Chapter 21 It's Getting Trickier To Deal With You (Part Two)

He looked up and fixated towards her eyes as he was enraptured with her captivating beauty. He was really tantalized whenever he saw her long hair fall over her shoulders.

Whenever he was injured in the past, Sherry would be constantly worried about him and checked up on him often. However, last night she had failed to come see him at all throughout the time. It had even seemed the she had a comfortable night of sleep as she looked so lively this morning.

The thought of this quickly made him feel upset and a look of anger was seen from his eyes.

Sherry finished wrapping his head with a bandage and said, "Okay, time for breakfast!"

'That was fast?' Jeremy thought. Jeremy touched his head lightly as he got off her lap and stood up. All of a sudden, Sherry passively mentioned, "Oh, and I forgot to mention that I had invited a maid here."

By that time Jeremy was drinking a glass of milk. He was so surprised that he almost spat it out and asked her, "Housemaid? Why would you suddenly hire a maid?"

Why didn't she tell him about it? She never asked his opinion!

Besides, she always hated the idea of having a maid.

In the past, Sherry had disliked having a maid in their household because she thought it would be a nuisance to their two-person world. She also feared that one of them might seduce and steal her husband.

"Well, there's so many things going on that I'm having a hard time taking care of this home by myself and I wanted to hire a maid to help," Sherry answered ambiguously.

Jeremy took a bite off the fried egg and thought of how Sherry had always been reliable with supplying him a good nutritious meal each morning. He nodded in agreement and said, "Okay. At least when you're home alone, you'll have someone to accompany you."

'If she has company at home, then at least I would know she wouldn't bring those men back into our home again,' thought Jeremy.

"You should go to the hospital and get a check-up. You never know if there are any more underlying issues that could affect your health," Sherry said in a detached manner.

He could see right through her and knew that she was truly concerned. Jeremy couldn't help it as a faint smile appeared on his face. Sherry could never resist this smile in the past, but now she thought it seemed a bit sarcastic.

"Like I said, there's no need for that. You can bind up my wound again once I get back home tonight." He gulped down his drink and wiped his mouth. "I have to go to work."

He walked towards the door and wore his shoes with his hand carrying his weight on the doorknob. He looked back to take one last look at Sherry, who was now standing by his side. "Just stay at home and don't go anywhere," Jeremy said firmly to her.

Sherry was stunned at the thought of him caring way too much.

Soon after, before Sherry could even speak a word, he had already closed the door and left.

Sherry walked towards the window and watched as the iron gates slowly opened. The moment that Jeremy's car had been driven out, she heaved a sigh of relief and her body was finally relaxed.

All this time she had felt that she was always under his control. Now she could finally take all that weight off her shoulders, and she could finally escape.

After a short while had passed, the doorbell suddenly rang. Sherry speculated that it might be the maid she had invited and opened the door to find her there.

"Good morning! My name is Vicky Fang. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Xu." The maid looked like she was a few years older than her. She carried a bag in her hand as she stood by the doorstep giving Sherry a big smile.

With a sweet smile on her face, Sherry said, "Hello, plea

se come in."

Vicky Fang removed her shoes and as her eyes gazed in astonishment around the villa. Sherry brought her straight to the servant's room and said, "This will be your bedroom."

Vicky Fang nodded and placed her bag in her room. Sherry then told Vicky Fang to follow her so she could have a look around the house.

The plates from the breakfast hadn't been cleaned. Vicky Fang had noticed everything in the plates were finished up. She smiled and said, "Ms. Xu, your husband must love you very much and treat you well. You two must be very happy to be living in such a beautiful house."

She had worked as a maid with several wealthy families already and always noticed that rich men seldom have breakfast with their wives.

These men would rarely return home at night and would take a new woman home whenever their wives were away. Although Vicky Fang had never met Sherry's husband, she was certain that they had a strong relationship with one another.

"It's just okay," Sherry replied in a soft voice, with eyes that looked lost in thought.

Vicky Fang simply assumed that Sherry was just too shy and embarrassed to share about her personal life. She asked, "Ms. Xu, has your husband gone to work?"

Sherry nodded and said, "Yes, he had just left for work and will come back in the evening."

Unfortunately, some nights he would not come home. The thought of this made Sherry feel shivers all over her body and in her heart.

However, this time it didn't matter to her anymore if he would still come back home to her. Sherry brushed off her thoughts and said, "Vicky, I'll be out later this afternoon, so I hope you could take care of the housework today."

"No problem." Vicky Fang was already cleaning up the table instinctively without being asked.

When Sherry got back to the master bedroom, she looked at the quilt in a mess and gave off a timid smile. She had worked hard to make that quilt. Then she opened the wardrobe, took out all her clothes and then took out a suitcase.

'I need a change. I need a fresh start.'

After compiling all her clothes, she then took some daily necessities and pulled out a note from the shelf that she had already prepared.

'There's no shame in doing this after celebrating his birthday,' she thought.

When she carried all her belongings downstairs, Vicky Fang was busy planning on what to prepare for lunch and stared in thought inside the fridge for a long period of time. However Sherry had butted in and said, "Oh, Vicky, you won't be needing to cook lunch for today. I won't be home for lunch."

Vicky turned and said, "Oh, you will be out the whole day!"

Sherry couldn't bear to give a response and instead handed her a piece of paper and said, "My husband's name is Jeremy Ou. This is a list of his daily habits and things that he needs to remember. He's frequently busy and would forget to remember these things. Please keep an eye on him for me."

Vicky Fang took the note in perplexity and asked, "What..."

"I have to go now. I'm sorry for the troubles," said Sherry in a rush.

Vicky Fang watched as she walked out the kitchen and found a blue box in the living room. In that moment she finally understood that something was wrong with Sherry and worried that she had quarreled with her husband.

"But, Ms. Xu..." Vicky Fang wanted to say more but saw that Sherry had already taken out a pair of sunglasses. "I have to go now. Goodbye," she said as she pulled her suitcase out of the door.

Vicky Fang stood still as she stared the closed door, clutching the note tightly in her hands. However, she didn't take her seriously as it was normal for young couples to quarrel once in a while.
