The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1466

Charles wanted to rush home. But when he saw the conference room, he hesitated.

It wasn't good for him to leave in the middle of the meeting and the Marketing Department and the Sales Department were fighting. As the president, he was responsible for stopping the fight from escalating.

The kids were just having a moment. Sooner or later, they would calm down. And Clark was considerate and mature enough that Charles believed that he could comfort his little sister.

After giving it some thought, Charles took a deep breath before he walked back to the conference room.

On the highway, Sheryl sped up a little, eager to go back home. She had been out for so long. She wondered how the kids were doing. She couldn't help but worry about her kids even though she had asked Nancy to take good care of them.

Therefore, Sheryl decided not to visit Nick today. She took out her phone and dialed Nick's number again.

Nick answered the phone on the first ring.

"Hello, Sher." Nick's voice was low, which Sheryl noticed. It shocked her. It sounded noisy on the other end of the phone. 'Where is Nick?' Sheryl wondered.

"Nick, where are you? I need to talk to you, face-to-face," she said.

Nick was silent for a bit. A few minutes later, he replied, "Sher, I want to spend some time myself. Can you leave me alone?"

"Where the hell are you? Cheer up, Nick! And please don't hurt yourself. I'm sure things will get better. I've talked to Cassie and I know what happened. Tell me where you are now so that I can explain it to you face-to-face."

Nick paused. He thought about her words for a while before opening his mouth again. "What's the point? Cassie will never trust me again. And I…"

'I will never trust anyone else, ' Nick sighed silently.

What hurt Nick most wasn't the fact that Cassie misunderstood him. It was that Cassie still came to him when she was seeing another man. Why couldn't Cassie just live her peaceful life with her new man? Why would Cassie give him hope?

Nick closed his eyes. He was by the sea, and he could hear the waves crashing against each other and the rocks, lapping over each other, seeming to mock his wishful thinking.

"Sher, I am a little tired. I need some time alone. Bye." Nick was going to hang up.

"Wait!" Sheryl yelled. Her phone was low on battery but she had to tell him that Cassie loved him.

"Sher, what else do you want to say?" Nick sighed.

"Nick, I understand that there is some misunderstanding between you and Cassie. If you two don't fix them, the problems between you two will only become bigger and bigger. And then there will be nothing you can do to save your relationship. It'll be over. Are you sure you want that to happen? You need to do something before it's too late."

"I know…" Nick said.

Sheryl interrupted Nick, "But I don't see you doing anything! Man up, Nick. Where's your responsibility and courage? You really make me…"
