The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1595

To prevent Sheryl from leaving, Ferry grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into his chest as if they were dancing.

Being handled that way made her uncomfortable, so she tried the best she could to escape Ferry's grip. But the harder she struggled, the tighter and closer Ferry held her. Their interactions looked rather ambiguous in public. People who happened to pass by cast them a strange look and assumed that they were a couple.

Another surprising occurrence Sheryl didn't expect was for Leila to happen to wander in the same shopping mall that very moment!

The seemingly intimate scene between Sheryl and Ferry unfolded in front of her. Leila found it hard to believe what was right before her eyes. At first, she almost doubted her own eyesight and denied what she saw.

Because of disbelief, she rubbed her eyes before casting them another glance. She looked closely because she wanted to make sure that the woman was none other than her enemy, Sheryl. When she realized that the woman was in fact her rival to Charles' heart, she sneered and her lips curved into a complacent smile.

'Sheryl? Isn't that woman Sheryl?'

Leila wondered in silence as her brows furrowed in curiosity.

Only she could see was the man's back, but she was sure he was not Charles. She simply took it to mean that Sheryl had already found a new lover behind Charles' back. Always regarding Sheryl as her rival, Leila had never given up on collecting Sheryl's stains to ruin her reputation. Now, seeing the couple before her very eyes was a rare opportunity that she couldn't miss. She watched the two closely, waiting to see how it would develop and end.

From a distance, Leila could see clearly how the moment unfolded, yet she couldn't hear what the two were talking about.

She was ready to bring Sheryl down and it didn't take her too long to craft the best plan. She took out her phone from her pocket and intended to take pictures as evidence to take advantage of one day.

Locked in Ferry's aggressive grip, Sheryl didn't surrender. She kept struggling, spending all her energy just to pull back her hand. But Ferry was as strong as a bull and she was unable to gain control of herself.

"What the hell do you want? Let me go!" Sheryl roared in frustration as she looked around, embarrassed. She dreaded that someone familiar would witness the incident and spread rumors about her. She couldn't afford any scandal now, as she was already facing too much stress in her pending divorce.

Luckily, there were only a few people around and they barely stopped by to even bother about what was happening.

"Take it easy! Don't be so fazed. About what I want to do to you, don't you have a clue?" Ferry taunted as he raised his eyebrows, displaying his annoying smirk.

Noticing Ferry's sudden carelessness, Sheryl quickly slid her hand away to escape. She then snapped angrily, "You are a person of no credibility! You promised that you would stay away from me!"

Ferry spread out his hands and shrugged, replying angrily, "So are you! You are a woman unworthy of trust. How can you demand me to be reliable?" Feeling embarrassed in public because of this unrequited declaration of sweetness, Ferry paused and gauged Sheryl's expression. When he didn't get any response from her, he continued, pointing out his main concern, "You promised to divorce Charles! But you didn't!"

At that point, Sheryl knew she was at the losing end. The deal was based on her promise. Now that she didn't keep her word of divorcing Charles, Ferry had reason to ignore what he had promised in the deal.

But Sheryl didn't intend to break the deal. In fact, she had vigorously demanded a divorce from Charles. But when it came to the custody of the children, the couple failed to reach an agreement. Sheryl didn't want to lose custody of the children, and neither did Charles. As a result, the standoff threw their divorce into a long, slow, and indeed tiresome process.

"Charles didn't agree to divorce me in the end. What do you expect me to do to change his mind?" Sheryl's patience ran out and she lost her temper at Ferry.

Ferry wasn't affected by Sheryl's violent reaction at all. He had barged in on her shopping spree just to annoy her. As calm as possible, Ferry looked at Sheryl silently and observed her demeanor. He circled around her and suddenly blurted out, "Fine! You can choose not to divorce Charles!"

Upon hearing his words, Sheryl couldn't hide the hope in her eyes. Clearly, she felt safer that Ferry had now acknowledged his defeat in not having her divorced. As Sheryl waited for his next words, Ferry let out a soft smirk, ready to haggle her once more, "But you have to accept my one condition!"

"What is it?" Sheryl couldn't wait to hear Ferry out, even though she was still worried of what was on his mind.

Ferry gave her another half-smile and said slowly in an attempt to sound seductive, "Become my lover! Then you don't have to divorce Charles!"

"In your dreams!" Sheryl exclaimed with rage, about to throw a fit. In an instant, she refused Ferry's ridiculous request.

When Ferry had stated that he would offer her another option, Sheryl felt hopeful for she thought that there was no other request that could be more difficult than breaking her marriage with Charles. However, such entitlement irked Sheryl the most. She didn't expect Ferry to be so shameless. The alternative he offered was no better, rather, it was worse than the former one!

Wrath rose from the bottom of her heart. Anger boiled over so quickly that it filled her chest. Looking at Sheryl's livid face, Ferry was even more delighted. He said without compromise, "I leave you three days to think it through. Be my lover or divorce Charles immediately! Or else…"

His statement was unfinished, but his intention was already clear to Sheryl. Speechless and restless, she lowered her head and sank into contemplation.

Seeing how Sheryl struggled to make sense of his offer, Ferry patted her on the shoulder and said again, "Take into account what I have told you! In my view, it is not bad at all for you to become my lover, is it?" While Sheryl was still drowned in confusion, Ferry ran his fingers over Sheryl's soft jaw and lifted her face. With a lustful stare, he sized up Sheryl in a rather rude manner. The way he manipulated Sheryl, it seemed like she was a puppet under his spell.

Finally done with his business of trapping Sheryl in the palm of his hand, Ferry decided to step away and leave her alone.

Hiding in plain sight, Leila watched Ferry's back until his figure disappeared into the distance. She then turned her focus onto Sheryl who was now staring blankly at nothing, probably overwhelmed. Sheryl's discomfort brought an evil feeling of joy in Leila. Tucking her phone away, in which she had captured enough evidence she needed to ruin Sheryl, she decided to leave. It was not necessary for her to stay here any longer.
