The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1337

Noticing that Leila was on her side, Melissa became more impolite. She purposely knocked two dishes that were on the counter cooked by Sheryl. Clink! Clank! Upon hitting the floor, the platters broke into pieces, sounding like a strident alarm which made everyone in the living room feel nervous.

The dishes together with the shattered platters were scattered on the floor in a mess. Though the food looked rather sumptuous, and they looked fine and delicate just now, but they were mixed up on the floor, making people who set their eyes upon them lost their appetite.

"Sheryl, are you sure your dishes are not prepared for pigs? Cook for me again!" With a scolded expression on her face, Melissa commanded Sheryl carelessly and rolled her eyes at her.

Upon hearing this, Sheryl just frowned instead of hasting her way to do what she had just ordered her to do. Then she took her time and continued eating as if nothing had happened. It seemed that Melissa's words didn't work with her at all.

Seeing her reaction, Melissa had never expected that Sheryl would totally ignore her. She was completely irritated, and Sheryl hadn't noticed that she was having a hard time breathing.

Upon seeing Melissa's chest fluctuating violently, Leila stood up in haste and walked over to pat her back, trying to help her calm down. 'Sheryl looks sarcastic today. Why doesn't she just leave after being scolded by Melissa? Does she have any other intentions?' Leila frowned and thought in her mind.

Knowing her, Melissa believed Sheryl just embarrassed her on purpose. She wouldn't let that happen, and to gain her face back, she stared at Sheryl angrily and continued, "Sheryl, can't you hear me? Are you deaf?"

Echoing across the room, Melissa's voice was harsh in the open living room.

Still being relaxed, Sheryl answered without raising her head, "I heard you. So what?" From the way she answered her question, both Melissa and Leila could tell that she was out of patience.

Being discredited again, Melissa rushed to Sheryl and shoved the plate where she was eating. The plate went to the floor along with the food and condiments, shattered and scattered.

By doing that, she believed she could displease Sheryl this time. It was hard for anyone to stay cool on such an occasion. Once Sheryl blamed her with all the mess, she could confidently tattle on her to Charles, and he would definitely flush her out.

Upon hearing the sound of the plate being smashed, Nancy rushed out and pulled Sheryl behind her.

Looking at Nancy who stood before to protect her, Sheryl felt warm deep in her heart. 'Alas, there is someone who treats me well in this house.'

Noticing that Nancy was about to retort Melissa, Sheryl tugged on her clothes from behind to hint her that she was okay and there was nothing to worry about.

Used to all her maltreatments, Sheryl still didn't bother about Melissa seriously. She walked to the kitchen without saying a word, filling another plate with rice and some viands by the counter and returned to the table.

As she was about to sit and eat as if nothing had happened, Melissa suddenly swung her arm wide and slapped her across the face. The slap was so harsh that Sheryl's face became red and started swelling immediately.

Even Leila, who stood beside Melissa, didn't expect that. In her mind, she thought that something worse was about to happen after the harsh slap.

'She has lost her patience. She will displease Charles after leaving such an obvious bruise on her face. Sheryl can also gain Charles' sympathy with this bruise. Clever as she is, she will not let this chance go, ' Leila thought anxiously.
