Chapter 70 He Is Such A Playboy (Part One)

The corners of his mouth slightly lifted. The bed wasn't that big and it seemed too snug for two people to sleep comfortably. Still, that night, Jeremy had a good night's sleep.

Perhaps he was able to sleep well because of Sherry.

Meanwhile, Sherry was uncomfortable and visibly unhappy. When Jeremy woke up that morning, she had already gotten out of bed.

"Good morning," he said softly, smiling.

Sherry snorted. Just as he was about to take her hand and pull her back to bed, someone knocked at the door.

"It's probably the nurse," Sherry said matter-of-factly. Brushing her hair, she raised her voice and said, "Come in, please." When she spoke, her voice was gentle—completely different from the tone she had used on Jeremy earlier.

When the door opened, they were surprised to find that it wasn't a nurse—it was Jeremy's secretary, Barry.

Wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, Barry entered the room and immediately noticed Jeremy still in bed. When he glanced at Sherry, it seemed that she had just gotten up as well. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Ou and Mrs. Ou, Good morning," Barry greeted them politely.

Sherry smiled and greeted him back. However, Jeremy didn't even look at him. A cold look on his face, he asked, "Who told you to come here?"

Since Jeremy had been in the hospital these past few days, he'd been working remotely through his computer and phone. Since Barry was efficient, he seldom bothered him.

So it was not surprising that Jeremy was unhappy with Barry visiting unannounced so early in the morning. Mornings were Jeremy's way of spending some time with Sherry alone.

"Mr. Ou, we need you to come back and make the final ruling. As of the cooperation with the American company, you need to go abroad to sign the contract," Barry said carefully.

As much

He thought to himself, 'Once I leave the hospital and go abroad, will our relationship, which I've worked so hard on, dwindle further?'

Sherry nodded, purposely leaving out the detail that she found out last night.

"Are you going to divorce me as soon as I leave the country?" Jeremy asked coldly. He figured it was very possible that Sherry would do that. Was she going to bug him about the divorce every day? Why did his heart ache whenever she brought up the divorce?

Sherry shook her head, looked at Jeremy and said, "I promised you that I wouldn't do that while you're abroad."

There were still some things that she was figuring out. She didn't know what she should do.

Looking at him, Sherry said impatiently, "Is that okay?"

When she recalled how Jeremy tricked her by pretending that he still hadn't recovered just so she would stay with him in the hospital, she got angry. She purposely did all of this because now it was her time to play with Jeremy, the way he had been playing with her all these years.

"Well, that's fine," Jeremy said, nodding. After a while, he added, "But if I find out that you're having an affair while I'm out of the country... You already know what's going to happen."
