The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2110

Melissa felt upset to learn that Sheryl had started seeing someone.

Even more so because she heard it from her grandchild. It was Shirley who told Melissa that the new man in Sheryl's life had sent flowers to her and even invited her to have dinner with him. Hearing all this, Melissa felt heartbroken.

She gave this information the benefit of the doubt, trying to ignore it as a child's misinterpretation. However, when she saw that Sheryl was ashamed, she realized the truth behind Shirley's words.

Sheryl was indeed dating another man.

But who was the man? Was he the same person who came to the Dream Garden with Sheryl?

The more Melissa thought about it, the more disheartened she felt. She couldn't bear to see the awkward look on Sheryl's face.

Hence, she cleared her throat and changed the topic. She smiled at Shirley and said, "Shirley, I heard that your teachers were all praising you. They said that you are clever, and you are also a good girl. Can you tell me how you became such a good girl?"

Shirley was excited to hear the nice words from Melissa. Like any other child, she also liked praises. Enthusiastically, she told Melissa what happened in kindergarten. Even Melissa seemed to have become engrossed in Shirley's narration.

Shirley even forgot to ask why her mother's face had turned red. Sheryl finally felt relaxed and looked at Melissa with appreciation.

Melissa ignored her appreciation. Her mind was still occupied with several questions about that man. As long as she thought of that man, she felt anxious.

Just a few steps away, Charles stood at the door of the medical ward with a grim face.

He had heard what Shirley had said and knew that the man was none other than Damian. But he couldn't stop Sheryl or Damian, because he and Sheryl were divorced. And that was the truth that no one could deny.

Sheryl was single now. She could date anyone, including Damian. 'It is none of my business. I can't stop them, ' Charles thought in his mind.

He must attend to the present problems as soon as possible. And then he could purse Sheryl once again and win her back.

Sheryl was embarrassed when Shirley revealed her involvement with another man, and the shame in her eyes kept playing in Charles' mind. And each time, it felt like a hard blow on his chest. He heaved a sigh in his mind and then walked far away from the ward. After a few moments, he called David.

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

"What has that woman done in recent days? Update me about her recent activities," Charles asked.

"Mr. Lu, nothing at all. Don't worry. I have a close eye on her. It is so strange. She has stayed in the villa ever since she left your office that last time. She hasn't gone out even once."

"She hasn't gone anywhere?" Charles frowned.

"No. She has not. I have deputed many people to watch over her day and night. As per their reports, she didn't leave the villa even once."

"Okay, I see. Keep a close eye on her," Charles ordered.

"Of course!" David replied. "Mr. Lu, you are going to have a meeting with Mr. Zhang this afternoon..." he added.

"I see," Charles replied in a low voice. "I will reach the company before that."

"All right." David felt relieved. He knew what had happened in the Dream Garden the day before. But Charles had warned him not to tell others. He didn't know how to explain it to Mr. Zhang if Charles wanted to cancel the meeting.

Charles hung up and stood still for a while. He was thinking about what would be Vicky's next step.

So far, Charles had come to know that Vicky had a connection with Ferry's subordinate, Rob. Even though Ferry was in prison, Vicky could communicate with him through Rob. But Charles had no idea about the kind of deal or agreement Vicky had with Ferry.

There was no other option than to wait for Vicky's next move. As long as Vicky did not start executing her plan, Charles had no way to find out her real motive.
