Chapter 795 Please Come Back To Me


    Just as Sheryl was about to leave with Arthur, Sue rushed to them, mumbled an apology, and hid


    behind Laura.


    With how things had turned out, she really had no idea what else to do other than to say "sorry."


    Sheryl didn''t answer Sue, nor did she look at Anthony. She simply left. She briefly saw Carlson talking


    to Laura about something, but she couldn''t hear what. As soon as she stepped out of the main gate of


    the police station, Anthony followed her.


    He held her by the elbow, trying to stop her from leaving. "Sher, wait a second," he called out.


    "Is there anything else?" she asked. Her tone was indifferent. Her eyes didn''t give away much, but he


    knew she was hurt.


    Looking at her, he couldn''t help but feel heartbroken.


    When they were a couple, they used to be so close. But now, while he couldn''t point out the exact


    reason, there was a huge wall between them.


    "How dare you talk to her? Don''t you feel just even a little bit ashamed?" Arthur spat, cing himself in


    front of Sheryl to shield her from Anthony. "I haven''t settled things that happened in the past with you.


    You should be thankful that I didn''t hunt you down. Yet you again caused such a huge mess, and you


    have the audacity to face Sher? Do you really think you can just bully our family as much as you


    want?"


    "Grandpa Arthur, I..." Anthony began, shame shing on his face. Although he couldn''t answer Arthur''s


    questions, he really wanted to talk to Sheryl.


    "You what?" Arthur cut him off. "In the past, I believed in you and trusted you. I thought you were a


    responsible and caring man. But now? All I see is a coward. I will never let someone like you get close


    to Sher. Don''t you ever think you can be with her again.


    I''ll let you go this time, but only out of respect for your grandfather. If you evere near Sher again,


    you won''t like what I''ll do. I will not hesitate even if your grandfather was my friend." He sneered at


    Anthony, his nerves on fire with anger.


    Anthony tried to exin, hoping he''d be able to talk despite Arthur''s anger. "Grandpa, I know I did


    wrong today. But I''m not thinking of doing anything but just talk. I just want to talk to Sheryl. That''s all."


    "Talk? What could you possibly want to talk about with Sher?" He brushed off Anthony''s request and


    continued, "Sher is better off without you. Go home and keep an eye on that evil mother of yours. Tell


    her to keep away from my granddaughter. That is the best you can do."


    "Grandpa Arthur..." Anthony insisted. He felt ashamed that he did not know how to continue. He knew


    he didn''t deserve a chance to talk but he needed to, so he did thest thing he could think of and


    turned to Sheryl. "Sher, please. I..."


    He paused to gather his strength and continued, "I just want to talk. Even just for a little while."


    Sheryl just stared at him with vacant eyes. She couldn''t find anything worth talking to Anthony for. But


    despite the hurt she was feeling, she couldn''t help but want to hear what he had to say. She turned to


    her grandfather and touched his arm infort. "Grandpa, could you wait for me in the car? I want to


    hear what he has to say. I promise I''ll be with you soon."


    "Sher..." Arthur looked at Sheryl, as if begging her to see reason. Although he was certain that there


    was nothing left between the two of them to discuss, he listened to Sheryl''s wishes and decided to


    leave them to talk. "If that''s what you want. But make it quick."


    Sheryl nodded in agreement. "I will."


    Arthur knew that his granddaughter was kindhearted. Moreover, he knew that she could very well tell


    what was right and what was wrong. With how things turned out, he knew that there wasn''t any more


    room for Anthony and Sheryl to be able to fix what they once had.


    As soon as Arthur was out of earshot, Sheryl turned to Anthony, her face devoid of any emotion. "Didn''t


    you say you have something to say? Go ahead."


    Anthony stared at her before starting, "Sher, I..." Anthony stammered. When he rushed to her a few


    minutes earlier, he had a lot of things in mind of what he wanted to tell her. But now that he was


    standing in front of her and actually being given a chance to talk, he had no idea what to say.


    But he tried anyway. "A couple of days ago, I heard about what happened to Shirley. Is she okay?"


    "She''s fine," she replied inly. "Didn''t you see her? Why did you still ask?"


    Anthony frowned at her tone. "Sher, why are you talking to me that way?" he said.


    "How else am I supposed to speak to you?" Sheryl scoffed. "Do you want me to talk to you gently and


    nicely? Do you want me to make you feelfortable?"


    "I didn''t mean that..." he replied in embarrassment. "I know that my mom has caused you a lot of hurt


    and trouble. I have no idea why things turned out this way. Sher. Please trust me. I really like you. I


    have liked you since the first day we met three years ago. And I will do everything for you, to make you


    feel happy and loved. If you want, we can leave this ce with Shirley and nevere back, no matter


    what my mom says."


    He looked at Sheryl and continued, "We will be happy. Just the three of us. That''s my dream."


    He held Sheryl''s hands and begged, "Please, Sher. Don''t leave me. I promise that from now on, I''ll take


    good care of you. I won''t let anyone hurt you or make you..."


    "Enough!" Sheryl screamed as she shook her hands off Anthony''s grip. "Do you really think that we can


    fix our rtionship after all that happened?" she asked in disbelief.


    "Of course we can," Anthony assured her. "If you want, we can forget about the past and start over," he


    guaranteed, reaching for her hands again.


    But Sheryl was quick and dodged his hold. "But the problem is, I don''t want to," she rejected. "Why


    would I ever choose to be with you again, Anthony? Don''t you get it? There are just some things in this


    world that can''t be fixed. After all that has happened. Do you really still think we have a chance of fixing


    what we had? Do you honestly think that I want to? I''m not as stupid and carefree as I was before. I


    won''t let you hurt me again." As she finished, she put some distance between them.


    "My mom caused everything, didn''t she?" Anthony asked. "I know my mom caused all of those


    troubles. She''s my mom, but if you say that you never want to see her again, we can leave this ce.


    Just me and you. Consider it done. What else do you want me to do?"


    As she let his words sink in, Sheryl just stared at him in silence.


    Anthony hesitated for a while but he needed to know. "Is it because of Charles?" he asked with caution.


    He stared as Sheryl, hoping to see even a trace of affirmation, but she wasn''t giving anything away. "I


    know it''d be hard for you to break up with him. After all, you''ve lived together for quite a while. But how


    about us? We''ve been together for three years, Sher. You know how much I love you, and what I''m


    willing to do for you. Please just give me another chance. Trust me. I will take care of you this time.


    Please," he begged.


    But Sheryl remained unmoved. "Are you done?" Sheryl looked at him and felt that they had be


    even further apart.


    "No, I''m not," Anthony replied with resolution. "I''ll follow you wherever you go. I will not stop until I hear
