Chapter 8 A Happy Scene (2/2)
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 wo
rd. 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
