The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1437

Charles did his best to comfort Sheryl. "It's okay, Sher. It's all over now. Stop thinking about it. What you need right now is rest. Lillian's dead and Leila isn't staying with us anymore. You're home now and we can live our lives peacefully from now on."

This eased Sheryl's worries. She gathered herself and said, "You're right, Charles. Lillian's gone now. She has paid for her actions and I don't have to worry about anything anymore."

"Let's go home first. Clark and Shirley are waiting for us at home."

Sheryl couldn't help but smile when she thought about Clark and Shirley. And she couldn't wait to rush back home now.

Charles felt relieved when he saw the smile on Sheryl's face. They left the police station and got into their car.

Charles drove Sheryl to the Dream Garden and

parked the car in the garage. Hearing the car engine, Clark and Shirley rushed to the door, hand in hand, to welcome Charles and Sheryl. They jumped into Sheryl's arms, grinning from ear to ear. Sheryl held their hands and walked inside.

"Mom, you're finally home! I missed you," Shirley said cheerfully.

Clark nodded his head repeatedly as if affirming what Shirley had said.

Sheryl and Charles burst into laughter.

"Did you two miss me?" Sheryl squatted to her knees so that she could look into their eyes.

"Yes!"

"We missed you so much!"

Clark and Shirley answered immediately.

"Mom, I miss you so much. I miss you this much." Shirley drew a big circle in the air.

"Mom, I miss you too. I couldn't even eat when you were gone." Clark wasn't always like this. He used to shy away from expressing his emotions but here he was openly declaring what he was feeling.

"That's not cool, Clark. No matter what happens, we should always eat properly so we'll grow up big and strong!"

Clark and Shirley nodded their heads obediently. Sheryl's heart melted, overwhelmed by love and affection for her kids.

Sheryl felt like the luckiest woman in the world with her thoughtful husband and her lovely children. Leila wasn't here anymore so Sheryl was beyond elated. She was grinning from ear to ear.
