ENCHANTED LOVE - Season 7 Episode 91

Anthony went to Sheryl’s home in the evening. When he saw Charlie there, he already expected that Charles would also come later. He bought some vegetables from the market because he was planning to prepare dinner for Sheryl so he told Nancy to just rest. Then he went to the kitchen and began preparing dinner.

When Anthony was about to put the plate of roasted fish on the table, the door suddenly opened. He wasn’t surprised to see Charles and Sheryl come home together. So, he just casually said, “Oh, you’re finally home. I made your favorite dishes. Go wash your hands and let’s have dinner.”

“Why are you here?” Sheryl asked. She was surprised to see Anthony in her home because he didn’t inform her.

“I bought some clothes and fruits for Shirley earlier this afternoon. Mr. Taylor’s son is also here, so I thought of making dinner for them. But now that you and Mr. Taylor are finally here, we can have dinner all together,” Anthony explained.

Then he turned to Charles and said, “Mr. Taylor, please stay and have dinner with us.” Anthony was acting like a host and Charles felt discontented of him. He refused the offer coldly, “No, thanks. Charlie and I must go home now.”

“Hold on!” Anthony stopped Charles from leaving. “The dinner is ready. Besides, Sheryl and I have already taken you as our friend. It would be our pleasure to have a dinner with you.”

Sheryl looked at Charles and also said, “Yes, that’s right. Just stay and have dinner with us.”

Charles eventually acceded. However, he still felt uncomfortable seeing Anthony acting like the host of this family.

Anthony went to the kitchen while Charles played with the two children. Suddenly, Shirley called out, “Uncle Charles.” Shirley also liked Charles the way he liked Charlie. She ran to him, jumped into his arms and said, “Charlie told me that you bought a new toy for him. Can I also play with it?

“Sure!” Charles answered. He then rubbed Shirley’s head happily.

“I will buy you one if you also like that toy,” Anthony said as he came out of the kitchen. He overheard Shirley’s request and felt a little jealous seeing Shirley’s fondness to Charles.

Although he wasn’t Shirley’s father, he treated her as his own. The love and care he gave to Shirley was even more than a real father could give to his child.

On the other hand, Charles who was Shirley’s biological father had never done anything for her.

That was why Anthony got very uncomfortable when he saw Shirley so close to Charles.

“No, Tony,” Shirley rejected. “I just want to go to Charlie’s home and play it with him,” she added.

“Okay, you are welcome to our home anytime.” Charles let out a soft laugh upon hearing Shirley’s reply. He couldn’t hide his amusement. ‘My daughter is so considerate,’ he thought.

‘Anthony must feel defeated by her words.’

Because of Shirley’s words and Charles’ victorious laugh, Anthony’s face dimmed.

At the dinner table, Anthony sat beside Sheryl who was just quiet the whole time. While eating, Charles turned to Charlie and asked, “Charlie, how about going out to play tomorrow?”

“Great!” Charlie agreed excitedly. When he looked at Shirley, he also saw the eagerness in her eyes so he turned to his father and asked, “Can Shirley join us?”

“Of course!” Charles replied. Then he turned to Shirley and said with a smile, “Shirley, you can go with us if you want to.”

Shirley clapped her hands in joy. “Yehey! I can go out and play with Charlie!”

Shirley was so excited that she hugged Charles.

“Shirley!” Anthony abruptly called her attention. With an arched brow, he said, “If you want to go out tomorrow, I can go with you.”

“No!” Shirley refused. “I want to go with Charlie,” she said, looking dejected.

“Shirley!” Anthony’s face dimmed. He told Shirley in a serious tone, “Don’t be naughty.”

Sheryl noticed that Anthony’s reactions were weird. She glimpsed at him and said, “Just let her go with Charlie.”

Sheryl couldn’t see anything wrong with Shirley going out with Charlie. Moreover, she would also be with them.

“How can you allow her to do so?”

Anthony got a little annoyed knowing that Sheryl was also against him. He arched a brow and said to Sheryl, “Mr. Taylor is very busy every day and hardly has time to accompany his son. I don’t think it’s good that we bother them when they can finally get a chance to bond.” “No, we don’t mind,” Charles abruptly answered. Then he cast Anthony a defiant glance.

Anthony frowned slightly and continued with his standpoint to Sheryl. “I still think that Shirley should go with us. Let’s just give Mr. Taylor and his son a time of their own. How about going to the amusement park tomorrow?” he suggested.

Sheryl drank a bit of her soup and replied, “We can’t go tomorrow.”

She looked at Anthony and added, “Mr. Taylor has scheduled a hiking activity with all the models in his company tomorrow so I won’t be available.”

She took a glance at Shirley and added, “I will take care of Shirley. Don’t worry.”

“Both you and Shirley will go hiking tomorrow?” Anthony asked in surprise. Anthony obviously felt sad. ‘Has Sheryl begun dating Charles?’ he wondered.

“Yes.” Sheryl nodded her head. “Other models will also go and it’s okay if Shirley wants to join us,” Sheryl added.

“But…” Anthony hesitated for a moment. Anthony’s expression clearly showed his discontent when he continued, “Can you not go hiking?”

Sheryl looked at Anthony in awe. Anthony suddenly gave her a smile before she could say anything. Then he said, “I’m just asking. I didn’t mean anything.”

After that, Anthony lowered his head to focus on his food. However, he was already overwhelmed with sadness.

When they finished eating, Nancy starting clearing the table. Charles stood up and was ready to leave. When he noticed that Anthony didn’t have the intention to leave, he offered, “How about leaving together, Mr. Clark?”

“No, I…” Anthony was about to refuse. However, Sheryl agreed to Charles and interrupted him, “Anthony, you can go with Mr. Taylor. Please say goodbye to Mr. Taylor for me.”

Anthony had no other choice but to follow Sheryl’s advice. Since Charlie was with them, Charles and Anthony were silent in the elevator. But, when they got out of the elevator, Charles said to Charlie, “Charlie, you get in the car first and I’ll follow you soon.”

Charlie gave Anthony a cold glimpse before he went away. Although Anthony knew that Charlie was also Sheryl’s child, he didn’t like him at all.

When Charlie had left, Charles asked Anthony, “Can we talk now, Anthony?” “Do we need to talk?” Anthony asked back. He smiled bitterly and added, “We just talked not too long ago, remember?” “Are you going to tell me that you already want to quit?

Well, if that’s what you want to talk about with me, I’d be happy to listen.” Anthony’s tone sounded unfriendly.

“You know that’s impossible. Of course, Sheryl would choose me at the end,” Charles said in a defiant tone. He looked at Anthony’s eyes and added, “You are the one who should quit. I think you can see things clearly, right?”

“If you don’t want to give up on Sheryl, then I think we have nothing to talk about,” Anthony said with a reluctant smile and was about to leave.

“Hold on!” Charles blocked Anthony’s way. “You know that I have another child with Sher. Where is it now? Tell me.”
