The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1370

Leila was so moved by Charles' concern for her. Meanwhile, she felt guilty. On the other hand, he regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye, but she had put Shirley in danger. On the other hand, Jim had raped her, and she thought it was a kind of betrayal of Charles

It made her hate Jim more.

"Charles, I'm fine. Thank you!" Leila said sweetly, batting her eyes at him in appreciation. Charles, however, was already sick of her affections.

"Good. You should take some rest now. You got bags under your eyes." Leila wanted to slap herself. She knew she should have spent more time on her makeup that morning.

"Ah, really? I never noticed," she said, trying to laugh it off.

"Anyway, you're looking a little tired, too. You should pay more attention to your health first. Shirley wouldn't want you like this."

Charles' face darkened after he heard her say that. Leila, noticing the sudden change in his demeanor, felt distressed.

Charles merely nodded, but disregarded the comment anyway. He grabbed a quick bite before leaving for work. Leila's heart hurt for him.

Charles' concern for her made her feel guilty. He was very upset because of Shirley's disappearance. This only made Leila's hatred for Jim worsen.

'I should kill that bastard!' Leila thought angrily before suddenly figuring out a new idea.

It was a long shot, but it could be the only way. She tried to calm herself down, but only felt her anxiety rushing in quickly. She took a few deep breaths before she fished out her phone from her pocket and looked for Jim's phone number, the same one he had called her the day before.

Her palms were sweating as she waited for Jim to answer the phone. Each ring that went unanswered sent a shiver down her spine as her heart beat faster. The run-down, dirty cabin room was never lost in her thoughts. She could feel her stomach churn from her anxiety.

Finally, Jim picked up the phone. "Leila," he said huskily and it almost sounded like a whisper. "It has only been a few hours. Are you missing me again?" he said teasingly. He didn't think that Leila would willingly come to him considering that she hated him.

Jim had never expected that Leila would have called him. Even more, it was just a few hours after they separated. He wondered if Leila was beginning to like being forced to have sex with him.

Jim thought of himself proudly. However, it only made him despise Leila more. Ill-behaved men never valued an "easy catch" anyway.

What Jim said disgusted Leila. 'He thinks I miss him? What an asshole!' Leila thought, infuriated.

"You're right. I do miss you. Are you free today? I want to see you again." Although Jim disgusted her so much, she had to admit that she needed him. She also knew it was better to treat him nicer, and if she acted bad, it would just provoke him more.

"Oh, of course. I'll always have time for you," Jim said seductively, breathing against the phone.

Leila laughed quickly, saying, "I'll meet you at the Aegean Hotel later at eight. Is that all right?"
