All Chapters of Loving The Wrong Man: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Perhaps it's Leonard? Or Mark? Maybe Michael? Or…" Cherry frowned as she mentioned each name while tapping her fingers.The men who were called out by Cherry were taken aback and looked at Nelly knowingly.They were not the only ones who regarded her this way. Many people in the hall also looked at her differently."What are you talking about?" Nelly started to panic. She could no longer maintain her usual ladylike demeanor. She instead raised her voice without warning as she cried out in anger and frustration."Oh dear, she is agitated." Stanley chuckled happily as he looked on from upstairs. "Looks like Cherry knows a lot.""Indeed." Larry raised his eyebrows. Cherry became aware of Nelly's matters after being back home for less than a fortnight.Most people did not know about this, including the men who were called out. How did she know about this, then?Thus…"Am I wrong again? Sorry, but I really have no idea who you truly like, Sis." Cherry pouted and lowered her voice as she s

"That's right. Sis asked Grandpa to bring her home as soon as she recovered. She claimed to still be in love with Hardy and begged Grandpa to pull a few strings so that they could get married. However, Grandpa was reluctant, hence he threw this banquet for Sis in the hope that she would find a more suitable marriage candidate. Yet, from the looks of it, Sis only has eyes for Hardy, since she hasn't interacted with other people in the banquet apart from him." An idea rose in Nelly's mind as she seemed to figure out something from what Stanley said earlier. She then proceeded to fabricate a web of lies while keeping a straight face. "It's evident that Sis has truly invested her heart in Hardy. Not long ago, we were caught in a misunderstanding involving him and Sis is still angry with me even until now." Nelly pursed her lips slightly, her face a pinched mask of grievance. It was obvious to Stanley, who was the chief of police, that Nelly was feeding him false information. Besides, he

“Oh, yes, the mention of Larry reminded me of something. Larry's father seems to have gotten anxious about Larry's marital status lately. He even threatened to hand over all the family business to Larry's younger stepbrother if he doesn't get married by the end of this month.”Cherry's eyes twinkled as she remembered what Larry had said earlier. He was not lying when he expressed his desire for a wife.Perhaps he was worried because it was the lifeline that ensured his succession to his family's business.However, out of all the women available, why did he set his eyes on her?Of course, Cherry did not know that if it were not for her, Larry would not even bat an eyelid about his father forcing him into a marriage.“Therefore, it might not be impossible.” Edward's face was filled with unusual delight.“What is?” Cherry who was lost in her own thoughts could not catch up with the direction this conversation was heading.“You and Larry.” Edward looked at his granddaughter with enthusias

“So, what’s your plan?” Under Larry’s penetrating stare, these words rolled off Cherry's tongue against her will.She felt the urge to punch herself in the face as soon as her voice trailed off. She should not have shown concern about his plans.Was she genuinely stupid or had she gone mad when she raised that question? Did she just dig herself into a hole?Was it too late to rectify her mistake?Obviously, there was no turning back. Larry replied almost immediately, “Should we go to court? Or your family's Residence?”He made his intentions crystal clear.However, he did not pressure her to head over to her family's Residence this time around because she made it clear that she was strongly against that idea. Instead, Larry gave her a choice.He should not drive her to an impasse or it might backfire.Her lips twitched. Her intuition was right; she had dug her own grave and it was an awful mistake.Larry was cruel; not only did he lower her into the depths of ground but also blocked e

At that moment, Cherry who was lightheaded did not register the meaning of the words she heard; perhaps she did but could not bring herself to come up with a response in a matter of seconds. Therefore, her expression remained unchanged as she continued looking at Larry blankly. The latter gritted his teeth in silent fury. He knew from the start that this woman was as sly as a fox. Well, well, well. He was eager to find out how long she could keep on this pretense. He raised a hand and placed it on her back. Cherry’s body froze for a split second and she quickly recollected herself. All her life, she had never been this close to a man or had she allowed herself to be touched in this way, apart from that accident that happened that one night. If he were to force himself upon her, she would surely stand up for herself even if it meant revealing her identity. However, when she lifted her gaze again to meet with his, she immediately realized the intention deeply hidden in his eyes.
