His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1335 Fight Back

"It's Charles' mother, Melissa. As you already know, she never likes me. Since we met, she has always

been making it difficult for me. I compromise again and again to maintain the harmony between us, but

she never stops. Now, she even lets Leila live in Dream Garden. Who knows what she is planning

next? I really don't know what I have done wrong to make her hate me so much!"

Sheryl complained sulkily, looking upset. Isla looked at her frustrated face and couldn't help feeling

sorry for her. She patted Sheryl's head, trying to comfort her.

"Sometimes I really feel exhausted with this life. I even start to doubt whether marrying Charles is a

mistake or not. Should we divorce now and cut the loss in time?" Sheryl sounded rather indignant.

Isla looked at her with sympathetic eyes. She knew that Sheryl didn't really mean to divorce Charles.

Her words were merely to vent out her anger. After all, she loved Charles so much, and she would

never choose to leave him.

She could feel how sad and disappointed Sheryl was. Isla was also angry that she was treated wrongly.

If this situation continued, Sheryl's wounds would only be deeper. It was heartbreaking to know that as

long as Melissa was around, Sheryl had to tolerate this kind of life.

They must take actions to turn the tables around.

"Sheryl, in my opinion, they dare to bully you because you have been too kind and forgiving. You must

be tough, and give them a warning so they won't think you're a pushover,"

Isla said in a serious tone as she touched Sheryl's shoulders.

Sheryl looked at Isla confused. "But what can I do? Nothing will change the fact that Melissa is Charles'

mother. Even if she has already driven a wedge between me and Charles by framing me up, Charles

will never forgive me if something bad happens to her."

Isla sighed. She thought that Sheryl was so simple and naive. How she wanted to wake her up and

shake Charles off from her head. Sheryl needed someone to tell her that Charles wasn't the only thing

to her, and she shouldn't compromise her life for him all the time.

"Hear me out, Sheryl. You don't need to do anything to Melissa. We need to think about another way to Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

have her suffer," Isla suggested. "Since Leila is her partner, you can punish her instead. It's like hitting

two birds in one stone. Once they know that you are not subject to their humiliation, none of them will

dare to mistreat you at will."

"Are you sure it will work?" Sheryl had never thought of targeting Leila. But Isla's plan sounded

promising.

"It's not like you have any other choice. You can try that now and see if it works. Otherwise Melissa will

always be an obstacle in your relationship with Charles. I will not be surprised if she ends up breaking

you apart one day."

Sheryl nodded. What Isla said made sense. So far, Melissa had caused so many misunderstandings

and quarrels between her and Charles. If she let Melissa run her life, she would end up destroying her.

There was nothing left to do but to take the initiative to stop her.

"All right. I agree with you. I would rather find a solution to end it than bear her endless insult myself,"

she said resolutely.

Lost in thought, Sheryl stayed in her office after Isla left. She must fight back! She was so preoccupied

that she didn't even notice how time elapsed. The stars started to appear as the darkness enveloped

everything in sight. When Sheryl finally found a solution, it was already at night.

Sheryl stroke her forehead. Just thinking about going home gave her a headache. Her home became a

place of torture now. Luckily, her two little angels, Clark and Shirley, could give her some comfort.

She arrived at Dream Garden some time later.

"Kids, I'm back!" Sheryl called out happily as she opened the door. After she changed to her slippers,

Clark and Shirley came rushing towards her cheerfully.

"Mom! You're finally back! Why are you so late? I miss you so much!" Sheryl hugged them both, one

kid in each arm. She was deeply touched by their innocent words. She had not seen them the entire

day, but it seemed to be a whole year for the kids.

"I miss both of you. How were you doing at school? Did you both behave yourselves?" Sheryl stood up

and led the kids to the living room.

"Sheryl, you are back! Dinner is ready. Take a seat, please," Nancy invited when she caught sight of

Sheryl and the kids. She just came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup.

"Thanks, Nancy. Is Charles back already?"

"No, he isn't back yet," Nancy replied. She put the soup bowl on the table. Since all the dishes were

served, she was ready to ask Melissa and Leila for dinner.

Sheryl didn't know whether Charles would join them or not, so she decided to call him and check. She

dialed his number, and his phone started ringing. It took a while before he finally picked up.

"Charles, will you be home for dinner?" she asked as soon as he accepted the call.

She initially heard noises in the background, but she couldn't hear Charles clearly. A few seconds later,

it became quieter. Maybe Charles went to a quiet corner to speak with her.

"Sheryl, I'm sorry but I won't be back to have dinner with you tonight. I need to attend a dinner party

now. I'll be coming home pretty late. Don't wait for me," Charles answered.

Sheryl vaguely heard someone calling Charles. She knew that he must be in the middle of a

conversation, so she ended their talk quickly.

Sheryl walked towards the table, which Nancy had already set well. She also filled some rice and

dishes for Clark and Shirley, and then led them to the small table next to theirs.

"Go ahead and eat, Sheryl. I'll take care of Clark and Shirley. You must be hungry by now. Enjoy your

meal," Nancy said. She wanted to help Sheryl as much as possible. And what better way to do it than

by helping her to feed the kids.

"Oh, Nancy, that's not necessary. They are both big enough to eat by themselves," Sheryl smiled. She

was a mother but she would never spoil her children. Moreover, Clark and Shirley were very

independent and smart. She raised them to be independent at a young age, teaching them how to

dress and eat on their own.

At that time, Melissa and Leila appeared from nowhere. They went down leisurely and came straight to

the dining hall. Sheryl didn't feel like talking, so she just ignored them. She watched the kids with loving

eyes as they started eating.

When Melissa saw that Sheryl dared to ignore her, she flared up immediately. Her face suddenly

became sullen. She was about to reproach Sheryl for her impoliteness when Leila's loud voice broke

the silence.

"Why are these dishes so oily? Aunt Melissa has just been discharged from the hospital. Don't you

know that light diet is best for her recovery?" Leila creased her eyebrows as she checked out each of

the dishes, deeply concerned.

As if on cue, Melissa took a glance at the dishes, and then echoed, "Exactly! I left the hospital not so

long ago. How can you cook oily foods? Did you do this on purpose? Nancy, you are such a vicious

woman! Was it Sheryl who asked you to do this? Tell me the truth, or I won't spare you!"

Melissa thought it a great chance to set up Sheryl again. So she connected it to her on purpose.

Nancy was totally confused by these accusations. All the dishes were as light as they could be. When

Nancy was about to explain, Sheryl tugged at her sleeves to stop her.
