“Buy some clothes for me too. ” Titus immediately said in a cutesy manner, “Come back faster. I’ll wait for you to have dinner.”
Sheryl was quite speechless at that 4o—year —old man for still acting cutesy.
“Mom, I think this dress suits you a lot, ” Rosabella said with a smile as she brought a blue embroidered dress over.
Sheryl took a glance at the dress and thought the style was ordinary. However, seeing that Rosabella recommended it with such enthusiasm, she said, “
Let’s buy it then.”
“Aren’t you going to try it on?” Rosabella asked. “No need.”
Sheryl handed her card over.
Rosabella was delighted as she thought Sheryl liked it a lot. She knew that she had a good eye. After that, she kept giving Sheryl recommendations when, in fact, her taste was different from Sheryl’s.
Sheryl had a headache. Her daughter’s taste was actually a little tacky, but she could not bear to hurt her. After shopping for a while, her enthusiasm dulled. Hence, she suggested going back.
“Mom, why don’t we go back after a meal?” Rosabella suggested. Actually, she still had a lot of things she had not bought. Since she had Sheryl, who was a walking ATM, shopping with her, she wanted to look around more.
“Forget it. Your uncle doesn’t like eating outside.” Sheryl rejected her.
After exiting the mall, they stood at the entrance, waiting for the driver to come over.
As it was 5:00 p.m., the number of cars on the street gradually increased.
Joel was sitting in the car, reading documents until he felt tired. After massaging the middle of his brows, he opened the window. The car happened to be outside one of the most bustling malls in Canberra.
However, when he saw a silhouette by the roadside, Joel’s body froze. He suddenly shouted, ” Stop the car.”
The driver was startled. “But we can’t stop the car here for too long.”
“I told you to stop. Hurry up.” Joel opened the door of the car straight away.
The driver had never seen him like that before, so the former immediately stepped on the brake.
Joel could not bother about the cars on the road as he quickly walked toward that silhouette. Only when he got nearer could he get a good look at the face. The woman in front of him looked a lot like the woman he had yearned for, day and night, more than 2o years ago. Her eyes were still those pretty eyes, her nose was still so dainty, and her lips were still so seductive and stunning. However, she did not have the youthfulness she used to have. In fact, she was more elegant, charming, and demure.
Joel felt as if he was dreaming. He even became weak-kneed.
“Sherry, is that you?”
He stared at her in disbelief.
Sheryl did not notice Joel at all until he walked up to her. She raised her gaze and was stunned.
The man in front of her looked over 5o years old, and there were some traces of age on his face. Nevertheless, she could tell that he was a handsome, sophisticated man when he was young.
¡®Joel Yule…’
Those were the two words that instantly appeared in Sheryl’s mind.
When she found out that she had a past with Joel, she searched for Joel’s information on the internet behind Titus’ back. The pictures on the internet were very similar to the person in front of her.
He just looked younger in the pictures.
“Excuse me. I don’t know you. You’ve got the wrong person.” Sheryl’s expression was cold. Having heard of the man before, she did not have a good impression of him nor want to have any interactions with him.
Joel was taken aback. Then, he shook his head. “It’s impossible. I remember how you look. Sherry, I thought you were dead…”
He even lost control and grabbed Sheryl’s arm agitatedly.
However, just as he touched her, a man, probably a bodyguard, stepped forward and shoved Joel’s hand away. After that, the bodyguard used his arm to shield Sheryl quickly. “Madam, please get in the car.”
Sheryl walked toward the car right away. Rosabella, who was at the side, immediately got in the car nervously too. She did not expect they would bump into Joel so quickly. Luckily, Joel had never seen her before.
” Sheryl, I’m mistaken. You’re Sheryl Cox. ” Joel went after her agitatedly, but he was shoved away by the bodyguard again. Discontented, he said with bloodshot eyes, ” Sherry, I know you hate me, and you don’t want to acknowledge me. But don’t you remember Cate? She’s your daughter.”
Sheryl ignored him and got in the car straight away.
It was impossible to see what was going on in the car once the car door closed.
After the bodyguard got in the car, the car soon left.
Joel wanted to go after it, but the traffic police ran over and stopped him. “Sir, please be careful of the cars. What you’re doing is dangerous.”
Joel was in a daze. At that instant, it was as if his soul was sucked clean.
Was he mistaken? However, that person did look a lot like Sheryl. Although more than 2o years had passed, she looked like she was in her thirties.
Besides, people could look similar, but similarities in demeanor could not possibly be fake, right?
He felt as if he was in a dream and not yet awake.
In the sedan, Rosabella felt so nervous that her heart was all over the place.
Just now, Joel shouted saying, “Don’t you remember Cate? She’s your daughter.”
At that moment, Rosabella almost suffocated. Luckily, she had told a lie and said that Cate pretended to be Sheryl and Joel’s daughter. If not, things would get troublesome. It was fortunate that Sheryl did not acknowledge Joel or argued about their daughter as well.
She calmed down and clenched her fists.
No, she could not let Sheryl have a chance to suspect her.
“Mom, just now… that was… my dad,” Rosabella said while pretending to sound bitter.
“I know.” Sheryl was still stunned too, but she quickly came back to her senses. Contempt was written across her face. “He’s an idiot who can even mistake his biological daughter.”
After she spoke, she patted the back of Rosabella’s hand. “Never mind him. He doesn’t deserve to be your dad.”
Rosabella nodded her head. She pretended to be open-minded and said, “I used to be quite upset over it, but I’ve thought it through. I’m fine as long as you’re here, Mom. Besides, I don’t think Uncle Titus wants you to get in touch with Joel anymore. Uncle Titus treats you well, and he accepts me too. I don’t wish for you two to fight over it. Even if Joel mistakes Cate as his daughter, it’s okay. I’ll get revenge on Cate anyway. I don’t need his repentance and apology either. He’ll only pester us more.”
Sheryl nodded, reassured. At the same time, Rosabella’s words reminded her that she should stay away from Joel if she saw him next time. She did not want to have conflicts occurring between her and Titus too.
After some thought, she said to the bodyguard at the passenger seat, “Don’t tell Titus about today’s incident.”
“Okay.” The bodyguard nodded respectfully. However, Rosabella said, “Mom, you don’t wish to acknowledge Joel, but will he investigate you? I think he still has feelings for you. Moreover, he has some influence in Canberra. If he finds out… It’ll be quite troublesome. Perhaps he’ll even show up in front of Uncle Titus. Why don’t we have someone delete the security footage by the roadside and the mall?”
Remembering that Titus was a jealous person, Sheryl agreed with Rosabella. Therefore, she immediately had the bodyguard delete all footage of her at the mall that day.
On the other hand, after Joel got in the car groggily, the driver cast him a nervous glance. “Are we still going to the new warehouse for inspection?”
“No.”
Joel came back to his senses and immediately called Cate. “Where are you?”
“Dad, I’m at Hudson Corporation.”
“Come back to the Yule family’s residence today. I have something to tell you.” Joel hung up after he spoke.
Cate had not heard such a serious tone in a long time. As such, she did not dare to delay and went back to the Yule family’s residence after finishing up her work.
In the spacious living room, Joel sat on the sofa. He had a photo in his hand. He was so immersed in the photo that he did not even notice that Cate had come back.
Cate walked over. She noticed it was a photo that Joel had taken with Sherry when he was young. It was a sweet photo of both of them hugging each other at the meadow.
“Dad, you actually have a photo with my mom.” Cate smiled and teased him. “I’ve never seen you taking it out before.”
“I’ve always put it in the safe. This is a picture of your mom and me on a trip to the meadow when she was 20 years old.” Joel touched Cate’s face bitterly. “It’s similar. It’s really similar.”
“Dad, what is similar? I can’t understand you.” Cate sat down beside him. Only then did she notice that Joel’s eyes were red. She was stunned.
“Cate, I think I saw your mom today, but she didn’t admit it. ” Joel suddenly dropped a shocking truth.
