Stuck In His Heart novel Chapter 21

She was too preoccupied to hear the footsteps approaching.

"What are you looking for in the study, Consuela? I've called you a million times, but you didn't respond," leaning against the door of the study, Sheryl suddenly asked Consuela when she saw her sneaking around.

She knew that Consuela wouldn't steal things, but she was more curious about that.

The bang was like a bolt out of the blue. In the quiet room, Consuela was startled when she just touched the household register. In a panic, she grabbed the dark red booklet and immediately stuffed it into her clothes.

"I'm looking for a book. I was too focused to hear your voice," Consuela said as she stood up calmly, her hands trembling slightly.

‘If my sister finds out this, no matter how much she loves me, she will report to my parents. At that time, I will be speechless,’ Consuela thought.

If she wanted to hide it, she had to keep it as a secret forever.

"Really? Did you find it? " The smile on Sheryl's face was so faint that it seemed that she didn't care about it at all. Even though Consuela tried to hide the household register, she was still able to see it.

If Consuela didn't say it now, she would let her say it in front of the whole family.

"No. I haven't found it yet. Is there anything you want to see me about?" asked Consuela after making her way out.

If she still held on to this matter, she really couldn't make up the reason.

Sheryl took her hand and said sweetly, “It's time for dinner."

Despite of the heavy make-up, Sheryl's eyes wandered around the closed study room and her coat.

In the living room, Johnson, Linda, and Harry had taken their seats together. They were having dinner in a harmonious atmosphere. Consuela was a little worried and restless.

The household register was in her pocket, and she only had to hold it for a little longer. However, her eyelids kept twitching uncontrollably.

Things would not be as perfect as she thought.

She had to leave immediately no matter what would happen later. She had to make sure everything was under control.

She raised her eyes to meet Johnson's slightly turbid eyes, and she could not bear to let her parents worry about her since she had grown up.

However, when she just put down the bowl and stepped out, she was tripped and stumbled forward. She quickly steadied herself by holding the table next to her.

"How could Consuela be so careless?" Sheryl said in a reproachful tone as she got up to help Consuela stand up.

"What are you doing, Consuela?" she asked in disbelief.

This exclamation attracted everyone at the table to put down their chopsticks. Scrutinizing the person like a needle, the dark red notebook fell to the ground at the same time.

"What happened, Consuela?" her mother asked in confusion as she looked at the household register on the ground.

'Is she so devastated that she wants to marry someone?

Is there no better man than Harry in the world?'

Her father looked at her in silence, hoping she could give him an explanation.

"Nothing... However... I want to... " Unable to explain anything, she just hemmed and hawed.

She bent down quickly to pick up the household register and put it back to her pocket. Her movement was so natural that no one noticed the panic in her eyes.

"Is she going to register marriage with another man?" Harry asked jokingly.

Coincidentally, he shared the same thought with Linda. All of a sudden, several people looked at her in disbelief.

Looking at Consuela's pale face and her slightly stiff one, Sheryl knew that what Harry had said was a false accusation.
