His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1174

After Sheryl realized that Melissa was doing all this to please her son, her guilt eventually dissipated.

'She is only acting in front of Charles. She is not doing this out of love for my children. Why should I be sorry for her?' she mentally sneered.

"I am going to drive Clark and Shirley to school," Sheryl nonchalantly informed them. Then she led the two kids out of the house without hesitation.

'Both the mother and son are disgusting. I have to get those miserable things out of my mind if I want to stay with them, ' she thought.

"What's the matter with you, Mommy? You look upset," Clark probed as soon as they got into the car.

"I'm fine, honey," Sheryl casually replied as she started the engine, and drove straight towards the kindergarten. She could always hide negative emotions successfully when Clark was around. But today, she had forgotten to keep her facial expressions in check.

"Mommy, don't lie to me. When you talked to Grandma, you never looked at Daddy. But he was staring at you. Did you have a fight with Daddy?" Clark prompted gently, refusing to believe her.

He was a sensitive kid, and he paid much attention to his mother. Since he was such a keen observer that nothing could escape his notice.

As a result, Sheryl could never manage to deceive his shrewd son.

"No. Your daddy and I are good. It is just that I did not sleep well last night. And I felt like I was too tired to speak," she explained. She attempted to make up a story to convince Clark, but she didn't know that her son had a nose for a lie. The little boy could sense that her mother was lying.

"Mommy, people have both good days and bad days. I hope you not only share pleasant things with me but also the sad ones. This way, you won't have to suffer alone. What do you think?" Clark offered with a resolute look in his big eyes.

And it sounded like he was confessing his love to someone dear to him.

Glad having such a considerate son, Sheryl felt like the luckiest mother in the world.

"My good boy! From this moment on, I will tell you if I have a problem. That is a promise," Sheryl sobbed. Clark's sweet statement melted her heart. She tried hard to prevent her tears from welling up.

"Mommy, did you have a fight with Daddy? Will you get a divorce? I don't want that," Shirley broke in with a worried look. She had no idea what was going on between her parents. But she had this notion that if a couple often argued with each other, they would end up with a breakup.

It meant that the two would get divorced.

She hated to see her parents getting a divorce. If that would be the case, she could no longer live with her mother and father together.

"Don't worry, Shirley. That will never happen. Daddy loves Mommy so much, and so does Mommy. The two will be together forever." Clark assured his sister.

It never crossed his mind that his parents would break up. 'I know Daddy too well. He loves Mommy with all his heart. He would rather get himself killed than leave Mommy and live with another woman, ' he mused.

The children's exchange of words made Sheryl lost in her own thoughts. 'Will Charles really break up with me? Will he spend the rest of his life living with me?'

In the past, she would have them answered positively. But after what she had witnessed last night, she felt unsure. Remembering her husband with Rachel in the room, she suddenly thought that she knew nothing about Charles.

She even wondered what was on his mind when he smiled at her affectionately.
