His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1179

"Ms. Bai, are you okay?" Holley walked up to Rachel as she watched Charles drive away in his car.

"Holley, did you get all the pictures?" Rachel asked gravely. She didn't care about whether she had injuries or not. At that particular moment, she was only interested in the photos that Holley took.

"Certainly. You can rest assured. The photos are clear and I bet you'll be pleased with them. With those pictures, you can make up your story without having to worry that someone won't believe it," Holley assured Rachel as she put the camera in front of her. After Rachel browsed through the pictures, her mood switched from bad to good instantly.

"Well, then...I think it's about time we return to Tarsan Corporation!" she proposed.

Both of the women got into the car and immediately drove back to Tarsan Corporation. Holley was the driver, while Rachel was in the passenger seat. On their way there, Rachel grew impatient as her sidekick failed to mention the pictures, which made her feel uneasy. "So, when do you propose that we should meet Sheryl and show her the photos, Holley?" she inquired.

"Wait...Don't be in such a hurry. We need to be patient. After all, Sheryl is having a hard time. She is very upset and if we show her these pictures, she might dispose of them out of anger. I think it's best we show them to her at a point when she is over her current feelings," Holley suggested.

With a twisted expression on her face, Holley continued, "Ms. Bai, you must have no idea how terrible it feels to have one's healed wounds reopened. However, Sheryl will understand soon."

"Okay, that's fine. We can wait," Rachel replied with an evil smile.

Thinking about what Holley said, she agreed that she wanted Sheryl's suffering to be prolonged. Thus, she was willing to wait for the perfect moment.

"I will first review these pictures," Rachel murmured with a beaming smile. Taking the video camera out of her handbag, she started looking through the photos. 'I have to admit, Holley is an expert photographer. She didn't even capture Charles' face, so no one can see his expression, ' she praised inside.

Rachel knew that people had endless imaginations. Even though Charles' facial expression couldn't be seen in the pictures, the happy and affectionate look on Rachel's face displayed that she was in love with him and that they were having an affair.

When Charles returned home, Sheryl had already finished taking a relaxing bath.

Heading upstairs immediately, he sneaked into the bedroom and found his wife already dressed in her pajamas. "You're home early, Sher," Charles grinned, trying to suck up to his wife.

"What? No, I'm not. You're just later than usual," Sheryl shot back coldly, avoiding eye contact with her loving husband. Judging by her expression, she didn't seem interested in talking to Charles at all.

Watching her roam around the room, he lowered his head and glanced at his wristwatch to check the time. It turned out that over three hours had passed since he got off from work. "Oh, yeah, I came home a little bit later today," he said embarrassingly, as he scratched his head.

He then hurried over to Sheryl's side and leaned in for a kiss, which was supported by his seductively flattering smile. "Sher, I promise I will try to come home early from now on, okay?"

"Well, you don't have to promise me that, because it's none of my business. I'm going to bed. Are you going to sleep now or not? If not, please, just leave me alone. I am tired," Sheryl responded coldly before walking away from her husband's invitation. She forced herself to be as mean as she could to Charles, as she was afraid that her heart might be too soft and that she would be eager to forgive him.

That was the only reason why she was in a rush to wrap up the conversation. She wasn't about to give Charles any chance to be sweet with her, nor please her.

Charles felt disheartened by his wife's response. He wanted to explain something to her, but he didn't know how to free himself from his current feelings. He recalled that he didn't have anything to do with Rachel.

Since he wasn't sure about whether Rachel had said anything to Sheryl, he couldn't possibly risk bringing up her name or even rectify any misunderstandings. 'If I ask Sher about what Rachel said to her, she might suspect me. She might even think that I have something intimate to do with Rachel. Perhaps she would become even more upset and frustrated with me, ' he analyzed.
