The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1745

"Sheryl, I can forgive you for lying to me. Won't you reciprocate by forgiving me?" Charles asked Sheryl, looking hopeful.

"Forgive me? For what? What have I done for you to forgive me?" Sheryl stormed at Charles. She was furious and immediately moved away from him.

At that moment, Sheryl was both desperate and speechless. She didn't need Charles' forgiveness because she had never done anything wrong.

'His audacity!' she thought angrily. He had made a grave mistake, but now he was impudent enough to blame her as well.

Shamelessly, he had had sex with Leila, which he had admitted himself once.

Apart from his confession, she had caught them twice. 'So they probably did it a lot!' Sheryl thought in a rage. Moreover, her mind affirmed that they must have had sex during the period when she was away from the Dream Garden. A disgusted expression was now plastered on her face.

Just the mere thought of them together made Sheryl want to break down.

"Charles, I hate you!"

Sheryl said between clenched teeth before she ran away.

She didn't want to spare one more look at him because every time she did, it would remind her of Leila. And once again revulsion would overtake her.

As always, Charles was going to chase her. But he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard what Sheryl had said.

"Get out..." Sheryl suddenly yelled out when she saw Charles was coming towards her. Her pale face was full of tears, which made her look like a corpse climbing from a tomb.

Her reaction left him stunned. Charles noticed her expression was mingled with disgust and sorrow. One glance made him realize how she felt about him.

Now all he could do was watch Sheryl as she disappeared from his sight. He had been through so many difficulties in life, but he always handled them skillfully. Yet, when it came to Sheryl, he could do nothing.

"Charles, are you okay?" Leila asked tenderly as she walked up to Charles, reaching out for his hand.

Seeing the look on his face, Leila sensed something was amiss. She had followed him when she saw him walk downstairs. And just as she had anticipated, Charles had gone to meet Sheryl.

Moreover, Leila knew clearly that only Sheryl was capable of inflicting such pain to Charles' heart.

However, today, Leila was happy. Sheryl and Charles's meeting had ended acrimoniously, which was exactly the result she wanted.

"Go away. Leave me alone," Charles said coldly as he pulled his hand from Leila's grasp. Swiftly, he walked away from her. He seemed to have no patience for her nonsense.

Leila was smart enough to know that Charles was in a terrible mood. And she had no desire to make things worse for him.

Fortunately, before Charles could snap at her, she followed him quietly.

In his anger, Charles didn't pay much heed to the things around him.

Right at this moment, Leila heard the honking of a car. She looked around and noticed a car speeding towards Charles.

But Charles didn't see the car nor hear the horns as he was immersed in his thoughts.

"Charles..."

Leila was extremely nervous. She quickly ran towards Charles and pushed him down onto the curb.

"Ah..."

Leila was thrown onto the ground by the car. It was not a fatal injury, but Leila felt that she was going to break into pieces.

The driver suddenly hit the brakes, to stop any further damage.

Charles finally regained his senses. When he saw Leila lying on the ground, he realized what had happened. So he rushed to her and pulled her into his arms.
