Chapter 7 Ample Opportunities (2/2)

Sheryl glanced at her, and then smiled shyly. ”Father, mother, I want to tell you something.”

Upon hearing this, Consuela stopped in her tracks. She had wanted to go straight to her bedroom.

”Good news or bad news?” Linda Xia asked.

”Well, it's a piece of good news.” Sheryl measured the size and concluded, her face still flushed.

”Look, our daughter is so shy. Does she have a boyfriend?” the elegant Mr. Xia rubbed his glasses and teased.

Sheryl hesitated for a while and then nodded. Surprised, Sheryl's mother opened her eyes wide and took Sheryl's hand, ”Sheryl, is that true?”

Sheryl nodded her head slowly and said yes.

”Whose son is he? When will you take her back? ” Linda Xia said happily.

Consuela's body froze. She wanted to leave, but she couldn’t move, as if her feet were made of lead.

Her face turned pale and she unconsciously tightened her fists.

Sheryl was satisfied with her reaction. She smiled and said, ”Mom, it's not anyone else. It's Harry.”

As soon as Johnson Xia and Linda Xia stopped talking, the smile on their faces froze, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit weird.

But after a few seconds, they quickly got back to normal.

Linda Xia looked a little embarrassed, as if she hesitated for a while, or frowned. She wanted to ask, ”Is it the truth? He... ”

”Harry? He is a good boy. We know him since he was a child. We don't have to worry about him! ”

However, before Linda Xia could finish her words, she was interrupted by her husband, who gave his wife a look and reminded her clearly.

Linda Xia immediately realized what had happened. She agreed, ”Yes, you're right. Harry is a good boy. Quite good... ”

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Consuela who was standing at the door all the time. ”Do you know?”

Hearing her mother's voice, Consuela lowered lowered her eyes to hide the tears in them. Then she raised her head and forced a smile. ”Yes, I know.”

And it seemed that she didn't care about it at all.

Sheryl's mother put down her doubts and patted on the back of Sheryl's hand, sincerely blessed, ”That's good, that's good!”

She had thought that Harry and Consuela loved each other, but it turned out to be the same.

The corner of Sheryl's mouth was a bit stiff. In the dim living room, no one found the hatred hidden in her eyes.

She was her biological daughter. But why did she always put Consuela's feelings into consideration?

”Ahem.” Johnson Xia was thoughtful and suggested, ”In that case, how about calling Harry over to have dinner with us tomorrow night? We haven't seen him for a long time.”

”Okay.” Sheryl agreed immediately.

They seemed to get along well with each other.

At this moment, Consuela felt like an outsider who was isolated and helpless.

”By the way, Consuela, do you have a boyfriend? Don't tell us you want a surprise too. ” He sensed that something was wrong with Consuela, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

”No, I didn't.” Consuela answered in a low voice. Before they could say anything, she took a deep breath and walked towards her room. ”I feel a little tired. I will go back to my room and have a rest.”

The moment Consuela closed the door, she could hear that the three of them were discussing something about Harry. She could imagine how happy Sheryl was.

Her heart was sinking. She couldn't hold back the tears that had been suppressing for a long time.

On the other side, Richie sat at his desk. He refused the girls his parents arranged for him.

”Well, you don't need to arrange blind dates for me anymore. I'm already married.”
