Chapter 698 The Mountain Resort


    Charles felt slightly upset. He knew that although Sheryl already got closer to him, she still treated him


    as an acquaintance. That was still far from what he really wanted.


    But it didn''t matter. Since he was able to take Sheryl here today, he also believed that could achieve his


    goal someday. In time, he could get together with Sheryl again.


    He glimpsed at Sheryl before he said, "Stop what you''re doing for now. I''m going to take you out to


    dinner."


    "Now?" Sheryl paused for a while and replied surprisingly. Charlie held Sheryl''s hand and looked up to


    her with his innocent eyes. "Sher, I am hungry. Let''s go eat now."


    "Okay..." Sheryl shrugged. She couldn''t refuse Charlie''s innocent pleading look.


    Charlesughed inside him. Charlie was absolutely an incredible help at some important times like this.


    Charles continued to carry Shirley in his arms since he already picked her up earlier. Sheryl, on the


    other hand, held Charlie''s hand and walked slowly after Charles. From afar, one would think that they


    were one happy family.


    When they passed by Alice''s room, Sheryl asked, "Where are David and Alice? How about we invite


    them to join us for dinner?"


    "No, we don''t need to invite them," Charles said in a calm voice. It took him great efforts to have such


    an opportunity to be alone with Sheryl. How could he allow someone to be a gooseberry? Even if he


    knocked on their door and invited them, they would definitely not dare to say yes.


    For Sheryl not to notice his reluctance, he immediately added, "They must be out by now. As a love-


    struck couple, they didn''t get a lot of chances to go out together. So, now that they got their chance, we


    shouldn''t be gooseberries."


    "It seems that you are a boss with a big heart," Sherylmented with a smile.


    When the four of them reached outside of the house, a service car was already waiting for them. As


    they got in, Sheryl suddenly asked, "Is the restaurant far from here?"


    "You''ll know it when we get there," Charles answered meaningfully.


    Five minutester, the car stopped. When they got off, Sheryl found out that they were in a vast


    farnd surrounded by all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables. There was also a wide river not too


    far. Standing in the middle of the field, one could catch a whiff of harvests carried by the wind.


    "Wow! This ce is great!" Sheryl eximed in excitement.


    She had always wished to find a ce like this to live in. When she was not busy, she could grow


    vegetables and flowers. She believed that, only in a slow pace could one enjoy life truly.


    But since she was living in a bustling city, how could she find such a bucolic ce like this?


    "Do you like it here?" Charles asked vigorously. Seeing Sheryl''s happy expression, Charles knew that


    he''d chosen the right ce.


    "Yes, I like it here!" Sheryl nodded her head enthusiastically.


    "I''m d you liked it," Charles said with a smile as he looked lovingly to Sheryl. "Let''s order?" Charles


    pointed at the field and said, "The ingredients of our order will being from this farm. What would


    you like to eat? I can pick the ingredients for you."

    "Really?" Sheryl''s eyes glistened with too much excitement. "No, I want to pick them myself," she


    answered as her eyesnded on the purple eggnts near them. She couldn''t help licking her lips as if


    a very delicious meal were in front of her.


    Since this was her first time harvesting fruits and vegetables by herself, she couldn''t contain her


    excitement. She happily picked some eggnts and put them in a basket. Next were the lentils that


    caught her eyes. If the basket could only have more space, she wouldn''t stop picking more vegetables.


    She only realized that she had picked too much when she stopped and checked her basket. She got


    anxious thinking that they wouldn''t be able to eat them all.


    Beside the farnd stood a wooden house which looked like a restaurant. Charles led them to enter.


    The waiter immediately approached them upon seeing them entering the door. He greeted them before


    he said, "Mr. Lu, as we knew that you areing, we have already stewed the fish earlier. Should I


    serve it now?"


    "Okay, serve it," Charles replied briefly. He handed over the basket to the waiter and said, "Cook these


    vegetables and serve them quickly."


    "Okay, Mr. Lu," the waiter answered respectfully. After the waiter had left, Charles brought Sheryl and


    the two kids to a table beside the window. Sheryl looked around and asked, "Why aren''t Kitty and the


    other models here?"


    "Do you want to eat with them?" Charles asked while pouring tea to Sheryl''s ss.


    Sheryl shook her head and replied, "Of course not! I just thought that... we would be eating altogether."


    Charles cast a nce at Sheryl and said, "If you don''t want to, you don''t need topromise anything.


    Take a sip of the tea." Charles managed to change the topic.


    Sheryl tried it and asked, "Is this a ptisan?"


    "Yes, it is." Charles nodded slightly. "The barley in it was grown here. I think you''ll like it."


    "Everything here is so good. I never knew there is a ce like this here in Y City." Sheryl expressed her


    strong appreciation of the ce.


    "Oh..." Sheryl suddenly remembered how courteous the waiter was to Charles earlier. So she asked


    half-jokingly, "Does this ce belong to you?"


    "No, this ce is not mine." Charles shook his head lightly. "Do you remember Eric?" he added. "He is


    the owner of the hotel you stayed before."


    "Yes, I remember him. Does he own this too?" Sheryl was a little surprised.


    "Yes, he does. But I am also one of the shareholders here so you can do whatever you want." Charles


    nodded and replied to her softly. Sheryl could no longer hold her delight upon hearing Charles'' words.


    After a few minutes, the waiter served their dishes: arge pot of casserole and fragrant fish soup, all of


    which made them salivating. Shirley ate arge bowl of soup. Even Charlie ate more soup than ever.


    Sheryl contentedly finished a bowl of soup and eximed, "The soup is so delicious. If this ce is just


    near our home, I''ll definitelye here every day to have this."


    "I can take you here anytime you feel like drinking this kind of soup," Charles sincerely offered. But


    Sheryl chose not to respond anymore and indulged herself in eating.


    She thought that since the fish soup with tofu was unexpectedly delicious, how much more were the


    fresh vegetables that she personally picked. Excitedly, she gave it a try. And she was right, this was by


    far the most delicious vegetables she had ever eaten.


    "Is it delicious?" Charles looked at Sheryl with a smile. As long as Sheryl liked it, all his efforts were


    worth it.


    Meanwhile, while Sheryl was enjoying her dinner with Charles and the kids, Kitty was left fuming in her


    room.


    She thought that if no one would be willing to share a room with Sheryl, she would feel too ashamed to


    stay. All she really wanted was for Sheryl to go back to the city. However, she didn''t expect that Charles


    would save her and would even let her stay with his secretary.


    After making some inquiries, she found out that Charles was one of the biggest shareholders of this


    mountain resort. What was worst was, Sheryl didn''t even stay in the same building as them.


    She spent a long time looking for Sheryl but unfortunately, she couldn''t really find them. She only saw


    Alice and David having dinner together at the dining hall. She had a strong feeling that Sheryl was


    already having dinner with Charles this time.


    "I knew it!" one model eximed excitedly. Those models who got along with Kitty very well got


    together in her room and discussed how to cause troubles for Sheryl.
