The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1098

If he could just calm down and think logically, he would have realized what kind of person Sheryl truly was. After all they had been through together for so many years, he should already know that Sheryl was not that kind of person who would be mean to others. She wouldn't hate someone enough to satire them like this.

But Charles wasn't thinking. He had blindly believed what he had witnessed.

The lies on the surface clouded his vision.

"Sher, listen to me. I know that you feel wronged about this whole thing right now. But you have to clearly explain everything to Charles. If you don't make an effort to open up to him, the misunderstanding between you will only grow deeper. And this will threaten your relationship." Aron tried his best to persuade Sheryl.

He didn't expect that she would be so angry that she would even grab the phone from him and hang up.

The phone rang again.

"Aron, I know that you want to answer his call for my sake. But I truly don't want to hear his voice. Could you just leave me alone and let me calm down for one night? You can contact him tomorrow. I really don't want to hear his voice right now, let alone talk to him," Sheryl said in a saddened tone.

"Okay, I know what to do. Sher, if you trust me, could you hand the phone over to me?" Isla asked, as she stretched her hand towards the phone.

Aron could remain calm because he was a man. But Isla was a woman and could easily put herself in Sheryl's shoes. She could figure out whether this was Charles' fault or not, and Charles should know that not every woman would choose to come back home so easily after such a thing had happened.

Sheryl looked into Isla's sincere eyes and handed the phone to her slowly.

"This is Isla," she answered the call.

"Isla, is Sher at your place?" Charles asked in a concerned voice.

"Sher? It's almost midnight. Why would Sher be at my place?" Isla pretended to be slightly surprised. "Aron and I were woken up by your phone call. So, how could Sher be with us?"

"I'm sorry for disturbing you. But there was some misunderstanding between us, and she ran out angrily. I have been searching everywhere for her. But she is nowhere to be found. She really isn't at your house?" Charles asked again, in a pained voice. He didn't want to quarrel with anyone now. He just wanted to find Sheryl.

"No, she is not here. You had a fight? Why? Sher has a good temper. She wouldn't quarrel with anyone unnecessarily. Why did she fight with you? Did you do something to hurt her?" Isla asked indirectly. She wanted to know what Charles thought about the whole thing.

But Charles didn't answer her questions. He asked again, "Sher isn't with you?"

"No!" Isla replied in a firm voice.

"Fine, we'll talk about this later. Right now, I need to find her," Charles said, and hung up quickly.

Isla put down the phone silently.

"What did he say?" Aron asked.

Isla looked at Sheryl's blank face and replied in a faint voice, "Sher, judging from his voice, I think he is very much worried about your whereabouts. Maybe, he has finally realized that he was wrong and that he has crossed the line."

Sheryl stayed silent. After a long pause, she finally heaved a deep sigh. "Even if he has realized that he had said some terrible things, he still believes his mom. As long as his mother still lives in Dream Garden, there won't be any peace between us."
