The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1951

As Sheryl got off the plane, she felt a sense of familiarity. She looked around as the wind brushed against her face. The city looked pretty much the same, except for some overexcited happy faces waiting to welcome her back home.

"Sher..." Isla shrieked out of joy. She was the first to see Sheryl. Her eyes were filled with tears as she flung her arms around Sheryl.

Sheryl was also happy to meet her after such a long time. She took quick steps ahead. They gave each other a big hug.

"Sheryl, thank God you came back, finally. If you didn't come back, I would have gone to Australia to search for you." Isla looked at Sheryl grudgingly and pretended to hit her on her shoulder.

Sheryl was moved to see all her friends who had come to receive her.

"Sher, Isla, please, don't start crying now. Otherwise, I'll not be able to control my tears either." Cassie's eyes were also filled with tears. "Stop crying, okay?" Nick was confused to see all three the women become so emotional and teary-eyed.

Together, they drove Sheryl home to drop her luggage. Then they headed out to have dinner.

In fact, they hadn't had a party like this for a long time.

By the time their dinner came, Isla was so drunk that she began to blame Charles.

Charles didn't speak a word in retaliation. Rather, he just listened to her. It seemed that Charles was ready to take all the blame upon himself.

Sheryl felt uncomfortable. Initially, she was skeptical that Charles would get angry. And if he got into an argument with Isla, there would be a scene in the restaurant. But as she saw that Charles was patiently listening to what Isla was saying, she became assured.

Aron tried to stop Isla. Even he was afraid that they might break into an argument if she continued like this.

"What? I must stop talking? That is impossible. Sher has been wronged by others. And it was all because of Charles. If Ferry hadn't threatened Sheryl and told her that he would kill Charles, Sheryl would never have demanded a divorce. I saw her at that time. She was in so much pain!"

"What are you talking about?" Isla's words came as a whip on Charles' skin. He sat upright and stared at her with a frown.

"You don't know this? Oh! Don't tell me you don't know this! How come? Did you fall from the sky to finally hear this?" Isla was unhappy to see that Charles was oblivious about Ferry's threatening Sheryl. He had collected so much evidence to send Ferry to prison. How come he missed this one?

Charles turned his eyes from Isla to look at Sheryl. He did not speak a word but demanded an explanation from Sheryl regarding this.

Had it not been for Isla, who revealed this information to him, Sheryl would not have told this to him at all.

Sheryl avoided looking at Charles. By her reaction, Charles knew that what Isla had said was true. Yes, Isla was right. He was the one to be blamed.

Charles was repentant. Now, he felt that he had been so stupid because he didn't know that Ferry had threatened Sheryl. He didn't know it until Isla told him.

"Sher, I am so sorry. I am responsible for everything. I am the one to be blamed!" After saying this, Charles could not speak another word. He remained silent and began to drink.

At the end of the dinner, Isla was so drunk that Aron had to drive her home.

After they left, Sheryl and others also decided to go home.

"Sher, I will drive Cassie home." Nick found that since Isla mentioned Ferry, Charles hadn't said a word. He knew that Charles must be having a lot in his mind that he wanted to say to Sheryl. Therefore, he decided to leave and let them talk.

Sheryl came back to the private room after she said goodbye to Nick and Isla. Charles was sitting alone. He was still drinking.

"Stop drinking, Charles. It is time to go home." After Sheryl finished speaking, she took Charles' hand and tried to lead him outside the restaurant.

All of a sudden, Charles hugged Sheryl. He put his head on her shoulder, and his whole body was trembling.
