The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1246

After dropping off her kids at school, Sheryl came back to Dream Garden. Before she could step out of her car, she saw another car following behind her in her rear-view mirror. When she took a closer look, she saw that it was Leila's car.

To signal that she needed a place to park, Leila rolled down her window and whistled. The sharp, obnoxious noise took Sheryl by surprise.

"Who does she think she is?" murmured Sheryl, irritated by the woman's entrance.

"Does she think this is her house?"

"Mrs. Lu…" The driver tilted his head toward Sheryl.

Though he just called her name, Sheryl knew what the driver meant—he wanted to know whether or not they were going to make room for Leila to park. Since they were in the only spot left for parking, the driver couldn't make the decision on his own. Silent and tight-lipped for a while, Sheryl finally nodded her head slightly to the driver. Originally, Sheryl didn't intend to do Leila any favors, but since she didn't have to head out that day, she could let her car stay in the underground garage earlier than usual.

With Sheryl's permission, the driver quickly restarted the car and parked it in the underground garage.

Without hesitation, Leila drove forward to take Sheryl's place. When the car door sprang open, a pair of long, slim legs stretched out from inside the car before a delicate face wearing black sunglasses poked out as well.

The woman was dressed rather glamorously—her black skirt perfectly highlighted her body's curves and her top's neckline exposed her sexy collarbones that were decorated with a shiny blue-emerald neckless. Clearly, she had put effort into her appearance before arriving. Although she had indeed fulfilled that purpose, Leila ignored the idea that as a woman, the most charming way for her to show her beauty was to look delicate and vulnerable. Her rather brash entrance spoiled that sense of beauty.

Disgusted at the sight, Sheryl turned around and walked into the house.

Behind her back, Leila stared at her coldly as she bit her lips.

The deep grudge she had against Sheryl was stronger than ever. Inside her heart, Leila screamed, 'Every time I see this bitch, all I want to do is skin her and feed her bones and flesh to the dogs. If it weren't for that bitch, I wouldn't have stayed in prison for so long! She's the one who made me waste my most wonderful years in that goddamn hellhole! It's all her fault! I'll never forget!"

At the thought, resentment and hatred filled Leila's chest in an instant. The emotions almost made her completely lose control of herself.

When she came back to her senses, Leila followed Sheryl into the house. In the dining hall, Melissa was watching the clock, waiting for their arrival.

"Sher!" Nancy called out to her as soon as Sheryl stepped into the dining hall. A signaling wink accompanied the greeting.

While Sheryl was away, Nancy had to go through a rather unpleasant experience.

Earlier in the morning, while Nancy was busy preparing breakfast for Melissa, the latter waited at the table. The otherwise peaceful morning was ruined by a petty mistake—when Nancy served food onto the table, she accidentally brushed against Melissa's arm.

The contact made Melissa's face twist into disgust. With a glare, she immediately yelled, "What are you doing? How can you be so careless to touch my arm?

And for someone of your old age, you're as careless as a child!"

All her life, what Melissa had suffered through and hated most was other people touching what belonged to her without her permission, including her own body. In her eyes, what Nancy had just done was absolutely nasty and it infuriated her.

"Mrs. Lu I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to…"

As Nancy stuttered out an apology, she nervously stared at Melissa's furious face.

Regardless of Nancy's apology, Melissa continued abusing until she got tired. She then headed straight for the bathroom without sparing a glance at the woman she had just insulted. As she spewed harsh words at Nancy, Melissa couldn't wait to scrub her arm clean at the thought that Nancy's hands were dirty from doing all the housework.

Watching Melissa go into the bathroom, Nancy realized that all the towels had been sent to the laundry, leaving none in the bathroom.

Afraid of further aggravating Melissa, Nancy ran out to find a new one for the former to use.
