The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1039

Sue was not about to complain about the "food" she was given. After all, it was better than the same old rice porridge she had eaten.

With a self satisfied tone, Allen told Sue, "There is some milk in the bag. You can drink some if you like." Sue didn't have much of an appetite, so she felt full after eating only a small bit of what she was given. However, she knew that her unborn baby needed sustenance, so she forced herself to eat more.

Allen put the food aside. Pointing at the milk, he said, "I bought it for you because you are pregnant now and need the nutrients."

Allen glared at Sue and added, "Don't be angry with me. I am only doing all of this because you left me with no other options."

Beaming with pride, Peggy said, "Oh, my son has become a real man. I am so proud of you." Peggy was so happy to see Allen behave like this.

Sue cast a disgusted glance at Allen and said sarcastically, "Thanks."

She knew Allen had never been a mature man. He only bought milk for her because he was happy to have the chance to get away today.

"You are welcome," Allen replied in an almost robotic tone.

The only reason that they allowed Sue to be as "free" as she was at the moment, was because Allen and Peggy were in an exceptional mood. Sitting on the floor, Peggy couldn't stop imaging how happy her future was going to be once their demands were met.

She glanced at Allen and asked, "Where do you want to go, son?"

Allen adjusted himself on the floor and said with a grimace, "I don't really care where we go, as long as this wretched place is left far behind us."

Peggy laughed and said, "I will follow you wherever you go. My only wish is to see you get married and have a family of your very own."

"I promise, you will see it one day," Allen replied with a confidence that was just a hair away from being completely smug.

Sue said nothing as Allen looked at her. "Don't worry. Upon our departure, I will let Anthony know where he can come to pick you up. Although I don't like you, you are still my sister. I won't bring any harm to you or your baby."

"Oh, is that so?" Sue said with a glare.

She didn't want to talk to him about that anymore. Furthermore, she knew and understood that because of the type of person Allen was, it wouldn't be long before he got himself into some more trouble, even if they lucked out this time and were getting to leave the country.

But it seemed to Sue that such a simple concept was lost on Peggy. She was apparently oblivious to it. Maybe she could see it clearly, but just didn't want to admit it.

"I can see that Anthony really cares about you. After we leave, I hope you can do right by him and keep him happy." All of Sue's life, Peggy had hardly shown her any concern, but now she confessed, "I know I have been a bad mother to you. However, I hope you can understand my complete disregard for you."

"Don't you worry yourself. I have never blamed you,"

Sue said with a bitter smile.

Peggy had never given Sue love or concern as her mother and Sue had accepted that fact long. So she had reached a point in her life where she didn't let it bother her anymore.

Gripping Allen's hand, Peggy spoke to him for a long while that night. Sue felt like an outsider. She kept silent so that she didn't interrupt their conversation.

It went from being early evening to late at night in what seemed like the blink of an eye.

As Sheryl was finishing up her shower, Andy called to inform her that he had gotten a tip about a possible location where he might find Allen. Immediately, she finished drying off and put on clothes so that she could head out.
