After their vacation was over, it's finally time for the four to bid the couple farewell.

Clara and Edd hugged their son and daughter-in-law.

"You take care of each other, okay?" Clara said it happily.

Axel nodded his head. "Of course, we will take care of each other."

Edd hugged his son. "Give us a grandchild soon!"

Axel grinned. "Sure, Dad. We will try our best!"

Clara hugged her daughter in law. "You take care of yourself, daughter. Remember those foods and supplements I told you the other day; take them every day so that you will get pregnant quickly."

Sherry smiled. "Copy, Mom."

"And thank you so much for taking good care of us. We truly appreciate your love and care," Clara said in a grateful tone.

Sherry smiled and hugged her in-law. "Taking care of you and Dad is my pleasure, Mom," she said thoughtfully.

After bidding farewell to her in-laws, Sherry turned to her parents and hugged them lovingly. "I'm going to miss you, guys!" She said it, misty-eyed.

"Me too! We truly have lo

    That night, Axel didn't enter the master bedroom; instead, he went straight to the guest room to sleep for the night. He didn't trust his wife, her sexy lingerie, her intoxicating perfume, her steamy music, her sexy body, or her bewitching seduction. More than that, he didn't trust his manhood, which would instantly erupt the moment Sherry's hands landed on it.That's it; he can trust his mind but when it comes to his treacherous manhood, who doesn't have the ability to think about what is right and wrong, he will always be at the mercy of his wife's seduction and manipulation.But when he entered the guest room, he saw the brown envelope on his bed, and he quickly grabbed it to see if his wife had finally signed the divorce paper. To her chagrin, the documents were filled with drawings of animals, flowers, and doodles.Sigh.His face darkened in anger, and he closed his eyes, trying to control the anger rising in his mind. It looks like his wife will never sign the divorce paper. Wha

    Meghan studied the faces of her visitors, one pregnant and the other Axel's wife. Although she can't see any traces of threats from the women, it's better to be safe than sorry. She took a deep breath and looked into Sherry's eyes directly. "So, why are you here?" Sherry sent daggers into Meghan's eyes. "I just want you to know that you destroyed my marriage. Do you know how painful it is for a wife like me to be cheated by her husband?" she said bitterly. Meghan sighed. "For your information, Axel wants to marry me but due to the arranged marriage that took place between you and him, we broke up. I am the one who is cheated by you!" Sherry glared at Meghan. "Are you blind? I'm the woman that Axel married in the church! That makes you his mistress. You should not have come back to his life because he is a married man already!" Meghan pouted. "Why did you agree to the arranged marriage because your family's business is about to go bankrupt? You are just using Axel for his money! You

    That night, Axel arrived home to the mansion and went straight to the master's bedroom.Nancy was still watching TV when Axel entered the room."Thank you for taking care of my wife," he told Nancy."You're welcome," Nany replied, turning off the TV and rising to her feet."How is she?" Axel asked Nancy, observing his wife's face, still sleeping on the bed."She had awakened one hour ago and begged me for a bottle of wine because she wanted to forget her misery. I refused her request, and then she went back to sleep again. I think when you chose Meghan over her, she was hit badly. She told me that she didn't want to live anymore. And she kept crying every now and then," Nancy explained sadly. "I'm worried about her. She looks so depressed and broken right now," she added.Axel breathed deeply, feeling tormented inside. "I'm worried about her too," he said in a despondent tone.Nancy saw the genuine concern gleaming in Axel's eyes. "You really hurt her big time. She looks awful, right?

"I'm glad you like my man cave. Feel at home," Russell said, plopping down on the couch.

    She looked into his eyes and said, "Alright, I will no longer divorce you but on one condition..." Axel grinned happily. "I agree to all your conditions as long you will no longer divorce me."

"Alright, we will talk about this matter after you come home. Today is not the right time to discuss family affairs," she said, dropping the topic quickly. "OK, I understand," Axel said, agreeing to his wife's decision to continue discussing their marital condition some other time. The couple bonded with their adorable twins in the bed.

    One week had already passed since he last talked to Sherry. Russel was fighting the urge to call Sherry or send her a heartfelt message. He was expecting that she would beg him to reconcile with him. Unfortunately, she never sent him a message of reconciliation. Has she just forgotten him like that? As in? That hurts really bad! He thought he was very special in Sherry's heart. Why didn't she message him for reconciliation? Russell shook his head, feeling sad and disappointed that the woman he genuinely loved moved on quickly from their breakup as if he didn't exist in her heart. He can do the same if she can move on quickly from their broken relationship. He hated to admit that he did miss her so much, but he also got his pride and ego to think about. No! He won't call or message her asking for a reconciliation. He broke up with her, so be it! He will never back out from his decision. It's final! He will never wait for her. Now that he finally manages to break free from his obse
