Chapter 1948 I''m At Your Disposal.
Sheryl had never expected Charles to re up like this in front of so many people. She felt awkward.
She was angry but didn''t know what to say.
Charles was also equally furious. He wondered how Sheryl had attracted a man in such a short time
during her stay in Australia. The feeling of familiarity that this man was showing towards Sheryl was
depressing and intolerable for Charles. He could not take it, and he was worried.
Sheryl red at Charles without exchanging even a word with him. Then she turned to the guests and
smiled. She tried to conceal her embarrassment and apologized. "Everyone, I am sorry. Please, go
ahead." After speaking, Sheryl waited for the crowd to disperse. Then she grabbed Damian''s arm and
walked in another direction without even casting a nce at Charles as if he didn''t even exist in that
room.
Charles felt heartbroken to see Sheryl ignoring him for another man. Yet he realized that it was not the
right ce and time to deal with this.
In a few moments, Sheryl had disappeared into the crowd and that with an unknown man too. Charles
felt a sting of emptiness in his heart. Yet he had no choice but to wait.
As Damian followed Sheryl, he had noticed her pale face. He asked with concern, "Ms. Xia, are you all
right?"
"Ah, yes. I am fine. I am sorry to have gotten you involved in all this." Sheryl looked at Damian
awkwardly and felt sorry for him.
However, Damian looked more concerned than embarrassed. He gave a reassuring smile to Sheryl
and said, "Never mind. We are friends, right?"
"Yes. Thanks." Sheryl smiled and felt relieved. She felt it was nice that Damian understood her without
having to exin too much.
The two found a ce to sit down. Damian looked at Sheryl and wanted to say something but
hesitated.
After a few moments of silence, Sheryl noticed that he wanted to ask something. She broke the silence
and asked, "Do you want to ask something?"
"Hmm. After all that just happened, you became quiet, so I don''t know if I should ask. Is that man your
kids'' father?" Damian stared at Sheryl expectantly.
He had been aware that he would have to face this problem sooner orter. Yet when finally the
confrontation had happened, he still felt scared.
Damian had held some special feelings for Sheryl since they met that first time.
"He is rk and Shirley''s father. We have gone through a lot, and I don''t have confidence in him now."
Sheryl let out a bitter smile. She didn''t know why, but she always found a good friend in Damian as if
she had known him for long, so she didn''t conceal anything from him.
"Do you still love him?" Damian asked and waited for her answer with bated breath.
Sheryl took a sip of wine and nced at Damian, shaking her head. "I don''t know. Maybe, yes.
Otherwise, we wouldn''t still be tangled up with each other."
"You should follow your heart." Damian managed to say the most diplomatic words. But, inside, his
heart was screeching to say, ''If that man is not fit for you, you should part with him.'' However, he knew
that it was not the right time at the moment. He shouldn''t reveal his feelings so soon.
Not far away, Charles watched Sheryl sharing a table alone with the unknown man. It was unbearable
for him to witness the camaraderie Sheryl shared with Damian.
Charles found a seat from where he could see Sheryl and started to drink alone.
The discord in the party left rk and Shirley in a confused state of mind. They were cheerful that
Charles came to the party. But they were certainly not happy to see that the situation between their
parents had failed to improve.
The kids were unhappy to find Charles in a depressed mood.
"rk, do you think Daddy and Mommy will ever make up?" Shirley said in a sad voice and looked at
her brother.
rk turned from Charles to Shirley. He grabbed his sister''s hand and walked away.
As Charles sat drinking alone, he felt deeply hurt by Sheryl''s behavior. But he failed to notice Sheryl''s
eyes that kept ncing at him. Sheryl noticed that Charles was gloomy, but she still didn''t want to
speak a word with him.
Sheryl kept worrying that Charles would drink too much, yet she pretended to be indifferent.
"Daddy, don''t drink so much," rk remarked as he frowned at Charles.
Looking at rk''s serious expression, Charles put down the ss and smiled at him.
"Don''t worry. I won''t." Charles stroked rk''s head and looked at him affectionately.
However, by this time, Charles was a bit drunk. He had wanted to y with the kids, but as soon as he
got up, he felt dizzy.
Charles tried to hold on to his fleeting consciousness by shaking his head and trying to stand erect on
his feet. rk and Shirley rushed to hold his arms and supported him from both sides.
Soon the trio reached the guest room on the first floor. Charles was a little drunk, but he managed to
walk upstairs on his own.
Sheryl''s eyes fell on Charles as he was going upstairs. She red up and was about to stop them, but
she was interrupted by the neighbors who hade to greet her.
They were all praises by how beautiful Sheryl was. Someone asked her about the decoration of the
house.
In this course, Sheryl was unable to make her way after the kids and Charles. She had no other choice
than to watch helplessly as Charles walked upstairs.
After reaching the first floor, Charles stood still in the corridor for a while.
"Which one is Sher''s bedroom?" Last time, Charles had insisted on hugging Sheryl and sleeping with
her for one night, but it had been an ident. At that time, they hadn''t gone upstairs. They had stayed
in the guest room on the first floor.
Shirley pointed to the second room in the front and smiled. "Daddy, that is Mommy''s room. rk and I
live in the room next door."
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
"Shirley, you are a very good girl." Charles caressed Shirley''s cheek and then went to Sheryl''s
bedroom led by the two children.
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, Charles felt warmed. The room gave him a very home-
like feeling. At least, it proved that Sheryl was still the same as before, so he firmly believed that as
long as he stayed with her, she would forgive him sooner orter.
rk and Shirley were d to see that Charles entered Sheryl''s room. Especially rk, who thought
that his daddy was drunk. If he stayed with his mommy for one night, they would make it up the next
morning.
In Sheryl''s bedroom
"Daddy, just stay in Mommy''s room tonight." rk shook Charles'' arm and felt excited.
Charles looked at rk and couldn''t help butugh. He thought his son just took after him. He was
indeed too receptive for his age.
"Okay, I am at your disposal." Charles sat on the bedside and looked overjoyed.
