Chapter 82 The Death Of Sherry Nn


    Johnson Xia told the story as slowly and calmly as he could, but the trembling voice gave him away,


    which somehow made Linda felt like crying.


    They all said Johnson Xia married Sherry Nn merely for the interest of his family. But judging from


    his tone, Linda believed that he had truly loved Sherry Nn.


    And the smile on his face when he talked about her, it could only be found on those who loved


    someone so deeply with all their hearts.


    "Alright. Come on, let''s go make dumplings. I''m starving, and I have to eat on time ording to Dr.


    Xu''s instruction."


    Wiping off the sadness in his face, Johnson xia turned to Linda and Charles Mu with a tender look.


    "Fine. Father, can you show me how to make the filling? I want to learn and help Linda next time we


    make dumplings." said Charles Mu.


    And one of his hands was intimately around Linda''s waist while he talked to Johnson Xia.


    Father? Johnson Xia was stunned for a second before he realized that Charles Mu was addressing


    him... He was not quite used to the change from Lord Xia to father so quickly.


    "Knock it off! I can chop pork and make my own filling. I don''t need your help." Linda rolled her eyes at


    Charles Mu but then answered with a smile.


    "I don''t think so. What if you cut your fingers? It''s killing me to see you get hurt."


    Looking slightly pink, Linda said nothing back. This man seemed to always have a way to put her at a


    loss for words.


    Gathering all the ingredients, they went into the kitchen. Linda was cleaning the vegetables and Bun


    was doing the cutting.


    Charles Mu, however, was observing Johnson Xia chopping the pork and making the filling with great


    interest. The earnestness in his eyes somehow made Linda want to giggle.


    Linda was quite familiar with the whole process and so the preparation was done in a jiff.


    And Linda was actually surprised at how proficient Johnson Xia was in making the filling. He was not


    lying. He must have done it a lot in the past.


    Now that they were gathering around the table, Linda started to chat with her father while making


    dumplings.


    There were so many things she wanted to know about her birth mother Sherry Nn. Linda had always


    had a feeling that her mother was a woman of secrets and mystery.


    And yet she die so suddenly... It was such a pity.


    "Father, I have a picture of mother. She seems so elegant and graceful. Isn''t it amazing that such a


    well-borndy like my mother could make dumplings?"


    "Aren''t you thedy of our Xia n?"


    "Well, it''s different... Considering the fact that I grew up in an ordinary family..."


    Johnson Xia meant to say that Linda was also a respecteddy, but he forgot that actually Linda had


    hardly enjoyed her life before she was found back.


    And it was all his fault, Which made Johnson Xia felt more guilty.


    Johnson Xia stared Linda with a mixed feeling for a while, and then he reached for the tea cup. After


    taking a small sip, he continued, "Don''t be fooled by your mother. She did look like a quiet and graceful


    She loved travelling, you know. Just as much as she loved to take me around with her. She was also a


    big fan of cooking. And do you know what the most incredible part was? It was her business acumen.


    The Xiapany would never have achieved so far without her. But thepany was over the hill


    after her death, and it just kept sliding down... Well..."


    Linda was surprised to hear those anecdotes of her mother. And there was truth in it when people said


    that never judge a book from its cover. Then Linda said to her father, "It seems you were really into my


    mother. But May Shen told me that... Your marriage with my mother was merely based on the interest


    of the Xiapany."


    There was a soft smile on Johnson Xia''s wrinkled face everytime he spoke of Sherry Nn, "Didn''t you


    marry Young Master Mu for your family at first? And look how well you two are getting along. You see,


    sometimes familiarity will breed fondness."


    Linda''s fair face turned pink after being teased by her own father. And she felt her ears were burning as


    well.


    She then turned around to Charles Mu, "Is it also true for our rtionship?"


    Charles Mu replied calmly, "I don''t know... But I do know..."


    Then he suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Linda''s ears, "It can... definitely breeds children."


    Linda immediately stamped Charles Mu on his shoes as hardly as she could while ring at him


    furiously. But inside she couldn''t help bursting intoughters.


    Damn this jerk... He was getting outrageous. How could he flirt with her like that when Johnson Xia was


    sitting right next to them.


    Looking at Linda, whose face was so alike to Sherry Nn, Johnson Xia felt it soforting that his


    darling daughter had finally found her happiness.


    He wasn''t a three-year-old, and he guessed that Charles Mu must have said something flirting that


    made Linda blush.


    Johnson Xia knew exactly what kind of man Charles Mu was. He was always cold and taciturn. And he


    was also a decisive business man.


    There were lots of women tried so hard to crawl up to his bed, but none of them had made it so far.


    Charles Mu would only address Johnson Xia politely as Lord Xia in the past. So it did surprise Johnson


    Xia to hear Charles Mu calling him father instead.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Johnson Xia then resumed after a small pause, "It was true that I married Sherry for my family at first.


    For your mother''s n was wealthy and powerful, and it could help the Xia n tremendously. But then


    she really fascinated me after we got engaged. Your mother got a great personality and such an


    interesting soul. And unlike those arrogant and spoileddys, she was the sweetest girl I''ve ever met."


    "So, did you fall in love with my mother?"


    Johnson Xia agreeed with a nod, "Yeah, right. We had been together for a while and I found myself


    falling for her. So we got married and were still deeply in love with each other after that. And there you


    came a yearter."


    "But father, why were you still seeing May Shen after you married my mother?"


    Linda didn''t say it straightly and make it sound harsh, but May Shen herself said that Johnson Xia had


    been visiting her once a week even after he was married.


    "Well, that''s another long story... Your mother knew about my past with May Shen, and she totally


    understood me. May Shen''s family was once one of the business magnates in SH city. However, they


    hade down in the worldter on. And... I visited her once a week only out of guilt..."


    "But I had never touched her ever since I married your mother, except once when it was her birthday


    and I was drunk... Well... No need to mention it again... It was all my fault anyway. I never went back to


    her again after that night. But I did instruct my butler to keep sending the money over every month, for I


    really felt sorry for her."


    It was not easy for Johnson Xia neither.


    After Sherry Nn passed away, May Shen came to the Xia n with the one-year-old Lisa Xia. She


    was crying and told Johnson Xia that she got pregnant after that night...


    Johnson Xia felt so sorry for the baby, so he married May Shen and loved Lisa Xia with all his heart...


    However, he never knew that Lisa Xia was not even his own blood...


    While listening, Linda found something strange in Johnson Xia''s story, "You mean, May Shen showed


    up with the one-year-old Lisa right after my mother''s death?"
