His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 739

"Because I have done something that she would never forgive." Anthony smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not expect Sheryl to forgive something as unforgivable as this. He even thought that he deserved her hatred. He couldn't help thinking that his relationship with Sheryl was completely and finally finished.

"Anthony, what have you…" Sue thought awhile and started to ask Anthony what he had done to Sheryl. But she was interrupted by him even as she started talking.

Anthony put down his glass and looked sideways at her. "Don't ask me about that. I will never tell you what happened. Please don't even mention this again and I will be very thankful to you for your consideration."

How could Anthony tell her what happened? He was too ashamed about his behavior.

As he showed no willingness to talk on that subject, she relented, "Fine! If that is your wish, I won't ask you about this anymore. Let's have a drink."

Each lost in their own complex thoughts, they finished the bottle of wine very quickly.

Sue was still sober, but Anthony was not.

Before he came, he had been drinking a lot. He was also in a bad mood, because there was too much on his mind these days. He was pessimistic about the future of his relationship with Sheryl. He had been so upset that he drank faster and much more than Sue did. Thus he soon fell unconscious.

Sue stood up and walked to her wardrobe to fetch a quilt for him. She covered Anthony with the warm quilt to prevent him from catching a cold. She smoothed the quilt softly over him just as she wanted to soothe his knitted eyebrows and confused heart. As she was about to leave, Anthony clutched her hand and begged her to stay with him.

There was a dim light in the room. She could clearly see the pleading look in his eyes. How could she refuse him when he was looking so sad and vulnerable? She was struggling with her conscience. She hesitated and then said to him in a soft voice, "Anthony, you are drunk. You don't know what you are doing. You will be regret it tomorrow."

"I am not drunk." said Anthony unhappily, "Why do you all think I am drunk? I am not drunk, definitely not! I desperately want to get drunk, but I can't."

Anthony murmured, "Why don't you just let me get drunk? All my troubles end when I get drunk."

Sue felt her heart ache when she saw Anthony's pain. She hesitated for a while. At the end she couldn't resist her feelings for him, and she sat down next to him. He tightly grasped her hand so she could feel his desire to be with her that night. She nodded gently and said, "Okay, I will be here with you."

Only then did Anthony's face show a satisfied smile. The next second, he took her into his arms.

Sue was quite taken aback by this. Although the sofa was quite roomy, it still seemed too small to accommodate two people. Anthony hugged her tightly in his arms as if she could help him get away from what had upset him so much. His breath tickled the back of her neck and left her hypnotized.

But the next second, a thought hit her and she struggled to free herself.

She was not sure who Anthony had taken her for. 'Does he recognize who I am?' she couldn't help but think. She only knew that he was drunk. She could not use this chance to be with him by pretending she was Sheryl.

"Anthony, let me go. We can't do this," said Sue as she struggled out of his arms.

But Anthony didn't allow her to wriggle free. He still held her tightly in his warm arms and said to her, "Can you be honest with me? Don't you like me? Then why do you want me to let you go?"

"Are you out of your mind, Anthony?" said Sue with a frown. Since she was being hugged from behind, she couldn't see his expression. This made her anxious. She said to him in desperation, "Do you really know who I am?"

"Of course I know who you are," said Anthony. "You are Sue. I am sure."

She became speechless with astonishment. She had not expected him to say this. He knew that she was Sue, not Sheryl. He also consciously realized that the one he was holding was Sue, not Sheryl.

As she stopped struggling, Anthony started to kiss her neck and her back. She turned around in his arms to face him and asked him seriously, "Anthony, I'll ask you again for the last time. Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you will not regret it later."

Anthony looked at her for a while. He was hesitating. The truth was that he still did not understand why he had come to her house. Maybe because his self-esteem and confidence had taken a hit Sheryl's house, he had come to Sue to get his confidence back. He knew that Sue loved him.

When she saw him hesitating, Sue couldn't help laughing bitterly. She knew him so well. How could she have had any expectations from him? But when she was ready to move away, Anthony pulled her back and asked, "Sue, are you not willing to spend tonight with me?"

His words cast a magic spell over her. She threw away all her apprehensions and expressed her consent with action, not words.
