The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 609

"See a friend? Who is it?" When George asked. George was surprised to know that Holley meant to meet someone because as far as he knew, Holley didn't know anyone here. Holley had told him before that she didn't have any acquaintances here.

"Don't ask too much. I won't take long." Instead of answering George's questions, Holley hurriedly kissed him on the cheek and said her last words,"I'll be back soon."

Actually, Holley was in a hurry because Ferry told her that Leila was waiting for her. It had been three years since she last heard about her. She didn't have any idea if everything had been well for Leila these past years.

Holley once considered Leila as an enemy. But now that they had the same goal, she wanted to treat her as a friend.

Just like what the saying goes, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' Now they would be working together against a common enemy.

Now that Charlie was taken by Charles, Leila's chance of getting together with Charles became impossible. She felt bad that all her efforts to be a single mother these past years had just gone to waste.

That was why she called Ferry to asked for help. She told him that Autumn was still alive.

Ferry was exasperated when he heard the news. But he tried his best to stay calm. He instructed Leila to go to a certain place and wait for someone who used to be her acquaintance.

Leila thought hard but she couldn't really figure out who Ferry was referring to. She couldn't tell who this old acquaintance really was.

Leila had been waiting for half an hour now but no one arrived yet. She got impatient so she finished the cup of coffee she ordered and prepared to leave. However, before she could stand up, a beautiful woman suddenly sat down beside her. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and looked a little restless.

Leila stared at the woman trying to analyze her. She wanted to recall if she had ever seen this woman before. But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't really remember her so she asked in an unfriendly tone,"Excuse me, you may have gotten the wrong table."

"I came here for you," the woman replied firmly. Holley removed her sunglasses and looked into Leila's eyes. "You look much older than before."

Holley stared at Leila intently while the latter also did the same. After a while, Leila shook her head and frowned. She said,"I'm sorry. I really don't know you. You are?"

"Leila, you are still so blind and silly! I find it so ridiculous for a woman like you to dream of marrying Charles!" Holley didn't care if Leila couldn't recognize her. She just said what she had been wanting to say. Holley's voice was stinging satire.

Suddenly, Leila remembered someone who had the same expression and tone as this woman beside her. Leila couldn't help but shudder upon recognizing her. "Y... Yvonne?" she stuttered. She couldn't believe her eyes.

"Yes, it's me!" Holley admitted frankly. Since she already considered Leila as an ally, there was no need to hide from her anymore. "Nice to see you again, Leila," she said.

"Oh! You're really Yvonne!" Leila said, her eyes bulging in surprise. Then she added,"It has been three... no... four... It had been four years that we haven't seen each other. How have you been? Why do you look so different?" Leila asked a lot of questions. She was still overwhelmed with shock.
