The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 647

About three o'clock, Anthony knocked on Sheryl's door. Shirley rushed to open the door. Upon seeing Anthony there, she jumped into his arms and said with happiness,"Tony, you are back finally!"

Anthony hugged Shirley with love and kissed her on the cheek. He asked with a broad smile,"Did you miss me, sweetie?"

"Yes, I did!" Shirley said vigourously nodding her head. She added,"I missed you so much that I did not sleep every day."

Sheryl laughed and exposed Shirley's lie,"Anthony, don't believe this little liar. She only cared about her play during your absence. She slept very soundly every night and didn't show the smallest sign of missing you."

Sheryl looked at Shirley with amusement and affection. She wondered why Shirley was so naughty. Her daughter was so different from her in nature.

"She knows that you bring loads of gifts for her every time you come back from a trip. She was just flattering you." Sheryl voiced Shirley's true reason for the warm welcome she showed Anthony.

"Sher!" Shirley tried to stop Sheryl from exposing her but it was too late. The damage was done. She stared at Sheryl with an injured look and told her not to spread lies about her any more.

"Fine, I will keep all your secrets safe from now on," Sheryl promised with a laugh as she busied herself cleaning the room.

"Look Shirley, look what are these?" Many toys suddenly and magically appeared in Anthony's hands. Anthony said with a smile,"I choose to believe Shirley did miss me. I don't care whether she lied or not."

Sheryl felt very pleased with Anthony's love for Shirley.

Shirley squealed with joy and grabbed the toys. She took the toys to her room. She began playing with all the toys in no time. Anthony closed the door and walked up to Sheryl. He hugged her tightly from behind. He pressed his face on her shoulder and asked her with affection,"Sher, did you miss me?"

Sheryl gently moved out of his arms. She avoided the question and said with a smile,"You shouldn't always listen to Shirley and pamper her so much. She will get totally spoilt."

"I like to spoil her and see her sweet and happy smile." Anthony looked deep into Sheryl's eyes as he said,"She is my daughter and I will do anything for her happiness."

"What do you mean?" Sheryl asked with a blush. "How is she your daughter?"

"Isn't she?" Anthony asked,"She will officially become my daughter when we get married. A good father should always spoil his daughter. Otherwise, when she grows up she will fall for any man who is a little sweet to her."

"Anthony, stop talking nonsense!" Sheryl said with a coy look at him. She sat down and began folding the washed and dried clothes.

Anthony sat down beside her and asked,"I hope you have not forgotten your promise to me Sher."

"What did I promise?" Sheryl stopped folding the clothes and looked at Anthony nervously.

Anthony frowned and said,"Have you forgotten? You said you would visit my parents with me after I came back. Then you promised to marry me. Please tell me you are only joking and have not really forgotten your promise."

Somehow, another man's image flitted into Sheryl's mind. She shook her head immediately, trying to drive away the image from her mind.

Anthony got worried when he saw her shaking her head. He gripped her hands tightly and asked,"What do you mean by shaking your head? You did agree to marry me. Have you changed your mind?"
