ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 33

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 Murphy family to be worried about her.

Charles had dinner together with the Murphy 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 Vleydon now, not at home.”

“How come she is in Vleydon? She is pregnant. Did anything happen to her?” Amy asked Sheryl with great concern.

“You don’t need to worry. The Clark 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.

Sheryl just finished talking with Amy when her phone started to ring. It was from George. She was surprised to see the Caller ID so it took a while before she finally picked it up. “Hello Mr. Obrien? Is there anything that I can help you with?”
“Hello, Miss Courtenay. Have you come back to Ylanbu already?”

“Yes,” Sheryl answered in a curious tone.

“Please come to my office tomorrow to sign some paperwork regarding your termination,” George said politely.

Sheryl was surprised in this result. It was impossible for Holley to agree to terminate her contract so easily unless she was insane.

“Miss Courtenay?” George asked once again when she never responded.

“Okay!” Sheryl finally snapped back from reverie. “See you tomorrow then,” she replied in a soft voice.

“Who were you talking to just now?” Charles startled her as she hung up the phone. “It was George. He called to confirm that I can terminate the contract tomorrow. But I am very confused on why Holley agreed to let me go so easily. Has she suddenly transformed to a good person?”

“I do not think it’s weird at all.” Charles added in an rational tone, “Don’t forget that George is still the boss of the company. He is not as stupid as Holley and he knows that this decision will be good for her.”

Charles’ words did make sense and she nodded slightly.

“It’s too late. I should go home now,” he said looking at his watch. He hugged her tightly before he reminded her, “Don’t forget to pack up your luggage when you are free.”

“Okay.” Sheryl led him to the gate and watched him leave with a smile.

The next morning, she went to George’s office early. Holley was there when she arrived, but she was about to leave. Holley gave a contemptuous snort when she saw her, but she hardly cared. George was sitting behind his desk, as he worked on his laptop.

Upon seeing Sheryl, he greeted her warmly, “Come in, Miss Courtenay. Welcome.”

Somehow he looked unhappy and she guessed that he had argued with Holley about this matter. The atmosphere got very awkward.

She walked up towards him and said hello in a low voice.

George invited Sheryl to sit down, and she did. “Wait a minute, I have asked my assistant to bring the papers here.”

Meanwhile, he gave her a cup of tea and started the conversation. “Miss Courtenay, about that day’s event, I feel very sorry. I have criticized Holley harshly. I hope you can forget all the unpleasantness between us.”

“Mr. Obrien.” Sheryl smirked and added, “If I had treated Holley in the same way, will you forgive me after I apologize?” George was dumbfounded as he didn’t expect Sheryl could turn the tables so quickly. He felt embarrassed and tried to console her, “I understand your feeling. But what happened is all in the past, I hope you can forgive her with your mercy.”

“Mr. Obrien,” Sheryl interrupted him impatiently. “Nobody knows how far she would go into harming others next time. You don’t have to care about my feelings because it makes no sense. You should pay more attention to Holley’s behavior and make sure she won’t make the same mistake again.”
