His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 696

Although Sue drank a lot, she was still sober. She realized that the man Anthony was talking about was Charles.

He had also talked about this matter to her the last time he had gotten drunk. She had been doubting the relationship between Charles and Sheryl since then. And now, Anthony seemed to confirm everything.

She looked at Anthony and asked for confirmation, "Are you talking about Charles?"

"Who else?" he answered with a sneer. Anthony became more sour upon hearing Charles' name. He asked Sue in an obscure tone, "I know you still love him. But why? Can you tell me why I'm not good enough for you? Why can't I beat him in your heart?"

He smiled bitterly and continued, "Besides, you also let Shirley get so close to him. I'm really disappointed in you."

Anthony cried for a while and then began laughing. "For the three years that we were together, I feel like a fool for dreaming that one day, you'll be marrying me."

Anthony suddenly gripped Sue's hands and eagerly asked, "Sher, you will marry me, right?"

Although Sue was aware that Anthony had only mistaken her for Sheryl, she had no heart to hurt him. So, she looked at him intently and nodded her head. "Don't worry, I will never leave you unless you leave me first," she added with a voice full of assurance.

That was actually Sue's inner thoughts. She would never leave Anthony until he did it first.

However, she knew that her words didn't make any sense.

"Really?" Anthony was so pleased to hear Sue's answer. He hugged her tightly, feeling like a happy kid. Sue was stunned for a moment but eventually hugged him back.

Although she knew that Anthony's gesture was only driven by alcohol, she still didn't want to escape from his embrace.

After a good long while, Sue felt Anthony had fallen asleep. She could hear his light snore. She removed his arms around her and helped him lie down on the sofa.

Anthony was still calling on Sheryl's name while sleeping. Sue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She fetched a quilt from her bedroom and covered Anthony. When she saw him sleeping comfortably, she went back to her room to have some rest.

Meanwhile, Sheryl was also preparing to sleep after reading some bedtime stories to Shirley when her cellphone suddenly rang.

She smiled unconsciously when she saw Charles' name on the screen. She immediately answered it. "Why are you calling me? It's already late," she said.

"Nothing special actually," Charles replied. He was actually very upset because he wasn't able to get any information from Anthony about his missing child. He just wanted to have someone to talk to. "I just want to let you know that I've arrived home now," he added.

"Okay, I'm glad to hear that," Sheryl answered with a smile. Then she added, "Charlie also called Shirley a while ago and told her."

"Oh, really?" He felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know that Charlie had already reported to Shirley. Now, he was at loss for words.

There was a long silence on the line. Sheryl waited for a while but Charles still didn't speak up. "Do you have anything else to say?" she asked.

"I will pick you and Shirley up tomorrow," Charles also asked at the same time Sheryl spoke. She let out a soft laugh because they both spoke at the same time. Then she nodded her head and answered, "Okay. I'll make breakfast for you."

"That would be great," Charles agreed with a wide grin. "Anyway, it's too late now. You must go to bed. Good night," he added.
