My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2693

Cherry could not allow Tia to pass this opportunity up. After all, it was the perfect chance for them. It

was something that must not be allowed to go to waste.

Tia was blushing as she looked down and replied, "D-don't say that. I just did the bare minimum."

Initially, she was just doing what she thought she was supposed to do: taking care of a person who had

been hospitalized. However, Cherry's words had made very shy as her cheeks began to flush.

"Oh, sure, sure. It's just the bare minimum." Cherry smiled, while Tia was too embarrassed to look her

in the eye.

After watching Cherry's antics for a while longer, Stanley could not help but interrupt her. "Don't you

have any work to take care of?"

"Of course I do. What are you talking about? Do I look as though I've got nothing better to do?" Cherry

rolled her eyes.

'Is it not obvious enough that I'm trying to be his wingwoman?' she thought.

Stanley understood what Cherry was trying to do, but his relationship with Tia was not as simple as

Cherry imagined.

"Erm...you guys can continue chatting. I'll head out for a while," Tia said, wanting to step out because

of how embarrassed she felt.

"Alright." Cherry smiled.

After Tia had left, Cherry turned to Stanley at once and said," So, shall we make a deal?"

Stanley was about to tell Cherry not to tease Tia or pass remarks about their relationship, but Cherry's

act of blurting that question out to him caught him off guard right away." What deal?"

Then, Cherry inched closer to Stanley and said, "You're going to play the part of a fake boyfriend so

that we can stop my family from pressuring me into marriage. In return, I'll prove to you that Tia cares

about you."

She appeared as if she had just come up with a deal he could not refuse.

Stanley frowned. "Are you sure what you're doing won't cause Tia to give up instead?"

Tia had already stopped herself from dreaming about it. If Stanley were to have a girlfriend for real, she

might even choose to ignore him and establish no contact completely.

"Of course not. Sometimes, a little jealousy would help offer clarity to a person's true feelings." Cherry

tilted her head a little and looked at Stanley. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"As for me, I'll sacrifice myself and play the role of the evil, abusive girlfriend," she continued.

"The evil girlfriend?" Stanley raised his brows in confusion.

"What I mean is that I'll pick on you. That way, Tia will be forced to step in and intervene." Cherry

shrugged.

Tm really going to bust my ass for this act.' she thought.

"Why are you helping me?" Stanley was confused.

Although it was a good idea, the entire act would only benefit him. As such, it made no sense as to why

Cherry would sign up for something like that.

In turn, Cherry sighed and added, "My family's tendency to pressure me into a relationship is getting

out of hand."

After a slight pause, Cherry took a seat beside him and added, "They have made it clear that they'll

marry me off against my will if this blind date becomes the latest addition to my laundry list of failures.

"You don't even have a partner, how are you going to get married?" Stanley asked, feeling a little

shocked.

"They accused me of being picky and genuinely uninterested in blind dates, so they've decided that

they'll pick someone on my behalf if this gig falls apart too." Cherry replied, her tone tinged with dismay.

"I don't understand. Is it because my family can't afford to feed me any longer? Is that why they're in a

rush to get me married off?"

Stanley smirked and laughed. He was shocked to find that families with such mentalities still existed,

but he was also amused by the reason for Cherry's marriage.

"You can laugh all you want. You don't need to hold yourself back." Cherry glared at Stanley.

"I'm not intentionally laughing at you. I just don't think you

eat enough for them to not be able to feed you," Stanley replied.

It was impossible that her family would be in such a rush to marry her off for the reason stated.

Amused by Stanley's remark, Cherry could not help but smirk. "You're really an insensitive dude. How

did Tia even fall in love with you?"

And in an instant, Stanley's smile vanished. "So, how do you plan to carry the act out?"

However, there was a question left to be answered. If Stanley managed to get into a romantic

relationship with Tia, what would happen to Cherry? How would she explain it to her family?
