The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1076

There was no denying that Nancy was really good at cooking. Clark and Shirley ate her food with eagerness. Charles and Sheryl had been tired after working, and they also ate a lot.

However, Gary's mind started to wander when he saw the others enjoying the food.

"Grandpa, today's food is so delicious, you should eat more." Sheryl turned to Gary.

"I'm full." Just as Sheryl spoke, Gary put down his chopsticks. "Charles, come inside with me," he said.

"What's wrong? Why so mysterious? If you have anything to say, you can say it here." Charles was confused. He thought that Gary had nothing he couldn't say in front of Sheryl.

Gary didn't respond.

"Charles, I want to eat more, and Shirley and Clark are enjoying their food. I think you can go to the study room with Grandpa first. After we finish eating, we will go to see you," Sheryl proposed to Charles, bringing him out of his embarrassment.

As Sheryl was speaking, Gary had already gotten up and gone upstairs. His footsteps were not heavy, but when his foot fell on the white marble floor, it sounded quite clear, echoing off of the floor and the walls.

This sound made Charles uneasy. He didn't know where the uneasiness came from, but he had a feeling that Gary would tell him something serious.

'What happened? Why is Grandpa so mysterious?' Charles thought.

At last, he rose and followed Gary up the stairs and into the study room. As he closed the door behind him, he looked over at Gary. "It's just you and me now. You can tell me now, what happened? What's wrong?" Charles asked, staying by the door to the study room.

"Don't worry, Charles. First, sit down." Gary smiled at him, but his smile told Charles that there was something bothering the elder man.

Charles frowned, more confused than before.

Gary was not one to hesitate much, and he also didn't like pretending to be mysterious. What happened today?

"Charles, how are you doing these days?" Gary asked. Although lots of thoughts buzzed around in his head, what came out of his mouth was relatively trivial.

"Pretty good. Sher is back. Shirley and Clark are also with me. I am very satisfied now." Charles's answer was direct but very true. Indeed, he was truly satisfied beyond imagination with his life at the moment.
