His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1348 Nurturing Relationships

It was Friday night and the family gathered together to have dinner as usual. Leila took a quick glance

at everyone. They were all busy eating.

"Tomorrow is a weekend and there's no school." Leila broke the silence. "Why don't we take Clark and

Shirley to the amusement park? The kids study very hard all week. I think it's a perfect time to enjoy."

Melissa had no objections. She always agreed with Leila.

Sheryl also wanted to hang out with her kids but the thought that Leila and Melissa would join them

made her feel sick. However, she couldn't think of any other reason to say no. Besides, it was not a big

deal. So she also nodded.

Charles wouldn't make himself a wet blanket by refusing the proposal since everyone seemed to like

this idea.

"Great! That's it then. We're all going to the amusement park tomorrow!" Leila announced, gazing at

Charles lovingly. She felt proud that he agreed to her proposal. But, as usual, he ignored her.

All young and young at heart love amusement parks; Clark and Shirley were no exception. Upon

hearing the plan, they jumped and cheered with joy. The unhappiness that the school work had brought

them now disappeared and their gloomy hearts cleared up.

"Mom, I'll go to the park wearing my lovely new hat. Don't forget to remind me to bring it tomorrow!"

Shirley hadn't stopped capering and clapping since she heard the decision. Now she was busy thinking

what she should bring with her tomorrow.

"All right, all right! I promise." Sheryl was amused by her lovely little girl. She patted her hair tenderly

and smiled.

"Please wake me up early. I don't want to be late." Shirley put on a wide smile and blinked at her mom,

fluttering her long eyelashes, her big eyes filled with expectation.

Clark, who was sitting beside her, also grinned with excitement. 'Great! We can have a wonderful time

tomorrow!' he thought.

"Okay! I'll knock on your door to wake you up before the sun rises, lazy piggy." Hearing Sheryl's words,

Charles couldn't help laugh out loud. With the woman he loved and his adorable children around him,

he felt so blessed.

"I'm not lazy piggy! Clark is!" Shirley yelled at Sheryl, pouting. She blushed as her father continued

laughing. Embarrassed, Shirley covered her little face with her hands.

Clark sighed and pulled his sister's hair gently to get even.

It was already late, but the children were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep. They lied in their little

beds with their eyes widely opened and kept chattering.

"I'll count to three, then you need to close your eyes and sleep. Or else, I won't take you to the park

tomorrow," Sheryl threatened them. Sheryl had tried her best to put the kids to sleep for the last 30

minutes but failed. The children were too energetic to be put into bed. They ended up laughing and

chatting instead.

"Okay, Mom. We'll sleep right now! Good night!" With this, Clark and Shirley pulled the quilt and closed

their eyes. "Good night." Sheryl stood up and carefully walked towards the door. Holding the door knob,

she took a quick look at the children before she closed the door, but saw them open their eyes again.

Sheryl felt amused. She walked back in, tucked the quilt around the children and left the room. It had

been a while since she last saw the children this happy. There was no harm in letting them relax a little.

Sheryl had hardly closed the door when she heard the children's giggles again.

To everyone's disappointment, Charles got a phone call from the company, telling him that there was

an emergency. Needless to say, he couldn't go to the amusement park with the children any more.

"Sorry, kids. I have something very important to do now and I can't go with you today. Mom will take

you there instead. I wish you have a good time. I'll go with you next time. I promise. Okay?"

Clark and Shirley were a little frustrated and disappointed. They lowered their heads and pouted their

mouths. But they were both sensible children. They could understand their dad, so they didn't cry or

yell.

"All right, Dad. We understand," Clark answered.

"We can go to the amusement park together next time!" Shirley added in a hopeful tone. They tapped Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

on their father's arm, comforting him.

Charles was moved by his children. They were like little angels. How lucky he was to have such lovely

and understanding kids!

"Dad loves you both." Charles hugged them in his arms and gave each of them a tender kiss on the

cheek.

"Don't worry about us. I'll take care of Clark and Shirley," Sheryl smiled warmly, her eyes focused on

her lovely family.

"Thank you, Sher." Charles walked towards Sheryl, letting go of his kids. "You should also take good

care of yourself because you are my baby too!" Charles leaned against Sheryl and whispered in her

ear. Sheryl blushed, shyness and happiness filled her eyes.

Standing close to each other, Charles wrapped his arms around Sheryl's waist to pull her closer. They

gazed into each other's eyes lovingly, dismissing everything else around them. It seemed that they

were emerged in pink bubbles of love and nobody could step inside. Leila, who was standing beside,

clenched her teeth wrathfully.

"Please take them to the amusement park and please make sure that they are safe. Call me

immediately if anything happens," Charles told the driver.

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Charles reminded them again to be careful before he left home for work.

The amusement park was busy as expected on a weekend. It took them some time to find a parking

space.

They arrived there at noon, when the heat of the sun was at its peak. As they got out of the car, the

heat wave came at them. Despite the hot weather, the children were still full of energy as always. They

wiped the sweat off their foreheads and rushed into the park impatiently.

"Aunt Melissa, Sheryl, it's so hot. I'll take care of Clark and Shirley, so you two can take a rest,"

suggested Leila. "I'll take them to the merry-go-round first. Kids sure like that."

She pulled a handkerchief out of her handbag and patted on her sweating forehead.

Leila believed that she needed to spend more time with the two children, so they would become fond of

her and she would win their hearts soon. After all, children are naive and credulous.

Leila put on a wide and warm smile, that nobody noticed the coldness in her eyes.

"I don't see why not," Melissa acknowledged. "Thank you, Leila." Melissa glanced at Sheryl with disdain

as she said these words, highlighting the sarcasm in her tone as she continued, "How considerate of

you!"

Melissa was delighted to see Leila actively approach the children. She could play with them and get

along with no issues. Deep inside, Melissa really liked Leila and she would be very happy if her son,

Charles, would marry her. They would form an enviably happy family if the children liked their new

mother.

After Charles and Sheryl got divorced, she wouldn't let the latter take the children away, especially

Clark, her grandson. Since Leila would become their new mother someday anyway, Melissa believed

that she should start nurturing relationships with them as soon as possible.
