The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 558

Charlie instinctively did not mention Sheryl to Leila. His gut told him that if Leila knew about Sheryl there would be hell to pay. Thus, he kept his secret.

"Enough!" Leila cried out loudly with a frown on her face. 'This is the boy who I have been raising for years. He's only known Charles for a few days. However, his loyalty is for his father instead of me. How ridiculous and pathetic!' she thought bitterly with anger and sorrow.

She sneered and said in a cold voice,"It's late. You should go to bed."

Saying this, she stood up and left Charlie's room. She didn't want to argue with Charlie about these things anymore.

Back in her room she took a shower and tried to calm down. As she lay in bed, Charlie's words kept running through her mind. 'If Charles really hates me, nothing I do will matter, ' she thought to herself secretly.

She had even employed the age-old trick of producing a son even before he could work out if he had ever had sex with her. But still Charles refused to accept her. She pondered on this and tried to figure out what she should do next.

Suddenly, she remembered Chris. Chris was most likely to be her only ally in that house. She would surely help Leila.

This thought cheered her up and Leila breathed a sigh of relief. She snuggled into the bed to make herself more comfortable. Although Chris had just given birth and should not be bothered, Leila knew she had no other choice. So she was determined to ask Chris for help the next day.

At the hotel

Ever since Sheryl got back to her room she just lay in bed. She neither undressed nor went for a bath. When Sue came back after a midnight feast with the other models, she found the room dark. She thought Sheryl hadn't returned. As a result, when she turned on the light, she got a fright at the sight of Sheryl in bed.

"God, you freaked me out," Sue exclaimed, placing her hand over her racing?heart. "I thought you weren't back yet. Why did you lying in the dark?" she frowningly asked.

Sheryl made no reply and remained motionless in bed. It was as if she hadn't heard her friend at all.

What Sue did not know was that Sheryl had an issue raging in her mind. Sheryl was perplexed about why she hadn't experienced any attraction in all the years she had been with Anthony, but today, she had been strongly attracted to a strange man.

This curious reality left her both confused and ashamed.

It was as if she had done something wrong to Anthony.

"What's wrong, Sher?" Sue asked as she sensed something was majorly troubling Sheryl. She went up to the bed and placed her hand on Sheryl's forehead. She muttered,"No fever, are you... "

"I'm fine," Sheryl interrupted weakly. Sue stared at her doubtfully. She was sure that Sheryl was upset about something. After a moment of hesitation, she said softly,"Sher, I'm your best friend. In the past you have always confided in me. Why has this changed since our arrival in Y City?"

Sheryl gaped at Sue's innocent question.

She thought sadly to herself, 'Why has it changed?

When did the change begin? From the moment Sue got drunk and told me she liked Anthony or from the moment Charles showed up?'

She couldn't find the right answer to these questions, but she was sure something had changed between her and Sue.
