The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1978

Cassie had already discussed it with Nick, and she'd decided she wasn't going to tell Isla about it, fearing that something would happen.

"Don't worry. I won't tell Isla. But you can't be sad about it anymore." Nick knew that anyone who went through this wouldn't be able to just easily forget it.

Cassie knew that Nick just wanted her to be happy. She forced a smile and said, "Do you really think I'm going to do anything? Don't worry. I won't do anything stupid."

"What are you going to do?" Nick asked, partly in fear.

"Ha-ha..." Cassie laughed when she saw how nervous Nick was.

"Don't worry. I'm serious. I won't do anything stupid. I'm not going to fight with Charles. He's already left Sher. Fighting him won't change anything."

Cassie was a smart woman. She knew that she couldn't do anything about Charles and Sheryl, so all she could do was be angry.

"Well, you're right. I was just very worried about you." Nick only relaxed when Cassie assured him she wasn't going to do anything.

"Well, let's go and find Isla. She must be worried about us." Now that Nick wasn't nervous, Cassie urged him to drive faster.

"Okay! I will!" Nick held Cassie's hand in his one hand. He seemed to be relaxed.

They talked and laughed throughout the car ride. Cassie had forgotten all her troubles and was in a good mood now.

Sheryl had invited them to dinner to show her appreciation for all their help. If it hadn't been for them, she wouldn't have known what she would have done as she had gone through quite a difficult time.

Sheryl found an elegant restaurant that Nick and Cassie was sure to like.

She and Isla was already waiting in the restaurant. Isla looked around and sighed. "Why did you choose this restaurant? We're not a couple. All the other people here are couples!"

Isla complained, rolling her eyes.

Sheryl patted Isla's arm as she said, "Fine. I'll choose a better place next time."

"It's too late to transfer to a different restaurant now. We're stuck here all night watching Nick and Cassie's PDA." Isla looked at Sheryl with an envious expression.

Sheryl laughed upon seeing this. She shook her head.

Soon after, Nick and Cassie arrived. As they approached the table, they held each other's hands. Isla rolled her eyes again and pointed at them as she said, "Look, the PDA's already starting!"

"Ha-ha! You were the same way when you were still in love with Aron. You can't blame them," Sheryl said to Isla in a low voice.

When Nick and Cassie had reached their table, Isla suddenly said, "Don't say anything! Just order what you like. Sheryl's footing the bill." After which, she handed them the menu.

Sheryl was generous and easygoing. She didn't say anything even when they ordered something expensive.

They had a good time that night. Sheryl seemed to have forgotten about Charles. However, as soon as Cassie and Nick left, she grew silent.

Isla drove Sheryl home. During the car ride, Isla remained silent too. When they arrived home, Isla asked, "How long can you wait for Charles?"

"What?" All of a sudden, Sheryl's face turned red, and she kept avoiding Isla's gaze.

"Even if you don't say anything to us, I still know that you're just pretending. I know you can't forget about him." Isla looked at Sheryl with a serious expression.

Sheryl knew that Isla was just worried about her. She forced a smile as she held Isla's hand. "Isla, I know you're worried about me, but I have two children. They're my priority."
