The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2016

"Do you think that I don't know what you have done? Of course, I know about what you did! I have been to the villa in bustling downtown." Melissa sat down and looked at Charles with disdain. She knew she was guilty but was reluctant to apologize.

Melissa looked down on Vicky because Vicky was not as excellent as Sheryl. Even if Charles was being threatened, he would never have chosen a woman like Vicky. She was so angry with Charles for ruining everyone's lives.

"Mom, could you please not worry about these things?" Charles didn't know what to say upon hearing that Melissa had been to the villa. He couldn't hide anything from her anymore.

"Fine! I can let you deal with it. But what have you done so far? Tell me, what exactly! You have done absolutely nothing, my son! Honestly, do you think that if you marry Vicky, you won't care about anybody else?" Melissa was so angry that she cursed at her own son.

"Mom. I have told you that I will never marry Vicky! Why don't you believe me?" Charles took a deep breath to regain his composure. He couldn't understand why Melissa was so upset.

Melissa couldn't control herself because she truly didn't believe Charles' words. She walked towards him, pointed at him, and shouted, "I believed you before. But now I see nothing has changed. Since you now even hate me. Will you not allow me to go to the villa?"

Melissa specifically aimed to say these words because she wanted to make Charles feel guilty.

"Okay. Whatever! You can do what you want to do. I don't care anymore." As soon as Charles stopped talking, he went upstairs. He didn't want to argue with his mother.

Melissa stood up at once to go after him, but David stopped her.

David shook his head and said, "Mrs. Lu, please believe Charles. He is dealing with it. Don't worry."

Melissa saw David's sincere expression and felt annoyed. She didn't say anything further and just watched Charles go upstairs.

After the argument, Dream Garden became silent. Nobody spoke anymore.

At the Cloud Advertising Company

Sheryl and Isla had just finished a meeting and were going home. When they went downstairs, they saw Phoebe.

"Hey, Phoebe! How are you? What are your plans tonight? Having a date with your boyfriend?" Isla said playfully.

As soon as Josef heard what Isla had said, he shook his head helplessly and replied with a smile, "Isla, please don't make a joke like that. You know Phoebe is shy."

"What? I am serious. I'm not joking!"

Until Josef had become Phoebe's boyfriend, Isla hadn't thought highly of him. Once they became a couple, Isla realized Josef was very gentle and took good care of Phoebe.

"Ms. Xia, please help me. Mrs. Zhao always makes jokes at my expense," Phoebe said, shaking Sheryl's arm.

However, she hadn't expected that Sheryl wouldn't support her. Sheryl pretended to push her away and said with a playful smile, "Oh, what she said is right. I think that you are showing off your affection."

"Ms. Xia! Even you are making jokes now." Phoebe was so shy that her face quickly turned red.

Josef looked at her as he stood beside her. He couldn't help but also smile.

"Ha-ha, Sher, look at Phoebe. She is so shy," Isla said out loud on purpose.

Other coworkers overheard what Isla was saying and gathered around them. At that time, Phoebe's face was still red. The other coworkers also started teasing Phoebe and asked, "What's wrong with you, Phoebe? Why is your face red?"

"Is he your boyfriend?" "He's so handsome!"

Everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves.
