The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 630

Charles had already changed into his pajamas. He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window while drinking wine. Seeing this, Sheryl couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"You haven't fully recovered yet. You shouldn't be drinking any alcohol," she commented.

Charles was a little stunned to Sheryl's voice. He deliberately left his bedroom door open just in case Sheryl would need some help. But he didn't expect her to come this soon.

When he regained his senses, he turned around to face her with a smile. "It's fine." But when he saw water dripping from her hair, his smile turned into a frown. "Why didn't you dry your hair? You might get sick."

"Oh, yeah! That's actually the reason why I came here," she snapped as she remembered her purpose of coming into Charles' room. "I looked for a hairdryer everywhere in my room but I couldn't find any."

"I've got one in the bathroom." Charles pointed his finger to the bathroom. Sheryl walked to the bathroom to dry her hair.

When Sheryl walked out of the bathroom after drying her hair, Charles was still drinking wine. He had already drank almost half of the bottle. Sheryl furrowed her brows as she walked towards him. "It's late now. Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I don't feel sleepy yet. I wanna stay here for a little more while. Just go ahead and sleep if you're already sleepy," Charles answered. Charles felt extremely more clear-headed in the still of the night.

"Okay then, I will accompany you." Sheryl took a wine glass from the shelf next to her and poured some wine. The wine smelt good. "Nice wine," she commented as she sniffed the glass.

"Uh-huh." Charles smiled.

Then silence enveloped the whole room. None of them spoke a word. It was already midnight and it was very unusual for the two of them to spend a moment like this together. There was a hanging basket chair next to the floor-to-ceiling window so Sheryl sat on it.

There was one moment that Charles felt like Autumn had come back.

However, when he remembered that Sheryl only saw him as a stranger, he realized that he was only overthinking. Sheryl wasn't Autumn anymore.

Sheryl wasn't in a good mood either. Last night, she had a fight with Sue and until now, she still couldn't think of a way on how to make up with her.

While Sheryl was contemplating, her phone suddenly rang. When she looked at the screen, she saw Anthony's name. She just stared on it, pondering whether she should answer it or not.

"Is it Anthony?" Charles asked. He already knew who would only call Sheryl at this time of the night but he still asked to confirm.

"Yes." Sheryl nodded. When she was still hesitating to answer it, the ringing suddenly stopped. 'Great!' Sheryl felt relieved. She didn't need to feel embarrassed in front of Charles anymore.

"How's everything going between you and him?" Charles asked Sheryl, wishing to know something about them. Sherly smiled at him and answered,"We're good. We have a stable relationship."

"Oh, really?" Charles smiled coldly. "Then why didn't you answer his call just now?"

Why?

Perhaps it was because Charles was there. Sheryl might feel uncomfortable talking with Anthony while Charles was around.

Or maybe Sheryl just didn't want Anthony to know that she was still with Charles at this time of the night. Although Sheryl kept on telling herself that she wasn't doing anything wrong, somehow she still felt that it was inappropriate to spend the midnight with Charles. She didn't want Anthony to misunderstand her relationship with Charles.
