded the sentence, he lifted Sheryl up from the


    ground in his arms.


    Sheryl struggled for a while and pushed him back reluctantly. However, she finally gave in feeling his


    dapper body touching her right away. She thought she could resist him for such a long time passed, but


    her body was honest. Sheryl had no idea that her body had been craving Charles'' embrace like this.


    Charles embraced Sheryl for a long while. They both held onto each other as if the whole gxy had


    halted at this very moment. Charles wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. It seemed that he was


    certain to never let thisdy get away from his side ever again since he had already made this mistake


    before. To safeguard Sheryl, was his only redemption. They walked back to the bedroom andy


    beside each other to sleep. Charles and Sheryl hugged each other the whole night, and soon they slept


    rolled up in each other''s arms.


    The following day


    As a beam of sunlight caressed Sheryl''s eyes, she woke up on the bed. She fumbled beside her but


    didn''t see Charles. Sheryl rubbed her eyes in disbelief for a while and thought to herself, ''Alright, so it


    was a dreamst night.''


    She stretched her arms and twisted her waist to energize herself for the day ahead. Sheryl went


    downstairs, and, what she saw next, left her in utter shock. Charles was making breakfast in the


    kitchen! She was petrified and stared at him in bewilderment.


    Charles felt her gaze at him and turned around spontaneously. He found Sheryl standing still as if she''d


    frozen on the spot because of astonishment.


    Sheryl was not expecting him to turn around all of a sudden, so she was rather caught red-handed.


    She hurriedly looked away to save herself from the embarrassment.


    "What are you doing..."


    "I am making breakfast for you and the kids," Charles interrupted Sheryl''s words. Charles knew what


    Sheryl wanted to ask already, so he answered before letting her finish the sentence.


    Sheryl was evidently having a hard time getting used to Charles'' changed behavior.


    During the daytime, the family rejoiced together, and after a long walk at the beach, they also went


    shopping. As the moon extended its radiance over the horizon, Charles suggested that they return


    home tomorrow as a family.


    But Sheryl refused on the spot without giving it even a second thought.


    "Why? Why don''t you want to go back with me, Sher?" Charles was anxious that Sheryl was still angry


    at him. So, he turned to question Sher, dubiously.


    Sheryl stretched out her palms and replied nonchntly, "I just don''t want to, Charles."


    Upon hearing Sheryl''s words in a fit, Charles realized that he could do nothing to make her change her


    mind.


    For several of the following days, Charles repetitively mentioned returning home, but Sheryl rebuffed


    him each time. Atst, he deemed that Sheryl desired to live in Australia, so he decided not to push her


    to go back anymore.


    That day, when Sheryl and the kids were out for a while to hang-out, Charles told David to take over


    the business in Australia.


    David stared at Charles with skepticism and struggled toprehend why his boss had abruptly said


    that.


    Charles noticed David''s confusion and shook his head helplessly, smirking. "Sher wants to stay in


    Australia, so I will let you handle the issue here temporarily," Charles borated.


    Upon hearing that, David gave out a sigh of relief.


    "Okay, Mr. Lu. I am going to handle it ording to your desires." Afterward, David turned back and was


    about to leave for the branch office when he heard Charles'' voice.


    "Wait a moment." Charles thought of something all of a sudden and stopped David right away.


    "What''s the matter, Mr. Lu?" David quickly stopped in his tracks and turned to Charles.


    Charles stared at David for a while, lost in his thoughts. Then he responded after some consideration,


    "Purchase the vi next door for me."


    "Yes, Mr. Lu." David was clear about Charles'' intention this time. He agreed to what his boss ordered


    and then headed to the office.


    David was real quick and handled everything swiftly. Charles invited Sheryl to visit his new house with


    him.


    Sheryl had no idea that Charles would buy this vi. She didn''t know how to react to him.


    Nevertheless, the kids were in their seventh heaven to hear about their new home sweet home.


    "Mommy, Daddy''s home is beyond beautiful!" Shirley started to walk around and explore the ce as


    soon as she entered the house.


    rk followed her closely while observing the serenity of the ce. The two children went upstairs as


    soon as they could no longer contain their excitement.


    "Do you like it?" Charles gazed at Sheryl subtly, his eyes speaking volumes of the emotions and


    passion he had for his wife.


    Sheryl remained silent but still nodded in approval.


    Although she had no idea what Charles was nning to do, Sheryl now had the idea that he was


    determined to stay around here. And, there was nothing she could, for now, do to push him away, no


    matter how hard she tried to.


    The following day


    Once Sheryl woke up from a good night''s sleep and went downstairs, she saw Charles in the living


    room.


    "How did you get inside?" Sheryl questioned in shock. Sheryl remembered she had not given him the


    key, so how could he get into her house?


    "rk gave the key to me." Charles dangled the key in front of Sheryl.


    Sheryl was puzzled about the kid''s behavior. The kids had not been ready to see Charles'' face


    because they were so angry at him. Yet why did the kids change when he started to reappear in front of


    them?


    The truth was that the kids weren''t mad at him; they drew closer to him during his absence. Obviously,


    they missed their father the most.


    "What have you done to the kids? Did you cast a spell on them?" Sheryl proposed because she was


    bbergasted.


    Upon hearing Sheryl''s query, Charles shrugged, smiledcently, and stated, "I am their father.


    Aren''t they supposed to be close to me?"


    "Forget it! I am not in the mood to talk with you right now" Since Charles didn''t seem about to tell her


    the truth, Sheryl turned around and stepped forward to leave.


    Without even dying for a second, Charles stretched out his hand to grab her wrist andughed with


    affection. "Sher, they weren''t close to me in the beginning, you know that. But I told them why it all


    happened. They understood my stance and forgave me. When will you forgive me, honey?"

    Charles knew that even though Sheryl said nothing, she still med him for all that had happened.


    "It depends on my mood." Sheryl dropped this reply out of the corner of her mouth and then went about


    her business.


    Charles showed a faint smile on his lips. He knew that haste never brings triumph and, while she was


    around him, sooner orter, her heart would definitely melt.

    I looked Phoebe in her eyes and found the blush on her face. Then she pointed at her and smiled,


    lost in thought. "Phoebe, you asked for leave because you have a date with Josef, right?"


    "Ms. Zhao, since you know that already, why do you ask it?" Phoebe''s face turned redder as she


    blushed in embarrassment. She felt so shy that she wanted to hide and disappear right away from


    I''s sight.
