Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 70 He Is Such A Playboy (Part One)

The corners of his mouth slightly lifted. The bed wasn't that big and it seemed too snug for two people to sleep comfortably. Still, that night, Jeremy had a good night's sleep.

Perhaps he was able to sleep well because of Sherry.

Meanwhile, Sherry was uncomfortable and visibly unhappy. When Jeremy woke up that morning, she had already gotten out of bed.

"Good morning," he said softly, smiling.

Sherry snorted. Just as he was about to take her hand and pull her back to bed, someone knocked at the door.

"It's probably the nurse," Sherry said matter-of-factly. Brushing her hair, she raised her voice and said, "Come in, please." When she spoke, her voice was gentle—completely different from the tone she had used on Jeremy earlier.

When the door opened, they were surprised to find that it wasn't a nurse—it was Jeremy's secretary, Barry.

Wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, Barry entered the room and immediately noticed Jeremy still in bed. When he glanced at Sherry, it seemed that she had just gotten up as well. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Ou and Mrs. Ou, Good morning," Barry greeted them politely.

Sherry smiled and greeted him back. However, Jeremy didn't even look at him. A cold look on his face, he asked, "Who told you to come here?"

Since Jeremy had been in the hospital these past few days, he'd been working remotely through his computer and phone. Since Barry was efficient, he seldom bothered him.

So it was not surprising that Jeremy was unhappy with Barry visiting unannounced so early in the morning. Mornings were Jeremy's way of spending some time with Sherry alone.

"Mr. Ou, we need you to come back and make the final ruling. As of the cooperation with the American company, you need to go abroad to sign the contract," Barry said carefully.

As much as Barry didn't want to disturb them, there were so many things Jeremy needed to deal with personally. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Jeremy rubbed his messy head and said in an annoyed tone, "Just leave it to the senior executives."

With an embarrassed look on his face, Barry said, "This isn't just any small company, sir. I think it's best if you deal with it yourself."

Jeremy's company was chaotic now. Some shareholders had begun to protest and be suspicious since Jeremy hadn't shown up to work in a while. Meanwhile, Jeremy didn't care about any of this at all. While he was still the largest shareholder, it still wouldn't be surprising if someone out there was trying to take him down.

Employees were working overtime. His absence had caused such a disarray in the company that the number of people complaining were growing every day.

Standing by the side, Sherry listened to them in silence.

After a few moments, Jeremy said, "Okay, okay. I know. Just go back to the company first."

Barry still wanted to ask Jeremy when he was going to get discharged. However, when he saw that Jeremy was already looking towards the window where Sherry was, he decided against it. He had no

idea what was going on in Sherry's mind.

Barry had no choice but to leave the ward.

As soon as Barry left, Jeremy asked Sherry, "Are you hungry? Hold on..."

Before he could even finish his words, Sherry approached him and said, "You have to go. If you don't go back to work, I'm afraid more problems will arise."

Hearing her worried tone, Jeremy laughed and said, "Don't worry. Your husband is pretty amazing. No one would dare do anything behind my back."

Pursing her lips, she thought to herself, 'Why would he think that I'm worried? When did I ever say I was worried?' She wasn't worried about him at all. She just wanted him to leave already.

"It's not good that you haven't been to work in a while. You're the boss and you need to be there to manage the company and make decisions. With what you're doing, you're making Barry run back and forth the company and the hospital! That must be tiring!"

After a short pause, she added, "And besides, your project with that American company is important and yet you're delaying it. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid they might back out."

However, Jeremy wasn't worried that the American company would back out. If anything, they would be more than willing to wait for Jeremy.

He gazed into her eyes and in a solemn tone, he said, "Wherever you go, I'll be there. I'm not leaving you."

Jeremy thought she would be moved by his words but to his surprise...

Hearing this, Sherry was stunned. She pressed her lips tightly and suddenly said in a low voice, "Stop pretending. I know you've already recovered. You can leave the hospital now."

Dumbfounded, he stared at her.

How did she know? Did she also know that his injury wasn't that serious too?

Judging from her words, it seemed that she didn't know that he was just slightly injured.

Jeremy cleared his throat and said, "You know everything?"

He thought to himself, 'Once I leave the hospital and go abroad, will our relationship, which I've worked so hard on, dwindle further?'

Sherry nodded, purposely leaving out the detail that she found out last night.

"Are you going to divorce me as soon as I leave the country?" Jeremy asked coldly. He figured it was very possible that Sherry would do that. Was she going to bug him about the divorce every day? Why did his heart ache whenever she brought up the divorce?

Sherry shook her head, looked at Jeremy and said, "I promised you that I wouldn't do that while you're abroad."

There were still some things that she was figuring out. She didn't know what she should do.

Looking at him, Sherry said impatiently, "Is that okay?"

When she recalled how Jeremy tricked her by pretending that he still hadn't recovered just so she would stay with him in the hospital, she got angry. She purposely did all of this because now it was her time to play with Jeremy, the way he had been playing with her all these years.

"Well, that's fine," Jeremy said, nodding. After a while, he added, "But if I find out that you're having an affair while I'm out of the country... You already know what's going to happen."
