His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 832

Sheryl held Peggy's hand and said sweetly, "Aunt Peggy, just call me Sher." She and Sue might have had their differences, but she couldn't bear to see Sue getting bullied by her greedy, shameless family. She wanted to get on Peggy's good side so she could find her weakness and help Sue get rid of them.

Meanwhile, Allen tenderly helped Doris into a chair. As soon as Doris was seated, she looked up at Sue and commanded, "Hey! Get me a glass of water!" Her tone was rude and arrogant, as if Sue were her servant instead of the host. At home, she never did any housework, and here in Sue's house, she acted exactly the same way, even though she was only a guest.

Hearing Doris' words, Sheryl couldn't help frowning. 'This woman is really something, ' she thought. 'I have never met anyone so disrespectful to their future in-laws, and she has not even married to Allen yet!'

"Sher, why don't you come and take a seat," Peggy said warmly, as she reached out and pulled Sheryl into the seat next to her. Sheryl looked at Doris and asked casually, "She's pregnant, isn't she?" Doris' huge stomach made her condition obvious.

"Yes, four months pregnant! That's why I want them to hold the wedding ceremony as soon as possible, before her stomach gets too big to be hidden." Peggy's entire face lit up happily as she talked. She treated Doris much better than she treated her own daughter because she was pregnant with the Wang bloodline.

"Four months? I thought it was much more than that!" Sheryl blurted, staring at Doris' tummy. Then she quickly clapped her hand to her mouth as she realized what she had just said.

Doris' face went pale as all the blood drained out of her face. Her hands shook even as she slammed her chopsticks down on the table and demanded, "What are you trying to say? Are you implying that the baby is not Allen's?" She was terrified that they would find out the truth and she automatically became defensive before this strange woman ended up giving away her secret.

"Calm down, Doris. That's not what Sher means," Sue immediately came to the rescue. She could suffer Doris' treatment in silence, but she wasn't going to let her mistreat Sheryl, too.

Peggy frowned in confusion and asked, "Why are you so worried?" She noticed that Doris' face had now turned red, which made her wonder if Sheryl had accidentally hit on the truth.

Doris finally realized that she was acting strangely and could potentially give herself away. She quickly returned to her seat in embarrassment and smiled sheepishly. Like a good fiance, Allen held her hand supportively but his efforts seemed futile. Doris' face still had a sour expression written all over it.

Sheryl observed the look on Doris' face and thought it was a strong indicator of the younger woman's guilt.

It was just a careless statement, yet produced such a big reaction. 'Is there a possibility that the baby is not Allen's?' she thought.

'If it isn't, then things are going to get interesting.'

"Sue, come and join us! Here, take a seat." Sheryl pulled Sue's hand and nudged her into the seat next to her. It was unbearable to watch Sue hurrying here and there serving everyone while the rest of her family didn't even lift a finger to help her. It was as though she was their maid instead of their host.

'Sue is not their servant. She's a part of the family too, she can't let herself sink to that level, ' Sheryl thought grimly. The Wang family's attitude was making her furious. She felt sorry for Sue, who had lived her whole life like this.

"Yes, yes, you are right. Sue, you haven't sat down at all. Come and join us for a while. You must be tired after serving us the whole day," Peggy smiled at her daughter warmly and said. Since there was an outsider present, she treated Sue better than usual.

Sue sat down next to Sheryl and sent a grateful look in her direction.

Sheryl looked over at Doris, who was still scowling unhappily. She smiled sweetly and said, "I hope you didn't take any offense at my words. I truly didn't mean anything. I was just surprised at the size of your tummy and got a bit carried away."

"Then what did you mean by those words? Who the hell do you think you are? You're an outsider. This is none of your business!" Doris shouted defensively. She had thought the danger had passed but this damn woman was bringing it up again. She felt everyone's eyes on her and squirmed uncomfortably. Her expression was dark, making her pretty face look totally different.

Sheryl observed Doris' behavior in silence and knew that her suspicions had been confirmed.

She faked an apologetic laugh and said, "I'm sorry, you got my intentions all wrong. I am a mother myself, why would I..."
