The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1554

"Ms. Xia is with the kids on the roof," Phoebe said as she pointed at the roof. Then she bid Isla farewell and continued to do her work.

Then, Isla headed to the roof of the building.

When she got to the roof, Isla didn't hear anything or see anyone. She looked around nervously and saw that Sheryl and the kids were sleeping on the couch.

"Sher?" Isla gently nudged Sheryl and called her name in a low voice, trying to wake her up.

Sheryl suddenly opened her eyes widely. After she realized that she had fallen asleep on the roof because of how tired she was, she felt embarrassed in front of Isla. She got up slowly without disturbing the children and followed Isla silently. When the kids were out of earshot, she asked, "What happened? Have you found an apartment for me?"

Sheryl knew that Isla was a person of great efficiency, so she firmly believed that Isla was capable of finding her a good place in a short amount of time.

"Yes, I did. You know me. I'm great at what I do. When do you want to check the place out?" Isla asked.

Perhaps it was Isla's efficiency that made her want Sheryl to have a look at the apartment as soon as possible.

Sheryl turned back to look at the children, thinking about something. A moment later, she said to Isla, "All right. I'll leave the children to Phoebe, and then we can go and look at the apartment. I'm going to ask Phoebe to come upstairs again, so please watch out for the children until I get back, okay?"

Sheryl went downstairs in a jiffy.

Five minutes later, Sheryl and Phoebe came upstairs together. She asked Phoebe to take care of the kids and then she left the company with Isla.

Isla was in charge of driving the car, while Sheryl sat next to her. In a pensive mood, she looked at the changing scenes outside the car window. She reminisced about the past when Charles would often take her out for a drive.

Slowly, she fell into her own thoughts. 'He liked going out on long drives. He often took me with him. That was long time ago. I thought I would forget about it eventually, but I was wrong. I didn't expect that I would remember it all so clearly. Yes, of course. I won't forget anything about Charles. I won't.'

"Sher, are you all right?" Isla noticed the melancholic mood she was in, so she interrupted Sheryl's thoughts. Isla pulled the car to the side of the road and looked at her nervously.

Sheryl realized that she was distracting Isla with her mood and she felt embarrassed again. "Yes, I'm all right. I just want to see my new apartment right now, as soon as possible."

"Really? You don't seem all right," Isla said. She couldn't believe what Sheryl said because she obviously looked sad. Isla looked at her suspiciously to ensure that she was all right.

"Yes, I am. What could possibly happen to me? I'm fine, and that's all," Sheryl said, definitively. Then, she asked Isla to start the car again.

Isla sped up after she got back on the road, and before long, they arrived at the apartment community in under half an hour. This community was close to Cloud Advertising Company. When Isla was selecting apartments for Sheryl, she looked around the Cloud Advertising Company and chose this apartment because it was so close by.

"Although it's not a very new community, the appliances are brand new. And the security here is also known to be good. I checked on that. It's a very good place," Isla explained as she led Sheryl into the community. Isla was very satisfied with the apartment she chose for Sheryl, so she was pleased and proud of herself when she showed it to Sheryl.

Sheryl laughed when she saw how childish Isla was when she was bragging about herself.

Suddenly, Isla's face turned. She looked at Sheryl seriously and said, "But, there's one thing you have to promise me first. If you don't, then I won't let you buy any apartments."

Sheryl didn't expect Isla to become so serious all of a sudden, so she started to feel confused. She looked at Isla nervously and said, "All right. What do you want me to promise?"

Isla said, "Although I've found the right place for you, we don't know yet if we can buy it or not, not mention when you can move in. So, you have to promise me that you will stay at my place for now while you wait for the apartment to be ready..."

Sheryl interrupted Isla and said, "No, you don't need to do this. I've already told you that I've booked a room at the hotel."

After being interrupted by Sheryl, Isla interrupted Sheryl again. "No, no, no. We don't need to discuss it anymore. Don't worry about the hotel room. I've already cancelled the reservation. So, you have to stay with me today. You can't refuse me!"

After hearing Isla's words, Sheryl couldn't say anything. She knew that she couldn't convince Isla to change her mind, so she could only remain silent. She only hoped that her new apartment would be ready for her to move in as soon as possible.
