Chapter 2028 Worry About The Children

"Well, it's fine. They're safe." Sheryl's eyes were very red, and her children were quite shaken up too.

Sheryl comforted her kids and then asked Joan to take care of her children.

After making sure that everything was all right, Sheryl went to the company with Isla.

"Children, I need to go to work. Please stay here at home." It seemed that nothing had happened.

Sheryl smiled as her children looked at her.

"All right. Mom, please come home early."

Shirley's words made Sheryl feel warm inside.

Sheryl nodded. She looked at Clark and said, "Take care of your sister. Don't do anything like that

again. Don't make us worry about you. If you want to do something, please tell Mom first."

"All right, Mom. Don't worry. I won't." Clark made a promise to Sheryl.

With this, Sheryl was able to calm down. She then headed to work.

After they got into the car, Isla couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Sheryl sighed. "They wanted to see Charles, so they made this plan."

As soon as Sheryl thought about it again, she started to get distressed. If Shirley hadn't told her the

truth, she would've been in the dark.

"What?" Isla couldn't believe that Clark and Shirley would do something like that.

However, she soon realized that they were acting just like their father. After all, these were Charles'

children. Back when he was still pursuing Sheryl, he'd do all sorts of crazy things.

Sheryl was reminded of Charles, too, with this. She also felt bad for her kids.

After Charles had left, he hadn't seen the children since then. Even if she went to see Charles asking

him to visit the children, he may not agree.

Sheryl had no choice. Charles was a grown man. If he wanted to see his children, no one was stopping

him, but if he didn't want to, then there was no forcing him.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. Let me rest." After which, she closed her eyes and tried to get This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

some rest.

Isla grew silent as she understood Sheryl.

In Sheryl's place

After Sheryl left, Joan urged the kids to go to bed; however, they couldn't seem to fall asleep.

"Aunt Joan, we can just play with each other. Don't worry. You can go back to whatever it is you're

doing," Clark said politely to Joan.

So Joan nodded and said, "All right. I'll be downstairs. If you need anything, call me."

"Of course."

After Joan left, Shirley took Clark's hand and said, "Clark, we can't see Dad, and we just disappointed

Mom."

Shirley raised her head and looked at Clark with a worried expression on her face.

Clark looked at Shirley and held her hand. "No, Mom's not mad at us. Let's just not do it again."

Clark already knew that Charles had left Sheryl; however, for some reason, he just always chose to

believe that his parents were still getting back together. He didn't give much thought to their plan, which

had resulted in this. He vowed he'd never do it again.

He was a good boy. He must take good care of his sister and not disappoint his mom.

"All right. We should rest now." Clark took Shirley's hand as they both headed to bed.

Sheryl went back to the Cloud Advertising Company. When Isla was sure that Sheryl was fine, she left

because she knew Sheryl had a lot to do.

What Clark and Shirley had done would definitely take a toll on Sheryl. All Isla wanted to do was be of

some help.

"Phoebe, please take care of Sheryl. If something happens, please call me right away." After which,

Isla hastily left.

Phoebe wasn't even able to respond. Just as Phoebe had raised her head, Isla was already gone.

Isla decided to go to the bar and asked her men to carefully watch the video.

If Charles really had an affair, she would tell Sheryl. If not, she was going to clarify it with the two.

It took her men less than an hour to find the suspicious video. All Isla needed to do now was to look for

Charles in the video.

However, the video was too long, and Isla couldn't finish it that night. She needed to go home and rest

too, as it had been a long day.

Meanwhile, Sheryl had just gotten home. Joan told her that the children were already asleep, and they

were fine. She was able to calm down upon hearing this. She then headed back to her room, much

more relaxed now.

That night, however, she still couldn't fall asleep.

The following day

As soon as Isla arrived at work, she immediately noticed Sheryl's red eyes. Isla couldn't help but be

worried. She sighed. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all." Sheryl shrugged as if there was nothing wrong.

Isla didn't say anything more. She just wanted Sheryl to be happy.

She decided that once she was finished with her work, she was going to come to see Sheryl again.

She just wanted to be doubly sure that Sheryl was fine.

"Isla, if you're done, you can go home. Don't disturb me." Sheryl hadn't slept well the previous night. So

when Isla wouldn't leave her alone, she told her to go home.

"All right. I won't bother you anymore." Isla pretended to be angry as she stalked out of Sheryl's office.

Sheryl helplessly shook her head and continued working.

When Isla had left the Cloud Advertising Company, she didn't know where to go until she was reminded

of the video. Without hesitation, she went straight to the bar.

In the Dream Garden

That morning, Charles noticed that something was off with Melissa. He'd tried talking to her, but it

seemed as if she couldn't hear him.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Charles was very worried as he looked at Melissa.

"I'm fine. I'm fine. What about you?" Melissa looked at Charles, seemingly in a daze.

She was acting so strangely that Charles couldn't help but be worried about her.

"What's wrong with you? Did you go to see the children yesterday?" Charles arrived home late last

night, so he wasn't able to ask Melissa about it. He didn't expect that something had gone wrong.

As soon as Melissa heard this, she looked panicked and tried to avoid Charles' gaze.

"Nothing, nothing at all!

But the children miss you terribly. When are you going to see them?" Melissa didn't dare to tell Charles

about what had happened at the amusement park. She was afraid that Charles would blame her and

forbid her from seeing the children again.

"If I have time, I will go see them," Charles said in a low voice. The look on his face shifted.

"All right. Let's just have breakfast." Melissa changed the topic because she didn't want to make

Charles sad.

After breakfast, Charles went to the company. On the way, he frowned and said, "What happened

yesterday?"

David felt embarrassed upon hearing this. He couldn't look Charles straight in the eye, just like Melissa.
