The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1695

Last night, Holley had wanted to support Black and help him get to sleep in the bedroom, but he was too drunk, so she was unable to move him. She had no choice but to help change his clothes and let him sleep in the living room all night.

Black didn't care where he was sleeping though. He knew that Holley cared about him, which was enough for him.

"Holley, will you marry me?" Black suddenly got up and walked over to Holley, asking her this without another thought.

Holley was surprised to hear what Black had asked her. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. Her heart pounded like a drum and she was left speechless.

"Holley, I'm serious. So, will you marry me?" Black saw that Holley remained silent and thought that she didn't believe him, so he repeated his question.

"Let's just have breakfast now," Holley said, brushing Black's hand off her shoulder.

Black saw Holley's reaction and thought that she was not willing to marry him. Then he walked to the dining room table in low spirits. Although he had breakfast as she told him, he bowed his head the whole time, like a deflated ball.

Why was Holley unwilling to marry him? If she could marry Black, she would have everything, and he loved her so much. She didn't have any reason to refuse him.

Ferry frightened her, though. She didn't want to live with the threat of him looming over her, so she couldn't dare agree to marry Black.

When they had almost finished eating, Holley noticed Black's depressed expression and then coughed. "After I handle everything that's troubling me, I will consider marrying you."

"Holley, are you serious?" Black sat straight up all of a sudden and looked at Holley in surprise.

Holley had just said that casually, but Black took it seriously. It appeared that he was satisfied with even such a vague answer if it meant there was a chance.

"Hmm." Holley hesitated for a moment before she looked at him and nodded.

"Holley, I will wait for you..." Black mumbled.

In fact, Black hadn't forgotten what had happened in the bar that night, but he didn't dare to ask her to explain. He was afraid that if he asked, Holley would leave him, so he would rather pretend as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, I'm done eating. I'm going to work, but you should continue to rest a bit before going out." After saying that, Holley got up and prepared to leave.

Black walked over to her and held her in his arms. "Holley, do you know how much I love you?"

Hearing Black express his love for her, Holley suddenly couldn't bear to hurt him again.

"I'm going to work now." Holley couldn't avoid it so she had to force a smile. Then, she walked around Black and left.

After Black saw Holley off, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He looked at the door helplessly and sighed to himself.

Back at Dream Garden, Charles was in a bad mood.

Charles wanted to delay the divorce. Even when he had received the layer's letter, he pretended not to have received it. He couldn't escape what would eventually happen, though. The court had informed him that he had to come today.

The case regarded his and Sheryl's divorce, so it was mandatory for him to go.

Early in the morning, Charles got the news and felt depressed. He sat on the couch in a rage and remained silent as he was deep in thought.

"Charles, Sheryl has gone too far. You have to go to court now. Don't make her complacent." Melissa noticed Charles' expression and couldn't stop herself from weighing in on the situation. She started to talk endlessly after that.
