Seeing Charlotte's tears flow down her cheeks, Sheryl sensibly stopped crying. Instead, she sniffled as she took out the Centurion Card.
"Mommy, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you. I bought the dress with this."
Sheryl carefully observed Charlotte's expression while Anne immediately recognized the origin of the card.
"Isn't this my brother's Centurion Card?"
"Uncle Rick said that with this, not only could I protect mommy, but I could also buy beautiful things to please her. That's why I took it," Sheryl confessed, lowering her head in remorse.
After all, she had promised Uncle Rick that this was their little secret.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the incident, Charlotte was moved and selfreproached. Sheryl had been kind- hearted and absolutely adorable since she was a wee kid. How could she suspect that Sheryl had done something that she shouldn't have?
"Sheryl, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted
you."
"I shouldn't have made you angry, Mommy."
The warm sight filled Anne with envy. In order to cut the experience short, she changed the topic.
"Sheryl, why don't you tell us more about the handsome mister you mentioned?"
Earlier, she had immediately rushed over once Sheryl called her. Yet, she didn't bump into this handsome mister.
