Chapter 8 A Happy Scene
Chapter 8 A Happy Scene
The next day, Consuela didn't get up until very late. During the period, Linda knocked at her door, but no one answered. Then, Linda didn't bother her anymore.
When she finally woke up, it was already afternoon.
She sat up, stretched herself, rubbed her red, swollen eyes, and then lifted the quilt to stand up.
After freshening up, she was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but before she reached the kitchen, Sheryl's voice came from the living room.
"Harry, try this. It's not bad."
The familiar name made her stop unconsciously, and at this moment her somewhat dizzy head was immediately awakened. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
She quickened her pace to avoid him as if she hadn't noticed him.
"Good morning, Consuela? There's food in the kitchen. You can heat it up. " Sheryl shouted on purpose.
Taking a deep breath, Consuela forced a smile and said, "Got it, sister. Harry, good morning. "
Harry cast a sidelong glance at Consuela with the same disgust and disdain as yesterday and had no response. Seeing the expectation on Sheryl's face, Harry took back his refusal and opened his mouth to swallow the food, without hesitation.
He smiled gently and dotingly, "Yes, it's so delicious."
Then he reached out his hand and fed Sheryl.
Sheryl smiled shyly and ate it.
They acted as if there was no one else present. It was a happy scene.
The color drained from Consuela's face and her eyes were red. She turned around and walked towards the kitchen, not wanting to see the sharp pain in her heart anymore.
Since yesterday, Harry had become her brother-in-law! What was she still thinking about?
After that incident, she should have realized that she could no longer deserve such a clean man.
Consuela closed her eyes and withdrew her tears.
As she was done, she headed towards her bedroom.
"Consuela, let's watch TV together," Sheryl said with a smile, patting the seat beside her.
Sheryl would keep Consuela to witness the happiness of her life, and only in this way could the woman stop loving Harry.
Consuela stopped and forced a smile. "I don't want to disturb you. I'm sorry, sister and brother-in-law."
After saying that, she left the living room without looking back.
Nobody knew how sad she was when she called him brother-in-law.
The man she had loved for so many years didn't belong to her at all.
Watching Consuela's receding figure, Harry's face darkened in anger.
"Harry, try another one," Sheryl tried to convince him.
However, Harry grabbed her wrist while avoiding the food and shook his head, "You eat by yourself."
His gentle and pampering expression was nowhere to be found.
Sheryl was stunned by his words, and then she replied dejectedly, "Okay."
With a trace of resentment in her eyes, she clenched the other hand in the darkness. She didn't feel pain even if her nails pierced into her flesh.
She swore to herself that she would get Harry completely one day, no matter in person or in heart!
Back in her room, Consuela's strength was drained away. The tension in her body began to ease and she lied down on the bed.
She looked up at the ceiling. What happened these days seemed to overturn everything in her past.
"Your goal is finally achieved! I decide to marry you! "
The man's words popped up in her mind. She was stunned.
She had never seen such an arrogant man. Did he really think that all women in the world wanted to marry him?
All she wished now was that she could live a peaceful life in the future, and there would be no accidents or contact with this man any more. Everything was like a dream.
She couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows at the thought of the crazy night. Then she took out her phone and searched online for those nude photos, but to her surprise, all of them were gone.
Did that man do it?
Although they had only met each other for several times, she could feel that he was a noble man who could not be refuted.
She didn't know what would happen if she refused him this time.
Feeling annoyed, she threw the phone aside. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep again.
At dinner time, when Consuela arrived at the dining table, she saw Johnson and Linda greeting Harry passionately.
Consuela sat far away from them, without saying a word. She stole a glance at Harry, who was chatting with her parents.
"Harry, our Sheryl is a good girl. You must treat her well!" Johnson stopped laughing and advised seriously.
The atmosphere froze.
Linda echoed, "Yes, if you dare to bully Sheryl, our family won't let you off the hook for the first time."
Hearing that, Harry was stunned for a while. Then he nodded and said with a gentle smile, "Uncle, don't worry. I will."
"Well, not that uncle and aunt don't believe you," Mr. Xia sighed, "Your children are the apple of your eye. You will understand the feelings as parents when you have children in the future."
Harry still nodded, "Okay."
Promised him word by word.
As he finished speaking, he stole a glance at Consuela.
Her face was as pale as a ghost. She lowered her head to avoid being recognized.
Johnson breathed a sigh of relief and regained his smile. "All right, all right. Please come to our house more often and make yourself at home. We all welcome you."
"Okay." Harry nodded and said, "I don't know if I'm welcomed here by Consuela."
Everyone was stunned.
The mention of Consuela's name brought Consuela back to her senses. She forced a smile and said, "Of course, you are my brother-in-law."
Hearing that, Harry did not show any special expression on his face. Instead, he said, "Well, I'll visit you more often from now on."
Although Sheryl didn't say anything, she kept smiling happily.
Such a scene directly hurt Consuela.
She ate the food silently, but she felt bitter in her mouth.
In the next few days, as he said, Harry really often came to the Xia Clan. Johnson and Linda were very happy to see him and they smiled every time they met him.
A mixed feeling set in Consuela’s heart. She didn't know how to face him. Whether it was because of the relationship between him and her sister, Sheryl or because of that incident. She had no idea how to face him.
All in all, Consuela would never admit her guilt to Harry in the future.
After dinner, Harry left. Finally, Consuela couldn't bear it anymore and spoke in a low voice, "I want to move out."
Mr. and Mrs. Xia, who were packing up, stopped when they heard what Consuela said. They raised their head and said in one voice, "What did you say?"
Taking a deep breath, she raised her voice and said firmly, "I want to move out."
"What's wrong?"
Sheryl, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the voice too and stretched out her head to ask Consuela.
Consuela didn't tell her the real reason, instead she said, “Because I found a job. It's a little far from home. I want to rent a house which is closer to my company. Meanwhile, I can exercise my independence."
"You found a job?" Linda asked skeptically.
Consuela nodded immediately. I just found it. I haven't had the chance to tell you."
"Which company?" Johnson asked cautiously. He was worried about Consuela.
"Well..." She didn't expect him to ask her such a question. Thinking of the companies that often appeared in the news, she quickly replied, "Yes Sruthan Group. "
‘She had just graduated for a few days, and it’s not easy for her to find a job now. Let alone a big company like Sruthan Group,’ Sheryl thought in mind.
But that was not something she needed to worry about. She couldn't let Consuela move out so easily. She had worked so hard to make dating with Harry, so that he could often come to her house to visit her and show off their love.
She didn't expect her sister to have such a vulnerable heart. She couldn't stand that.
"No way! It's not safe for you to live outside alone. " There was a worried look on Sheryl's face.
Consuela waved her hand in denial. "Don't worry. I'll be fine. Don't worry, I promise to call back every night to tell you I'm safe! Mom, Dad, just say yes. "
Despite Consuela's reassurance and cute words, her parents still had some misgivings. But at last, they nodded to agree,and told her to be more careful.
The more Sheryl thought about it, the angrier she became. She wondered why her parents had always been obedient to Consuela? If Consuela had really fallen in love with Harry, would her parents beg her to let her pass?
At the thought of this, Sheryl was more and more furious, with a malicious expression glimmering in her eyes
