The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2085

"Why didn't you just call instead of coming here? Are you that stupid?" Sheryl asked, putting on a weak smile.

"Uh, yeah, I don't know what I was thinking," Isla murmured then scratched her head, seemingly in a daze.

Sheryl was rendered speechless. She did not know how to respond.

"Let's talk about Charles first. How are you feeling about Charles recently? You know, he's been helping you a lot lately... Do you like that he's been helping you?" Isla bombarded Sheryl with questions.

Sheryl fell silent, not knowing what to say. She didn't know how to face Charles, and she wasn't able to prepare either.

"I'm telling you! Charles has hurt you before, and he's had affairs. He isn't good for you! Even though he's been very helpful lately, that still doesn't change the past. I just don't want you to hold out hope for him. I won't allow it, okay?" Isla said earnestly.

However, Sheryl wasn't listening to Isla. She knew how devoted she and Charles had been to one another when they were still married. Sheryl's stomach was tied in knots.

"Alright, alright! Isla, don't you have anything else to do? Have you finished your work?" Sheryl suddenly said, purposely changing the topic.

"Oh, my God, I completely forgot! I have an appointment! I need to leave, Sher, but you haven't told me about Charles yet!" Isla said.

Isla then realized that she came to visit to check on how Sheryl was doing in terms of her feelings toward Charles. Was Sheryl really willing to get back together with Charles after all he's put her through?

Sheryl didn't say a word as she pressed her lips together.

"You still look like you're in love with Charles! I can't help but be worried about you, Sher. I want to give you some advice. You have to move on from the past. Damian's been pursuing you for so long. Why don't you..." Isla asked. She didn't know what to make of Sheryl's strange behavior.

"I can't possibly marry him," Sheryl blurted out.

Isla couldn't understand why Sheryl was being so stubborn. She knew it would take some time before Damian grew on Sheryl, but it's not like she was completely averse towards him.

Isla knew that Damian was a well-educated man. It also helped that he was quite good-looking too. He adored Sheryl, and Isla couldn't understand why Sheryl wouldn't just give him a chance.

"Please, listen to me, Sher. Men like Damian are rare! You won't find anyone else like him!" Isla kept trying to convince Sheryl. To her, Sheryl was being unreasonable.

Sheryl was already starting to get annoyed with Isla. She didn't say anything, though, as she just kept her eyes glued on the TV.

Sheryl was busy thinking about Charles and what he was going to do next. 'What would Charles think if I date Damian? Is he still going to visit me in the next few days?'

Sheryl thought to herself nervously.

"Did you hear me? Sher. Sher. Sher!" Isla said, nagging. She knew Sheryl wasn't listening as it was obvious that she was lost in her own thoughts.

Sheryl snapped out of her trance. She had actually heard Isla, but she didn't care for what Isla was saying as she only had eyes for Charles. She was with Isla, but her mind was elsewhere.

"I already told you that I'm not interested in him, Isla. Why won't you listen to me?" Sheryl shrugged her shoulders in response.

"But why? Just tell me why you won't give him a chance, and we'll see what we can do about it," Isla pressed.

Upon seeing the serious look on Isla's face, Sheryl knew that Isla wasn't going to let this go if she didn't make herself clear.

"Damian is intelligent, and he's a great guy, but he's not my type," Sheryl said, sighing.

"All right, then what's your type? We can look for someone you can date." Isla was pretty passionate about this.

Sheryl didn't utter a word.

"Why do you love Charles? He's had affairs, he's hurt you. You're just being stubborn, Sher. I don't know what to do with you anymore," Isla said.
