Chapter 2113 I''ll Drive rk To Dream Garden


    Seeing that Sheryl was in a carefree mood, I''s face suddenly turned serious.


    "Sher, I''m not kidding. I think it''s absolutely vital for you and your kids that you talk with Charles. He has


    no right toe by whenever he wants. This is what you should tell him, so you can be free of him and


    have your own life. You need boundaries! First, he stays away from the children in the future unless he


    asks for your permission to visit the kids. Secondly, he can''t take the kids out of your sight. Besides..."


    I was dead serious about the advice she was giving to Sheryl. Yet, Sheryl thought it was way too


    much, and she didn''t want to listen to it.


    She didn''t even know I had such a serious side to her before.


    "I, I have to drive rk to Dream Gardenter. After that, I will have to take care of Shirley in the


    hospital. I don''t have much time left for being told what to do nor for scheduling time to talk with


    Charles." Sheryl changed the topic.


    I widened her eyes in shock, uttering, "What did you say? Are you telling me that you are going to


    take your son to Dream Garden? I see you still haven''t learned your lesson from yesterday''s matter,


    have you? "


    "What? I,e on. What do you expect me to do? Joan cannot take care of rk right now since


    she has some private matters with her family to deal with. Furthermore, she will be gone for a while. I


    have to take rk somewhere! Do you think I should take rk to the hospital and let him stay there


    with his sister?" Sheryl shook her head, smiling ironically.


    From this, I realized howplicated Sheryl''s situation was.


    "Okay, I understand. Well, how about taking rk to my house. Let me take care of your son. I can..."


    I suggested after a while of hesitation.


    Before I could even finish her words, Sheryl interrupted her and yelled, "Stop it! You can''t do that!"


    "Why? Don''t you trust me? Don''t you believe that I can take care of him?" I demanded in confusion.


    She kept staring at Sheryl, waiting for her answer.


    With a helpless shake of her head, Sheryl exined, "No, I don''t think you can. You are too busy to


    even take good care of your own kid. From what I know, your husband is the one actually taking care of


    your kid. And, yes, I really doubt that you can handle it with two! Also, now that we don''t work together,


    I presume you are busier than before, aren''t you? Are you still confident that you can take care of


    rk?"


    Sheryl didn''t mean to refuse I so meanly. She knew I had only good intentions. However, as I''s


    best friend also, she knew her so well, and she really didn''t think it was a good idea.


    Hearing Sheryl''s words, I sank deeper into her thoughts. Thinking over all that was said, she knew


    what Sheryl had said really made sense. Indeed, having another kid in her house might cause a real


    disaster for her life. The only reason why I wanted to help was that she didn''t agree with Sheryl


    sending rk to Dream Garden.


    Reading what was in I''s head, Sheryl took a deep sigh of relief. She knew that she had finally driven


    those unpractical ideas out of I''s mind.


    "rk, are you ready? We are going to Dream Garden now!" Sheryl turned her head away and called


    out to her son.


    In fact, rk had been listening to the conversation from outside the whole time. Of course, his mom


    didn''t know this, so when he heard his mother call out for him, he replied, "Yes, Mom." As if he hadn''t


    been listening.


    Although rk was still a small kid, he knew that I currently held a grudge against his father. He also


    knew I''s resentment toward his father was because I actually liked him herself. Surprisingly, rk


    didn''t me I. He chose instead to understand her and bear with whatever I had to say about his


    father.


    In fact, he had made up his mind just now. Even if I had persuaded his mother not to let him go to


    Dream Garden, he would have made up any excuse to go there. After all, he hadn''t seen his


    grandmother and his father for such a long time. He missed them very much.


    Sheryl and rk were ready to set out for Dream Garden. Sheryl had expected I to being along


    with them, but when I just stood there in silence, both of them were confused. Sheryl reminded her


    by saying, "I, we are going! How about you? Will youe with us, or will you go back to your


    house?"


    "Sheryl, you don''t have to take rk to Dream Garden." I gritted her teeth and continued, "I''ll drive


    rk to Dream Garden, and you can go directly to the hospital to take care of Shirley."


    "What?" Sheryl felt surprised. In fact, I''s idea was a good one that she should take. But she didn''t


    know what I was up to. She felt suspicious.


    Sheryl''s hesitation annoyed I. She read what Sheryl was thinking at the moment. Rolling her eyes at


    Sheryl, I said, "What? You doubt me?" "Are you worried that I might make your precious son


    disappear halfway to Dream Garden? Or are you worried that I wouldn''t take him to Dream Garden?


    Come on Sheryl! Rx! I promise you that I will do what I said I would. You can take me at my word."


    "All right then." However, Sheryl still felt a little worried, so she added, just in case, "Please watch your


    mouth. Don''t say anything reckless when you get there."


    Sheryl was afraid that I woulde into conflict with Melissa again. After all, Sheryl knew that I


    and Melissa were just like water and oil. They didn''t mix.


    "Don''t worry. I won''t put anyone in a difficult position, neither Charles nor Melissa. I''m not stupid like


    them." She took rk''s hand and led him out of the house.


    rk nodded to Sheryl obediently and promised, "Mom, don''t worry. I will keep an eye on auntie I. I


    won''t let her do anything stupid."


    Sheryl burst intoughter, hearing the words rk had just blurted out. However, I''s reaction was


    the exact opposite. She was not amused.


    Embarrassment was written all over I''s face. With a feigned cough, she scolded, "Hey, naughty Boy!


    What are you talking about? Do I look like a person who will even do or say something stupid?"


    "Aunt I, I didn''t mean that. You must have misheard me."


    "No, I believe I have heard you right. Don''t try to deny it!"


    Sheryl watched them from the doorway as they walked to the car. It was not until Sheryl heard the car


    engine start that she felt relieved and decided to do her own things.


    At Dream Garden


    Nancy was waiting to be the first one to wee Sheryl and rk. She had heard from Melissa that


    rk would be brought here by Sheryl after school.


    She missed rk a lot. rk was a sensible and polite child, and, in Nancy''s eyes, he was adorable.


    Nancy had gone to the market earlier that afternoon. She bought some food that rk liked the most.


    She nned to serve a feast of delicious food in honor of the lovely little boy tonight.


    Yesterday''s events had left Nancy feeling guilty. She had forgotten that Shirley couldn''t eat food that


    was too cold. She used to take care of the children''s diet when they were living at Dream Garden, but


    she didn''t think too much about Shirley''s dietst night when she served the kid.


    Sometimes Nancy felt frustrated about her old age. She worried her memory would be too poor to


    take good care of the kids and stay at Dream Garden. She always held a feeling of guilt deep in her


    heart. However, Charles and Sheryl seemed to keep an open and tolerant mind toward her. Aware of


    her situation, Nancy felt grateful and wanted to do her best to serve the Lu Family.


    While Nancy was lost in her thoughts, she heard a whistle blowing from outside.


    Nancy hurried outside. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Iing first to the door, gripping


    rk''s wrist behind her.


    Beaming gaily, Nancy quickly took a step forward to greet them.


    "rk,e here. Are you hungry?" Nancy was so happy to see rk. She waved at him in delight.


    Then she looked at I and said, "I, I am so happy to see you."


    I smiled back toward Nancy without hesitation. She knew that Nancy was very nice to Sheryl. During


    Sheryl''s hard times in Dream Garden, Nancy had been very supportive of her. I felt so grateful for


    that, as Sheryl once told her.


    "Nancy, I am happy to see you too. I am just wondering if Charles is home?" I immediately asked


    Nancy.


    Looking at I''s condemning expression, rk was afraid that I might let her ego get in the way and


    say something improper. Thus, he pulled at her sleeve and quickly told I, "Aunt I, I am very


    hungry. Can we go into the living room and eat something first?"


    Upon hearing this, I grew suspicious, thinking, ''Such a crafty boy! I know what you are doing right


    now. You''re trying to stop me from being too talkative.''


    Before I could say anything back, rk quickly took Nancy''s hand and dragged both Nancy and I


    towards the living room.


    ''What a smart boy! Fine, you win!'' I could only shake her head with a helpless, forfeiting grin. She


    chose to choke back the words she was going to say.


    After sitting in the living room for a while, I kept looking to see whether Charles or Melissa would


    show up. She wanted to talk with them face-to-face, one-on-one. She felt she couldn''t let Sheryl be


    silent any longer, allowing her to put up with everything alone.


    In fact, she was here to demand justice, but it seemed that she failed to find anyone to vent her anger

    on. She wasn''t able to capture a trace of Charles or Melissa''s presence.
