The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2106

Sheryl immediately noticed the terrified look on her daughter's face. She suddenly lowered her head and kissed her daughter's forehead in an attempt to comfort her. "Now, you be a good girl, and please rest well. Mommy's just going to talk to daddy, okay?"

"Then, could you stop yelling at daddy, please? He knows what he did was wrong. Please forgive him!" Shirley had always been such a well-behaved and nice little girl.

Sheryl couldn't help but be moved. She put on a smile for Shirley and said, "Of course, I'm not going to yell at your father. Now just get some rest, okay?"

Sheryl straightened up when she saw Shirley was about to fall asleep. She then said to Charles in a low voice, "Let's talk outside."

Charles could tell that Sheryl wasn't going to let him off easy. He knew what he'd done was wrong, and he wasn't sure if Sheryl was going to forgive him. He sighed as he followed Sheryl out of the room.

When they'd left the ward, Sheryl still had her back turned to Charles.

Charles moved a bit closer to Sheryl. He waited a while before speaking, "Sher, please don't get mad at me. I already feel bad enough for what happened. I swear I won't let anything like this happen again."

"You swear? I think I've already heard that before. I don't think I can find it in myself to still believe a promise from someone like you," Sheryl said, her tone icy.

Charles was taken aback by this. He immediately knew what she was talking about. She was talking about when Charles had broken his promise about handling Vicky.

"Sher, there are just things that I can't explain to you right now. Just please believe me and give me another chance. Please." Charles was just hoping that Sheryl would give him another chance, so he didn't mind that Sheryl was giving him the cold shoulder now.

"Charles, it's your actions that have led me to this point. I don't think I can believe anything you say from now on." Sheryl turned to face Charles this time, glaring at him, her face blank. She continued, "Why would I forgive you? Are you telling me that the whole thing with Vicky isn't real? I think you're forgetting the other things you've done. I just never say it out loud for our children's sake, but this isn't the first time that this has happened. Do you really think I'm just going to continue letting you walk all over me?"

Sheryl said, not holding back this time. She rarely exploded like this, but now that her daughter had been affected, she just couldn't let it go anymore.

The most important thing in the world to her was her kids. It used to be her entire family—including Charles, but after the divorce, she promised herself that she was going to protect the kids, and she was going to give them the best life she could.

However, Shirley was only in the hospital because Charles, her own father, had been careless. Sheryl couldn't stand seeing Shirley like this, and it was all Charles' fault.

So, no, she was not going to forgive the man who had brought this upon Shirley.

Never!

"Sher, seriously, what is it going to take for you to forgive me? Please try and understand that I did not have a choice regarding Vicky..."

"Since you had no choice, then just let it go. I do not want to be accused of being unreasonable. Just save it. Charles, I'm begging you. Please just stay away from us. You've only caused me more trouble. I don't ever want to see you again." These words left a huge gaping hole in Charles' heart. He felt like he was being stabbed repeatedly by a spear.

He grew discouraged, and sorrow filled his eyes while his hands trembled in anxiety. He'd been through so much already, and he felt as if Sheryl was repeatedly stomping on the broken pieces of his heart.

Charles wanted to let Sheryl in on everything that he had kept from her. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He could not explain right now, but he knew that he couldn't tell Sheryl the truth just yet, especially at this critical moment. He knew it still wasn't the time, and he had no choice.

A couple of days ago, David found out that Vicky was most likely connected to Ferry, who was in prison now. And Rob, who had been in close contact with Vicky, turned out to have been one of Ferry's right-hand men before he was thrown into prison.

If he was right about this, then Vicky was most likely just playing him to get closer to him.
