Chapter 515 Sheryl’s Worries


    Despite feeling embarrassed, Sheryl repeated her words. Upon seeing her flustered face, Anthony


    quickly grabbed and held her in his arms. "Sher, your words make me see how much you value this


    rtionship," Anthony said in a loving tone. "And it truly makes me happy to know that we can spend


    our lives together in the future," he further added.


    "You are truly a naughty man!" Sheryl replied at the sight of the happy, innocent-looking man. Anthony


    smiled earnestly and held Sheryl closer after hearing her reply.


    After some time, Anthony pulled Sheryl from his arms and stared at her with serious eyes and


    said,"Sheryl, as a physician, I am confident that I can support you and Shirley financially and share the


    burden with you. At the very least, you can trust me with this."


    "Anthony, I have no doubts in your capabilities. I know you have a stable job and you''re well-off. But


    please try to understand, I am a single mother and was an independent woman before I met you,"


    Sheryl said. A gleam of confidence and sincerity was seen in her eyes. Sighing, she continued,"Do you


    have any idea why our rtionship has been filled with doubts and distress from the very beginning?"


    Stunned by her question, Anthony couldn''t find the right words to say. Seeing her so eager to hear his


    reply, Anthony finally said,"I can promise my lifelongmitment to you, regardless of what the world


    says." His words sounded upset, but determined.


    Upon hearing him say these words, Sheryl was moved by the sincerity of his promise. But her feelings


    of doubt and fear made her say in reply,"My past, including whether I was married or not, is nothing to


    me." "But the reality that I am a single mother is something I couldn''t hide or try to change," Sheryl


    added in conclusion to the doubts she was feeling.


    After finishing her words, she took a deep sigh and made a woeful nce at her daughter''s room.


    "Anthony, you are a well-off bachelor. You deserve someone who is richer and more beautiful to justify


    your family''s name. What I am trying to say is that a single mother like me is not a good match for you,"


    Sheryl said.


    All this time, Anthony''s parents were against their son''s rtionship with Sheryl. They became more


    furious upon learning their possible marriage.


    If only Craig were alive, then their possible marriage would easily be a reality.


    However, not even Craig knew the existence of Sheryl.


    Sheryl''s real given name was actually Autumn. But even this remained a secret to Craig.


    By hiding her real identity, Anthony never would''ve thought how much trouble this could bring on him.


    "I understand. Now, I can finally see why you are caught in a dilemma," he replied. If Sheryl were given


    the chance to be Anthony''s mother, she would definitely do the same. She would also be furious that


    her son was marrying a single mother. How could he choose someone like her despite other women


    with better qualities and standard of living?


    Anthony''s parents'' disagreement to their rtionship was perfectly understood by Sheryl. She


    respected their views so much that she could even give up Anthony if he were to find a better and


    perfect woman for him.


    "But Sheryl, really, you don''t need to worry about such trivial things," Anthony added. "I am a grown up


    now and I can make my own decisions, including marrying you. If my parents disagree with us, I''ll


    move out to live with you and Shirley, and I won''t go back to my parents'' home." Anthony concluded


    while staring directly at Sheryl''s eyes. Sheryl''s eyes widened by the words she just heard.


    "That is absolute nonsense!" Sheryl eximed in disapproval. "Your family means a lot to you! I can''t

    even give you half of what they gave you!" she further added furiously. Shirley, still enraged by the


    words she just heard, continued,"A year ago, you were unable to make it to your dying grandpa''s


    bedside just before he passed away. And then you''ve remained depressed for half a year! How could


    you say that?"


    Anthony, after reflecting to the words he just said, managed to swear,"Shirley, right now, you are more


    important than my family. I don''t see any other better option than this."


    Sheryl, despite being moved again by Anthony''s perseverance to make their rtionship prosper,


    remained calm and continued to talk sense over him,"Anthony, if I were to marry you, I wish to receive


    best wishes from your parents too. I don''t want to have a wedding without gaining their favor."


    Sheryl was a woman of virtue. After hearing her say these words, Anthony was moved by her opinion.


    But he couldn''t deny that getting his parents'' approval was a difficult task.


    Despite working hard to gain his parents'' approval to his rtionship with Sheryl, he, not even once,


    seeded.


    "Anthony, I would like to promise you one thing. I will work hard to bring Shirley up to be the best


    woman she could be. Of course, I will do the same for myself so that I can be fitting for you in the


    eyes of your parents and other people. I will definitely put an end to those endless gossips," Shirley


    confidently said. ted by what he heard, Anthony tried to talk to Sheryl in a mocking tone,"Sher, why


    don''t you just turn a deaf ear to those baselessments?"


    Anthony''s words were meant to boost Sheryl''s confidence and avoid such trivial thoughts. However, his


    suggestion made her feel more determined to prove those people wrong.


    "But your parents have the same opinions," she eximed. "In their eyes, I''m merely a gold digger.


    Even if I married with you, your parents would still look down upon me. With that, Shirley would be


    slighted without the due love and care," Sheryl continued.


    Pausing right after saying these words, Sheryl added,"Honestly, I don''t have any idea what to do when


    that timees. As a result, I have to work harder so that I am able to hold my head high in front of


    your parents."


    Anthony felt nothing but pure happiness from Sheryl''s words. He then cunningly said,"So right after


    what you just said, does this mean that you now promise to marry me?" His face gleamed in


    anticipation to what Sheryl''s reply would be.


    "Really? How could you think so?" Sheryl jokingly said to tease her boyfriend. With her face blushing


    red from embarrassment, Sheryl uttered,"How could you expect me to say yes when you haven''t even


    knelt down and brought a ring? Make a proposal first, and I will give some time to think it over."


    "I knew it! I do have a good chance of getting a sweet yes from you with a proposal," he replied with


    excitement. Despite all that they had went through, he knew that there was no other woman for him but


    Sheryl. Not being able to contain his excitement at the thought of their possible marriage, Anthony


    grasped her hands. He felt like he was the luckiest man on earth at that time.


    After saying her words, Sheryl tried so hard to bury her embarrassment and simply smiled at Anthony


    for her reply. She then added with her lips curling to a sweet smile,"Well, you can try if you want to."


    He was truly overjoyed by the idea of having a family with his beloved woman. Sheryl, on the other


    hand, tried to shift the subject and talked about her uing fashion show.


    "Anthony, would you please support me as a model for that fashion show? I badly want to be a part of


    it," she asked. Sheryl paused and continued,"This offer is a huge deal with great benefit in all aspects.


    There is no way I would let this slip!"


    Hesitant by the thought of it, Anthony said while wavering,"Sheryl, I know how badly you want it, but…"


    "I know what you are about to say", Sheryl replied, cutting Anthony''s words. Pausing for a moment,


    Sheryl continued saying,"Even before we started dating, I had been living in Y City for so many years. I


    also know how much you don''t like the ce for carrying my weals and woes. Also..."


    Sheryl paused, took a deep breath and continued,"Also, I know how uneasy you are while thinking that


    Shirley''s father might live there. Am I right of all these, Anthony?" Sheryl ended while staring at her


    boyfriend''s worried eyes that had a slight pain in it..
