The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1715

"Leila, eat something. You have been so busy these days." Breaking the silence, Melissa passed Leila some food.

During dinner, the trio ate silently. Charles was in a bad mood, and the others wouldn't say anything to avoid annoying him any further.

Soon, Charles finished eating and then immediately went upstairs.

Wanting to follow, Leila stood up, but Melissa stopped her.

Melissa shook her head at Leila. After hearing Charles' bedroom door close, she grabbed Leila's arm and headed to the garden.

The two stood in the garden, and Melissa looked at Leila inquisitively.

The look on Melissa's face made Leila nervous. She took a deep breath and asked, "Aunt Melissa, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask you: Did something happen between the two of you later that night?" Melissa stared at Leila meaningfully.

There was knowing in Melissa's smile, and it made Leila feel more abashed. She held Melissa's arm a little bit tightly, and answered, "Aunt Melissa, your question is so embarrassing."

"Why are you so shy? It is normal for a man and a woman. Just tell me. Yes or no?!" Also feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement, Melissa grabbed Leila's hands.

Seeing that Melissa was so persistent, Leila shook her head helplessly.

"It doesn't matter. You will have chances in the future. Does Charles treat you better than before?" still insistent, Melissa continued questioning.

Sighing after a while, Leila nodded. "Aunt Melissa, I know you are nice to me, but as long as Sheryl is still a member of this family, I think it will be hard for me to get Charles' acceptance."

"Leila, don't worry. After that night, Sheryl refused to see Charles. And, I talk about the divorce with him every day. I guarantee you, it will end one of these days." Afraid that Leila would give up now, Melissa hurriedly explained.

Hearing Melissa's assurance, Leila nodded.

After the discussion, the two felt much better.

Meanwhile, someone on the second floor was unhappy. At that moment, Charles was staring at Sheryl's picture. Seeing Sheryl's bright smile, he smiled bitterly.

Believing that he always had great self-control, Charles was confused. He didn't know what had been wrong with him that night. He was so sure that he would never be close to Leila, but something happened again.

Charles would never really know how Sheryl felt when she saw them, but one thing was clear to him. He broke her heart.

After that incident, Charles never saw Sheryl again. No matter what he did, she successfully avoided seeing him. If he didn't know Cloud Advertising Company was still operating as usual, he would have thought that Sheryl had already left this city.

He had never felt so sorrowful and guilty until that moment.

For now, he was unable to face two women at the same time. The first one he couldn't see. The second one he didn't want to see.

"Tap-tap!" There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Charles knew that Nancy wouldn't disturb him at this time, and it left him with two choices. So he frowned and asked unhappily.

"Charles, Aunt Melissa prepared fruits for you."

"I just had dinner, so I am not hungry." When he heard it was Leila, his tone got cold.
