His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 755

"Haven't I had enough?" Laura repeated Anthony's question in an angry tone. She couldn't believe that her son would think she was being unreasonable. Laura got infuriated when she heard what Anthony said. She didn't think that Anthony would still stand by Sheryl, no matter what happened! Now, not only did he ignore her feelings, he had condemned his own mother! She sneered and said, "What has gotten into you? I'm doing it all for your own good. How can you blame me for that?"

"That's enough!" Anthony shouted. He didn't think that he was wrong, either. "You keep saying that you did that just for me, but do you really know what's good for me? Do you know what I really want?" he asked. His tone was cold and clipped. "All you've given me are material things I don't want. From my childhood until now, you've meddled with my decisions. You controlled everything. You made decisions for me without even considering what I would feel. Those decisions were made for your own good, not mine!"

Anthony was fuming. It seemed that all his feelings bottled up inside of him all those years, being under his mother's control, took over and just blew up. "You..." Laura began. But she, too, was too angry to continue.

Sheryl was standing near them, silently watching everything. "I don't want to be involved in your problems. Anthony, please take care of your mother. But make sure she stays away from me or you won't like what I'll do."

Even though Sheryl tried her best to be polite with her statement, Laura still thought she was looking down at her. Laura demanded that Sheryl apologize for speaking to her so arrogantly, but failed, as Sheryl had no intention to continue their conversation. With Arthur and Amy, Sheryl left Sue's house.

Amy could no longer contain her anger towards Laura. How could she talk that way to such a nice person like Sheryl? "Laura has gone too far today," Amy said. "It was not your fault! How could she blame you? Sher, don't be afraid of her. If she dares to trouble you again, call me and I'll help you take care of her."

Still reeling from what had happened, Amy remained angry. It was all because of Anthony, she thought. "And if Anthony dares to come after you again, you must call me, too. I'll help you take care of him as well."

"Thanks, Grandma Amy. I know you care about me so much. But trust me, and let me handle this myself," Sheryl assured her. "Now I just hope they will never bother me again. If they would just leave me alone," Sheryl said what she really wanted. She didn't want anything to do with them anymore.

"I agree. You would be so much happier without them," Arthur agreed. He said to Sheryl, "I really don't know why Anthony has changed so much. But if Graig were still alive and he saw this, he might die out of anger."

Sheryl didn't want to think about Anthony anymore, and why he had changed into a person she couldn't recognize. From now on, she wouldn't care. It was none of her business. All she wanted now was to go home and be alone.

Junia saw that Laura was finally with Anthony, so she decided to leave. "I feel better now that you're with Anthony, Aunt Laura. I should probably get going. I have a flight back at 2 p.m., so it's time for me to leave."

Junia couldn't help reminding Anthony, "Aunt Laura has been in the hospital for a long time. She's not in very good health. I know you are angry now, but be careful what you say. Don't let her get angry anymore."

Junia left right after, leaving the room with only three people — Laura, Anthony, and Sue.

At first, Sue was very eager to meet Laura, but she did not expect that they would meet during such a situation. She was not prepared at all. 'Will she like me? What will she think of me? What can I do if she doesn't like me?' Sue had a lot of questions. She was so nervous to meet Anthony's mother.

She went to the kitchen and turned off the gas stove. She then prepared some fruit and tea for them. She tried her best to be polite and act composed in front of Laura. "Aunt Laura, please sit down and have some snacks. Make yourself at home." Sue smiled at her, trying to make a good first impression.

It was only during this time that Laura noticed Sue who was standing by her side. She glanced at Sue and studied her. She found her good looking but not as natural and graceful as Sheryl. She really didn't understand her son's taste. Why did he date a girl who was less graceful than the last?

"You are?" Laura asked Sue, not bothering to hide her condescending tone. She found no reason to act differently towards Sue.

Sue just wanted to introduce herself, but Anthony stopped her. He glanced at Sue, with no hint of his feelings for her in his eyes, and said lightly, "She is just my friend." He avoided Sue, unwilling to look her in the eyes.

'Friend? Is that all?'
