His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 776

Leila narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Charlie. After all he was brought up by her. So she was still soft towards him. She paused for a second and said, "Charlie, as long as you still take me as your mother and promise that you'll take my side, I'll let you go. We will stay together like before. What do you think of it?"

Hearing her offer, Shirley held Charlie's hand tightly out of fear. Being a sensitive child, she could sense the danger looming over her head. She was afraid that she would be left alone.

Charlie held Shirley's hand and patted on the back of her hand to make her feel comfortable.

Leila saw Charlie's reactions and understood his choice. So she got slightly annoyed and said impatiently, "Have you decided it? I tell you, you have just one chance. If you choose the wrong side, you'll lose it all."

"Stop daydreaming," Charlie said with a sarcastic smile on his face. He added, "I'll never take your side. I'll be here with Shirley."

"You…" Leila sneered at him as she got enraged by his attitude. Charlie had always been defiant towards her. Then she looked into his eyes and the anger on her face broke into a wicked smile. "Fine. Just remember what you said. I hope you will never get remorseful for today's choice," she spoke to warn him.

She then took a very close look at Shirley. Although she was just a kid at the moment, it couldn't be denied that she already had an attractive face and a striking similarity with Sheryl. Indisputably, she was Sheryl' own daughter. That was to say Sheryl was pregnant with twins three years ago. Hence after Leila took away the son from her, she must have delivered this girl.

The more Leila thought about all this, she grew more and more envious of Sheryl. Why had she not killed Sheryl three years ago?

As she glanced at both the kids, her heart was getting filled with hatred for Sheryl. Both these kids reminded her of the strong bond between Charles and Sheryl that could not be shaken. "Stop looking at me like that," Leila said as she put on a sarcastic smile on her face. She looked at Shirley in a vicious manner and said, "You should blame your mom for all this. You know what your mom is..."

"Enough!" Charlie cut her in impatiently and stepped forward in front of Shirley. Shirley had started shivering out of fear. The recently developed autism symptom, plus being detained here, had nearly scared Shirley out of her wits. If Leila continued to threaten her, Shirley was at a risk of being stimulated, leading her psychological conditions to be triggered all over again.

Charlie covered Shirley to avoid her from being exposed to Leila's atrocities. He then gave a stern and indifferent look at her and said in a cold voice, "If you have finished speaking what you wanted to say, just get out."

There was something about Charlie's attitude that was intimidating for Leila. She didn't know why, but she always had a tinge of fear toward Charlie. Maybe this boy got the sternness from his father.

So she just put down the meals and said ruthlessly, "Just eat your food now. I don't want you to starve to death over here."

Then she just turned around and slammed the door before she left. Charlie lifted the bowl and fed Shirley clumsily before he began to eat.

Shirley felt assured to have Charlie by her side. But she became restless and nervous. She held Charlie's hand with her trembling hands and asked in tearful voice, "Charlie, when could we leave from here? I… I miss my mom and Uncle Charles."

"Soon," Charlie replied briefly with a stiff frown set on his face. In the beginning, Leila had just kidnapped Shirley. But she had been spotted by Charlie. He had stopped her without hesitation. Hence she had had no choice but to take Charlie away as well. Now he was glad that he had been kidnapped as well. Otherwise, Shirley would face the terrible situation all by herself.

He tried to ease Shirley's fear and said softly, "We'll get out here soon, trust me."

He believed Charles would be able to find them out very soon. But he couldn't just sit there and wait. He had to do something, so that they could leave the place as quickly as possible.

As Leila walked out of the room, her heart was filled with remorse and anger. Charlie's indifference towards her made her feel bitter and angry every time she thought about it. She couldn't understand why Charlie had never been kind to her.

She really treated Charlie like her own son all the time. But unfortunately Charlie had always been hostile towards her.
