"Mr. Gu, you're so kind. Thank you for taking care of Sherry for me," Jeremy said sincerely, raising the corners of his mouth.
Chester seemed mildly startled much to Jeremy's satisfaction.
"If you can do the same. I'll admire you," replied Chester. Jeremy had promised to take care of her, but he failed to keep his promise.
"Well, Sherry and I are a family. You may not know her well and you may not know what she likes. Right, Sherry?"
'Where is that coming from?' Sherry wondered. Nevertheless, she answered mechanically, "Yes."
The corners of Chester's mouth twitched but he didn't say anything. Defensively, Jeremy added, "Well, she's only being polite to you."
"Really? Well, next time, I'll take note of what she likes and doesn't like," Chester responded.
At that moment, Chester couldn't figure out if they were really married or not since it seemed as if Jeremy was the only who had feelings for Sherry. Chester slightly clinched his hands on his knees as he thought of this.
"No need. I'm here anyway and I'm doing a much better job than you are. You don't have to get yourself involved in this," Jeremy replied.
Sherry felt her head throbbing. What on earth were they talking about?
"Involved? Don't you have manners, Jeremy?" Sherry said in a disapproving tone.

"If I told you that I did have an affair, what would you do?"
'How is that possible?' Jeremy's heart skipped a beat. If she really was having an affair, he wouldn't be able to take it. He would go crazy.
He would never let his wife near other men.
Looking at his stunned expression, Sherry chortled. "So even if I did have an affair with any of these men, just don't take it seriously."
As soon as she finished her words, she felt Jeremy harshly gripping her wrist. "Did you really have an affair with Chester? Did you sleep with him?"
Sherry gasped, refusing to believe that such a small statement could send Jeremy off the rails. He was so paranoid!
"Ouch! Let me go!" She tried to pinch him to get him to stop but he didn't even budge.
His face was drawing nearer Sherry's that she could feel his hot breath on her cheeks.
"Sherry, how dare you cheat on me?" Jeremy said furiously, gritting his teeth.
