Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 3

All the lights at the Ou Family's old mansion were on. Outside, Sherry patiently waited for Jeremy's arrival.

Although it was summertime, the wind was cool all year round because it was near the sea. Wearing only a long dress, Sherry trembled from the chill.

But as soon as she saw the familiar Lamborghini roll up to the driveway, her heart suddenly flooded with warmth.

The cold and indifferent attitude she had towards Jeremy earlier had suddenly disappeared. When Jeremy came out of the car, he came up to her and took her hand. The two of them entered the mansion, as Jeremy's grandfather greeted them at the door.

There was a tenderness on Jeremy's face as he greeted his grandfather. "Grandpa, I've brought Sherry back to see you."

When she heard this, there was a trace of sadness in Sherry eyes that disappeared soon after it came. With a smile, she snuggled up to Jeremy lovingly in a way that would have made other couples jealous.

They always pretended to be a loving couple whenever they came back to the old mansion. "I'm very glad to see you two back. You're always welcome here!" Jeremy's grandfather replied with a nod.

"By the way, you two better hurry up! I can't wait any no longer to get a grandchild!" he added with a chuckle.

Sherry stiffened a bit, the smile on her face trembling uneasily.

It was a good thing Jeremy was able to react quickly. "We don't have to rush these things, Grandpa. Plus, Sherry and I want to spend some more alone time together for couple more years or so!"

Sherry sighed with relief in her heart. Even though she felt sad about it, she flashed a dazzling smile and acted a bit embarrassed. "Grandpa, we have our own plans on these things. Don't worry about it."

Seeing both of them were like this, Jeremy's grandfather didn't say anything more. He simply waved his hand. "Fine. Every time I tell you this, you tell me the same old thing! No worries. I know that my future grandchild would be worth the wait."

Afterwards, they walked over to the other end of the mansion to the open-air banquet.

As soon as Jeremy sat down on the chair, his phone rang.

Although Sherry didn't know who it was, she could only guess that it was most likely some woman he was seeing.

Looking at the phone screen, Jeremy frowned and stood up. "Excuse me. I have to leave for a while." Before Sherry could say anything, Jeremy had already turned and left.

As she watched him walk away, Sherry tried to force a smile, but her heart was overflowing with sadness.

'He can't even spare some time with me even when we're here...

Before we got married, he would constantly tell me how much he wished that he could spend every second with me.'

"What's with that face? You don't want him to leave?"

A gentle and playful voice suddenly called out at Sherry. "It doesn't matter. I'll keep you company while he's gone."

Looking up, Sherry saw a handsome man standing in front of her. The corner of his lips turned into a sly smile.
