The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2086

Isla nodded in agreement, so Damian continued, "That's exactly what I feel about Sheryl. The first time I saw her, I knew she was special. And as we became closer, I started falling for her."

Isla was moved by his words. She had never realized that Damian already loved Sheryl. Actually, she hadn't expected him to like Sheryl from the very beginning. The whole thing was a lot to take in.

At that moment, Isla wished that Sheryl would change her mind about Damian. Seeing his intentions, she just knew that he would treat her right.

But Sheryl was too stubborn to listen to any of them.

'I guess Sheryl would never love you back, ' Isla thought sadly, shaking her head.

Receiving no response, Damian had thought that Isla didn't believe him either. He sighed before continuing, "Ms. Zhao, I know this is sudden, but do you mind if I ask a favor from you?"

"A favor? For what?" Isla asked in surprise.

"Look, I didn't intend to eavesdrop." He raised his hands up to emphasize his innocence. "But I heard your conversation with Sheryl just now. I think Sheryl is feeling confused now, and I would give her more space and time to think about it, but..."

"But what?" Damian hesitated.

"I just want to know why Sheryl wanted the divorce. When she was talking to you, I could tell that her feelings...that Charles– She still has feelings for Charles." His voice broke at the end of his speech as if saying those words brought a knife to his heart. As much as he wanted to ignore it, he knew it was true.

Isla blinked at the unexpected question. Though they didn't talk much, nor were they close from the beginning, she couldn't help but feel at ease with Damian. He seemed like the kind of man who would give Sheryl the life that she truly deserved.

Since Charles was the one that caused the breakup in the first place, Isla had no qualms in telling Damian what had truly happened between them.

Even if Sheryl were to find out, she honestly didn't care.

In fact, if this worked out, she might even thank Isla in the end. After one last observation of Damian's sincerity, she took a step forward, looking warily at their surroundings before turning to him. "What I'm going to tell you, you must not tell anyone. Understand?"

"Yes." Damian made a motion of zipping his lips.

"I feel like I'm speaking to a child!" Isla snorted, amused by Damian's display. Her smile then vanished from her expression. "Look, it's a long story. There's this woman named Vicky and..."

It took her a few minutes to finish the story. When she was done, Damian was like a fish with his mouth gaping open. If this wasn't such a serious matter, Isla would have already captured priceless expressions and sold it on eBay.

"You mean, he cheated on her and left her?" Damian said incredulously as if the mere thought could be compared to pigs flying through thin air.

He always thought that Charles was deeply in love with Sheryl. What could have possessed him to leave her, he would never know.

Besides, how could one replace Sheryl with anybody for that matter? Damian just couldn't put the puzzle pieces together.

Isla shrugged. "I know right? But Sheryl had already seen Vicky for herself." She rolled her eyes in exasperation. "He even bought a house for her, and we have no idea where she's being hidden now."

Damian's confusion on that matter grew even stronger.

If Charles really loved Vicky, why would he hide her?
