Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 22
Cherry showed no sign of stopping and walked past him.Larry pursed his lips and did not yell at her. The calmer she was, the more suspicious he felt toward her.He was not anxious as he had already located his target. If she was indeed the same woman from five years ago and he behaved hastily, she might flee again.Therefore, he decided to change his approach this time. He heard that boiling a frog slowly in warm water was a good idea.In the hall, Nelly saw Stanley. Immediately, she got excited and, with an enthusiastic smile, she approached him. “Sir, you're here, I…”She put on what she believed was her most beautiful smile and spoke in her most delicate voice. With her qualities, she assumed he would consider her.“You're blocking my way.” Stanley lifted his head and glanced at her as though he was looking at a pile of trash.The crowd directed their gaze towards him when he made an abrupt appearance. Some people also felt envious when Nelly approached him.When Stanley made that

"That's right. Sis asked Grandpa to bring her home as soon as she recovered. She claimed to still be in love with Hardy and begged Grandpa to pull a few strings so that they could get married. However, Grandpa was reluctant, hence he threw this banquet for Sis in the hope that she would find a more suitable marriage candidate. Yet, from the looks of it, Sis only has eyes for Hardy, since she hasn't interacted with other people in the banquet apart from him." An idea rose in Nelly's mind as she seemed to figure out something from what Stanley said earlier. She then proceeded to fabricate a web of lies while keeping a straight face. "It's evident that Sis has truly invested her heart in Hardy. Not long ago, we were caught in a misunderstanding involving him and Sis is still angry with me even until now." Nelly pursed her lips slightly, her face a pinched mask of grievance. It was obvious to Stanley, who was the chief of police, that Nelly was feeding him false information. Besides, he

“I don't like women who are too pretty,” Larry replied straightforwardly without hesitation. As if troubled by a profound thought, his gaze lingered on her face intentionally as he spoke.“There are also plenty of them who are wise, elegant, and prescient.” Cherry persuaded herself to calm down. There was no need for her to get infuriated with an insignificant person.She was certain she could convince him with some smooth talk.“I don't like women who are overly smart either.” His eyes remained on hers as the words rolled off his tongue naturally.Slightly startled, Cherry managed to regain her composure and kept that grin glued on her face, although it was starting to look a little awkward and freaky.To hell with him. Was he beating around the bush to indicate she was hideous and slow-witted? She could brush off the fact that he had called her names, but did he have to appear so smug as if he was certain his desire would come true?Had she accidentally dug out his ancestral tomb or

“Oh, yes, the mention of Larry reminded me of something. Larry's father seems to have gotten anxious about Larry's marital status lately. He even threatened to hand over all the family business to Larry's younger stepbrother if he doesn't get married by the end of this month.”Cherry's eyes twinkled as she remembered what Larry had said earlier. He was not lying when he expressed his desire for a wife.Perhaps he was worried because it was the lifeline that ensured his succession to his family's business.However, out of all the women available, why did he set his eyes on her?Of course, Cherry did not know that if it were not for her, Larry would not even bat an eyelid about his father forcing him into a marriage.“Therefore, it might not be impossible.” Edward's face was filled with unusual delight.“What is?” Cherry who was lost in her own thoughts could not catch up with the direction this conversation was heading.“You and Larry.” Edward looked at his granddaughter with enthusias

Larry lifted his gaze slowly to meet Cherry's.Secretary Leo stood nearby. He thought Cherry’s acting appeared rather pompous and his lips twitched as if he was suppressing a smile. Nonetheless, for reasons unknown to himself, her acting integrated into the given circumstance harmoniously.In spite of that, he was unable to pinpoint which aspect in particular.Larry held her gaze with quiet intensity.“Sir, are you here to catch a flight too? Where are you heading to?” If he continued to remain silent, Cherry thought she could find a chance to sneak away after exchanging a few words of greetings.In actuality, she realized she had gone over the top with the greetings earlier. They had only met once, after all.Although it was true that they had discussed a marriage arrangement on their first encounter.“I was waiting for you.” Larry admitted finally, breaking the silence. The straightforward reply he provided left her with no room to save the situation.“…”She was at a loss for words

“So, what’s your plan?” Under Larry’s penetrating stare, these words rolled off Cherry's tongue against her will.She felt the urge to punch herself in the face as soon as her voice trailed off. She should not have shown concern about his plans.Was she genuinely stupid or had she gone mad when she raised that question? Did she just dig herself into a hole?Was it too late to rectify her mistake?Obviously, there was no turning back. Larry replied almost immediately, “Should we go to court? Or your family's Residence?”He made his intentions crystal clear.However, he did not pressure her to head over to her family's Residence this time around because she made it clear that she was strongly against that idea. Instead, Larry gave her a choice.He should not drive her to an impasse or it might backfire.Her lips twitched. Her intuition was right; she had dug her own grave and it was an awful mistake.Larry was cruel; not only did he lower her into the depths of ground but also blocked e
Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 28
“President.” Secretary Leo was rather confused upon seeing Larry and Cherry leaving the building not long after. Had they gotten married? Or not? “To James Villa” Larry threw a quick glance at him before entering the car. “Yes.” Secretary Leo understood within seconds that they had gotten married successfully. James Villa was the President’s main place of residence. The President had instructed him to drop Madam off back home. Without waiting for Larry’s instruction, Cherry entered the car after him and positioned herself in the backseat. Her cell phone rang a few seconds later. Cherry’s eyes twinkled with brilliance upon seeing the name of the caller. Her Senior? Why was Senior calling her at this time of the day? Did something bad happen? “Hello.” She picked up the call after a moment of hesitation and was in quite an awkward position because Larry was sitting right beside her, hence she decided not to exchange greetings. Larry stole a glance at her out of the corner of his
Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 29
At that moment, Cherry who was lightheaded did not register the meaning of the words she heard; perhaps she did but could not bring herself to come up with a response in a matter of seconds. Therefore, her expression remained unchanged as she continued looking at Larry blankly. The latter gritted his teeth in silent fury. He knew from the start that this woman was as sly as a fox. Well, well, well. He was eager to find out how long she could keep on this pretense. He raised a hand and placed it on her back. Cherry’s body froze for a split second and she quickly recollected herself. All her life, she had never been this close to a man or had she allowed herself to be touched in this way, apart from that accident that happened that one night. If he were to force himself upon her, she would surely stand up for herself even if it meant revealing her identity. However, when she lifted her gaze again to meet with his, she immediately realized the intention deeply hidden in his eyes.
