His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 807

Anthony's mindset towards Sue was not hidden from her. She knew that he just used her to just deal with his separation pangs with Sheryl. But to hear it from him was all the more heartbreaking. Sue froze when she heard Anthony. Yes, it seemed that he was right. She was nobody to him, so she wasn't qualified to intervene in his life.

Sue gave him a bitter smile and said, "Well, fine, you're right. It's not up to me to be in charge of you. You can enjoy your wine. I'll take my leave."

Sue's voice choked as she spoke these words. She was hurt, angry and disappointed beyond word. She just got up and began to leave. A moment more with Anthony and she would lose her temper completely.

As she turned around and walked away from Anthony, she was stopped by a thud on the ground. She turned around to find Anthony lying on the ground unconscious.

"Anthony! Oh, my..." She rushed back to see if he was alright. She checked if his breathing was normal and also if he got bruised due to the fall. After checking him properly, she was assured that he was absolutely alright. He just fell asleep for being drunk.

Sue was rendered speechless when she saw Anthony's face as he fell into a deep slumber. She could certainly not leave him behind in this state. She payed the bill and got Anthony into the car with the help of a waiter. Initially, she planned to send him to his house, but due to being overtly drunk, Anthony was feeling very sick. Hence, she had no choice but to find him a hotel nearby.

The moment she laid him down on the hotel bed, he threw up. It was certainly not easy to look after a drunkard. All through the first half of the night, Anthony kept puking and Sue kept cleaning up the mess. She put off his dirty shirt and cleaned his body. While washing his clothes, she heard him mumbling and came running to see if he needed anything.

She gave him some warm water to drink, in order to make him feel better.

And just like this, she didn't even realize when the clock struck two.

By the time Anthony was feeling a little better and fell into a relaxing sleep, Sue was a bit tired. She lied in the sofa to take a nap. She was waken by a call near five o'clock in the morning.

Sue forced herself to open her eyes to see whose call it was at the wee hours of the morning and the number that flashed on her mobile screen made her spring up on the sofa. A stern frown settled on her face as she glanced at her phone and then at Anthony. Then she proceeded to the balcony silently to answer the phone.

It was no sooner than she had just pressed the receiving icon on her phone, she was exposed to a loud shriek from the other side. It was a woman's voice shouting and cursing her by using all the dirty and evil words. Sue took a while before she was confirmed that it was her mother on the other side.

Sue remained silent without interrupting her mother. This was something that happened often. She just heard it expressionlessly until her mother got bored and stopped.

After a while as she could hear her mother's breathing pattern to come back to normal, Sue spoke, "Are you happy now?"

"You little slut. Did you think that you can run away from me? See, I found you out," Peggy Li blurted. Peggy Li came from a typical rural background. She didn't have a good education and hadn't see the world beyond her village. In her opinion, daughters could never be valued.

This was very common notion in rural areas. Sue was her first born. After Sue was born, she was abused by one and all in her husband's family, especially her mother-in-law. In order to earn some dignity for herself, she planned to continue having children until she could have a son. But unfortunately for her, even the next two children were girls.

Peggy Li was desperate for a son. But their financial constraint did not support the idea. Hence, she decided to put Sue's two younger sisters up for adoption. Sue was spared because she was old enough to help with some household work.

Several years later, the living condition of her family got a little better, so Peggy got pregnant once again. This time her dreams came true and she finally had a son.

What happened next? As it happened in such families often -- the boy became the center of attraction for the whole family. He got everything he wanted at the drop of a hat while Sue was completely ignored and deprived. Having suffered living in that kind of family, Sue managed to leave her house when she turned eighteen. She found a job to support herself and never got back again.

A few years ago, Sue got acquainted with some models by chance. From that time onwards, she entered the modelling industry. She made enough money from her modelling career that she could save some money. Though she didn't want to go back home, she had been sending almost 100, 000 dollars to her family.

Her parents could have used that money to build a house for themselves but her younger brother, Allen Wang, had lost all the money in gamble.
