The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 659

"What I told you was absolutely true," Sheryl looked up at Anthony and explained to him patiently. Anthony was fuming in rage. She understood that he was not in the position to judge the situation rationally. Any man who suspected that his girlfriend got involved with another man would be mad. It was useless to reason with him at the moment. So she suggested,"I know you are angry. We will talk about it when you calm down."

Anthony was rather amazed at such a cool reaction from Sheryl. It seemed she had no repentance for what she did! "You would rather keep that a secret and never let me know, huh?" Anthony said. In the past three years, Anthony had done so much for Sheryl while she still maintained a vague distance with him. And just now she confessed to him that she had spent the last few days with Charles in his house! Anthony could suddenly feel that all his efforts to win her heart had gone in vain. He was deeply hurt. He could not put up the all forgiving benevolent self in front of her any more. He blurted,"Sheryl, do you think you can do anything even if it hurts me just because I love you? Do you think I am an idiot? Do you have no heart? Do you think I can always tolerate you and forgive you no matter what you do? Do you think I won't mind being a weak cuckold? When you were with Charles, have you ever thought about the fact that you have a boyfriend? And on the top of that you have no repentance for it!"

Sheryl was shocked to hear Anthony's accusation. She had thought Anthony loved her and trusted her. The fact that Anthony's faith in her was so frail that it broke so easily hurt her feelings deeply. He didn't even care to hear the entire thing. She sneered,"In your heart, I am such a cheeky shameless woman. That's your real thoughts, isn't that?"

"Isn't it true?" Anthony retorted. Sheryl's question struck him like an arrow leaving him sad and dejected. He knew Sheryl very well and trusted her. However, he couldn't restrain his anger.

Jealous.

Yes, he was jealous. His lips curved in a painful and sarcastic smile.

He thought, 'Three years ago, I really envied Charles because he had met Autumn before I could express my feelings for her. And now, three years later, Charles still has his own charm to bring Sheryl to get close to him. I am so jealous of him.'

"Get out! Get out of here," Sheryl shouted, looking at Anthony angrily. Sheryl could not tolerate Anthony's suspicion towards her. Is this how he loved her? That his trust broke so easily. Little did she know why Anthony reacted in that way at the very mention of Charles. What actually made him so insecure towards Charles?

Yes, last night she went out with Charles and stayed with him for the whole night. Although there was nothing between them beyond friendship, she knew her behavior was not proper for a committed woman like her. She had intended to make a sincere apology. She had never expected Anthony to react like this. His harsh criticism made her disappointed.

She calmed down and said,"Anthony, we'd better take a break. You have not in right mindset to talk about this. We will talk about it, after you have calmed down." Sheryl looked at his face and wondered what happened to him? This was the first time she saw him react like this.

Anthony glared at Sheryl and insisted,"I am perfectly rational now."

Sheryl failed to persuade Anthony. She looked up at him with apologetic eyes and explained once again after a deep breath,"Anthony, I am aware that it was improper for me to do what I did. I was wrong. I admit it. I told you nothing happened between Charles and me. We are just acquaintances. He has been pursuing me, but I didn't agree. I knew that I am your girlfriend and hence have maintained a respectable distance with him always. Why can't you trust me?" Sheryl looked at Anthony's face which was still as stern as ever. She felt that no matter what she said and how much she tried to assure him about her loyalty towards their relationship, Anthony was hard to be convinced. She had tried her best to smooth things over while it didn't work.

"Trust you?" replied Anthony with a sneer. "Tell me, why did you live in Charles' house when I was in the United States?" Anthony was literally on the verge of getting paranoid at this point. He could feel a fist full of sand slipping out of his grip. It was possible for Sheryl to fall in love with Charles once again. Or else, she could even remember her past as she met her ex-husband several times. Charles must have tried his best to remind her of her past. The thought of his life without Sheryl, made him feel miserable and he couldn't suppress his anger.

Sheryl thought sadly, 'How could Anthony know about all this? It must be Sue. She has a liking for Anthony and she said she would compete against me.

I feel so unhappy. After all, we used to be best friends. Now we will be mere acquaintances.

I understand why she did so. Making trouble for Anthony and I is surely good for her. Thank God, she just told him the truth and didn't make up any stories. There is no need to hate her. All she wants is to take my place and become Anthony's girlfriend.' Sheryl was lost in her thoughts while Anthony was expecting a reply from her.

Anthony stared at her with a cold look on his face and asked,"Why don't you say something? Don't you have an answer to a simple question I asked? I repeat again, why did you stay at Charles' house? Sheryl, I trusted you and respected you. See what you have done to repay me? You said you have nothing to do with Charles. Why did you stay in his house?" He interrogated once again.

Sheryl heaved a deep sigh and explained the whole thing,"Anthony, I stayed in his house in order to look after him. While I was getting photographed in the film studio, the background panel fell down. He was hurt when he rushed to protect me. If he hadn't done that, I would have been injured. That's the only reason why I went to his house. Trust me, I am telling you the truth. Besides, I just stayed there for one night. I came back early next morning."
