Chapter 1104 The Decision To Move Out


    Thinking about his mother''s reaction, rk suddenly felt very unhappy. "Mom, can''t you recall what I''ve


    just said to you? Thest thing you should be doing is avoiding these problems. I understand that you


    don''t want to forgive Dad, but at least you should give him an opportunity to exin himself. Otherwise,


    he will feel so sad and like he has been wronged."


    Seeing Sheryl keeping silent, rk began to shake her hand gently, in his attempt to convince her


    once more. "Mom, please, just let dad exin."


    "Oh, fine...I''ll listen to you and hear what your father has to say," replied Sheryl helplessly. She thought


    that if she persisted on saying no, rk would keep nagging her until she agreed.


    "That''s alright, Mom," rk answered in a happy tone as he patted Sheryl''s hand lovingly. "So, since


    you''ve agreed, you can go upstairs and have a talk with him now. I will wait here and eat pizza with


    Shirley," rk added.


    Sheryl didn''t have any other reason to refuse Charles anymore. Following him, she went into the


    bedroom upstairs.


    "Sher, I''ve seen the video you sent me. I''m really sorry. I didn''t know what the truth was, and that was


    why I questioned the situation before." Charles got straight to the point and expressed his apology to


    Sheryl. He felt sorry for treating her the way he did.


    He didn''t want to borate on other trivial things, and especially not on something that didn''t matter. He


    also knew that Sheryl would feel more impatient and disappointed with him, if he kept going on about


    senseless things, instead of apologizing up front.


    "Well, now that you''ve learned about the truth, we don''t have anything else to talk about, now do we?"


    Sheryl responded to Charles'' apology in a cold and relentless voice. She didn''t feel like she was ready


    to reply to his apology, nor ept it. She wasn''t the kind of person who liked toin about how


    hurt she felt by another person.


    "Sher, I''m so sorry. I know that you feel wronged, and I know that it''s all my fault. Nevertheless, I


    promise that after supper, I will tell my mom that our family of four will not live in Dream Garden from


    this point forward. I''ll find another incredible home, and we can just move out. I''ve been thinking about


    it for a long time. What do you think?" Charles spoke his mind. Once he learned the truth, he made the


    decision on behalf of him and his family to move out.


    "What? You want us to move out? Wait...Aren''t you afraid of your mother''s disapproval?" Sheryl never


    thought that Charles would make the mindful decision to make such a sacrifice, especially for her sake.


    She was surprised but relieved at the same time.


    "Of course, I know that she won''t agree with my decision. However, even though she doesn''t agree, the


    most important thing to me is that our family can live a happy life together. I truly mean it, Sheryl," said


    Charles firmly. He wanted to make it clear that she was a priority to him.


    Noticing Sheryl''s expression, which boasted with pure disbelief, he immediately added, "I need to admit


    something though. I decide to move out, not only because we can live a happy and peaceful life


    together, but also because I don''t want to unmask my mom. I mean, regardless of anything, she''s still


    my mom. She hasn''t been living in Dream Garden for a long time, so I couldn''t just ask her to move


    out.


    I just can''t understand why she doesn''t like you, nor what is in her mind. Whatever happens, Sher, I


    promise you that she will nevere between, nor separate us ever again. I don''t even care if she


    uses suicide to threaten me. You and the children will alwayse first!"


    Sheryl had to admit, what Charles said was very admirable. At least in her mind, this kind of promise


    brought her more relief than a mere apology.


    She felt at ease, as Charles had just promised her his loyalty. What else could she ask for?


    No matter what she lost in Dream Garden, she wouldn''t fear anything else as long as she still had her


    kids and Charles.


    "I have a question. Is moving out truly at your discretion? Do you think that your mom will agree with


    your decision?" Sheryl''s question indicated that she was permitting this decision.


    "Don''t worry, Sher. I will discuss my decision with my mother. I''ve made a promise to you, and I will


    make it clear to her that no one can stop us from moving out or being together." Charles made a firm


    vow to Sheryl.


    Realizing that Sheryl was finally convinced, Charles continued, "Sher, can I ask you for just one thing?


    Can you just bear my mom for a few days? Just until we move out. No matter what my mom says to


    you, all you have to do is ignore her words. You should know that she is…"


    "Fine. Please, there''s no need to remind me whatsoever. I know what you''re going to say. I promise, as


    long as we can have our life back and live a peaceful life together, I don''t mind how she treats me in


    the next few days. I''ll tolerate it." Sheryl cut Charles off.


    Sheryl recalled herself saying these kinds of words many times after Melissa came back. Regardless,


    each time she made her attitude clear, a conflict was born between her and Melissa. Sheryl felt uneasy.


    She knew that, whenever she disyed kindness to Melissa, it was followed by Melissa''s efforts to


    frame her once more.


    She was uncertain about what the result would be this time around. However, she didn''t want to think


    about it at that moment. All that she could do was wait and find it out.


    During dinner, all of the family members were present at the table, and no disruptive behavior seemed


    to be present. Looking at her family, Shirley even thought that their family was extremely happy. She


    couldn''t even tell that her parents weren''t talking with one another earlier in the day.


    However, rk knew about every detail of the rtionship between his parents. That was why he also


    knew that it had been better than before.


    He felt grateful for what he had done to reconcile his parent''s rtionship. If it wasn''t for him who acted


    as a mediator, his parents wouldn''t have made up so quickly.


    Thinking of this point, rk felt proud and pleased with himself. As he enjoyed the positive mood in the


    room, his appetite was bigger than ever.


    After supper, Nancy brought the two kids to freshen up and then took them back to their room to sleep.


    They both needed to get up early to go to the kindergarten the following day.


    rk and Shirley were good children, as they never opposed going to bed on time.


    Seeing that his kids had already fallen asleep, Gary also made his way to his room after supper. At that


    moment, Charles thought that it was the perfect time to take on his mother.


    "Sher, could you please go and fetch my phone? I think I''ve left it in the bedroom," Charles said as he

    exchanged a serious look with Sheryl.


    Sheryl nodded her head, as she knew what Charles was about to do. She definitely didn''t want to be in


    the room when it happened, and that was why she left.


    Once she was in the bedroom, she took her time to bring Charles his phone. She stood behind the


    door and opened it slightly, as she wanted to hear their conversation.


    "Mom, are you feeling okay? Are you still feeling lightheaded?" Charles knew that losing a lot of blood


    for any human being, was apanied by dizziness and nauseousness.


    "I''m fine, Charles. Don''t worry about me." Melissa proceeded to put on the mask of a sensible mother


    in front of Charles.


    Charles paused for a while. He behaved so not because he was moved by his mother''s thoughtfulness


    towards him, but because he recalled in his mind how she had treated Sheryl in the video.


    He couldn''t grasp that his mother had a split-personality.


    "Mom, I have something to negotiate with you. It''s quite important." After a deep sigh for plucking up to


    his mother, Charles came straight to the point.


    "What kind of thing? Just name it, son. As long as it is within my reach, I will agree with it. After all, I am


    your mother and you are my son," Melissa replied in a pampered voice.


    "Mom, I have talked to Sheryl. We''ve decided to move out with Shirley and rk tomorrow." Charles


    looked into Melissa''s eyes as he told her the news in a calm voice.


    Melissa was taken aback at Charles'' request and responded in a surprised voice, "What? Why do you


    want to move out? Do you feel ufortable living here?"


    "Mom, believe me...That''s not the problem. It''s not about us beingfortable or not. I just don''t think


    that you can get along with Sheryl. Besides, at your age, I want you to live a happy and rxed life.


    In the beginning, it was my very own ignorance that caused today''s situation. It is often said that it''s


    very difficult for a mother-inw and daughter-inw get along with each other. Hearing this kind of


    saying at first, I didn''t take it seriously. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have almost lost your life with the


    suicide attempt. So, from my point of view, Sher shouldn''t live with you here any longer. After all, the


    most important thing right now is your psychological and physical health. Don''t you think so?" Charles


    began to exin to Melissa calmly.
