ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 2 - Season 8 Episode 69

Sue smiled politely and replied, “I may not come from an influential family, but at least I truly love him. I think you know well that I love Anthony very much.”

“I know. I can see that.” Laura nodded slightly and added, “Although the family background is an important criterion for me in choosing my son’s future wife, I find being kindhearted as the most essential character that the girl should have to listen to my son wholeheartedly.”

“I promise to do it, Mrs. Clark.” Sue continued persuading Laura with a smile, “Mrs. Clark, I admit I have less edge as a candidate for Anthony’s future wife. But I know him for a longer time compared with the other girls so I can understand him more. And…”

She paused for a while and then continued, “I am the only woman who can help him ease the pain he got from his relationship with Sheryl.”

“What do you mean?” Laura frowned upon hearing Sheryl’s name.

“I think you are aware that I have a special relationship with Anthony.” The only purpose Sue came to Laura was to make her approve her date with Anthony so she could reveal their special relationship.

“Yes.” Laura nodded in agreement. She already knew that Sue and Anthony had lived together. “Of course I know that. I’m not young and dumb after all.”

“Mrs. Clark, I think I should tell you something more honestly.” Sue heaved a deep sigh and added, “You know about Anthony’s deep feelings towards Sheryl, right? He must have argued with you a lot for Sheryl’s sake.”

“What do you mean?” Laura asked her in a serious tone.

“Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean anything.” With a smile on her face, Sue continued, “Anthony was displeased with you as you were too harsh with Sheryl before. If you continue to intervene in his personal life, I’m afraid your relationship with him will get worse.”

Having some thought of what to say next, she continued, “If you allow Anthony to be with me, I will help you resolve your conflict. You know Anthony’s temper, right? He would be swayed.”

Hearing what Sue mentioned, Laura felt the need to consider and think of it.

Honestly, she thought of Sue’s words as reasonable.

Laura had destroyed Anthony and Sheryl’s relationship, so he would hate her if she also interfered in his relationship with Sue.

Sue was not as good as Sheryl, but she had an acceptable character so she was not a bad candidate either. What mattered most for Laura was that Sue was always on her side, which made her more satisfied with Sue than Sheryl.

“Are you sure you can?” Laura asked Sue with a frown on her face.

“At least it is worth a try. Why not give it one, right?” Sue answered with a decent smile.

With a hesitating look on her face, Laura finally said, “To be honest, you are not good enough for Anthony.”

She inspected Sue carefully and continued, “Yes you have a pretty face, but what else can I add to that?”

Sue showed no irritation with her words, instead, she kept quiet and listened to her words carefully.

Laura added, “But I prefer you to Sheryl. Okay, I’ll do what you said. I won’t involve myself in your relationship with Anthony.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Clark!” Sue said cheerfully as she had solved one big problem. Now, the only task left of her was to earn Anthony’s heart.

“It’s not time to get happy yet.” Laura glimpsed at Sue and said, “Yes, Anthony has slept with you but I can tell he doesn’t love you. If you want to get his heart, you have to work harder as there is still a long journey for you to go.”

“I understand.” Sue nodded slightly. Then she said to Laura, “I will spare time and effort to get him and make that journey short.”

Sue felt extremely pleased because she had gained Laura’s support. She then went shopping with Laura and bought her many gifts to flatter her. She made Laura happy but in exchange, she made herself miserable for spending so much money.

Sue was going to invite Laura for a dinner together but she refused. “It’s late now. I should go home,” Laura responded.

“I’ll accompany you home.” When they arrived at Laura’s house, Laura came cross Carlson as she got off the car.

These days, Carlson had been busy on Shirley’s disease so he had no time to notice what Laura did recently. When he saw Laura had returned, he asked her with a frown, “Where did you go?”

Laura impatiently answered, “I just went shopping today. Should I get your permission in advance?”

As Carlson didn’t want to argue with her, he just said, “Fine. Just do whatever you want. I won’t bother you.”

Carlson was quite indifferent with Laura because of the matter with Shirley.

Isla had invited Sheryl for dinner in a restaurant.

Isla, Aron and Amanda had waited for a long while. Amanda stood at the gate of the restaurant, expecting to see Charlie and Shirley arrive early.

She felt that she had been waiting for a century so she couldn’t help but turn to Isla and asked, “Mom, when will Charlie and Shirley arrive?”

“They will be here soon.” Isla was also very excited to see Sheryl. She felt nervous because it would be her first time to meet Sheryl after her recovery.

Shortly, she heard a sound of footsteps. She stood up immediately and opened the door of the private room. Then she spotted Sheryl and Shirley.

Isla ran to give her a huge hug. She didn’t say anything but began crying.

“Don’t cry, sweetie.” Sheryl refrained her emotion and patted Isla’s back to console her.

Isla pacified her mood and told Sheryl, “You are finally back.”

She actually returned with all her memories.

Wiping her tears, Isla said, “I have managed your company for a long time, so when will I receive my salary?”

Sheryl stared into Isla and burst into laughter as she heard her joking words. With that, the atmosphere in the room got lighter and more pleasant.

Sheryl chided her lovingly, “I just came back and the first thing you do is asking for my money. Is that the right thing to do? You really hurt my feelings.”

Isla replied in a teasing tone, “That’s your punishment for leaving us for so long.”

“Fine. I’ll try my best to make amends to you,” Sheryl answered Isla. She suddenly gripped Isla’s hands tightly and said, “Isla, I miss you so much.”

“Oh, that sounds so disgusting.” Isla couldn’t hold her emotion any long so she abruptly burst into tears upon hearing Sheryl’s words.

At this moment, Aron came up and persuaded them, “Stop crying. Your weird behaviors have freaked the two kids out.”
