The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 635

Worried that Anthony would refuse, she added immediately,"I know that you have given more than me in our relationship. I will try my best to compensate for this. I will try to be a good wife and cook nice dishes for you every day. I will spare no effort to take care of you and Shirley. Maybe one day we will have our own child. Let us live happily together in the future."

Sheryl felt a little nervous because Anthony had still not said yes. Still she persisted,"Anthony, let us get married as soon as your parents meet me and approve of me. What do you say?"

"Idiot!" Anthony said lovingly. He teased,"Are you proposing to me? Let me do it! It's a man's privilege to propose to the woman he loves!"

"It does not matter as long as I can be with you," said Sheryl. Then she asked eagerly,"So do you agree or not?"

Anthony was in a rapture. He wanted to fly to Sheryl and tell her he agreed. He knew he had to persuade his parents even more strongly now. He was aware that they were selecting some eligible girls for him to date.

Anthony smiled and said,"Sher, please give me a chance to propose to you. I will go down on my knee and ask you to marry me. Please say yes on that day, okay?"

The final call for boarding was announced as he spoke these words. He told Sheryl,"I have to board now. I'll call you later."

"Okay, wish you a safe and happy flight." Sheryl hung up the phone with a happy smile. She felt her troubles had just fallen away from her shoulders. But she did not feel a great sense of elation or excitement.

'Maybe it's because we have been together for too long. It does not feel any different to me, '

Sheryl consoled herself.

When she fell asleep that night she dreamed of Charles. In the dream, she was married to Charles and he was running his hands over every part of her body with passionate love. They were in a white house by the seaside.

Sheryl woke up with a start. She patted her cheeks and rubbed her eyes in bewilderment. She wondered, 'What's wrong with you, Sheryl? What strange dreams you have!'

During the three years she had been with Anthony, she had always rejected Anthony's attempts at intimacy. She had assumed that she lacked passion and sex drive. But in her dream, she had passionately and actively responded to Charles' touch and kiss. She felt embarrassed even as she thought about it.

Sheryl slapped her head with annoyance as she tried to drive the unreal scenes of her lovemaking out of her mind.

Anthony reached his parents' home. He had hardly visited this house since Craig died. Also because he had become involved with Sheryl and had to take care of her. He had already informed his parents of his arrival and they were waiting to have dinner with him.

He didn't really get along well with his parents. More so since Sheryl had entered his life. His mother, Laura Ding, was totally going to oppose his marriage to Sheryl.
