The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 654

"So, whom do you think you are talking with right now? Sheryl or Autumn?" Sheryl asked. Women are weird creatures. Sheryl already knew there was no difference between Autumn and herself but she still couldn't help but feel jealous.

She was deeply moved by Charles' words but could never take to be just Autumn's substitute.

"I think you must have already gotten the answer," Charles answered. Charles' absurd answer made Sheryl feel a little confused.

"We need to talk, Charles," Sheryl said. Charles nodded and said,"Yes, you're right. And that is exactly the reason why I took you here."

Sheryl looked at Charles seriously while thinking how to start the conversation.

After a while, she finally started,"I know you love Autumn very much. I totally understand your agony of losing her. But I'm different from her. If you want to be with me so you can make up for your shortcomings on her, I can't accept that. I will never be anyone's substitute."

"Sher!" Charles suddenly gripped her hand. Sheryl didn't admit that she already knew who she was so Charles also didn't expose her.

He cast a glance at Sheryl and said,"Whoever you maybe, all I want is you. You don't have to be Autumn's or anyone else's substitute."

Sheryl felt in a mess. He took her to the place where Autumn went missing three years ago and confessed his love for her. Then suddenly he would say that he also loved Sheryl.

Autumn must feel so sad if she found out that her beloved husband had fallen in love with another woman so easily.

But at present, she was already Sheryl. After knowing Charles' love for his wife, she felt so uneasy and it seemed so hard to accept his love.

She couldn't understand why Charles would chose such an inappropriate way to express his feelings.

"Please agree to be with me," Charles pleaded. His palms began sweating. The one he was asking was the woman he loved the most so he couldn't help but get nervous.

Sheryl glared at Charles and shook her head with a bitter smile. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. I have told you clearly, I already have a boyfriend. I feel happy and comfortable when I am with him because I don't have to worry about being another woman's substitute. He loves me with all his heart and that is what I want." "As for us, we belong to different worlds so could never be together," she added.

"How can you be so sure that we belong to different worlds without even giving it a try?" Charles asked her in agony.

"The answer is so clear so we don't really need to try," Sheryl answered sternly and shook his hand off.

"I can always be myself and I can do anything I like when I am with Anthony because nothing is more important in his heart than me. But you are different..." she said and paused for a while. Then she added,"You have just told me a while ago that Autumn is the only woman you love, and yet, you are also expressing your feelings for me right now. Moreover, if you really love her so much, how do you explain your relationship with Leila? Why do you even have a son with her?" Sheryl couldn't hide the bitterness she was feeling anymore.

She had seen the birthmark in Charlie's wrist but she had never doubted that he was Leila's son.

She stared at Charles and asked again,"How can you explain them?"
