The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1803

Charles' hand stopped midair, but after a while, he regained his composure and continued applying the ice. With some difficulty, he managed to ignore Leila. His calm reaction made Leila doubt whether he had heard the noise.

'Or could it be that he doesn't care about me at all?' Leila wondered. This thought put her in a further fury.

In Isla's residence, she was sitting on the couch, lost in thought.

She was so lost in her own world that she didn't take any notice of the kids and Aron.

After putting the kids to sleep, Aron came back to the living room and sat next to Isla. He held her in his arms and asked gently, "What's wrong with you? Are you still thinking of Sheryl?"

"Yes, I was wondering if she met Charles or not. Do you think I should call her?" Isla bit her lip and looked at Aron hesitantly.

Aron saw that Isla had even lost her appetite because of this issue. Now he wanted this situation to be sorted out as soon as possible. Hence, he nodded in approval. "Hmm. I think you should call and ask."

"Okay."

Hearing Aron's answer, Isla got the confidence to call. Without hesitation, she took out her cellphone and dialed Sheryl's number.

In the ship, Twilight, Sheryl was walking, oblivious of what was waiting for her.

She didn't even have the slightest idea about what was about to happen to her. Her life, which was already depressing, was about to get another knock. Right before she was going to enter the main cabin, her cellphone rang again.

She hesitated for a while but smiled on seeing that it was a call from Isla. She picked up the phone in an instant and said angrily, "Isla Zhao, did you prepare this evening dress for me in order to embarrass me?"

"How could it embarrass you? I was hoping that great dress would bring you some luck in finding a gentleman." Hearing Sheryl's happy tone, Isla was relieved. Now she was certain that her friend was having a good time.

Feigning anger, Sheryl said, "Stop joking around. I am aware you did it on purpose."

Although they were talking on the phone, Sheryl knew that Isla would understand she wasn't actually angry.

"Alright, I did it on purpose. Now, what are you going to do to me?"

Isla knew that Sheryl wouldn't be mad at her, so she didn't care to apologize. Instead, she retorted to irritate her.

Hearing that Isla didn't think she was wrong, Sheryl laughed helplessly.

In fact, in any argument with Isla, Sheryl would always be defeated. 'There is no winning with Isla, ' Sheryl thought and smiled to herself. Without any choice, Sheryl had to let go of this subject.

"Well, you win. So Ms. Isla Zhao, may I know the reason behind your call?" Sheryl didn't want to stretch the conversation, so she got straight to the point.

"I am concerned about you. I just wanted to know if you were having a good time."

Isla's tone was anxious. Listening to it, Sheryl was confused. 'Why was she acting like this? This is so unlike her, ' she thought.

"I am not here for fun, remember this is for work. But I have met Jeff Zhang. Did he give the ticket to you?" Sheryl suddenly thought of Jeff and mentioned him.
