His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 657

"What's going on between them?" Anthony repeated his question, with eyes full of anxiety. When Sue still didn't answer, he clutched her hand even tighter and pleaded,"Please tell me what's going on between Sheryl and Charles."

"Ouch! Anthony, you're hurting me," Sue cried in a coquettish manner. Before Sue could say anything more, she fell into a deep slumber. She must be really drunk. Anthony felt so helpless. He couldn't do anything but sit on the couch and stare at the sleeping Sue. He didn't realize he had been sitting there the whole night pondering about Charles and Sheryl.

Fate was deliberately playful. He had been hiding the truth from Sheryl for many years hoping that it would help him win her and have her forever but just all of a sudden, she would be back to Charles. All his efforts had gone to waste.

In the mountains

In the middle of the night, Sheryl fell asleep. Charles just watched over her. At dawn, while Sheryl was still fast asleep, Charles secretly left to look for someone who could help him repair the car. Fortunately, he was able to find a mechanic who was already awake. When he came back to the car with the mechanic, Sheryl was still asleep. She only woke up when the car was almost done.

Somehow, she slept well despite the not so pleasing environment.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she opened the door and got out. She noticed that Charles was not alone. Without any knowledge about car repairs, she innocently asked Charles,"How's it going?"

"It's almost done," Charles answered while looking at her lovingly. It was only 5:30 in the morning and the temperature in the mountains was biting. Sheryl's face turned pinkish with the cold. When Charles noticed it, he thoughtfully urged her,"You wait in the car. It's too cold outside."

Sheryl nodded and then took off Charles' coat to give it back to him. "Put your coat on."

"I'm not cold. You just wear it," Charles refused. He then gently wrapped the coat back on her shoulders.

Sheryl waited for roughly twenty minutes inside the car before the mechanic could finally fix it. Charles gave the mechanic a few hundred dollars before the man thanked him and left. When Charles entered the driver's seat, he turned to Sheryl and said,"Well, we can go now."

Sheryl remained silent all throughout their journey. When they passed by a coffee shop, Charles pulled off to buy some breakfast for Sheryl. Sheryl didn't even react when he went out of the car. "Here." Charles handed the bag of breakfast to Sheryl when he came back to the car. Then he added,"I know you don't want to have breakfast with me so I decided to buy you some breakfast before I drop you home. By the way, I'm sorry about what happened last night. I was too imprudent."

"Never mind. It's all right now," Sheryl replied with a forgiving smile on her face. It was almost eight o'clock when they reached Sheryl's apartment. She bid goodbye to Charles and got out of the car. She waited for the car to vanish before she turned to the elevator.

Meanwhile, Sue also had woken up. She felt a throbbing headache. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was startled to see Anthony sitting opposite her. "What are you doing here, Anthony?" she inquired nervously.

Anthony's bloodshot eyes indicated that he stayed up all night. "Don't you remember anything about last night?" he asked back in a weary tone.

Upon hearing it, Sue racked her brain to remember everything she did last night. Suddenly, her face turned pale as she remembered a vague memory of her confessing her love to Anthony.

She gave Anthony a guilty look. "Er... I think I drank too much last night. I was not in my own mind. So whatever I must have said, please don't take them seriously." She then added with a pale laugh,"I always talk nonsense when I'm drunk. Please don't take it to heart."
