The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1549

As an adult, Charles knew what had happened, of course. But the situation was so ridiculous that he was dumbfounded. Then he suddenly realized that he must explain to Sheryl. But when he looked up and met Sheryl's sad and accusing eyes, he couldn't utter a word. He didn't even know where to start.

The hangover gave him a splitting headache. He raised his palm and pressed it to his forehead to relieve the pain. In the meanwhile, Sheryl took the chance and left at once.

Sheryl couldn't tolerate standing there watching her beloved husband lying naked with another woman in their bed. At one moment she even had the urge to stab him to death.

Sheryl didn't know how she ran out of the bedroom. By the time Sheryl reached the guest room, her knees had gone weak. Her legs trembled and she dropped to the floor. She felt as if all her energy had left her body, transforming it into a heavy heap of numbness that she was unable to lift all by herself.

In the bedroom, Charles had already recovered from the shock. At that moment, he realized that Sheryl had already left. He closed his eyes painfully. Knowing that he shouldn't have let her leave, Charles sprang out of bed, ready to chase her. However, at that very moment, Leila woke up. In fact, she had been awake all the time, but she kept her eyes closed. She was waiting for the right opportunity to stop Charles. Suddenly, she grasped Charles' arm and stopped him from leaving. As a result, both of them tumbled to the bed once again.

"Charles, I won't let you go! You can't leave me like this," Leila muttered.

Charles flared up all of a sudden. She was responsible for everything! Charles shook off Leila's grasp and glared at her with bloodthirsty eyes, snapping, "Why are you here?"

This was the question Leila waited for. She was ready with the reply. She had already made up a perfect story for that.

As soon as Charles asked that, Leila shed tears like a real actress. She started to choke with sobs as she looked at Charles feigning an absolutely wounded and battered expression.

"Last night you were really drunk! I went downstairs to get some water, but I saw you stagger into the living room, unable to stand still, so I came to help you. But you..."

Leila continued to weep profusely pretending that she couldn't continue. She took a look at Charles and found that he didn't mean to stop her even though he was very angry. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she gulped once and continued, "You lifted me in your arms, took me to your room, and then..."

Leila stopped there. As a woman, she couldn't continue describing how she was raped by a man. It was so shameful! She started crying hysterically and buried her face in her palms. Charles' face went sullen. He glared at her as if he would wring her neck. Leila didn't dare say anything now.

After a while, she heaved a deep breath. There was awkward silence in the room. Leila peeked at Charles' face and noticed that he was in deep thought. 'Will he just kill me once and for all?' she couldn't help wondering.

"Charles, why don't you say anything?" Leila mustered up her courage and asked. She knew that it was a bold provocation.

"Get out!" Charles shouted at her. His thunderous voice almost knocked Leila to the floor again.

She didn't dare to stay there one more minute and jumped off the bed. However, she suddenly realized that she was absolutely naked. She must dress herself, at least. When she came over to the bed again, someone appeared in the doorway all of a sudden. It was none other than Melissa.

"Aargh! You...Jesus! What happened?" Melissa exclaimed as she pointed at Charles and Leila, looking utterly shocked. She was part of the game and was just pretending.

The situation became even more embarrassing for all of them. When Leila saw Melissa, she blushed and covered her body with the clothes. She pretended to be ashamed.

However, she was overjoyed at the moment. Melissa had such a good timing. This was what they wanted to achieve. Everything just fell into place so well.

It was beyond Leila's expectation. She had never imagined that she would be so lucky this time. She had moved back to the Lu family's house just for one day, and she found such a great opportunity. She found Charles drunk and all alone in the middle of the night. Without this opportunity, she wouldn't have had any chance to sleep with him.

How could she let go of such a great opportunity?
