Chapter 8 Don't Act Like You Wanted To Hug Me

Of course, Sheryl didn't plan on arguing with Julia for the time being.

There were still so many debts to be taken care of between the two of them, and it was just the beginning.

"Julia, since Frederick specially came to pick me up, I won't be accompanying you tonight," said Sheryl with a faint smile as she hooked her arm around Frederick's wrist.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Julia hastily pulled her back. "Wait!"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Sheryl asked.

It wasn't easy for Julia to meet with Frederick, so how could she bear to let him go? What's more, how could she let them spend some alone time? Absolutely not!

With an awkward smile on her face, she said, "Sheryl, I think you haven't had much fun today. Since Frederick is here and William as well, why don't you stay and have fun to your heart's content?"

Playing to her heart's content? She sneered in her heart. "But Julia, you know that Frederick has never liked the noisy environment, so let's forget about it."

The night was still young and she didn't know what tricks that woman would play. She didn't need any trouble at this point.

Afterwards, she looked at Frederick with a smile. "Hubby, wait for me here. I'll go get my bag."

He gave a slight nod, not giving much of a reaction.

The corners of Julia's mouth couldn't help but twitch. She didn't expect Sheryl to reject her invitation! This was completely beyond her expectations! What exactly went wrong?!

But since Frederick Lance had already nodded, it wasn't appropriate for her to force him to stay.

Thinking about what happened that night, she said awkwardly, "Frederick, tonight's incident was just a misunderstanding. I must have seen the wrong person... However, I was worried that something might've happened to Sheryl."

Hearing this, he glanced at her coldly and ignored her.

She became even more depressed.

At this moment, Sheryl walked over with her bag in her hand. "Julia, we shall take our leave first. I wish you have a good time."

Without waiting for Julia's reply, the two of them walked out of the hotel intimately, hand in hand.

As she watched them from the same spot, she gradually clenched her fists and dug her nails into her palms. The fire of jealousy in her eyes grew more and more intense that she even wished she could tear that woman apart!

Frederick was such an outstanding man, how could Sheryl have the right to stand next to him?! It should be her, Julia Simons, to be the one next to him!

Suddenly, she heard a chuckle. "It seems that you were planning to use me tonight."

When she turned her head around, she saw William walking out wearing a grey bathrobe. She couldn't help but frown. "What do you mean? Who's using you?"

He chuckled. "Stop pretending. It's so obvious, but I really didn't expect you to be interested in Frederick! Who knew you were one of those who would steal your best friend's fiancé."

Julia's face instantly flushed red, and her breathing was a bit hurried. "William, don't you dare talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense? Did you know that when you looked at Frederick's, it's as if you wanted to gobble him up? Setting me up with Sheryl was just your plan to be with him, am I not right?" He spoke the truth without a hint of mercy.

She instantly flew into a rage from embarrassment. "What is it that you want!"

But he just chuckled. "I don't need such a big reaction. I just want to cooperate with you."

Cooperate? She couldn't help but raise her guard. "Cooperate for what?"

He said, "It's very simple. I want to make Sheryl mine, while you like Frederick. As long as you can help me win her heart, won't you be able to pursue him wholeheartedly?"

She had to admit that she'd been greatly moved upon hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a little difficult for her to scheme against Sheryl alone. Moreover, that woman had been getting more and more out of control recently. It might not be a bad thing to have someone help her out.

Therefore, after considering for a moment, she nodded her head at him. "Okay, its a deal!"

Outside the hotel.

As soon as they were out of the hotel, Frederick immediately pulled his hand out of hers and took the initiative to keep a distance from her.

However, Sheryl didn't give up. Instead, she brazenly stuck to him once more.

"Let go of me!" he couldn't help but frown. He exerted some strength in his arms, wanting to get rid of her.

"I won't let go, I won't let go." Sheryl stuck to him tightly like glue, that he couldn't get rid of her no matter how hard he tried.

He frowned. Seeing that there was nothing he could do about her, he could only let her be.

After getting on the car, they fastened their seat belts.

He thought of everything that had happened tonight, especially that woman Julia, something about her just didn't seem right. He couldn't help but turn his head to remind Sheryl, "From now on, stay away from Julia. That woman isn't as simple as you think."

After finishing his words, Sheryl felt a lump in her throat.

She remembered that in her previous life, Frederick had said this to her many times.

But at that time, she thought that he was deliberately trying to go between them.

It was only now that she understood, Frederick already knew how bad of a person Julia was all this while. It was all because she had been too stupid back then, to have been tricked and betrayed!

Thinking of this, she leaned towards him again and held his arm tightly. "I'll listen to you from now on."

His eyebrow furrowed even more.

In the past two days, he clearly felt that she had changed. If he had said such a thing in the past, she would have lost her temper by now.

But not only did she take the initiative to get close with him, but she also became so obedient... How strange!

After a while, seeing that she didn't want to let him go, he couldn't help but scowl, "I'm driving, take your hand away."

She bit her lip slightly and let him go for the time being.

Ten minutes later, in the Lance Family Home.

After he got out of the car, he left her at the door and said without emotion, "Go in and rest earlier."

After that, before he could take a step, he suddenly felt a strong warmth on his back.

"Don't go."

Sheryl didn't know what was wrong with herself, but she couldn't hold it in any longer, and immediately hugged him from behind, "Frederick, you can't go, I won't let you go."

However, she hadn't thought that these actions would light up Frederick's anger!

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

He suddenly turned around, his blazing eyes staring right through hers. He drew closer to her step by step, his powerful aura giving her an unresistable huge pressure.

It was the first time that she had seen him like this. She took a few steps back timidly and said, "I..."

"Don't act like you wanted to hug me. What are you scheming? Tell me."

He couldn't take it any longer. Ever since the engagement night, this woman had been taking the initiative to make out with him. This wasn't her style at all.

In the past, she would rather die than obey. When she saw him, she felt like she had seen the incarnation of evil and wished that he would disappear from this world. But now, she was taking the initiative again and again! What was going on in this woman's mind?!

She didn't blame him for his strong reaction. After all, she used to be such a rebel. But what could she do to make him believe her again?

After thinking for a long time, she whispered, "If I said that I wasn't scheming anything, would you believe me?"
