His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 841

Sheryl went to bed thinking how to start this topic with Charles. However, she woke up the next morning only to find that Charles was waiting for her downstairs. When Amy saw her coming down, she smiled. "Morning Sheryl! We were just about to call you. Charles has been waiting here for quite a long time. Go, change your clothes and freshen up soon."

"Oh! That's a pleasant surprise. So what brings you here?" Sheryl looked at Charles with a perplexed face and smiled.

"Since you don't visit me, I thought of paying you a visit," Charles replied her making a pity face for himself. Shirley was very delighted to see him and was seen to be clinging on to him. Charles continued, "Did you forget it? Clark has his name changed today. So I'm thinking about organizing a gathering to celebrate. And, It's been a while since the last time we met!"

All of a sudden, Sheryl felt as if she had been pulled out from some kind of a trance. She felt guilty as a mother for having neglected her own son. Recently she had been so much engaged in Sue's matters. Poor Charlie, she thought. No, Clark, she corrected herself. The whole thing about changing his name had completely skipped her mind.

She blamed herself for that.

She told Charles, "Just wait for me. I'll get changed and meet you soon!"

Then she rushed upstairs and broke the news to Sue. She wanted to invite Sue to join the gathering, but Sue rejected, saying that it was not suitable for her to attend their family feast.

Sheryl had no choice but to give up.

When she came downstairs, she saw Charles and Shirley playing happily with each other. Shirley's giggles filled the room and Charles' face was glowing to his daughter who had fun with him. The loving picture of the father and daughter warmed Sheryl's heart, and she couldn't help grinning.

"Let's go!" Sheryl walked towards Charles and said to them.

Charles took Shirley in his arms and started walking to his car.

The venue was at a fancy restaurant in the downtown. Its VIP room was big enough to hold more than twenty people. They also invited Gary, Chris' family, and Isla's family. The kids were having fun with each other once they met. Isla was looking for the right opportunity to speak with Sheryl. She glanced at Sheryl, and then to Charles who was receiving guests. Isla was curious about their current situation. She walked towards Sheryl and took her hand in her own. Then she took a few steps with her and asked, "Sher, how is it going between you and Charles? When do you plan to be together? You see, you have cleared the air already, and the kids were also found. Why do you refuse to budge? It's time to move on. In my opinion, you two would better be together as soon as possible. You love him and he loves you. So what are you waiting for?"

"You are right! I always tell Charles the same thing," Chris cut in abruptly. She said to Sheryl, "It will only be better for both of you if you just move on together. And not just that, the kids will also find a complete home for themselves. Come to think of it, they were the ones to suffer the most in the last three years. Poor kids! The new term will begin soon. How should they answer if other kids ask them about their parents?"

The conjugal attempt made by Isla and Chris made Sheryl both upset and amused. She stared at Isla and said, "Isla, even if Chris doesn't understand me, I always think that you do. You know my reasons, don't you?"

"Of course I do!" Isla heaved a sigh. "You can't forget what happened in the past, so you can't accept him right now. And you also think that three years in between had been enough to change everything, right?"
