Chapter 77 Pursuing

Sherry's hand stopped midair as the fruit fell off the fork, startling her.

It was Jeremy who had come in.

Jeremy was cool and attractive. To many women, he was Mr. McDreamy. Unfortunately, they had no idea what Jeremy was really like.

It was ten o'clock now and Sherry hadn't come home yet. It had completely slipped her mind. She wasn't a child. Why did she need to be home before nine? It was ridiculous.

Everyone was surprised to see him but most of them knew him so they greeted him politely, "Mr. Ou."

"Mr. Gu, what a coincidence!" Jeremy walked towards Chester and greeted him with a smile.

Chester's hand was still on Sherry's waist. Originally, he had just wrapped his arm around her waist lightly. When he saw Jeremy, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on her.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Ou? Are you here for someone?" Chester said lightly, not even standing up. He lazily leaned back on the sofa.

"Jere... Mr. Ou!" Linda was about to call him by his name but figured that the occasion didn't call for it. It was better to call him Mr. Ou.

"We're playing a game. Truth or dare. Have you ever played it? We pick a card and we have to do whatever the card says!" Linda explained in a hurry as she glanced at Sherry, signaling for her to stand up already.

Linda knew how bad Jeremy's temper was. Anyone would feel humiliated if he saw his wife sitting in another man's lap.

Especially for someone as domineering, selfish, ruthless, and cold as Jeremy was.

No one else knew about Sherry and Jeremy's secret marriage but Linda. She was the only one who could explain this.

Sherry immediately understood and put the fruit plate back on the table.

"Well, I was looking for someone but looks like my plans have changed," Jeremy explained. When he noticed that Sherry had gotten up, he strode over to her.

Then Jeremy did something that surprised everyone—he sat directly in between Chester and Sherry.

The most spacious sofa that had been reserved for Chester alone suddenly became very crowded.

"Mr. Gu, do you mind if I sit here?" Jeremy asked, sitting down and looking at him.

"Of course not," said Chester.

"Keep playing, everybody! I want to play too." Jeremy raised his voice.

He was even more indifferent than Chester. Sherry was worried if everyone would still want to play after this.

However, it was obvious that Sherry was worrying about nothing. After a night of drinking, everyone was still ready to play.

To her relief, she didn't have to do the dare anymore. Heaving a sigh of relief, she pinched Jeremey's arm and in a low voice, and said, "What are you doing here?"

"What time did I say you were supposed to be home?" Jeremy asked.

Sherry was taken aback. "Stop messing around. I'm not a child. You can leave now. Everyone's going to be uncomfortable now that you're here."

"I think they don't mind. Weren't they just enjoying giving you dares earlier?"

Sherry pursed he

ook a sip of wine and thought, 'Steve is publicly lusting after Sherry. I can't let him get away with this.'

"Yes!" Steve replied generously.

"Wow! I wonder who could be so lucky as to be pursued by Mr. Song!" the women grumbled.

They all sighed in unison. Meanwhile, Linda was starting to feel better upon hearing this answer.

Steve admitted it! Finally! If he didn't, she would probably be more upset.

"Well, this woman I like is... a little proud but I like that about her. She's very beautiful. Not even celebrities could compare. The minute I saw her, I knew there was something special about her."

'What the hell is he talking about?'

Jeremy almost broke the glass he was holding.

'He could just answer yes or no. What is he still blabbering on about?'

Chester glanced at them coldly. Beisy occasionally talked to him but he only vaguely responded to her because he was too focused on what was happening.

When Sherry noticed Steve glancing at her, she turned away and pretended to not see him.

'Why is Steve so talkative tonight? What does he get from doing this?' she thought.

"I like her very much. Although she hasn't said yes to me yet, I'm confident that she will soon," Steve said proudly.

Linda felt her heart fluttering, her anger had completely dissipated now.

Linda thought, 'Steve never fails to surprise me.'

However, Steve was actually referring to Sherry and not Linda. With the way he was speaking, it was pretty obvious that he was talking about Sherry.

Sherry kept avoiding his gaze.

That night, Jeremy was absolutely annoyed with Chester and Steve. When he first came, he was greeted by Sherry sitting on Chester's lap. And now Steve was basically confessing to liking Sherry. He couldn't believe these two men!

Jeremy thought to himself, 'There's no way that Steve is ever going to get Sherry. No way!'

Sherry had no idea what was going on in Jeremy's mind but she pretended to not hear Steve at all.
