The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 637

Laura cast an indifferent glance at the cosmetic box and threw it on the table. She turned to Anthony and said,"I'm going to have a meal with a friend. Can you also come with me? Our family has not gone out for a meal in a very long time."

"Fine, I'll join you mom," Anthony answered. Then he said,"Mom, apart from the cosmetic box, Sher also sent some scarves and handbags for you. Look at them."

Anthony emphasized that they were purchased by Sheryl to soften Laura. He hoped it would change her bad impression about Sheryl. But Laura's indifferent reaction indicated that she still did not want to hear Sheryl's name.

"It's quite late. You have had a long day today. You must be extremely tired. It's better you have a nice hot bath and go to sleep. We are going to see your Aunt Jasmine tomorrow morning." Laura tried to end the conversation without any mention of Sheryl.

Anthony arched his eyebrows. It was obvious his whole evening's effort was wasted. Now Laura was urging him to go to bed. He felt a little disappointed.

He put aside the gifts he was holding and said seriously to Laura,"Mom, I know you don't like Sheryl, but I do. She is the one whom I want to spend the rest of my life with. Sheryl and I respect you. We hoped to get your permission and blessings for our marriage. But what should I do if you keep such a negative attitude towards her?"

"Did that woman tell you to visit us?" Laura looked at Anthony with cold eyes. She didn't even want to utter Sheryl's name. "I suspect that you must have an ulterior motive to visit us. You told us you came home because you missed us. Actually, you just came for that woman. I'm so disappointed in you."

"Mom..." Anthony inquired,"Why you are so unfriendly to Sher? She didn't do anything wrong!"

"I won't agree to your marriage even if she were perfect like a goddess," Laura mocked him. Then she added,"I can't allow a woman who has given birth to a baby out of wedlock to be your wife. You don't have to waste your energy promoting her because I will never agree to this marriage."

Both Laura and Anthony stared stubbornly at each other. Anthony said,"Mom, the only woman I want is Sheryl. She does have a kid, so what? I love her. I even love her daughter. I am happy to be Shirley's stepfather and nobody can change my mind."

Anthony seriously continued,"To be honest, I came back just to announce my marriage with Sheryl. I will bring her to visit you soon. If you accept her, we will be your devoted son and daughter-in-law, and Shirley will be your granddaughter. If not..."

"What will you do if we don't accept her?" Carlson inquired. Carlson had wanted to stay out of this matter. Anthony's inappropriate words forced him to enter the conversation between his wife and son.

"If you don't accept her..." Anthony paused for a while and continued,"I will marry Sheryl regardless. We will live our life away from you and break all relations with you."

"Anthony!" Laura screamed. She was heartbroken. Her son had uttered such heartless words to her for the sake of a woman. Smiling bitterly she said,"Are you going to break your relationship with us for an unworthy woman? Do you want to destroy the family for the sake of a slut?"

Laura was pained. Looking into Anthony's eyes, she still couldn't believe her son could say such words.
