His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1097

Aron was awakened. The anxiety in his wife's voice lingered in his mind, and he immediately knew that something was wrong. "Who was calling at this late hour, Isla?" he asked in his drowsy voice.

"It was Sher. I don't know what's wrong, but something happened to her. You stay here and watch Amanda. I will go out quick and meet her at the gate," Isla replied vastly as she grabbed her clothes and got dressed in a hurry.

Hearing what she had said, Aron came fully awake. Sitting up straight, he said, "Got it. Be careful, honey."

"I will. I'm worried, cause I don't know what's going on with Sher!" The concern in her voice was evident to him.

As the taxi dropped Sheryl off at Isla's house, Isla stood outside of her house, anxiously waiting for her friend. Watching Sheryl getting out of the cab, she called out with a wave, "I am here, Sher. Come here!"

Noticing that Isla was waving at her, Sheryl felt relieved and made her way in the direction of her friend.

Sheryl's reddened eyes and grim face caught Isla's attention instantly. Her heart sank when she saw her upset best friend, who seemed as if she had been through a difficult ordeal. "What's going on with you, Sher?" she asked in fluster.

With her head down, Sheryl remained silent, and tears started rushing out of her eyes.

Rattled, Isla took out a tissue from her jacket and wiped off her tears to comfort her. "Oh...Don't cry, please. Let's go inside," she continued, comforting her friend while leading her into the house and patting her back.

The moment Isla left their bedroom, Aron got out of bed and fixed himself too. When the two women entered the house, the lights in the living room were already on. He was worried about Sheryl and was waiting for them patiently.

"Aron, did you leave Amanda alone?" Sheryl asked as she glanced around the living room.

"It's okay, Sher. Amanda is sleeping soundly in her room. Luckily for us, she isn't a light sleeper. Honestly, I don't think that there's any sound that can wake her up, especially, once she's fast asleep," Aron replied.

"Please, sit down now, Sher," Isla said in a soft and calm tone, as she seated Sheryl on the couch. Turning over to Aron, Isla urged, "Honey, please go get Sher a tall glass of water."

"I already did, honey," replied Aron, as he smiled in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere. He then pointed to the glass of water on the coffee table.

"Sher, before you tell us what's wrong, have some water first," Isla recommended to her friend, whom she was very worried about. She then handed the glass of water to Sheryl. She took a seat next to her friend and watched her drink it, in the hope that she would calm down.

However, Sheryl was not in the mood to drink water. She was sidetracked and boiling with anger on the inside.

"What if I divorce Charles? Would that be okay?" Sheryl asked earnestly, looking at her friend.

Hearing this, Isla was certain that something must have happened to make Sheryl think about divorcing her husband, or she wouldn't have come over in the early hours of the morning. She recalled to herself that Sheryl was a sensible person, after all, but to her shock, Sheryl brought up a divorce. She had no idea what had happened between her best friend and Charles, to drive her to such irrationality. She was confused and never expected Sheryl to even consider divorcing her husband.

Isla knew that Sheryl and Charles suffered a lot in the past and that they had gone through a couple of rough patches. Somehow, they found their way back to each other. 'What's going on between these two now?' she wondered.

"Come again? What are you talking about, Sher? You and Charles are madly in love with each other, right? I mean, he would never even think of divorcing you. Besides, you two have a lovely pigeon pair together!" Isla exclaimed loudly. Changing the topic as fast as she could, she asked in confusion, "So, what were you fighting about, if I may ask?"

"Its all because of Charles' mother! Everything is her fault!" Sheryl replied. When she spat those words, it dawned on her that she had never mentioned Melissa to Isla before.

Sheryl never told Isla about Melissa before, as Charles asked her never to do so.

However, regrettably, the relationship between her and Melissa got worse over time, and the last thing she ever wanted to do was complain about it to her friend. If there was one thing that Sheryl hated, it was a complainer.

Regardless, she couldn't keep it to herself any longer, as she desperately felt the need to find someone to confide in. If she didn't do so, she would most probably lose her mind.
