Marrying the Rich Widow
Chapter 28 Horse Racing
Cherry opened her eyes, David was hugging her from behind, "good morning, baby."
"Good morning. Sleep well?" ask David.
"Yes." Yeah." Cherry clasped David's hand.
"Cherry, you have to pay your debts now."
"Debit?" ask Cherry doesn't understand.
"Yesterday you promised you'd do it at home."
Cherry closed her eyes, "she never forgets this," she said.
David buried his face in Cherry's nape, "we took a bath together."
"Yes" replied Cherry timidly.
Then David got up and took Cherry to the bathroom. Cherry was embarrassed to show her red face, then she buried it in David's chest that field.
"Be quiet, I'll rub your back" David said after they were in the bathroom.
"Darling, I can do it myself."
"Src ..."
David rubbed Cherry's entire body with an abundance of soap foam. The romantic things that David expected turned into laughter. Cherry invited him to play soap bubbles.
After finishing the bath, Cherry put on her bath robes, while David just wrapped a white towel around her waist. Then suddenly David picked up Cherry and took her to bed, "you really don't want me?"
Cherry looked at David, grabbed him by the neck and pulled him into the arms, "i want you" she whispered.
"Tok-tok-tok." Door knocked.
Both of them looked towards the closed door.
"David, it's noon. Mama's waiting for you to have breakfast, come on down." David's mother's voice from outside the room.
"Mama?" David didn't know his mother was coming.
Cherry immediately fixed her messy bath robes.
"We'll be right down, Ma." replied David.
David and Cherry immediately changed clothes, "failed again," grumbled David.
Cherry held back her smile and took David by the hand and went down the stairs. Mama David has been sitting in the dining room.
"Ma, why didn't you tell me?" ask David while sitting down. Actually David has memorized the behavior of his mother who likes to suddenly come to his house.
"Basic brat. Don't you like the presence of your mom?"
"Mrs ... How are you?" Cherry approached him and they hugged.
"Good mom, have you filled in?"
Cherry doesn't understand what you're talking about.
"Don't tell me that you've never stirred pasta before" continued mama David.
"Pasta? We never make pasta." replied Cherry.
Mama David glanced at David, "do you really not want to give mama a grandchild?"
"If you hadn't knocked on the door, I would have stirred the pasta." murmured David softly.
Cherry's cheeks flushed in embarrassment at the direction of their conversation.
"Dear, sit down,"
Cherry sat down next to Mama David and enjoyed breakfast.
"Ma, we'll go see the horse races. Mama's coming?" ask David.
"No, there's something I need to do."
"All right."

This is the first time Cherry has seen a live horse racing match. He is currently in the VVIP stands on the top floor. From here he could see the vastness of the racetrack. In each corner there is a large screen to display a clearer picture in the arena.
Cherry sat down to enjoy her cold drink, watching David fluttering on the edge of the stands, "when only watching horses, but dressed like this." David wore a full suit, unlike when working. Cherry herself also wears a knee-length dress combined with a wide round hat.
Initially Cherry imagined she would wear a t-shirt and jeans, like a football fan, she would yell and jostle with others. But it turns out that here it is exactly like having a tea event at a fancy restaurant with a view of horses in the field below.
Suddenly Billy comes to David and whispers something. Then David walked towards Cherry, "wait here for a bit. I have a job."
"Good."
"Message something if you want it."
Cherry thumbs up, and David leaves her in the room, followed by Billy.
"Cherry!" calling a woman, he waved familiarly at her.
"Sadah?"
"Hi, are you alone?" Sarah looked in all directions trying to find the figure she wanted.
"No, I'm with David."
Without excuse, Sarah sat down near Cherry, "why didn't you tell me? I thought you weren't gonna come here."
"Ah sorry, I was really busy yesterday." Yesterday Cherry was busy playing with David, forgetting her promise to Sarah.
"Hahaha .. importantly we have met here. Where is David?"
"He still has a job."
"He's like my papa. Everywhere you go, work is followed. You know my papa, right?"
Cherry fell silent, she really didn't know about Sarah's family.
"Hahaha .. I forgot that you are new to this city. My father is the mayor here."
"Ah, mayor An," said Cherry.
Sarah nodded, "Cherry, I'll treat you. Order some food," she's trying to take Cherry's heart.
"I ordered it."
"so yeah. Cherry, does David have a girlfriend?" Sarah finally asked the question she had wanted to ask Cherry since she first met yesterday.
Cherry looked at Sarah, she had mistakenly thought that she was David's sister and Cherry had not had a chance to tell her the truth, "already."
"really?" Sarah was very surprised to hear that, "a few years ago David and I were lovers. Then his secretary took him from me. Is her new boyfriend a secretary too? They must have played a sneaky trick to get David's heart. The poor are scrambling to climb up his bed."
Cherry did not expect to hear from Sarah, "do you know them so you can say that?"
"There's no need to know them, all poor people like that" Sarah replied arrogantly, "David only fits women of similar status. Like me for example." Sarah clasped Cherry's hand, "Cherry I'm a good sister-in-law, I'll definitely spoil you later."
Cherry pulled his hand, "David has spoiled me so much, I don't need anyone else."
"Hahaha .. it's lucky that you have such a caring sister. I'm an only child, so I've never felt the affection of a sister."
"Have I left you too long?" David came from behind Cherry.
"No." said Cherry with a faint smile.
"Hi, David. I'm with your sister, she won't be bored by herself" said Sarah showing her familiarity with Cherry to take David's heart.
David looked at Cherry, then Cherry raised an eyebrow indicating she did not know.
"Cherry, let me show you something." David held Cherry's hand.
"We'll excuse us first" Cherry told Sarah.
"It's gonna be boring alone here. Can I come with you? The game hasn't started yet."
"We were just for a moment" David gently refused, then he grabbed Cherry's hip and walked into the room.
Sarah who was left alone felt neglected by David, "why is her own sister so affectionate? Is she a sister complex?" inner Sarah.

"Name Black." David stroked his black horse head.
"Wow, he's so cool." Cherry admired the gallant horse in front of her but she dared not approach.
"Come here." David guides Cherry's hand to touch her fine fur.
"Will he be competing?" ask Cherry.
"Never, I won't let him race. He was injured when I rode him last month. Now he's being treated here until the wound heals."
"It's a pity .. but it looks like he's okay."
"Yes, in a few days he can go home."
"Hi, Black .. get well soon. We'll meet at home." Cherry began to dare stroke Black's head.
"What did you say to Sarah?"
"I don't talk to him much. I just listen to the story. Somehow he thinks I'm a little brother."
"Hahaha .. I remember my stepson."
Cherry's face was red with embarrassment, pinching David's hip to vent his frustration.
"He said you were lovers" Cherry said.
"Hmmm ..."
