His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1021

"Whatever you say, Sheryl, Allen is my brother. He killed Doris and ran away. Doris' mother is overwhelmed by grief and anger. It's normal for her to pick on me," sighed Sue. Sue was sympathetic towards Doris' mother thinking about the pain she had to undergo while burying her young daughter. Although Doris shouldn't have cheated Allen, it was too cruel for Allen to kill her. It was an irreparable loss for the poor mother. Sue felt sorry for her and would refrain from arguing with her if possible.

Sheryl could not help appreciating the kind gesture on Sue's part. She took a sigh and explained, "You silly girl! I really don't know what to say. There is no dispute in the fact that he is your brother. But both of you are adults. You should only be responsible for your behaviors. He is the one who committed a crime. You didn't kill Doris. Why should you take the blame for this?"

Sue lowered her head and didn't reply. Sheryl continued, "In my opinion, you were unlucky to be born in this terrible family. That's why you are kind but indecisive."

"I…" Sue chocked as she tried to speak. She swallowed and tried to control her overwhelming emotions. Then she curved her lips into a bitter smile and said, "I see. Maybe you are right. But I don't know how to get over this. I just can't bring myself to stop thinking about that."

"Think more about your baby. Will it be a boy or a girl? Who will it resemble more—you or Anthony? Why don't you spare some time and visit a bookstore? Buy some books on parenting children. This is your first baby. I am sure you have many questions. You will find the answers in books. Just focus all your energies on your baby and prepare yourself for being a good mother," Sheryl consoled Sue with a smile. Thinking about Doris' death was indeed a very regressive thought. Especially, Sue could not do anything to make the situation better. Rather, diverting her mind into more constructive things was easy.

Sheryl's comforting words helped Sue calm down. She pushed the unwelcome idea at the back of her mind. Being a mother was exciting. Slowly her face broke into a smile as she began to think and speak more about the baby. She started imagining her future plan and talked about it with Sheryl.

'It is impossible for Sue to forget the trouble Allen caused. Her attention is temporally diverted by her baby, ' Sheryl thought as she tried to cheer Sue up by indulging her in a candid conversation.

It had been a long time since they met. They kept talking and didn't even notice that the dusk had fallen. Their conversation was interrupted when Anthony came in. He greeted Sheryl causally and then turned to Sue. He asked what she had done the whole day and how she felt today. He consciously avoided conversing much with Sheryl taking Sue's feelings into consideration.

In front of Anthony, Sue seemed to be very obedient. Anthony didn't talk much to Sheryl, which made her feel much comfortable. After all, they had been seeing each other at one point in time. Now when Sheryl watched Anthony and Sue together, she felt very peaceful in her mind. Anthony's concern towards Sue made her smile from the bottom of her heart. Finally, everything fell in place for Sheryl, Charles, Sue, and Anthony.

Their intimate interaction was a relief for Sheryl. She was glad to see Anthony flirting with Sue.

In the beginning, she had been worried about their relationship. They had known each other for years. And then the sudden love triangle developed between the three of them. Sheryl always wondered what made Anthony accept Sue so quickly. Was it because Sue was pregnant? If they were together just because of the baby, their love wouldn't last long.

Anthony's obvious concern towards Sue lifted a big weight off Sheryl's shoulders.

Anthony and Sue kept talking as if there was no one else in the room. When Sue noticed Sheryl was still here, she asked Anthony to leave. "Okay. I am fine. Now, you can go downstairs and take some rest. I still have something to talk with Sher."

"Okay. I will go downstairs and help my mother cook dinner. You two can come down later." Anthony nodded looking at Sue tenderly. It seemed he had developed a beautiful understanding with Sue, which really made Sheryl assured about their relationship.

"Okay," Sue agreed smiling back at him.

When Anthony left, Sheryl smiled at Sue teasingly and said, "I didn't know you are so close." The relationship between her and Anthony had ended. She was happy to see Sue get along so well with Anthony.

Sue blushed and broke into a smile as she replied sheepishly, "He is very good to me."

"Well, that's fine. I felt relieved to hear that!" Sheryl said with a nod.

"Stop talking about me. Let's talk about you. How are you getting along with your children? How is Charles treating you?" Sue felt shy and changed the topic before Sheryl could intrigue further about her growing bond with Anthony. Instead, she now turned the topic towards Sheryl.

Sheryl grinned and said, "I am fine. Charles is good to me." Although she lived separately from Charles for three long years, their love didn't fade. Sue broke into a smile looking at the contented smile on Sheryl's face.

"Have you ever considered about having another baby? Even though you have a son and a daughter, but you didn't raise them together. It is so sad. The days you and Charles have missed would never come back. If you have another baby, you can raise him from the moment it is born." Sue became thoughtful as she spoke. Then she took a deep sigh and continued her statement. "Clark has been with Leila since his birth.

You were not even there in his childhood. You have only witnessed Shirley's growing up, but then Charles could not be a part of the growing years for any one of them. He has two children, but he met them only when they were three years old. I guess he was sad. This regret will be there with him throughout his life."
