His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 932

Upon hearing Cary's words, Sheryl started blushing, feeling shy.

He smiled and try to make her feel at ease. "Sheryl, please don't worry. Charles and I are old friends and this is how we talk. I'm sorry if I offended you," he said kindly.

"No, of course not…" Sheryl waved her hands in denial.

During the meal, Cary and Charles talked about their business half the time. Every now and then, Charles would put the skinned shrimps on Sheryl's plate.

Sheryl, on the other hand, sat quietly by his side without disturbing them.

They were talking about something unfamiliar to her, so she preferred to listen silently.

Cary looked at Charles' delicate care towards Sheryl and couldn't help but sigh, "You two really are a pair of love birds…"

Redness started creeping up Sheryl's face. Charles only smiled and joked, "If you really admire us, why not find a girlfriend of your own? I heard that your grandfather is arranging a blind date for you. Since both of you have this plan, you should return home soon and deal with the arrangement. Don't be rebellious and just end your single life!"

Cary leaned back comfortably in his chair. He smiled bitterly, "I do want a girlfriend, but I need to find the right one. Someone who really loves me. You know, the girls my Grandpa chooses were all born into rich families. Even though they look as innocent and gently as kittens, they can't fool me. They're boring!"

"You're really…" Charles could only shake his head and smile bitterly in return. Cary's problem was exactly the same as his before. He didn't like arranged marriages. Charles agreed to accept the marriage to the Gu family only because of his grandfather. However, he didn't expect that it would turn out to have such a lovely result. He married Sheryl in the end and he knew it was a very lucky thing.

"Your Grandpa is doing it for your sake. He wants you to have a good marriage and family in the future. You should try to understand him," Charles said, looking at Cary.

"Forget it!" Lips curled in disagreement, Cary said seriously, "Look at my parents. They accepted the arrangement from the start. What has become of them now? After the marriage, they couldn't get along well and even cheated on each other. They ended up divorcing! Poor victims of arranged marriage!"

Cary paused, starting to remember what had happened in the past. "When I was a kid, they quarreled and fought even right in front of me. I was so scared. If they really hated each other so much, why did they have me in the first place?"

"Cary…" Charles' voice was full of care.

Cary responded with a smile. "Don't worry. I've gotten over it a long time ago."

He started to realize that Sheryl was also in their company, and apologetically said, "Sorry, Sheryl. That was impolite of me."

She only shook her head, signaling that it was alright. Though Cary behaved like a heartless prominent elite in front of most people, in front of Charles, he acted more like a little brother. He openly told Charles of his worries and weaknesses. Sheryl could only think that the two truly were close to each other.

"Hear me out," Charles tried to persuade. "Even if you don't like these girls, you can still take the invitation. Your grandfather is too old. He wouldn't worry so much if you just obeyed him."

"That's impossible! I won't go on a blind date!" Cary frowned as he answered. "Marriage is about lifelong happiness. I won't follow the wrong footsteps of my parents and just settle with a boring marriage. I must choose someone I really love. She should at least be as gentle as Sheryl."

Upon hearing his words, Charles grasped Sheryl's hand and snapped, "In your dreams! There is only one Sheryl in the world. Don't you even think about finding another!"

"What a shame…" The two made fun of each other. Cary smiled warmly. "Sheryl, if you have a suitable girl friend, remember to introduce her to me. We can just make friends at first. I'm tired of being single. Every time we have a gathering, you all show up in pairs, while I'm alone. I'm so jealous!" he complained.
