Chapter 70 Let Me Take You Home (2/2)

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

re you really okay?”

”I'm okay, ” said Cherry.

When he looked at Cherry's face, Stephen was sure that Cherry was indeed feeling much more better than before, and didn't ask her anything more.

Cherry had just recovered from her sad state when she realized that she was in Stephen's office room.

She said, ”If you have work to do, then I'll leave you to it.” Cherry then intended to stand up and leave, but her arm was suddenly seized by Stephen.

Stephen felt rather worried about leaving Cherry alone, and said, ”No, I don't have any work to do now. Just stay here and rest.”

”No, I'd better go back, ” replied Cherry, insisting on leaving.

Stephen knew that he couldn't convince Cherry change her mind, and when he saw her stubborn face he compromised, and said, ”Well, then at least let me drive you back home.”

”No, I can go back myself, that's alright.” Cherry didn't want anybody to help her.

Stephen stared at Cherry, and with his eyes filled with incomparable affection towards her, said, ”But I can't bear to see you like this.”

She then raised her head and looked into Stephen's eyes, and saw in them little sparks of misgiving, different from the ordinary concern between friends.

Finally, Cherry acquiesced Stephen's advice, and looked at him and nodded.

Stephen was happy when Cherry agreed to let him take her back, and cheerfully said, ”Let's go, I'll drive you back.”
