Chapter 637 Break With The Family
Laura cast an indifferent nce at the cosmetic box and threw it on the table. She turned to Anthony
and said,"I''m going to have a meal with a friend. Can you alsoe with me? Our family has not gone
out for a meal in a very long time."
"Fine, I''ll join you mom," Anthony answered. Then he said,"Mom, apart from the cosmetic box, Sher
also sent some scarves and handbags for you. Look at them."
Anthony emphasized that they were purchased by Sheryl to soften Laura. He hoped it would change
her bad impression about Sheryl. But Laura''s indifferent reaction indicated that she still did not want to
hear Sheryl''s name.
"It''s quitete. You have had a long day today. You must be extremely tired. It''s better you have a nice
hot bath and go to sleep. We are going to see your Aunt Jasmine tomorrow morning." Laura tried to
end the conversation without any mention of Sheryl.
Anthony arched his eyebrows. It was obvious his whole evening''s effort was wasted. Now Laura was
urging him to go to bed. He felt a little disappointed.
He put aside the gifts he was holding and said seriously to Laura,"Mom, I know you don''t like Sheryl,
but I do. She is the one whom I want to spend the rest of my life with. Sheryl and I respect you. We
hoped to get your permission and blessings for our marriage. But what should I do if you keep such a
negative attitude towards her?"
"Did that woman tell you to visit us?" Laura looked at Anthony with cold eyes. She didn''t even want to
utter Sheryl''s name. "I suspect that you must have an ulterior motive to visit us. You told us you came
home because you missed us. Actually, you just came for that woman. I''m so disappointed in you."
"Mom..." Anthony inquired,"Why you are so unfriendly to Sher? She didn''t do anything wrong!"
"I won''t agree to your marriage even if she were perfect like a goddess," Laura mocked him. Then she
added,"I can''t allow a woman who has given birth to a baby out of wedlock to be your wife. You don''t
have to waste your energy promoting her because I will never agree to this marriage."
Both Laura and Anthony stared stubbornly at each other. Anthony said,"Mom, the only woman I want is
Sheryl. She does have a kid, so what? I love her. I even love her daughter. I am happy to be Shirley''s
stepfather and nobody can change my mind."
Anthony seriously continued,"To be honest, I came back just to announce my marriage with Sheryl. I
will bring her to visit you soon. If you ept her, we will be your devoted son and daughter-inw, and
Shirley will be your granddaughter. If not..."
"What will you do if we don''t ept her?" Carlson inquired. Carlson had wanted to stay out of this
matter. Anthony''s inappropriate words forced him to enter the conversation between his wife and son.
"If you don''t ept her..." Anthony paused for a while and continued,"I will marry Sheryl regardless.
We will live our life away from you and break all rtions with you."
"Anthony!" Laura screamed. She was heartbroken. Her son had uttered such heartless words to her for
the sake of a woman. Smiling bitterly she said,"Are you going to break your rtionship with us for an
unworthy woman? Do you want to destroy the family for the sake of a slut?"
Laura was pained. Looking into Anthony''s eyes, she still couldn''t believe her son could say such words.
Anthony tried to defend himself with more harsh words but he was rendered speechless as he saw his
mother''s sad eyes. After a while, he looked away and said to Laura,"I don''t have a choice. That''s the
only way out if you don''t agree to our marriage."
He was caught in a dilemma. He must make a choice between family and love.
He had waited so long and made many efforts to get Sheryl agree to marry him. He couldn''t wait any
longer. He must marry her as soon as possible.
"Good... Well done!" Laura pped mockingly. She pointed a stern finger at Anthony and said,"We
worked hard all our life to bring you up in luxury and now you treat us in this way!"
She suddenly clutched her chest with a hand and seemed to be very ufortable. Carlson fetched a
bottle of pills from the drawer immediately. He put two pills into her mouth and helped her swallow them
with some water. When she felt better, Carlson pped Anthony on the cheek and shouted,"Bastard!

Do you want to kill your mom? I made a mistake. I shouldn''t have allowed you toe into my house."
Covering his face with his hand, Anthony couldn''t believe what had just happened.
Carlson had never beat him even in his childhood. Anthony never expected his father would p him
when he was nearly thirty years old.
What worried Anthony most was Laura''s condition. She did not look good. After hesitating for a while,
he asked her,"How do you feel now, mom? Is any part of your body in difort?"
"I''m fine. It might disappoint you because it means I will not die yet," Laura said on purpose to anger
Anthony and prevent him from worrying about her.
"Mom..." Anthony rolled his eyes and asked,"What''s wrong with you? Are you experiencing any
difort?"
"So now you are worried about your mom? Why didn''t you think of her health and welfare a few
minutes ago?" Carlson questioned his son. Then he added,"She got this disease many years ago. Do
you really know nothing about it?"
"Dad..." Anthony said with sorrow. "What is the disease? Did you take her for a checkup and treatment
in a good hospital?"
"It is called hyper tension," Carlson answered. And he added after shing an angry nce at
Anthony,"She can''t stand any irritation. If you dare infuriate her once again, I will beat you up!"
Anthony felt very sad. It was like something heavy was weighing on his heart.
As a son, he knew nothing about his mother''s disease until she fell ill because of him. He felt sorry for
his mother and felt like he was the worst son on this earth.
Anthony gripped Laura''s hands and said with sorrow,"Mom, I''m sorry. It is all my fault."
