Sheldon was just afraid that she would do something bad to the child after she brought him back to Quartley Palace.

A chill flashed across her eyes. "Don't worry, Mr. Hawls. This child is the descendant of the Quartley Palace, and I am the eldest young mistress of the Quartley Palace. I don't need an outsider like you to remind me. I'll protect this child!" Sheldon was relieved after hearing that.

He was not afraid that Yuliana would harm the child.

He knew that Yuliana dared not do that.

He was just worried that Yuliana would vent her anger on the child after she brought him in.

She might strangle the child or slap him a few times.

Besides, he even subtly warned Yuliana that the child should not be hurt at all.

After he left, Sheldon made a call to Preslie.

But no one answered.

Sheldon knew that Preslie was angry.

He sighed helplessly.

Just like that, six days passed.

During these six days, Preslie was busy in the shop by herself.

It was because Ruth was ill.

Ever since she returned from Nashaland, she fell ill.

It was not a serious illness at all.

They asked for a doctor to check on her several times, but the doctor only said that she was too weak, and that she needed to recuperate.

Preslie thought of various ways to stew delicious food for Ruth.

Ruth knew that Preslie was doing this for her own good, so even if she did not have the appetite, she still forced herself to eat it. But, it was still useless.

During these six days, Ruth ate all kinds of nutrients and tonics, but her body still stayed weak.

Her face was extremely sallow.

Even if she just sat down, she looked so weak that a gust of wind was enough to knock her down, let alone when she was standing up.

In the morning, Preslie was busy by herself in the store.

Even though she had hired a lot of employees, she was still used to working alone.

Even when there was a cashier, she would still take that position when she was free.

She had been busy for the whole morning. Hence, when there weren't any customers, Preslie thought that she should have a rest. At this moment, a figure walked in.

Preslie thought that it was a

customer. Just as she was about to greet him, she shut her mouth the

moment she saw the person who entered. . Ebookex

For that person was Sheldon.

Sheldon had entered.

He smiled and greeted her. "Preslie."

QUOAS

Preslie pretended to not have seen him, she looked to her left.

Sheldon walked to her left.

Preslie then looked to the right, and Sheldon walked in that direction too.

In the end, Preslie simply looked up.

Sheldon was speechless.

He could only smile bitterly. "It has been a week. Are you still angry?"

Preslie ignored Sheldon.

It was obvious that she was angry. She was so angry that her cheeks were puffed up, she looked like a little mermaid. When Sheldon saw her like that, he was amused.

He could only explain patiently, "I

know you are still unhappy about what happened that day, but Preslie. This world is not black or white. There are some things that can't be explained clearly."

Preslie got even more unhappy when she heard that.

She lowered her head and looked straight at Sheldon. "For you, the world may not be black or white, but for me! Right is right! Wrong is wrong! And you were wrong that day!"

Just as Sheldon was about to say something more, Preslie said, "I never knew that you, Mr. Hawls of Nashaland, would be such a coward!"

Her words made Sheldon's heart turn cold.

He was a man too.

And men had self-esteem.
