The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2055

Although Damian couldn't understand what she was mumbling, he knew she must be in pain based on the look on her face even though she was very drunk.

The car stopped at the supermarket close to Sheryl's home, and Damian got out from the driver's seat and looked closely at Sheryl, who slept soundly in the back of the car. He studied her for a moment before he walked into the supermarket.

Knowing that Sheryl would get a headache when she woke up, he decided to buy her some hangover medicine.

It only took a few minutes for Damian to walk out with a bag in his hand.

After he placed the things on the front passenger seat, Damian started walking back to the driver's seat when he suddenly paused.

He went back to the bag and picked out a bottle from it, and then he went to the car's back seat.

"Sher?" Damian gently nudged Sheryl to wake her up.

A confused Sheryl opened her eyes with great difficulty and squinted at Damian before she spoke with a hoarse voice. "Yes? What is it?"

"Here, drink it. It'll help make you feel better." Damian placed the bottle into Sheryl's hand as he replied.

There was only silence as Sheryl blankly stared at him and the bottle as if she couldn't figure out what's happening and couldn't drink by herself.

There wasn't even a hint of annoyance as Damian patiently helped her drink by placing the bottle to her lips. He waited until she finished drinking before he went back to his seat and peacefully started driving.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at Sheryl's home. Seeing that she was still peacefully sleeping, Damian couldn't bear to wake her up, nor was he willing to hand her over to Joan, who answered the door. Since there was no other option, Damian carried her into the house and her room, being extra gentle as he quietly took off her shoes and tucked her in bed.

It was silent aside from Sheryl's steady breaths as Damian sat by her bed. Once he was sure that she was deeply asleep, he reluctantly left her room with one last lingering look at Sheryl's face.

It never crossed his mind to do anything bad to her during her sleep. He knew that he loved this woman and wanted to be serious with her. He wouldn't make any move without her consent.

It was a very peaceful night for Sheryl, who slept soundly and undisturbed.

Even her children only gently kissed her forehead before leaving with Joan for school when they saw her sleep so deeply.

It was almost noon when she finally woke up and that was only because of Isla calling her phone. Otherwise, she would have continued to sleep in.

"Yeah... What's up?"

"Why don't you check what time it is? Why haven't you come to the company?"

It was an easy excuse for Isla to use so she could call Sheryl when she remembered that Sheryl had been drunk last night. She was curious about what happened between Sheryl and Damian last night but chose not to start with that topic.

It took Sheryl a while to reply as she rubbed her temples and tried to recall what happened from her fragmented memory. "I think...I drank too much last night. I just woke up...I feel so bad..."

"So both of you were up all night?" Isla snickered mischievously as she spoke into the phone.

"That's stupid! What could possibly happen between me and him?" There was nothing Sheryl wish for but to kill Isla for her suggestion if she was within reach instead of the other end of a call.

"Damian drove you home, you were alone with him in your room, and you didn't get laid?"

"You awful devil, I'm going to hang up if there's nothing else," Sheryl hung up without another word.

After hanging up, Sheryl got up and prepared to go to the company even if she'd arrive around lunchtime.

"You've come to the company just to have lunch, haven't you?" Isla greeted Sheryl as she looped their arms and walked into the office together.

"Isla Zhao, what did you tell Damian about me last night?"
