His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 763

Amy and Arthur began to realize the change in the atmosphere, so Amy tried to ease the tension. She gave them a rigid smile and said, "Come on, don't be so serious, and take it easy, okay?"

Andy looked at them. "Dad, Mom, Abby had nothing to do with this. It was all on me. It was all my fault," he explained.

Arthur frowned and interrupted Andy. "Enough! I don't care whose fault it was, I just want to know the truth and what it has to do with Sheryl. Tell me about it."

Andy struggled with himself on whether he should tell them. But after a while, he decided to tell them what had happened three years ago. Amy and Arthur were shocked to hear the story of how Andy had concealed the fact that Sheryl was still alive because of the deal between him and Anthony.

Andy tearfully looked at the two of them. "Dad, Mom, I know that you must be disappointed in me. I dare not to ask for your forgiveness, but please let me explain why I did what I did. I didn't have a choice. I did what I had to do to save my son. Back then, Sheryl insisted on concealing her whereabouts. And Anthony was so nice to her. I thought he could take good care of her. So I..."

Amy couldn't help but interrupt him, "How could he... How could he threaten you with that? I thought that he was a good man, but now I know that I was wrong."

Amy's anger was seemingly directed at Anthony. Andy was unsure, but tentatively asked anyway, "Mom, so you're not mad at me, are you?"

He looked at Arthur but couldn't tell if he was angry or not, and this made him anxious.

He continued, "Look, I know it was my fault, so whatever you say to me, I'll take it."

Abby agreed. "Look Mom, Dad. We know you're mad. Whatever you're feeling, if you're mad at us or disappointed, we understand."

Amy sighed. "Andy, yes, you did wrong. But it was for Rick. I can't just blame you for doing what you thought was right for Rick. But being Sheryl's grandmother, I'm really..."

Amy stopped talking suddenly, a sudden pain radiating in her chest. She leaned against the back of the couch with one hand in her chest. Abby rushed up to hold her. "Mom, are you okay?" she asked worriedly. "What is it? How do you feel?"

"Go get her pills, hurry!" Arthur shouted at Abby. Abby ran to Amy's room to get her medicine and water. Amy took both with shaking hands, struggling to drink her medicine. After a few silent moments passed, she began breathing normally and felt better.

Andy looked at his mother-in-law, staring helplessly. While he stood by his decision, he felt very guilty, for what he caused.

Arthur looked at him in understanding. "Andy, no matter what you have done, it's all in the past. Sheryl has returned and Rick is okay now. This is what's important, isn't it?

So there's no need to dig up everything. But there is one thing I need to know and I hope that you can tell me the truth," he said.

Andy nodded. "Of course. What is it?" Andy couldn't help but feel relieved. All those years, all he thought was that his parents-in-law would blame him for everything that had happened.

"Where is Sheryl's other child?" Arthur asked. Amy raised her head and looked at Andy, waiting for his reply.

Andy struggled with himself. He was unsure whether he should tell them that the other child was Charlie. He looked at Amy and Arthur with hesitation.

Abby looked up at him and said, "Well, just say it. There's no point in keeping it a secret anymore."
