His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1075

For Melissa, as long as she was with her son, she would still have a home.

"Oh, really, Dad? Thank you! Thank you so much. I..." Although she had expected it, she still couldn't hold back the ecstatic thrill at the sound of Gary's answer. On cloud nine, she gushed, "I promise that I will take good care of you, Dad."

"No, thanks. I am old, but I am in good health, and I can attend to myself. All I want is that you treat Charles, his wife, and children well," Gary stressed earnestly.

"Charles is my son. Of course, I will be kind and agreeable to him," Melissa responded promptly. Pausing for a moment, she added, "And his children."

Gary didn't sense that she ignored Sheryl. But even if he had been able to catch on, he wouldn't give too much thought to it. They used to live together, and he knew Melissa.

Charles meant everything to her. And that was something he could never doubt.

"Well, that's it. If you don't have anything else, you can leave now. As for you moving in with us, I need to talk to Charles first. I am afraid that he might find it hard to take in that his mother appears out of nowhere," Gary proposed. Now that Melissa already got what she wanted, she might not want to stay here any longer, he thought.

"Yup. I gotta go. It's getting late, so please don't stay outside too late," Melissa replied thoughtfully. Since things went on smoothly as expected, she decided to leave. She didn't have much to talk to her husband's father, after all.

After getting off duty, Charles drove straight to Cloud Advertising Company to pick Sheryl up.

Sheryl was a workaholic. Once she got much work to do, she would definitely lose track of time and work for extended hours. Even though she was a CEO now, she still worked as hard as before.

Charles leisurely waited for Sheryl in his car. He watched as the staff from Cloud Advertising Company leave one by one, and yet there was still no sign of his wife.

He was growing impatient, so he took out the phone and dialed Sheryl's number. Several minutes had passed, but no one answered the phone.

He wondered whether she had her hands full so that she didn't even try at least to pick up his call. As he was about to hang up and go to the company to find Sheryl, a voice from the other end of the line reached his ears. "Hello, Charles."

"Come on, honey, do you know what time it is now? It's time to get off work. No matter what you are doing, stop it and collect your things. I am waiting for you outside your company," he instructed. He was slightly upset at her for keeping him waiting for such a long time. But he was more concerned about her health. He hated to see her caught up in her job and forget to take care of herself.

He didn't think that his wife needed not to work really, but Sheryl didn't share the same sentiments. She wanted to have her own career, and he chose to respect her decision.

Despite that, he couldn't allow her to work her tail off.

"I am almost done here. See you in five minutes. Love you, honey." Sheryl rolled her eyes cheekily as she heard Charles complaining.

Deep inside, she wanted to snap back. 'Now that I have chosen to get a job, I will do my best. Otherwise, I would just be a housewife and lead a comfortable life.'

However, she didn't have the guts to voice out her real thoughts. Because if she blurted it out, Charles would ask her to quit her job and to stay at home to be a Mrs. CEO.

"All right. Hurry up," Charles agreed in a mellow voice. Obviously, Sheryl had a knack for pleasing her husband. His anger vanished at the sound of her words.
