The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 629

"This is not exactly a guest room," Charles replied. "I had this room decorated back when Autumn was still pregnant. Since I wasn't sure of the baby's gender, I prepared two rooms. One was decorated with a girlish style and the other one was embellished with a marine style. That room was the one Charlie is using right now," Charles explained with a gentle smile.

'This room was originally prepared for his future daughter. No wonder the room is filled with dolls, ' Sheryl thought to herself.

"Uh…" Sheryl turned to Charles. "Have an early night," Sheryl urged Charles to leave. "Now that you are still injured, you need to have a good rest," she added.

"Yes, I know that," Charles replied. "By the way, there are a lot of new clothes in the wardrobe that Shirley can wear." Charles didn't tell Sheryl that those clothes had been just bought recently.

'What I really want is for Sheryl and Shirley to come into this house for good, ' Charles thought to himself. "Oh, alright."

Sheryl slightly nodded. When Charles left, Sheryl opened the wardrobe and found that there were a large number of clothes like what he said.

However, what surprised Sheryl the most was, the clothes were of different sizes, probably ranging from 0 to 10 years old.

It seemed that Charles had really fully expected the baby in Autumn's belly. Sheryl couldn't understand why she suddenly felt a little upset and envious.

She sighed and selected a pink nightgown. Then she went to Charlie's room. Charlie's room was just like what Charles had said, decorated in marine style with dark blue wall and corsair-shaped bed, giving out an aura of sea adventures.

Sheryl saw Charlie reading a book while Shirley was playing happily with some toys on the mat. She walked over to Shirley and said,"Shirley, how about staying here tonight?"

"Yes!" Shirley replied and nodded exuberantly. She felt extremely happy that she could stay with Charlie.

"It's late and Charlie needs to sleep now. Let's go to our room. I will help you take a shower before you go to sleep," Sheryl urged Shirley with a smile.

Shirley cast a glance at Charlie's direction before looking at Sheryl with her big round eyes. "Sher..." She was hesitant to continue. "Can I sleep here in Charlie's room?"

"Wh... What?!" Sheryl couldn't believe her ears. It seemed that she couldn't keep her daughter with her anymore. Shirley had grown up and no longer needed her mom.

"I want to sleep in Charlie's room," Shirley repeated slowly. She thought Sheryl didn't hear her. There were so many interesting toys in Charlie's room and Shirley also loved Charlie's company so she wanted to stay in his room.

Afraid that Sheryl might misunderstood her, Shirley tried to persuade her more. "Sher, you told me before that I couldn't sleep with you all the time because I have to become independent, right?"

Sheryl felt funny as she never expected that Shirley would one day use her own words against her.

"Just let her sleep here. Anyway, they are just kids. You have nothing to worry about," came Charles' voice from the door.

"Even so, Shirley needs to take a bath," Sheryl countered. Sheryl glanced at Shirley, hoping that she could change her mind. "Okay, you want to sleep with Charlie. But have you asked Charlie if he is okay with it?"

Shirley hastily turned to Charlie and asked,"Charlie, could I sleep with you tonight?"

As Charlie nodded in agreement, Sheryl's last hope went away.

She had no other choice but to give in. It was 3 versus 1. "How about you take a shower in our room first, and then I'll just take you back here after? Would that be okay?" Sheryl suggested.

Shirley nodded in agreement and asked Charlie to wait for her.
