The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1694

Holley had been thinking of leaving for a long time. So, she surely wouldn't say anything more to Rex.

The moment Rex finished speaking to her, she quickly rushed out of the mansion.

After Holley left, Rex made a call. A while ago he still seemed deeply worried, but after the call, he seemed to be much more relaxed.

In the meantime, Holley was having a hard time. When she left the mansion located in the suburbs, she hailed a taxi in an attempt to go home. In the cab, she kept looking back, afraid that Rex would have someone follow her. She was also worried that Ferry would appear again.

Holley knew that there was no turning back now. If Rex didn't trust her, or if he spoke to Ferry, she would be dead. She'd had no other choice, though. The most important thing right now was to save herself from the immediate trouble she was in.

Thinking about that, she was so scared that she started to sob. The taxi driver noticed that his passenger in the backseat was crying, by glancing in the mirror.

"Hey kid, did you just have a breakup?" he asked sympathetically. He was eager to offer some advice to the sad girl, who seemed to be fairly young. He believed that his life experience might be helpful to her.

"No!" Wiping the tears off of her face, Holley looked out the window. She had no intention of sharing her feelings; nor did she want to show her ugly side to a total stranger.

"Girl, let me tell you something. You're quite good-looking, so don't get too involved in relationships yet. There're a lot of things in life that are worth exploring. If you fail in a relationship, that doesn't mean that you've failed in your life!" The taxi driver couldn't help offering more advice to the sorrowful girl.

"Excuse me, do I know you? Why are you judging me? Can't you just focus on driving?" Holley raged at the driver.

'Even a total stranger is shaking his finger at me! What the fuck?!' she angrily roared in her heart. The driver was stunned for a moment and gave up on saying anything more.

Suddenly, the air in the cab became so tense that it was almost suffocating.

Holley heaved a long sigh and turned to look out the window again.

Before long, the taxi finally arrived at her home. She quickly made her payment and got out of the taxi.

Holley started walking down the street to her house when, just a few meters away, she saw Black.

Black was sitting on a bench, looking at the ground.

Inhaling deeply, Holley slowly walked up to him.

He had his head hung low, so he didn't notice Holley. It was only when a pair of long legs appeared in his vision that he raised his head.

All of a sudden, he sprang forward to her and wrapped her up in his arms, murmuring, "Holley, you're back! Where have you been?"

Black's body was covered in the smell of alcohol. It was evident that he was already drunk. Even in such a delirious state, he could still recognize her though. Since Holley didn't speak, he continued, "I don't care where you've been or where you're going. I'll always find you. You're mine..."

Black was smiling like a child as he gently kissed her forehead, and said, "I swear that I'll take care of you. I'll love you. Please, don't leave me!"

When he said that, he looked like he was going to cry. A myriad of feelings were running through Holley's heart and she fell into deep thoughts.

When she first got close to this man, she had her own agenda. She wanted to make use of him to reach her own goals. After all, the man had a strong family background. However, as time went by, she started to have true feelings for him.

If she had to find someone to blame, she could only blame Black. He had loved her whole-heartedly no matter what. She could feel his sincere love for her, and couldn't help falling love with him. At that very moment, she suddenly realized something.

'I can't be so selfish, and I can't allow Black to risk his life for me anymore. There's no way that there's going to be a happy ending between him and me. If we continue in this way, he'll definitely suffer!' she thought to herself.

She didn't want to hurt Black. Eyes turning red, she quickly came up with a way forward.
