Chapter 696 What Is A Boyfriend


    Although Sue drank a lot, she was still sober. She realized that the man Anthony was talking about was


    Charles.


    He had also talked about this matter to her thest time he had gotten drunk. She had been doubting


    the rtionship between Charles and Sheryl since then. And now, Anthony seemed to confirm


    everything.


    She looked at Anthony and asked for confirmation, "Are you talking about Charles?"


    "Who else?" he answered with a sneer. Anthony became more sour upon hearing Charles'' name. He


    asked Sue in an obscure tone, "I know you still love him. But why? Can you tell me why I''m not good


    enough for you? Why can''t I beat him in your heart?"


    He smiled bitterly and continued, "Besides, you also let Shirley get so close to him. I''m really


    disappointed in you."


    Anthony cried for a while and then beganughing. "For the three years that we were together, I feel


    like a fool for dreaming that one day, you''ll be marrying me."


    Anthony suddenly gripped Sue''s hands and eagerly asked, "Sher, you will marry me, right?"


    Although Sue was aware that Anthony had only mistaken her for Sheryl, she had no heart to hurt him.


    So, she looked at him intently and nodded her head. "Don''t worry, I will never leave you unless you


    leave me first," she added with a voice full of assurance.


    That was actually Sue''s inner thoughts. She would never leave Anthony until he did it first.


    However, she knew that her words didn''t make any sense.


    "Really?" Anthony was so pleased to hear Sue''s answer. He hugged her tightly, feeling like a happy kid.


    Sue was stunned for a moment but eventually hugged him back.


    Although she knew that Anthony''s gesture was only driven by alcohol, she still didn''t want to escape


    from his embrace.


    After a good long while, Sue felt Anthony had fallen asleep. She could hear his light snore. She


    removed his arms around her and helped him lie down on the sofa.


    Anthony was still calling on Sheryl''s name while sleeping. Sue couldn''t help but smile bitterly.


    She fetched a quilt from her bedroom and covered Anthony. When she saw him sleepingfortably,


    she went back to her room to have some rest.


    Meanwhile, Sheryl was also preparing to sleep after reading some bedtime stories to Shirley when her


    cellphone suddenly rang.


    She smiled unconsciously when she saw Charles'' name on the screen. She immediately answered it.


    "Why are you calling me? It''s alreadyte," she said.


    "Nothing special actually," Charles replied. He was actually very upset because he wasn''t able to get


    any information from Anthony about his missing child. He just wanted to have someone to talk to. "I just


    want to let you know that I''ve arrived home now," he added.


    "Okay, I''m d to hear that," Sheryl answered with a smile. Then she added, "Charlie also called


    Shirley a while ago and told her."

    "Oh, really?" He felt a little embarrassed. He didn''t know that Charlie had already reported to Shirley.


    Now, he was at loss for words.


    There was a long silence on the line. Sheryl waited for a while but Charles still didn''t speak up. "Do you


    have anything else to say?" she asked.


    "I will pick you and Shirley up tomorrow," Charles also asked at the same time Sheryl spoke. She let


    out a softugh because they both spoke at the same time. Then she nodded her head and answered,


    "Okay. I''ll make breakfast for you."


    "That would be great," Charles agreed with a wide grin. "Anyway, it''s toote now. You must go to bed.


    Good night," he added.


    "Good night." Sheryl was about to hang up when Charles suddenly spoke again, "Sheryl..."


    "Yes?" Sheryl asked in puzzlement.


    "Can''t you..." Charles paused for a while. Then he continued, "Can''t you really remember anything


    about your past?" Charles was finally able toplete his question after hesitating for a long while.


    Sheryl''s face dimmed and she got silent for a while. Some memories of the past would suddenly sh


    in her mind recently. But all of them seemed to be just broken pieces of her memory. Although they


    would always involve Charles, she couldn''t put them altogether toplete a certain scene.


    "Why do you want to know?" she dubiously asked after a moment of silence.


    "There''s really no special reason why I asked. Just never mind it," Charles answered. Charles could tell


    that Sheryl suddenly became uneasy so he exined more, "I was just curious about whether the


    medicine you took was really so effective."


    Then he immediately changed the topic before Sheryl could say more. His rtionship with her had


    been getting better and better and he didn''t want to ruin it anymore.


    "I must hang up now. Have a good rest. I''ll see you tomorrow morning." Charles then hung up


    afterwards.


    The next morning, Sheryl got up early. She put on a beautiful dress and applied some makeup


    carefully. Shirley, who was eagerly watching her, also put on some lipstick, imitating what Sheryl did.


    Sheryl couldn''t help butugh when she noticed that Shirley''s mouth was smeared in red. She wiped it


    with a tissue lightly.


    After fixing herself, Sheryl went to the kitchen to prepare some sandwiches for Charles and Charlie.


    She also heated the milk so it would be ready when they arrived. At exactly half past seven, Charles


    knocked on her door.


    Charles gazed in awe at Sheryl''s beautiful new look. He couldn''t help but glimpse on her from time to


    time.


    Sheryl felt a little embarrassed so she asked, "Why do you keep on looking at me?"


    "Sher looks so beautiful," Charlie answered for her father. Then he added, "You look very different from


    before."


    Sheryl didn''t usually wear makeup on normal days. She didn''t really care much about her looks. Not


    until today.


    Shirley still felt annoyed since Sheryl removed the lipstick on her mouth so sheined to Charles,


    "Sher put on some makeup this morning but she didn''t allow me to do so. She even removed the color


    on my lips."


    Charles burst into aughter. He felt ted thinking that Sheryl beautified herself for him because it


    only meant that he was also important to her.


    Sheryl''s face blushed in embarrassment. To escape from the topic, she urged the father and son to


    have their breakfast.


    Although they were allowed to bring their family members during the hike, other models just came


    alone. All of them were young and single women who were dreaming to be Charles'' wife so it was


    already expected that they wouldn''t let their boyfriends tag along. Only Sheryl and Charles took their


    children.


    Charles prepared a bus to send them to the resort in countryside.


    Kitty who was standing in front of the models was so shocked to see Sheryl got off from Charles'' car.


    "Mr. Lu seems to really care so much about Sheryl that he even picked her up. People might really


    think that he is her boyfriend," Kitty satirized with discontent. She crossed her arms in front of her chest


    and arched a brow.


    Sheryl got a little annoyed with Kitty''s nastyment especially when Shirley raised her head and


    asked, "Sher, what is a boyfriend?"


    "Let me tell you, little girl," Kitty butted in. "A boyfriend is a man that could hold a woman''s hands, kiss


    her, and spend a life with her."
