His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1022

Sheryl could tell by his expression that Anthony persuaded Sue not to think too much of her mother and brother. But obviously Sue didn't follow his advice.

She smiled at him and said, "I think you should talk to her about this again as soon as possible."

Anthony sighed and replied, "Sue is a good girl. It seems that I cannot force her not to think of them. I understand that they are her family. But what I couldn't understand is why she thinks too highly of them. Peggy and Allen treated her so badly, but she still cares about them especially after they got into trouble. She should prioritize herself. With her present condition, matters such as this will not be good for the baby." Sheryl suggested, "Then, you better find out Allen and Peggy as soon as possible. It will help give Sue a peace of mind."

"I know." Anthony drew a wry smile and opened up, "To be honest with you, I have already been looking for them recently. But since they turned fugitives, they become good in hiding. I have not found any signs of their whereabouts. So I..."

"You used to be smart. What happened to you?" Sheryl stared at Anthony and continued, "Of course, they are the wanted fugitives, so they don't dare appear in public. And since the police are searching for them, they have no way to leave here. So they must be still in Y City. Expect them to contact Sue soon. They would be fools if they didn't turn to Sue for help."

She stopped and waited for Anthony to speak. When there was no response, she went on, "Since Sue got pregnant, you asked her to stay at home. Allen and Peggy wouldn't dare to go to your house even if they wanted to ask Sue for help. So you need to plan something for them to meet up."

"But... she's pregnant. I can't take the risk," answered Anthony while frowning and shaking his head.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It's the only way to settle this," Sheryl insisted. Sheryl understood Anthony's misgivings. She wouldn't have brought it up if she could have thought of another idea. 'We're out of options, ' she thought.

Anthony's brows furrowed as he replied, "I need more time to think about this."

Sheryl didn't push him and pondered, 'Yes, he's right. I should give him more time. After all, this is not something trivial.'

Anthony drove her to the gate of Dream Garden. Sheryl unfastened her safety belt. As she was about to get out, Anthony stopped her. "Sher..." he began hesitantly.

"What?" Sheryl asked as she turned to Anthony with a puzzled look.

"Nothing important. I...just want to say sorry," Anthony replied with embarrassment. "I was such a jerk to you and I never apologized. So I hope you forgive me."

"What's going on with you? Why did you take turns apologizing to me?" Sheryl asked with a resigned expression. "I have long forgotten this. I hope you and Sue live happily."

She alighted from the car. Waving at Anthony, she smiled and said, "My children are waiting for me at home. You should drive back, and I'm sure, Sue is also waiting for you."

Watching Sheryl run into Dream Garden, Anthony felt relieved. He thought he would feel upset. After all, he was once madly in love with her. Instead, he felt impatient to get home and be at Sue's side.

At this moment, he realized that Sue had already occupied Sheryl's place in his heart.

He started the engine and drove away.

The next morning was the day for Sue's pregnancy check-up. Anthony got up earlier than usual. He accompanied her to the hospital.

Since they skipped breakfast, Sue's stomach started growling loudly while waiting for the test results. Hearing this, Anthony seated Sue on the bench in the gallery. He told her, "Stay here. I am going to buy something for you to eat."
