The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1450

"There is no need for that. Thank you," said Cassie. She figured that the receptionist had called only because Jordan had asked her to do so before leaving.

"All right, then. If you need anything, please tell us," said the receptionist.

"I will. Thank you,"

Cassie said and hung up. She felt something strange in her heart.

'Jordan does actually care about me. He really means it. Nick and I are pretty much done. Will it be hard on me if I start a new relationship right away?' Cassie thought to herself.

In Dream Garden

Melissa was having her morning tea and relaxing in the garden. She wanted to go to the beauty salon with some of her friends, but she didn't expect that Leila would pester her with calls so early in the morning.

She was annoyed. 'I don't know why she is calling me this time, but I know it's nothing good. I thought we had an agreement that we shouldn't be contacting each other since she left the Lu family. But she just doesn't learn, ' Melissa thought to herself angrily.

She set her phone in silent mode and placed it on the table. She decided to ignore all the calls, so that Leila would understand and stop bothering her.

It was funny how sometimes people change their attitude overnight. Melissa used to adore Leila. She wanted to give the best of everything to Leila and Melissa just hated to see her get hurt.

But now, all that was gone. The fondness had disappeared. It was as if she never cared about Leila at all. She even treated Leila worse than how she treated strangers.

Her heart had changed so quickly.

Maybe it was just that Melissa never really loved anyone but herself from the beginning. She was nice to Leila only to satisfy her own desires and to meet her own goals.

Hence, the fondness that had come in like a tidal wave, had disappeared as fast as it had come.

Finally, after a while, Melissa's phone stopped vibrating. It was a relief because she thought that she didn't have to deal with Leila anymore. However, her phone screen lit up with a message notification.

The text message was from Leila. "Aunt Melissa, I'm at the end of my rope. I have nowhere to go. I'm asking for your help because I'm desperate. Please come and see me once. If you think that our friendship is not worthy anymore, then I won't attach any importance to our friendship either. I might just end up telling Charles and Sheryl some of the things that you have done. And I will tell them everything honestly and in detail."

As soon as Melissa finished reading that text, a second one arrived.

"Looking forward to hearing from you. I hope you won't disappoint me or I will disappoint you."

Melissa was surprised at first, and then frightened. If Leila revealed all her secrets to Charles, he would be pissed.

'The last time I fell into the trap set by that bitch, Charles was so angry. After that incident, my life has become worse than before. I feel isolated at home, and Charles remains distant. Not to mention, he cut down my allowance. When I go out with my friends, I don't feel like I'm the rich one anymore.

If she tells Charles about those things, this time, he might kick me out of the house!' Melissa thought in a panic.
