His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 682

Charles reasoned, 'Since Nancy has already been Sheryl's housemaid and Shirley's babysitter for a long time, she must be doing a good job; perhaps she is trying to make up with Sheryl. They're obviously happy with her so I won't interfere with Sheryl's decision. It wouldn't help to let her know that Nancy was our cook at Dream Garden anyway.

Besides, she is generally considerate and careful. She can take good care of Sheryl and Shirley, in spite of her past mistakes. Though, it might help to let her know that if Sheryl needs anything, she can come to me.'

Nancy was shocked by Charles' reaction and his decision to not disclose her identity. She knew she had done terrible things to Sheryl before. Also, her son's greed and imprudence put Sheryl in danger and caused her disappearance. It was weird that Charles had let all that go, or that he didn't throw her out of Sheryl's house right then. She looked up at him and said in a surprised tone,"Mr. Lu, you..."

Charles realized what Nancy was thinking. With a short wave of his hand, he cut her off,"Don't worry. I won't say anything. Sheryl needs a babysitter and you are the best choice. I am sure you can take good care of her and her daughter. Just remember, if Sheryl gets in trouble, you come to me as soon as possible."

It would have not been easy to persuade Sheryl into firing Nancy anyway. Sheryl had no memory of the past so Charles would have not had a good enough reason to give her. Moreover, Charles was quite certain that Nancy wouldn't do any more harm to Sheryl. In fact, she even promised so,"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I will make sure she is okay and I will inform you of any changes in her condition. Whenever she is in trouble, I will go find you for help." Nancy was grateful to him for that chance to look after Sheryl and Shirley. She also could not hold her excitement about the future. If Charles and Sheryl got back together, she would be over the moon.

Charles nodded appreciatively but still had to warn her,"Nancy, just remember... if you do anything to hurt Sheryl, though, I will not let it go. Do not mistake my kindness for weakness."

Nancy's memories of poisoning Sheryl a long time ago suddenly came back and caused her much remorse. She understood where Charles was coming from with that warning and made sure to remove any of his remaining worries,"I know what you mean, Mr. Lu. Trust me, I won't hurt her again. You have nothing to worry about." Nancy then went upstairs with slow, heavy steps. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears of gratitude. Sheryl watched her suspiciously. Eventually, she decided to go over to her and ask,"Nancy, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red?"

"Nothing. I am fine," Nancy replied cautiously. Without any further explanation, she went directly to her bedroom leaving Sheryl totally confused.

The next morning, Charles came to Sheryl's apartment with Charlie as promised. Nancy cooked an exceedingly good lunch for Charlie and Shirley, making them lick all their fingers. The two kids had missed each other greatly and kept talking nonstop about absolutely everything. Charles and Sheryl had a good laugh watching them.

At Y Hospital

The doctors allowed Holley to be discharged from the hospital. After the acrimonious quarrel between George and Donna a few days earlier, George decided to stay at the hospital with Holley and didn't even mention Donna at all. He was still bitter about the hostility she had shown toward Holley.

After finishing all the discharge formalities, he said to Holley softly,"Let's go. Where would you like to eat for lunch? I'll take you there."

Holley smiled and replied,"Actually, I just made us a reservation. I am taking you to a place with some really delicious food." She then grabbed George's arm and guided him toward the exit.

George was impressed with her constant positivity, especially after all she had been through. Holley seemed to have moved on from Donna's insolence and all the physical pain she had caused her. He felt a huge relief about it.

Donna had called him several times during the past few days, but he didn't answer any of the calls.

After she had shown up at the hospital, several days earlier, to beat up Holley, George wanted nothing to do with her anymore. She had crossed the line and he could not forgive that. George was set to show Donna that he didn't want her in his life anymore, which was why he kept ignoring all her calls.

Donna, however, was not about to back away that easily. She decided to hire a private detective to investigate Holley's past, in hopes to find something that would show George she wasn't as perfect as he thought.

In Downtown Y city, one could find many Korean restaurants but one, in particular, had a large number of positive reviews online. Since George was Korean, Holley decided to surprise him and reserved a table at that restaurant. George hadn't had any authentic Korean food since he came to Y City. She was sure he would like the food there.

That wasn't the only reason for bringing him there, though. Earlier, while he wasn't looking, Holley snagged his phone and sent Donna a message inviting her to have lunch together at that restaurant.

Holley had never confronted Donna before on purpose. It was always too draining for her. However, after getting discharged, she felt reenergized and able to properly deal with the situation. She wanted to prove herself to Donna and Sula, who kept seeing her as an unqualified partner for George.
