ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 2 - Season 9 Episode 78

“What… what do you want to do?” There was a sudden pink glow on Sheryl’s cheeks and sparkle in her eyes. She could not stare into Charles’ eyes consistently. She lowered her eyes, feeling shy and nervous at the same time. She then gave him a soft nudge and spoke, lowering her voice, “Just stop it now. Stand up, okay?”

“Sher, you are so beautiful,” Charles just ignored her words as he spoke in a deep voice and seized her hands. He kept flirting with her by softly brushed her palm with his fingers and looked into her eyes lovingly.

Sheryl blushed again and lowered her eyes hastily. She then glanced at Charles and whispered softly, “That’s enough. Grandma will come out soon.”

“So what…” Charles answered with a shrug, keeping his gaze fixed into her eyes. Sheryl tried to shove Charles back. But he even didn’t budge. His entire body was pressed against her like a huge mountain. Secretly, Sheryl loved the feel of his body against hers. Hence all her resisting gestures fell flat very quickly and she found herself giving in to Charles very soon.

Charles placed his hand on Sheryl’s head and gently smoothed her hairs back and spoke in a soft voice, “We are a legally married couple. Why couldn’t we canoodle with each other?”

“Who is your legal wife? I don’t think it’s me,” Sheryl replied in a sour voice. “I think it’s Autumn who is actually your legal wife. Please don’t forget that I am Sheryl,” Sheryl unconsciously challenged Charles. She stole her eyes, giving a naughty smile.

Her words irked Charles. He narrowed his eyes out of rage and stared at Sheryl, “Sher, are you… are you challenging me now?”

But Sheryl maintained her impish smile at the corner of her lips without saying anything. She lowered her head slightly.
Charles could not hold it any longer. Immediately, he pinned her hands over her head and fixed her body under him. Suddenly, Sheryl realized that she had made him angry. But before she could open her mouth to beg for mercy, he immediately lowered his head and blocked her mouth with a passionate kiss.

Then he gently lifted her pretty face and kisses landed on her head, eyes and nose. Finally, he couldn’t hold his emotions and kissed her mouth. He had been dreaming of this moment and now he felt fulfilled as he could love her the way he wanted to.

“Mm…” Sheryl’s voice was blocked by his kiss. In the beginning, Sheryl felt that it was not an appropriate time and place. But the emotions and feelings brought by the kiss were so overwhelming that she couldn’t help throwing her arms around his neck.

Charles held Sheryl tightly, ignoring her slight resistances. He fixed her tightly in his hug and kissed her fondly. Gradually she stopped struggling and stared dazedly at Charles who had already closed his eyes and enjoyed their kiss. His face so close and his eyes closed in a deep and passionate kiss. Looking at his closed eyes, Sheryl didn’t even realize that she also closed her eyes and deepened this kiss.

“Hem…” An apologetic cough interrupted their blissful moment.

Sheryl came back to her senses and immediately shove Charles away.

She then stood awkwardly with blushed face. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself somewhere.

“Aunt… Auntie, how come you have come back so early?” Sheryl asked Abby in an embarrassing voice, stealing her eyes from Andy and Abby.

Abby and Andy just stood beside Sheryl and said in a joking voice, “If we didn’t come back early, you would have already made a pornographic movie.”

Hearing this, Sheryl turned more red with embarrassment. She lowered her head in wanting to avoid their eyes. She could not find words for a counter reply.

“No… it is nothing like that. It’s not what you have imagined…” Sheryl wanted to deny. But considering what they saw, Sheryl really did not know how to explain.

“Fine, fine. I understand. You don’t need to explain,” Abby replied softly with a smile. “You have been separated for such a long time. It is normal that you can’t resist canoodling just like water drops on burning rocks. We truly understand,” Abby continued with a wink.

Seeing Sheryl’s more and more blushed face, Abby couldn’t help laughing and kept on pulling her leg. “But I also want to remind you that you still should pay attention to surroundings,” she continued trying to be stern. “After all, this is a public place and we also have some kids here. What do you think of it?”

“Auntie, please don’t talk like this any more.” The more Abby spoke, the more embarrassed she was. However, Charles was absolutely unmoved by Abby’s words. He just stood beside Sheryl without the slightest mark of embarrassment on his face.

Sheryl glimpsed at Abby and managed to explain, “It is not what you think of…” Seeing Abby’s and Andy’s bantering expressions, Sheryl was a little annoyed and suddenly smacked Charles on his shoulder, “Give them a reasonable explanation.”

But Charles had a cool expression on his face. He just put an arm around Sheryl’s shoulder and stated in a faint voice, “Fine. Next time I will find a private place. You won’t see our affairs any more.”

Sheryl felt like being hit by whip as she heard Charles’ words. She glared at him immediately. Yet, there was no mark of shame on his face. She felt that her only resort was to just run away and hide somewhere. Abby was shaking with laughter. Andy, standing beside Abby, patted her and said smilingly, “Fine. You have laughed a lot. Just give them some space now and don’t tease her any more, okay?”

“Okay, okay. I won’t laugh…” Abby nodded but burst into laughter the next moment. Then she tried to stop her laughter once again and tried to make a serious face. Although Abby promised not to laugh, her eyes were still full of amusement. Sheryl had no choice but stare at Abby helplessly and speechlessly.

She bitterly glared at Charles and even wanted to beat him.

But even if she beat him now, it couldn’t make up for anything. She had already felt so humiliated in front of her uncle and aunt.

“What are you all doing there? The dinner is already served,” Amy came out and inquired curiously. Amy was carrying the dishes from the kitchen and saw the four of them standing in front of each other. “Grandma, I will help you to set the table.” Sheryl finally found an excuse to leave the place. She just vanished out of that place in no time and went into the kitchen.

Watching Sheryl run away, Abby couldn’t hold her emotions any more and burst into laugh.

Once out of the prying eye of Abby, Sheryl could not help thinking about the long kiss. It seemed that she was still in a trance. Charles’ face with his eyes closed resting on her face kept looming in front of her eyes and brought a soft smile on her lips. Amy marked that Sheryl was unmindful and asked, “Sher, what are you thinking of?”

“Nothing. Nothing at all,” Sheryl pulled herself out of her lovelorn state and shook her head as she replied to Amy.

Then she took the dishes out with Amy. After that, she went upstairs to call Sue for the dinner.

Since Clark was there with Shirley, Sheryl didn’t have to worry about her. As she entered Sue’s room, she found she lying on the bed. It seemed that she is in a deep slumber.

The air conditioner was on which made the temperature inside the room cool.

Sheryl silently took a blanket that was lying on the sofa and covered Sue with it to make her comfortable. The moment, Sheryl put the blanket on Sue, she woke up.

“Do you fall asleep?” Sheryl inquired in a soft voice.

“Yes,” Sue spoke in a sleepy voice and nodded her head slightly. Sue turned towards Sheryl and said, “I don’t know why, these days, I always feel extremely tired and fall asleep easily.” She then sat up on the bed and rubbed her eyes with her hands.

Sheryl placed her hand on her shoulder and replied with a smiling face, “It is normal during your early pregnancy. I felt the same way when I was pregnant.

Come, let’s go for dinner. Everyone is waiting for us.”

“No, thanks,” Sue shook her head and declined. “I have no appetite to eat anything. Leave me alone. Please go and enjoy your dinner,” Sue continued.

“Sue…” Sheryl said with furrowed brows. She sounded stern this time. She paused for a while and spoke again with a compassionate voice, “I understand the last few days have been extremely tormenting for you. But you can’t allow them to affect yourself. You still need to take care of yourself. Don’t push yourself so hard. No matter what happened, your only priority right now is your baby.”

She touched Sue’s belly softly and continued, “You need to give up all of your previous eating habits. You should work and rest in a healthy and regular manner. You can starve yourself but not your kid.”

Sheryl smiled and keeping persuading her, “So how about we go downstairs and… eat something? Even if you don’t have an appetite, you have to eat properly for your kid’s sake. What do you think of it?”

“Fine.” Sue finally nodded her head and accept Sheryl’s suggestions.

Just when Sheryl and Sue came downstairs, Shirley and Clark were already seated on the dining table. Charles had left the seat beside him for Sheryl. But Sheryl was busy taking care of Sue. All her attention was on Sue. In fact she herself ate very scantily.

Abby knew what Sue had done to Sheryl before. Although Sue’s previous actions didn’t bring too much harm to Sheryl, but Abby still felt slightly uncomfortable seeing Sheryl treat Sue so kindly.
