His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 754

Sheryl was done with all of it. Laura had been pestering her for far too long, and if she could only get a hold of Anthony, she wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.

She turned to Sue and said, "I know Anthony's at your place. Please just tell him I need to speak to him."

Sue didn't know much about the Laura issue. All she knew was that Anthony didn't want to see Sheryl at all, so she plastered on a crafted, innocent expression. "Don't be silly. Anthony is your boyfriend. Why would he be in my house?"

Sheryl's jaw tightened. "Stop pretending." "Sue, we used to be good friends. I don't care what you and Anthony do together, that's your business. Right now, I just need to find him and have him sort things out with his mother so that they'll leave me alone. I just want to be with my daughter as soon as possible."

It was quite a plea, but Sue remained stubborn. "I told you. He's not here." She wasn't certain about Sheryl's motives. But judging from the people coming with her, there must be something bad. She would not sell Anthony.

"So? Will you let me see him?" Sheryl's expression turned hard, and determined. "Or should I just go in and find him myself?"

The words ticked Sue off. "Excuse me?" She stepped forward in warning. "Don't go overboard, Sheryl. This is my home. You have no right to come barging in when you want to."

The smile on her face was quite hostile. "You're his girlfriend," she taunted, "he's missing, and this is where you look for him? You're being ridiculous."

Something snapped in Sheryl, and that wasn't lost on the other woman. "Sue," her voice went dangerously low. "You'd better bring him out here, right now, or you're not going back in that house with your face in order." Sue could hear the deep anger in her voice, but she resisted.

Sheryl took a deep breath to calm herself, and yelled, "Anthony, get out here now! You think you can get away with what you've done without facing the consequences? Be a damn man and sort this out yourself. I'm not going to keep fixing the mess you've made."

Anthony was hidden away in Sue's bedroom, trying not to listen to what was going on outside. But he couldn't ignore Sheryl's raised voice.

A wry laugh escaped him. He wanted to explain himself to Sheryl and make it right. He weighed his options in his head, and he knew that it would be a bad time to come out.

If he proved Sheryl right and came out of Sue's bedroom, it would mean a definite end to their relationship.

To Anthony's mind, it was just a little spat with his girlfriend. Once she calmed down, they could go back to normal.

His head was full of excuses, trying to justify himself, so he wouldn't dare come out and ruin their relationship for all those years.

While he was lost in his own thoughts, the door burst open with a loud thump. It was Sheryl. He was stunned frozen in his place.

The shame took over him. "Sher, I..."

"I don't care," Sheryl cut him off. When she pushed past Sue and walked into her bedroom, she was not at all surprised to find Anthony there.

"I'm not here to deal with you. Someone's looking for you, and I need you to sort things out with her so she'll leave me alone."

She turned around to someone Anthony couldn't see. "Just get in. You're looking for him, aren't you?"

When Anthony took a step forward, he wasn't pleased about the surprise. Laura and Junia were standing just outside. "What are you doing here?"
