Chapter 944 Go Shopping


    "I dare you to continueughing like that!" Sheryl felt so awkward and irritated. She would not allow I


    to keep talking about that nonsense anymore. She rolled her eyes towards her as a warning. "If I knew


    you wouldugh at me like that, I definitely would have not told you."


    I felt a little threatened to see Sheryl''s annoyed face, so she tried her best to stopughing. Despite


    her great efforts, she couldn''t contain the feelings on her facial expression. Her lips still curled up and


    her eyes twinkled. Finally, she gave up andmented, "Anyway, I really admire how patient Mr. Lu


    has been to put up with all of that."


    "Fine. You are mocking at us and you''re doing it on purpose. I need you to get out right now. Get out!"


    Sheryl felt really embarrassed that she made I leave the kitchen. She needed a little time to cool


    herself off. She stood by the counter and tried to clear her head. After a few minutes, she finally took a


    deep breath and then set out to cook.


    Sheryl was all covered with sweat after she finished cooking. She immediately headed to the bathroom


    to wash up. It was already time for dinner. Hence, Nancy started to set the table and then proceeded to


    serve the dishes one by one. Sheryl came out of the bathroom and saw Charles talking with Cary in the


    living room. They were too busy to see her approaching. She didn''t want to intrude, so she stood


    silently behind them for a while before she finally interrupted, "Charles, Cary, it''s time for dinner. Why


    don''t you just continue your discussion after dinner?"


    "Good idea." Hearing Sheryl''s soft voice, Charles couldn''t help but smile warmly as he tilted his head to


    acknowledge her presence. Cary also responded in a very pleased tone, "It''s a rare opportunity to taste

    your cooking, Sheryl. I am so grateful that you take the trouble to make us dinner tonight. I just can''t


    wait to try those dishes." He took a glimpse at the table fully set for them.


    Sheryl felt very pleased when she heard Cary''s remark. However, she reminded herself to stay humble


    to hispliment. She replied with a polite smile, "You''re wee, Cary. You really deserve this. I am


    the one who should be grateful for the big favor you did for me in M City before."


    Not too long after, everyone gathered around the dinner table and was ready to enjoy dinner. Most of


    them were couples who sat and talked with each other. Cary felt a little out of ce, which made him


    lose his appetite. He tried his best to stay calm until he couldn''t do it anymore. He finallyined to


    Sheryl, "Sheryl, where is the girl who was beside you when we met the other day? Did you not invite


    her? If she would turn up today, I''d be so lucky to have a partner to talk with. It seems that everyone


    else at this table has someone except for me. All I can do now is to sit here and silently watch how


    these lovers explicitly show their affection." Cary changed his expression to that of a ridiculously sad


    man to stress his point.


    Sheryl couldn''t help but burst intoughter in a reserved voice. Noticing Cary''s expression, she


    immediately covered her ill-mannered face and teased, "You can rest assured that we will try our best


    to be considerate of your feelings. You can also just ignore us and focus on your meal. Please enjoy


    the food as much as you can."


    Charles looked at Cary in disbelief. He called to get his attention with a stern face, "Stop joking. I have


    a lot of important things to discuss with you after dinner."


    The dinner was held to celebrate Sheryl''s agreement to finally move into Dream Garden. Everyone


    invited was familiar with Sheryl and Charles'' love story. Thus, they all sat around the table peacefully


    and spoke their minds without any inhibitions. One of them even boldlymented on how torturous


    the couple''s rtionship had been. Laughter filled the room. Everyone was mocking them for taking too


    long before they finally got together, which was regarded as a waste of time. Charles was manly


    enough to tolerate suchmentaries but Sheryl clearly got bashful.


    However, what made her more embarrassed was that Chris even urged them to have another baby,


    iming that it would be good to give Shirley and rk a new sibling. She felt speechless. She was not


    sure if that should make herugh or cry.


    Sheryl really had enough of their nonsense talk. To make it worse, her exhaustion with Susan''s case


    also made her lose her appetite.


    After dinner, Charles took Cary and locked themselves at the study room for some private


    conversation.


    Sheryl perched herself onto the sofa just next to I. She watched them go into the study room. She


    couldn''t help but feel concerned as she closely kept an eye at the closed door.


    "Sher, I was talking to you. Didn''t you hear me? Why didn''t you respond?" I patted her on the


    shoulder. I realized that while she was talking, Sheryl was not even paying attention to a single word


    that she said. She got really irritated.


    "What did you just say?" Sheryl snapped back to reality and felt sorry that she didn''t know what had


    happened.


    I got infuriated and almost burst out of anger. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before


    she spoke again, "I''m saying that the project wille to an end. I n to pay thepany a visit to


    have a check for that project. Will youe with me tomorrow?"


    She grabbed Sheryl by the hand and advised, "Now that you have left BM Corporation, you''d better get


    back to work as soon as possible."


    "Sounds like a good idea!" Sheryl nodded though she still had second thoughts about it. She agreed


    with the idea since she had nothing to do in Dream Garden. It would be better for her to find something


    to keep herself busy.


    "So I assume you''ve agreed." I was trying to make sure of it. At this moment, the door opened and


    Charles walked out with Cary. Sheryl immediately jumped at her feet upon seeing them. She walked


    towards Charles and asked him anxiously, "How did it go?"


    Seeing how nervous Sheryl was, Cary spoke directly, "Sheryl, about Susan, I have been told on what


    was going on with that girl."


    Sheryl got even more nervous to know whether Cary was willing to help Susan out. She stared at him,


    eager to hear what he was going to say next. She waited for a while and added, "Cary, I didn''t intend to


    cause you any trouble if...if I had another choice. It would be best for her to leave her currentpany


    and to find another ce to work. I couldn''t always keep an eye on her. I have thought about this


    before. I hope you can give her a hand. If you can, then…"


    "Sheryl," Cary interjected. "It will be too early to thank me now. I have just discussed this with Charles


    and promised him that I would try my best to lend my hand to help the poor girl."


    "Great! That''s so nice of you." Sheryl finally felt relieved to hear that. She thought to herself that with


    the help of Cary, it would be much easier. Then She could focus on her own task and stay absorbed in


    her work. Atst, she let out a deep sigh of relief.


    Cary didn''t stay for too long. After he was entrusted to deal with Susan''s affair, he felt worried about her


    and left Dream Garden right away. Having a bad impression on BM Corporation, he decided to help


    Susan end her contract with thepany as soon as possible.


    Followed by Cary''s departure, the other guests waved their goodbyes and went away as well. Finally,


    when only Sheryl and Charles were left, the couple could now enjoy their private time and do


    something together.


    Before Sheryl moved into Dream Garden, her daily life revolved around her children and her work. She


    had always been busy and had too little time to sit down and do nothing. Now, she didn''t have to


    struggle for a living. In Dream Garden, there were servants who were assigned to do house work for


    her and the kids could both go to school. She would only need to pay attention to a few things. Despite


    that, she couldn''t get used to such a carefree life.


    Thanks to I''s suggestion, she would soon end such an unupied lifestyle and could keep herself


    busy again. Tomorrow, she would get back to work in Cloud Advertising Company.


    Charles noticed how bored she had beentely. Although he had a lot of work to take care of, he


    decided to postpone them, so he could work his mind to get Sheryl pleased. Before he grabbed her


    arm and held it tightly, he walked close to her and mysteriously whispered in her ear, "I want to show


    you a ce. Let''s go now."


    "Where are we going?" Sheryl didn''t understand what he meant and waited for him to exin further,


    but he didn''t say a word and just took her hand. She tried to break free from his grip but failed, which


    made her a little annoyed.


    He brought her to the ground floor and headed to the car that was parked at the side of the road. After


    they got in the car, Charles started the engine and sped up. Soon enough he pulled over in front of a


    fancy department store. Sheryl had no idea why he would park there. "Is this the ce where you


    intend to take me to?" she asked him with a puzzled look in her eyes.


    "Yes," Charles nodded slightly. He continued as he took Sheryl by the hand, "I thought you might not


    have enough clothes because I only saw a few pieces in your suitcase the day you moved in. I always


    intended to find time to take you here, so I could buy some nice clothes for you. Today we are both


    avable. By the way, do you think we should buy some clothes for the two kids too?"


    Charles held a sweet smile as he gazed at Sheryl and waited for her to reply. However, she didn''t seem


    surprised or pleased to hear that, so he added, "It''s been a while since we went shopping together.


    Today is a rare opportunity for us. Please don''t look so reluctant. Give me a smile, Sher."


    "It''s really not that necessary." She pulled him by the hand, showing her unwillingness to go inside. She


    had her brows creased as she exined, "I do have enough clothes and so do the kids. You don''t need


    to worry about us. It wouldn''t be necessary to waste money to buy more."


    Charles expression immediately turned serious upon hearing that. He stared at Sheryl and noted, "You


    do know that you are my wife, Mrs. Lu. I will not allow my wife to have so few clothes. What will people


    say if you end up wearing the same clothes every day? Besides, I will take you to a lot of gatherings


    and public wine parties, which will be clearly frequent and unavoidable. Don''t you think you should buy


    more clothes to prepare for these asions?"


    He patted her on the shoulder and gently said, "All right. Let''s go and buy whatever you want. Anyway,


    you have to give me a chance to please you this time."


    After hesitating for so long time, Sheryl couldn''t find any excuse to refuse anymore. Finally, she


    decided to ept Charles'' idea. Actually, she was still thinking that it was okay to wear the same


    clothes every day. She was never that vain to buy too many clothes. The only reason why she chose to


    change her mind to go shopping and buy more clothes was in response to Charles'' love.


    She realized that she would need to take Charles'' words into ount. She was his wife now, so she


    should really make some adjustments to her lifestyle. If she dressed simply, ignoring dress codes on


    whatever asions she would be attending, she would not only end up making a fool of herself,


    Charles would also be humiliated.


    "Well, let''s suppose I agree with that, I have one condition. I won''t buy too many, several clothes are


    okay," she insisted with a frown.


    "Fine, fine, fine. It''s all up to you." Although Charles felt a little displeased that she opposed him, he


    was gratified to know that she had not changed a bit. She was still the same woman with good virtues


    that he had fallen in love with. He took her hand, rushed into the gate, and then headed to the clothing


    store at the top of the building.
