Chapter 89
The news was so shocking that Sherry couldn’t recover for a long time.

Even as the waiters brought in dish after dish and placed them on the table,
she remained in a daze.
“Sherry?” Mr. Sniper called softly.
“Huh?” Sherry snapped back to reality, but David and his entourage were no
longer in sight. “Where did they go?”
“They left,” Mr. Sniper said. “The Ford family couldn’t afford to lose face, so they
had to leave.”
Sherry felt lost. She grabbed Mr. Sniper’s hand and asked incredulously, “Was
that really David? Did you already know that he married my aunt and had a
child?”
“Sherry, calm down and listen to me.” Mr. Sniper gently stroked her back. “I

knew this news would be difficult for you to accept, so I didn’t tell you directly.
But unfortunately, they showed up today, and sooner or later, the truth had to
come out. Instead of facing this alone and helpless, I’d rather be by your
side.”
Sherry’s hands and feet turned cold. She shook her head lightly. “So, what
you’re saying is that when Aunt Nora left the Jimenez family and David left
my mother, they were already having an affair?”
“Feelings are something that can’t be proven. Only they themselves know
what happened between them. My people could only find out that they
registered their marriage five years after your mother’s death. No one knows
what happened between them during those five years.”
Sherry lost her appetite. She could not think straight. She had longed for her father for so long, and she had imagined countless times what it would be
like to reunite with him. She had also thought that maybe there was another reason behind his departure. But now, everything was not what she
imagined. How could she accept it?

And what about her uncle? How would he take this?
“Don’t you want to eat?”
“No, I have no appetite.”
Mr. Sniper didn’t force her. He just placed the mashed potato in front of her
and softly persuaded her, “You still have a child in your stomach. You can’t
skip meals. This mashed potato is easy to digest. Just eat a little.”
Sherry obediently ate it, but she couldn’t taste anything at all.
It was a sleepless night. The next morning, when Mr. Sniper got up to go to
work, she followed him as usual, preparing breakfast for him.

However, Mr. Sniper pushed her back into bed, saying, “Just lie down today
and rest well. Don’t worry too much. I’ll have a caregiver look after your uncle.
Even if Nora and Sophia want to come, they won’t be able to step into the
ward.”

Sherry could only nod.

“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I’ll call Camila to come and keep you
company today, okay?”
Not long after Mr. Sniper left, Camila arrived.

Sherry hadn’t had time to change her clothes, so she opened the door for her
in her pajamas. “Camila, you’re here.”
Camila yawned, her eyes half–closed. “Sherry, I’m so tired…”
As soon as Camila entered, she immediately lay down on the bed
comfortably, and she complained, “Your Mr. Sniper is so heartless! He called
me at 6:30 in the morning and asked me to come here. It’s pitiful; I’ve never gotten up at 6:30 in my life.”
Sherry felt a little guilty and spoke softly, “I’m sorry, he’s just worried about
me.”

“It’s okay,” Camila waved her hand. “If you make me some food, I’ll feel better.
I’m easy to please. Food can make our friendship last forever.”
Camila always had the ability to lift people’s spirits.
Sherry chuckled softly. “Alright, you can lie down for a while longer. I’ll go make
some food for you.”
Camila quickly grabbed her and said, “Hey, no rush. I can eat at any time. I
need to ask first. Did something happen that made Mr. Sniper so anxious and
wake me up to come and keep you company? My dad told me that Malcolm
and Sophia’s wedding is going to happen soon. He even received the
invitation. You’re not upset about this, are you?”
“No.”
“That’s good. If you’re still sad because of that scumbag, I’ll give you a good lecture.”
Camila crossed her hands behind her head, propped one leg up on the other

knee, and wiggled her feet. “Sherry, what does it feel like to be pregnant? I’ve
seen it on TV dramas: pregnant women feel nauseous and all that. Do you
have any of those symptoms?”

Sherry shook her head. “Not yet, but it’s still early days. Who knows if I’ll have
morning sickness in the future?”
“It’s okay, even if you do. Your Mr. Sniper will take care of you. He must have a
way.”
Sherry raised an eyebrow. “Why do you think so highly of Mr. Sniper?”
Camila gave her a disdainful look. “That’s because he seems like the perfect
man! Especially having had someone like Malcolm before, Mr. Sniper has

been portrayed as an exceptional man! And I have to say, based on my
observation, that Mr. Sniper really takes care of you. He’s like a caring father!”
“A caring father?”
“Exactly. He takes care of you in every way, just like a father would,” Camila

grumbled as she rolled around on the bed with her blanket. “I really want
someone like this too! But let’s forget about it; I can’t even stand my own
father’s temper. Sherry, have you ever fantasized about what your father
would be like?”

Of course she had. She had been fantasizing since she was born. Her mother
had a photo that allowed her to yearn, but her father had left no clues. It was
definitely a lie to say she hadn’t fantasized.
“Probably… he has forgotten about my mother, and then he becomes
successful, gets married, and has a good life.”
Camila sensed her disappointment and felt that it reminded her of her own
identity. She turned over and embraced her. “You’re right. Back then, studying
abroad must have been quite an accomplishment. Whether he stayed
overseas or returned after completing his studies, he should have had a
promising future. Sherry, do you still have the desire to find him?”
“No, I don’t, Sherry answered firmly. “If he could heartlessly abandon a

pregnant wife, it means my mother was insignificant to him. Why should I
bother searching for him? Perhaps he already has a happy family, and I
would only be causing trouble.”
