Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 1029

Surprisingly enough, Cheryl ended up listening to gossip about herself in the end!

She grinned and said, "Um, I'll go first."

"... Okay," Zac replied.

Even after walking a distance away, Cheryl could still hear Mrs. Stannard nagging at Zac. "Young man, you are already in your twenties. It's about time you find a girlfriend. It can't possibly be that you've never had a girlfriend before because you're into men instead, right?"

Cheryl:"??"

Did she just hear something she shouldn't have?

She quickly sped up, lest she ended up being silenced by the captain.

Well, just kidding.

He wouldn't actually kill her, of course. However, if he made her life difficult in the future, things would certainly become very troublesome.

As her mom said, one must always cut off any potential source of trouble!

It was only after Zac watched the kid speed up and escape that he finally came back to his senses. "Huh? What did you just say?"

Mrs. Stannard:"???"

Cheryl had a good night's sleep that evening.

When she woke up the next day, the butler drove her to a nearby helicopter base, where she returned to New York for training via helicopter.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

All five shots hit the bullseye in succession.

Satisfied, Cheryl lowered the gun. Her coach then came over. "Good, it seems that you haven't been slacking."

But after saying that, he couldn't help but start nagging at her. "Cheryl, you carry the national team's hope of victory. We are counting on you for our gold medal this year. Can't you join that game club later? What's so good about games anyway? Can it win you anything? You should stay here to continue training instead. You..."

Cheryl couldn't help but interrupt. "Coach, what am I even supposed to work on if I stay here to train?"

The coach suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Ever since Cheryl joined the national team, she had consistently hit the bullseye every time. It was indeed true that there was nothing she could improve anymore!

After all, how would he know that Justin was the one who had taught Cheryl her shooting skills?

However, she was not allowed to skip her monthly training. This was the furthest the coach would relent.

Cheryl had agreed to it as well.

After all, she did have to practice a bit every month to prevent her skills from becoming rusty.

It was currently June. Once the Olympics rolled about in August, she would be competing for Team America!

When she thought of how neither of her brothers was involved in such activities, Cheryl couldn't help but smile.

After a whole afternoon of training, she finally found her groove.

Then, she went straight home in the evening.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she spotted Justin sitting on the sofa and staring at the door. At the sight of her, the man got up. In a low but gentle and cheerful voice, he said, "You're back."

"Uh-huh!" Cheryl skipped over and asked, "Where's Mom, Dad?"

Justin replied, "Why are you looking for your mom the moment you return...? She's already asleep."

... I knew it! Cheryl thought.

Her mother's terrible habit of excessive sleeping still hadn't changed, despite so many years going by. She fell asleep all the time without any warning.

This was due to her mother's physical constitution, though.

She was about to go upstairs when Justin said, "The kitchen has prepared your favorite chicken soup. New clothes and dresses from the current season have also been brought upstairs."

After speaking, he looked at Cheryl disdainfully and said,

"Girls should dress up more!"
