Chapter 1946 A Clever Child


    "Phoebe, why are you so shy? You are Josef''s girlfriend. It''s normal for you to hang out together. But I


    want to ask him. You have been in a rtionship for so long, but he hasn''t proposed marriage to you


    yet. What does he want?"


    I said, deliberately intending to provoke Phoebe.


    Hearing that, Phoebe shook her head immediately. "Ms. Zhao, you..."


    "Forget it. You are so scared. Don''t worry. I won''t do anything. I am approving your leave application.


    Have a good time. Don''te back until you have fully enjoyed yourself. Do you understand?" I


    looked at Phoebe, smiling through her eyes.


    In fact, I was d to see that Phoebe had found a good boyfriend. Moreover, the boy who was in a


    rtionship with Phoebe was Aron''s cousin. I was d to know that they would be rtives


    soon.


    "Thanks, Ms. Zhao. I will take my leave now." Phoebe nced at I bashfully and then bowed before


    she walked out of her office.


    These days everything was going on very well, and I suddenly felt so light because she had nothing


    to do. Charles had been in Australia for several days. Why hadn''t he brought Sher back?


    At this thought, I felt that her heart became heavy all of a sudden. She was apprehensive that


    something was wrong with them in Australia. The next moment she found herself dialing Sheryl''s


    number.


    In Australia


    Sheryl was watching the flowers in the garden from inside the vi, and Charles was ying games


    with the kids. She turned around to find her phone ringing. And as soon as Sheryl saw that the call was


    from I, she made an awkward face. As I''s name shed on her phone screen, she remembered


    that she hadn''t contacted her best friend for a long time. She picked up the phone quickly.


    "I, I miss you!" Sheryl knew how to persuade an angry person with a smile. No matter how mad I


    was at her for not being in touch, Sheryl knew that she could win her back with some nice words.


    "Bad girl, why is it that I don''t know that you miss me?" I pretended to be angry with Sheryl.


    Sheryl certainly knew I wouldn''t truly be mad at her. However, she must have felt unhappy.


    "I miss you, really."


    "Well, if that is true, why haven''t you called me for so long? Haven''t you made up with Charles yet?"


    I was not the kind of person to insist on a single point or endlessly beating around the bush. Hence,


    she got straight to the point.


    Hearing I''s words, Sheryl couldn''t help but nce at Charles, who was not far away from her at the


    moment.


    ''Have I forgiven him?'' she wondered.


    In fact, she had never med him, but the series of incidents that happened between them left a

    certain scar on her heart that she had not yet been able to forget.


    Since Sheryl remained silent, I could gauge at her state of mind. She heaved a deep sigh. "Sher,


    what had to happen has happened. Now, you need to move on. All the unimportant people are out of


    the picture. You should cherish the moment at present."


    Sheryl was clear that I meant good for her and what she had said made sense, but still, certain


    things couldn''t be solved by a mere exchange of words.


    "I, you know what? These days I have realized this one point. In the past, there were Holley and


    Le, and in the future, there will be Dolly, She, and other women. Do I have to experience this with


    Charles every time? I am really not up for it." Sheryl was truly frightened.


    I was left dumbfounded when Sheryl spoke about her inhibitions in such a ck manner. She


    understood what her friend was worried about and wanted to tell her that it was no big deal. All these


    things would be gone. However, I could not find the right words to convey her assurance to Sheryl.


    Sheryl''s concern was not baseless.


    "Sher, no matter what you want to do, I will always be with you." Ultimately I worded her heartfelt


    thoughts for Sheryl.


    Upon hearing that, Sheryl feltforted and was moved to tears.


    She looked at Charles involuntarily. Had it not been for Le, she might have stayed with this man and


    been loyal to him all through her life.


    "I, take good care of Phoebe and thepany. Thank you for always being there for me." Sheryl felt


    guilty every time she thought that I had to handle so many things in thepany all by herself.


    "Alright, you are wee. Have a good time. Come back when you get tired." After that, the two


    friends spoke with each other for some more time before hanging up the phone.


    Charles was ying with the kids and saw Sheryl sitting there with a nk expression on her face. He


    said to rk, "rk, when do you think Mommy will forgive me?"


    "Daddy, Shirley and I will help you," rk remarked with a sparkle in his eyes.


    Hearing rk''s reaction, Charlesughed out loud and stroked his little head. "rk, how will you help


    Daddy?"


    rk shared a shy and naughty nce at Charles.


    After pondering for a while, he let out augh as if he had a brilliant idea in his little head. "Daddy, just


    make Mommy happy. Every time Shirley and I make Mommy angry, we will say lots and lots of nice


    words to her. Then she will stop being angry."


    Charles listened to rk''s sweet voice. His son''s naive and innocent advice made himugh.


    rk was just a kid and naturally different from Charles.


    But what the little boy had said certainly drove home the point that as long as Charles stayed with


    Sheryl, he would be able to win her back sooner orter.


    The next day


    Charles came to Sheryl''s house as usual and happened to see rk excitedly running to him.


    "Daddy, you havee! Yay!" rk ran to Charles and hugged his legs.


    "Did you miss Daddy?" Charles lifted rk in his arms.


    rk turned around and nced at the stairs to make sure that Sheryl hadn''te out yet. Then he


    moved close to Charles'' ear and whispered, "Daddy, Mommy will throw a party in two days..."


    "A party?" Charles was rather surprised because he knew that Sheryl didn''t like parties. Then why


    would she host a party now?


    "Mommy said we have been in Australia for a long time now, and the kids in the neighborhood are nice


    to me and my sister, so she will invite the neighbors to our house..." rk''s voice was bursting with


    excitement.


    Charles nodded knowingly.


    "Daddy, please doe here then. Shirley and I will introduce you to the guests. Then, even if Mommy


    is angry with you, she has to admit in front of so many people..." Although rk was just a child, he


    was remarkably receptive and sensible for his age.


    Charles'' eyes sparkled with joy as he heard rk''s words. He kissed his son.


    "Good boy, I will listen to you and do as you said." And thus Charles agreed to be an aplice in the


    ploy rk had contrived.


    When Sheryl came downstairs, she found rk giggling in his father''s embrace. This was what she


    always dreamed about. Her heart melted at seeing that the smile on rk''s face had returned. Yet she


    appeared to be indifferent as if all this was none of her business.


    "Honey, have you gotten up?" Charles didn''t conceal his love for Sheryl. Rather he greeted her


    intimately in a spontaneous manner right in front of rk.


    Sheryl hadn''t expected Charles to behave like that and nced at rk, feeling awkward.


    However, rk was clever enough to save the moment. He chuckled as he covered his eyes with his


    hands, pretending that he couldn''t see anything.
