The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1292

Unexpectedly, the old lady replied, "Cassie…Oh, I saw her once, last night. She was dressed up rather beautifully. She said she was going to a party and would be back home late."

'A party?'

Hearing the news, Nick was surprised before feeling relieved to know where Cassie was. But after pondering, he began to feel enraged about her behavior.

When he called her several times last night, she didn't answer him once. How could she stay out all night?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he grew. He realized that he didn't want to care about her any longer. Abruptly, he stood up and addressed the old lady, "Thank you. I'll be leaving, now."

Although the lady realized that the young man was upset by what he heard, she didn't know what she did wrong. All she could do was sigh as she watched Nick leave.

When he reached the car and prepared to start the engine, he hesitated.

What if something happened to Cassie? What if she couldn't make her way back home?

The thought left him uneasy. Eventually, he decided to stick around for a while. If she didn't come back soon, he would go to the police.

Sitting in his car, Nick pulled out his phone and tried to ring her again, but her phone seemed to be unreachable.

Upset and frustrated, he kept waiting in the car.

As time passed, Nick's patience started running out until a familiar figure started walking towards him.

Cassie was back.

The joy on Nick's face didn't last long. Just as he was about to step out of the car, he saw that Cassie was walking beside a tall man, talking, and laughing. She had breakfast in her hand as she looked up at the man with a warm smile on her face.

"Thank you so much for taking me home."

Cassie smiled at Cora's brother, Jordan Li.

"It's my pleasure. You got drunk on Cora's birthday, so it's only right that I take you home. It's getting late. I'll bring you to the hospital later. You'd better go back and get changed. I'll wait for you downstairs." As he looked at Cassie's smiling face, he was in a daze.

He had met Cassie a long time ago. Once, when he went to the hospital to see his sister, Cassie was there too. He had been already completely amazed by her beauty at first sight. However, he knew that Cassie probably didn't even remember him from then. Otherwise, she wouldn't have simply said "hello" when she saw him earlier in the morning. If it wasn't for Anna who insisted he take her home, Cassie wouldn't have let him do so.

As it occurred to Cassie that she would have to go to work later, she rushed upstairs.

As she made her way to her room, Jordan Li stared at her retreating figure for a long while.

From the car, Nick watched the exchange and saw everything—Cassie's smile and the loving eyes of the man toward her. Jealousy overcame him.

Not able to bear it any longer, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Step by step, Nick neared Jordan Li, who was still staring at where Cassie went, oblivious to Nick's approach.

"Who the hell are you?" Abruptly, Nick stopped right in front of him and demanded an answer.

Seeing a strange man look at him so sullenly, Jordan Li took a step back.

Sensing a strong vibe of hostility, he put himself on alert.

"Who… Who are you?" Jordan Li asked.
