On their way home, Sheryl discussed with Charles that she decided not to tell her family what had happened. The least that she wanted was for the Zhao family to be worried about her.
Charles had dinner together with the Zhao Family that evening. Shirley kept asking him regarding the news about Clark, so Abby felt jealous. "Oh, girl. I feel sad that I have taken care of you for so many days but you only care about your brother." Abby feigned an annoyed voice.
Sheryl couldn't help laughing. "In her heart, Clark is even much more important than me," she commented.
Amy felt pleased to see Sheryl and her family happy together. But she was still concerned about Sue, so she made some chicken soup, and had it ready to send to her.
"Sher, I want to know Sue's home address. I am going to send her some soup," Amy said. "You just came back. You better take a rest."
Sheryl stopped her by saying, "Grandma, you don't have to do this. Sue is in M City now, not at home."
"How come she is in M City? She is pregnant. Did anything happen to her?" Amy asked Sheryl with great concern.
"You don't need to worry. The Xiao family will take good care of her. She will be okay." Sheryl smiled and said in a loving tone, "Grandma, I'm your granddaughter, remember? Why does it seem that you have taken Sue as your own granddaughter?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Amy lectured her in a tender voice. "You have all of us in you company," she added. "But Sue is different. She suffered too much."
She almost couldn't refrain her tears. Sheryl consoled her immediately, "Fine, Grandma. I will invite her so she can come visit you when she returns."
Amy was contented with her promise. She then looked at Charles before she dragged Sheryl to a corner. "Sher, I think you have rebuilt your close relationship with Charles. So when do you plan to move back and live with him?"
"Grandma, are you trying to drive me out of this house?" Sheryl said in a confused manner.
"No, of course not!" Amy glared at Sheryl with a concerned look. "I hope you can live with me forever, but we both know it's impossible. You have married Charles and you already have two children. You must move back with him one day."
She sighed, "Moreover, Charles is such a perfect gentleman. I'm sure many girls have dreamed of becoming his wife. If you don't take actions now, he will be taken away by another woman and you will forever regret it."
"Grandma, don't try to convince me with such words." Sheryl looked at her with disappointment. "It sounds like your granddaughter is not as good as those other girls."
"Don't joke around. I'm serious," Amy uttered in a stern tone.
Sheryl could not help but smile, "Actually, I also planned to talk to you about this matter."
She cast a glimpse at Charles who was playing with Shirley on the sofa. The sight of father and daughter really touched her. She then continued, "I plan into move to his house in a few days."
Like what Amy mentioned, Charles had been patiently waiting for her for a long time now. She couldn't let him down.
Moreover, they had regained their closeness once again. Their two kids also had a good sibling relationship. Technically, she had no reason to decline his offer anymore.
"Okay." Amy heaved a sigh of relief as she heard Sheryl's words.
