Chapter 770 A Strange Dream


    Sheryl and I burst into joyousughter even as tears streamed down their faces. They lovingly


    med each other for their happy tears.


    Recovering, they immediately began to catch up on all the news with each other. Looking at Shirley,


    who had been very silent throughout, I asked worriedly, "Sheryl, I have heard all that happened with


    Anthony and how Shirley has been affected by that. Are you okay?"


    Sheryl answered her with a bitter smile, "I do not have the luxury of analyzing my emotions. I do not


    care about how I feel now. Shirley is way more important and life goes on."


    ncing at Shirley, she continued, "Moreover, I believe the situation is going to get better soon. Shirley


    is undergoing treatment under a good doctor."


    "Sure, things will definitely improve," I agreed. "If you need any help, do not hesitate to ask me. I am


    always here for you."


    "I know you love me and will always help me." Sheryl smiled back and said, "How can I hide anything


    from you? You will be the first to know if anythinges up."


    She then brought the topic back to I. "How are you? How have you been doing all these years? Is


    everything fine with Aron?"


    "I am fine and doing well," I replied with a feigned smile. Sheryl immediately sensed bitterness


    behind the smile as she had known I for many years. She persisted, "You don''t look like you are


    fine. What is the matter, I? Is it Aron? Is there some tension with him?"


    Staring at Aron who was ying with the children, she continued, "If he ever dares bully you, you must


    let me know. I will handle him."


    "Sheryl, what are you talking about?" I replied. It was then that she truly felt that her reckless friend


    was back.


    "If that is not the case, then what is the matter with you? What has happened?" Sheryl was insistent.


    "Why don''t youe clean with whatever is troubling you. I can''t bear your unhappiness."


    "I am upset on ount of Colin," I replied helplessly. Sheryl remembered that Colin was a family


    member of Aron''s uncle. She had met him in the past. Frowning in bewilderment, she proceeded to


    ask, "What about Colin? What has he done? Is he bullying you again?"


    "He… He is flirting with Becky." Sheryl was stunned at I''s words. "How... how can that be? Isn''t


    Becky..."


    "Exactly," I sighed. "How can I not feel disgusted?"


    I gave a wry smile and replied, "I am not sure if Colin is behaving intentionally like this or not. He


    appears together with Becky in front of me every day. Seeing them like that saddens me a lot."


    I turned angrier as she dwelt on Colin''s misconduct. "I have talked to Aron and we have decided to


    move out. Then, Colin will have no excuse toe to my ce, right?"


    Sheryl cautioned her, "It may not work. I do not want to discourage you, but I think a person like Colin


    will not give up so easily. He has no morals nor limits."


    "Then let the future take care of this matter." I sighed and continued, "That is the only solution we


    could think of. Move out and then if trouble still follows us, we will worry about it then."


    As they chatted on, Charles came with Charlie. The two girls saw Charlie and quickly ran to wee


    him. Aron felt abandoned. Seeing his daughter rush to greet Charlie with so much of enthusiasm, Aron


    felt so jealous.


    Unhappily heined to Charles in a sarcastic tone, "Thank you so much for gracing us with your


    presence finally."


    "I am so sorry," Charles replied with a smile. "There was a heavy traffic jam on the main road so we got


    dyed. Why didn''t you all start eating?"


    "How could we start without you, the big man, joining us at the table." I also joined Aron in mocking


    Charles.


    Then, they all went in for dinner. As they ate, Charles and Aron discussed business, while Sheryl and


    I were just shooting the breeze as they had been doing several years ago.


    They had three years worth of news to catch up on. It seemed they had so much to talk about.


    I invited Sheryl toe to thepany the next day. At first Sheryl wanted to say "no". It had been


    three years and she almost forgot that she had been involved with project nning. Now she felt


    scared to return to her earlier work.


    But I insisted. Looking at Sheryl, she said, "Sher, it is yourpany. You''re not nning to make me


    run thepany for you for the rest of my life, are you?"


    "Is there anything wrong if I n to do that?" Sheryl replied with a smile, "You''re doing a great job. I feel


    very reassured that thepany is in your hands."


    "She cannot. I will not allow it!" Aron entered their conversation. "We are still nning for a second


    child."


    "Go away." I pushed Aron away and turned to Sheryl. "Sher, I know it will be hard for you to return to


    your old life so quickly. Don''t worry. There is no rush. It is just that it has been three years. All the old


    employees miss you a lot. You can just drop in to say hello to them. As to when exactly you want to


    rejoin work, I won''t force you. I''ll always be there for you and support you."


    Sheryl felt I was right. It had been three years. Indeed, she had to go back to thepany to take a


    look. She couldn''t just leave I to manage everything alone.


    She remembered she had promised Charles that she would take good care of thepany when he


    had entrusted thepany to her. She had never anticipated then that she would be away for three


    years.


    Looking into I''s eyes, Sheryl said, "Fine, I will drop in tomorrow just to have a look and spend only a


    few hours there. I''m still not ready for work."


    "Okay." I nodded. She understood that Sheryl was just getting adjusted and would need more time


    toe to terms with everything that was transpiring.


    Sheryl was also worried for she had just signed a contract with George''spany. They might not let


    her go so easily.


    After dinner, I handed Sheryl over to Charles and said, "I''ll leave Sher to you. You must make sure


    that she gets home safe and sound. Alright?"


    "Rest assured." Charles replied with a smile, "Take care of yourself and reach home safe."


    As they looked down, they saw Amanda holding Charlie''s hand, reluctant to let go. She spoke to


    Charlie in a tearful voice, "Charlie, I will miss you. I don''t want to leave you and go."


    This scene upset Aron deeply. He wondered if he would be able to ept it when his daughter fell in

    love when she became older. He would definitely break down, wouldn''t he?


    After seeing their friends off, Charles and Sheryl didn''t return home but took a walk in a nearby park.


    The two kids were walking hand in hand in the middle, while Charles and Sheryl were on either side of


    them. It was a pleasant summer evening and many people were walking around or sitting on the


    benches.


    Sheryl thought of her strange dream just then, so she asked Charles, "Charles, how old is Charlie


    now? When is his birthday?"
