His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1308 Don't Worry About Me

"What? Why can't I remember that?" Cora asked playfully. She feigned innocence with her question as

she joked with Jordan on purpose.

However, Jordan felt anxious. Did his sister forget to ask? NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"I told you to ask Cassie if she has a boyfriend. Did you forget that?" Jordan asked. Nervousness

coursed through him that he even stopped eating, and stared wide-eyed at Cora as he waited for her

answer.

"You're so nervous. You've forgotten your morals at just the sight of a beautiful girl. I have such a

brother as you, and I won't live comfortably in the future," Cora said and burst into laughter.

"Tell me. Don't be so talkative. I'll buy you the Chanel bag like I promised," Jordan urged again. The

playful yet sneaky eyes of Cora looked at him in consideration.

"Okay, I'll stop now," she relented. "Jordan, I think you have a chance," she said in a serious tone.

"Really?" When Cora said that, Jordan's eyes widened in excitement behind his glasses. "Do you mean

Cassie doesn't have a boyfriend?"

Cora shook her head but immediately comforted her crestfallen brother. "In fact, I don't know if Cassie

does have a boyfriend because she won't tell me. But judging from her current state, I think that even if

she does have one, they must've broken up."

"Really now?" Jordan murmured. His thoughts drifted to the man Cassie had driven away after he was

beaten by him under her apartment.

Was he really Cassie's boyfriend? However, he had never seen that man again these days. So, were

they actually broken up?

The mixed emotions on Jordan's face prompted Cora to be cautious. Did her brother have a crush on

Cassie? Was he more serious than all those previous times?

If that was true, she needed to pay more attention to Cassie's life in the future.

In the bedroom

Sadness was evident in a depressed Sheryl's eyes. Charles was her main source of support and

strength in their marriage—but if he didn't trust her anymore, what should she do?

Exhaustion beat her body as she lay in the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. Even with her eyes closed,

she was lost in her thoughts and her eyelids trembled restlessly.

Why did Charles allow Holley to take care of him? Why were they so close? Or, was it true that Charles

didn't care about her feelings anymore because he was disappointed and didn't trust her anymore?

The negative and anxious thoughts made her mind ache painfully. It seemed that there was a

malfunctioning switch deep in her heart that made her think of Charles and Holley.

She shut her eyes tight and held back her tears, but they still fell down. She felt like a coward as she

curled up into a ball and held her head in her arms. Her shoulders shook slightly, and she looked like

an injured little animal that nursed its wounds alone. The room was silent except for the sound of her

sobs.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Then, Nancy's gentle voice was heard.

"Sher, Leila has arrived. She is on the first floor now and wants to see you."

It was Leila again! There was no way that Sheryl wanted to see this hypocritical woman. Why couldn't

she remove Leila from her life? If it weren't for her and Melissa who were determined to ruin the

couple's relationship and endlessly brewed trouble out of nothing, perhaps Sheryl and Charles wouldn't

be in such a terrible situation.

Did Leila think that nobody saw through her ill intentions? A little snort came out from Sheryl's lips.

Leila loved Charles and wanted to be his mistress. Sheryl could see clearly right through this woman.

Now, what did Leila want to do here? Did she want to show off in front of Sheryl? Hatred grew in

Sheryl's usually kind heart. She couldn't get along well with Leila. Whenever she saw Leila's face, she

was reminded that this woman had stolen her child in the past.

She swiped her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and forced a smile. She didn't want Nancy to

worry about her. Then, she opened the bedroom door.

"Nancy, I don't want to see Leila. Could you please tell her to leave?"

Sheryl said monotonously, as if Leila was a stranger to her.

"Okay, I'll go back down and ask her to leave. Rest well, Sher." Nancy hated Leila as well. For her,

Sheryl was a kind-hearted lady, who made a perfect couple with Charles. However, Leila often came to

ruin their relationship. It was impossible for Nancy to like her.

Nancy closed the door and went downstairs. "Miss Zhang, please leave here. Mrs. Lu doesn't want to

see you."

However, Leila just glanced disdainfully at Nancy and walked around her, directly to Sheryl's room.

Nancy never thought that Leila could act so rudely. She subconsciously stretched her arm out to stop

Leila, but before she could even touch her, the intruder hit her so hard that she was forced to step

aside.

"You are nothing but a watchdog of the Lu family. Why are you qualified to stop me? Get out of here,"

Leila said mercilessly. She didn't care about manners and insulted Nancy with hurtful words.

"Miss Zhang, don't go too far." When Nancy heard what Leila said, fiery anger burned in her eyes. She

wanted to throw up but she couldn't say anything unpleasant. She simply strode in front of Leila and

blocked her in an attempt to prevent the woman from moving forward.

Still, Leila didn't care about that. She pushed Nancy away with such an unexpected force and dashed

upstairs, as her high heels clicked noisily on the steps.

After the shock had died down, Nancy hurriedly chased her and was worried that she would bother

Sheryl.

The bedroom door suddenly burst open with a bang. Sheryl raised her head in surprise, and the

unexpected sight of Leila greeted her.

"What are you doing here? You are not welcome. Get out!" Sheryl shouted coldly. However, Leila didn't

seem to hear her.

Leila continued to saunter to Sheryl, who was both angry and confused.

"It's Melissa's home. Why can't I come here? But you, how can you have the guts to stay here? I've

never seen a woman viler than you. You even tried to kill your mother-in-law!" Leila howled and

provoked Sheryl. On the other hand, Nancy had caught up and arrived at Sheryl's bedroom.

What she heard from Leila made her extremely furious.

"Miss Zhang, stop talking nonsense and leave!"

As Nancy said that, she grabbed Leila's arm to drag her out.

When Leila struggled to get away from Nancy's grip, Sheryl's voice intervened.

"Nancy, let go of her. Don't worry about me, I'll talk to her. Go downstairs now."
