The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1057

"Is it still… because of your family?" Sheryl asked. "Yes, it is," Sue sighed.

"Even though they've been caught now, I can't feel at ease. I was thinking maybe I should pay them a visit." "You'd better not," Sheryl disagreed.

She reasoned with her, "You clearly know what kind of people Peggy and Allen are. If you visit them now, they won't feel grateful for your kindness. Instead, they will hate and curse you. It will be better for you to stay home and take care of your unborn baby. Just leave them alone. Don't you think so?"

"Sher..." Sue smiled bitterly. "You don't need to comfort me. I know. What you said makes sense.

But I really can't just disregard them. I don't know what I should do."

Sue hated herself for complaining to Sheryl again, but she couldn't help it. "Sher, I can't count how many times you've consoled me. I hope that you don't find me so troublesome."

"Of course not," Sheryl denied with a smile. "You are my friend and I hope that you can live a happy life together with Anthony, and eventually have a cute baby."

Sheryl's words made her smile. "I know what you mean, really. But… I just can't do it."

She hated that she didn't have a strong mind. "Sher, you know what my family is like and I've accustomed to my mother and brother. Whatever happens, they are my family. No matter how they treat me, as long as they are there, I know that I have a home. If I lose them, a part of me will be lost too, as it will leave me an emptiness in my heart. I overheard Anthony talking about Allen's case over the phone several days ago.

He mentioned that Allen might be sentenced severely. It's probably death penalty or life imprisonment. As for my mother…

she might be put in prison for at least five years. Every time I think I turned them in myself, I feel guilty." "Sue, Anthony is right about you. You are too kind and considerate." Sheryl shook her head. "Why don't you just think about how they treated you before?"

Sheryl paused and tried to comfort Sue. "Moreover, Allen is an adult, and he should accept the punishment for his own crime." "You're right, but still, I just can't feel at ease."

No matter how Sheryl persuaded her, Sue just couldn't put them aside. When she saw that Sheryl was about to continue, she stopped her. "Sher, you don't need to say more."

Sue patted her hands and smiled, "I know that you're doing this all for me, but… this is a special case. I don't think anyone can change my mind. I hope that one day I will figure it out by myself. Sher, I really appreciate all that you have done for me.

You're always there to comfort me and make sure I feel better. Believe me, I will come around one day." Sheryl sighed. She knew she wouldn't be able to change anything. "All right. I'll be waiting for that day."

The next day was George and Sula's wedding ceremony. But Holley had no idea about it.

After she parted in discord with Oliver, Holley wasn't able to find another patron who would like to help her.

Just as she was driven to her wits' end, her phone started to ring and Donna's name came up on caller ID.

"Hello, Aunt Donna! This is a surprise. What brings you to call me today?" Holley answered in a sweet voice.

"Of course it's because I have something to talk with you," Donna snorted. "So...

are you available now? I was hoping we can meet up." "Of course I'm always available for you," Holley answered gladly. "Let's meet half an hour later, in the teahouse where we met last time."

"Okay." Donna hung up immediately, unwilling to talk more with Holley.
