The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1456

"It's good that you didn't tell her." Jordan heaved a deep sigh of relief. He was worried that his troublesome sister had spoiled his plans. If she had talked to Cassie about her encounter with Lily and Nick at his apartment, his plan would have been completely ruined.

After all, according to Cassie, no one other than the three of them knew what exactly had happened in that room that day. He was not there, so it wouldn't make sense if he knew all the details.

"I have some doubts too. Did you send anyone to stalk Nick? If not, how would you know all this?" Cora asked curiously.

Jordan had an answer ready for that question. He remained calm and replied, "I wasn't stalking Nick. But I did send someone to secretly protect Cassie since that accident. I didn't think I would find Nick with another woman in the process. I would say it was sheer luck."

"Oh, I see." Cora looked at Jordan, her eyes full of admiration. "You are such a gentleman. If I were lucky enough to meet a man like you who would treat me so sincerely, I will be the happiest woman in the world. You are so good to Cassie."

Jordan gave her a wide smile and said, "One day, you will meet someone who cherishes and loves you more than anyone else."

"I hope so. By the way, why didn't you want to invite Cassie to lunch?" Cora thought it was a good opportunity for Jordan to make his move to solidify his relationship with Cassie. But Jordan defied her expectations. Why wouldn't he act now? There was an old saying which said, "Strike while the iron is still hot." But Jordan was taking his time. Wasn't this the best time to comfort Cassie and be by her side?

Despite that, Jordan had specifically asked her not to invite Cassie for lunch and had made her keep the information she had about Nick a secret.

Jordan replied, "You really don't understand how women think."

"That's ridiculous! I am a woman too. Are you saying you understand women better than I do? Impossible!" Cora said with a pout.

"I bet you really don't understand. You're a woman, but you have never been in a relationship. When you get a boyfriend, you will understand what I'm talking about. Now, let's go for lunch." Jordan wasn't interested in continuing the conversation regarding Cassie.

And without a doubt, food was a more attractive topic to Cora than anything else.

At the pedestrian street

Ms. Bai walked into Leila's shop again. She came right when Leila wasn't too busy.

"How's business?"

"Hi! Welcome back. It's not bad. Come on in, take a seat." Leila gently held Ms. Bai's hand and led her to a table. She ran back to get her a glass of water.

After all, Ms. Bai was not only a friend to her, but also a steady customer. Leila was happy to see her and also treated her with respect.

"Please have some water," Leila said, handing the glass to Ms. Bai.

"You don't have to be so polite to me. This is not my first time here, and it wouldn't be the last either. So, treat me like a friend, not a customer," Ms. Bai said with a smile. "Go ahead and deal with the other customers. I was just passing this way and stopped by to see how things are going with you. That's all."

Before leaving, Ms. Bai bought some stuff from Leila's shop. Leila couldn't suppress her excitement. But soon after Ms. Bai left, Leila felt depressed. She envied Ms. Bai, who had such a huge fortune; whatever she wanted to buy was within her grasp. There was no question of whether she could afford something or not; anything she wished, she could have.
