The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 634

Sue stared at Sheryl angrily and said,"If he had been happy, I would have been content. But look at what you have done. You had the best possible man in the world, but you didn't cherish him. Instead, you showed loyalty to another man. You went out of the way to do things for him. You completely forgot your faithful Anthony, you ungrateful woman. I feel really sorry for him. Do you know he called me last night? He said your number was switched off. His sad voice broke my heart. Sheryl, I really hate you! If you don't love Anthony, then just leave him for me."

She continued with a sneer,"After all, you have Charles now. Just leave Anthony for me. I will be more loyal to him than you and treat him better also."

"I had a talk with Charles. We won't meet again. I have already told you this. From now on, I will give my full attention to Anthony and we will live a harmonious and happy life. I know you love him, but I won't let you have him even though we are friends," Sheryl said looking at Sue with an earnest expression.

Sue didn't reply. She just felt sorry for Anthony and herself. 'How can Sheryl take Anthony's love for granted? I hate her for treating him so badly. If only I could be his girlfriend!' These thoughts kept churning bitterly in her mind.

Sheryl felt embarrassed. It was clear to her that she and Sue couldn't go back to their old friendship. She forced a smile and said,"Mimi, I cherished our friendship. I know you love Anthony. However, I can't sacrifice my relationship with Anthony for your sake. That was why I turned a blind eye to your obvious affection for him. Now…"

She didn't finish her words. Instead she sighed deeply and said in a resigned voice,"I must leave. Shirley is alone at home. "

She didn't know how she was going to get along with Sue anymore. Some words just wounded deep as knives. She felt angry also. Although she regretted her words, she knew that their friendship had surely ended.

She walked towards the door with a heavy heart. She was about to step out when Sue called her name. She didn't look back, but paused to listen to what Sue had to say. Sue's voice was calm but determined. "Sheryl, since you now know that I love Anthony, I won't hide my deep feelings for him anymore. Let's have a fair fight. Let us wait and see who wins his heart."

After some hesitation, she continued,"I am afraid our friendship is over. I do hope you will not blame me for that. I just want to pursue my own happiness. If you can't make Anthony happy, I will take your place in his life. I will love him with my whole heart."

It was an open declaration of war. Sue made it clear that from then on she wouldn't take her friendship with Sheryl into account. All she would do was to win Anthony's love.

Sheryl left Sue's apartment without uttering a word. She knew their friendship had broken and was beyond repair at the moment.

When she reached her apartment she found Shirley watching a cartoon. She told Shirley to continue what she was doing and called Anthony after giving it some thought. She was soon speaking to Anthony on the phone. "Sher, what is going on? Why couldn't I reach you on your phone? I called Sue last night, but she had no idea where you were. You…"

Anthony said anxiously. He had been very worried about Sheryl.

"Anthony," Sheryl interrupted him. She hesitated and then decided to tell him the truth. "Do you remember the nightmare I have shared with you earlier?" she asked uncertainly.

"What?" Anthony asked in surprise. He was startled and clenched his phone tightly. 'Has she gotten back her memory? I hope not, ' he thought with fear.

Sheryl added,"The nightmare about my difficult labour."
