His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 893

"Come on now, please don't get mad at me…" Sheryl pleaded gently when she saw that Charles was frustrated. In consolation, she said, "I know I promised that I would move back when Sue's issue was settled, but… now something new popped up, and it's completely beyond anyone's expectations."

Still not receiving a response from Charles, Sue dragged out a sigh. "Sue's condition isn't very stable these days. Because of what happened, I'm afraid she won't be able to cope... I'm really worried about her right now. As her friend, I need to give her my support. Do you understand?"

"So…" Charles turned slowly to meet Sheryl's eyes. "When Sue's issue is settled, you won't have any excuse to not move back. Do you promise that?"

"Yes, dear. I promise you." With a tender smile, Sheryl confirmed it without hesitation. "I've also promised Grandma that I will change my name back to my original one in a couple days."

The news shocked Charles for a moment, but a genuinely happy and sweet smile replaced his startled expression.

"Good. I'm really glad to hear that. We should celebrate." Charles was delighted.

At noon, he took Sheryl out for lunch. After the meal, he wanted to have a leisurely walk with her to relax them both. Unluckily for him, he received a business call, which he answered begrudgingly. He had to cut their time together short and head back to work.

Sheryl went straight back to the Zhao family house when Charles left.

Meanwhile, Anthony took Sue to dine out as well. Knowing that Sue was in low spirits, he thought to take her to an area in the surrounding countryside for some fresh air. They drove out for over an hour before arriving at the spot, and Anthony finally spoke.

"Here we are."

"What is this place?" Sue asked. It seemed like a farm, with beautiful rustic scenery around them, but she wasn't in the best mood to appreciate the environment. What was on her mind still plagued her.

"This is my favorite place. I used to come here often, way back. The place always helped me clear my head." Anthony took her hand in his. "I'll take you to a good spot. I'm sure you'll like it. Come on." He tugged her gently.

Sue had no idea what Anthony was up to, but as he pulled her along, she somehow felt that the tension was leaving her bit by bit. Staring at his back, she thought she could relax and just trust in him, allowing him to lead her wherever he was going.

On the way there, Anthony was afraid that Sue wouldn't be able to keep up because of her physical condition, so he walked at a slower pace so that she would feel more comfortable.

They walked through a long, dry stretch of land and it took them about ten minutes before they arrived at a vast lake where Anthony finally stopped his steps.

"Here it is." He gestured towards the lake.

"Why did you bring me here?" Sue asked doubtfully as she stared at the placid lake.

"You'll know in a minute," he replied, adding to the mystery of it all. He headed towards a cabin nearby and went inside to fetch a box. Inside the container were fishing tools. It seemed as though he had done all that hundreds of times.

Sue gave him a blank look. "You drove us all the way out here so you can go fishing?"

"Yes, that's right." He simply nodded his head in earnest. He handed Sue a fishing rod after preparing the bait. "Wanna have a go?"

Sue sighed. Since they were already all the way out there, she thought that she might as well take the opportunity to put herself at ease and go fishing.

Anthony took his own rod and sat beside Sue on the dock. Neither of them spoke. After a while, Sue's rod began shaking as she felt something tug at the string. A fish had taken the bait.

Seeing the line moving, Sue didn't know what to do. "Antho… Anthony," she asked unsurely, "what… what should I do now?"
