The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 661

Charles hung up the phone, looked up at David in the doorway and said,"Let him in, David."

David hesitated for a moment before he finally got out of the way. Anthony immediately stormed into Charles' office and headed to him.

He grabbed Charles by the collar. "Charles, what do you want?" he snarled savagely at Charles. "Didn't you hurt Autumn enough three years ago? Do you intend to completely destroy her before you decide to stop pestering her?"

"Get off me!" Charles ordered sternly and struggled to free himself from Anthony's grip. "I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to me personally before I can even find you."

Putting on a wry smile, Charles went on,"You've just come at the right time. There is actually one thing I want to clarify with you today. Whether she is Sheryl or Autumn, I'll never allow her to leave me this time. So, I advise you to remember who you really are and give her up while it's early."

"How ridiculous!" Anthony sniffed. "When Autumn was still with you three years ago, you just broke her heart. Now that she has finally moved on and completely forgotten about you, why can't you just let her go?"

Anthony glared at Charles and continued,"You didn't cherish her when she was still Autumn. Now that she's already Sheryl and she doesn't need you anymore, why would you take her back? She's not your wife anymore. We've been happy during the past three years and I won't let you just ruin it. Your presence has caused a lot of troubles in our lives so I think it is you who should stay away from us."

"Don't fool yourself, Anthony!" Charles retorted in an unflinching manner. "If you are confident that she really loves you, you should not feel threatened by me. Anyway, I am just a man she met not so long ago. If you are really important in her heart, how can I be able to destroy your relationship?"

Staring at Anthony's face, he pointed out ironically,"Anthony, you know very well that you are just her male best friend. Whether she was Autumn in the past or she is Sheryl at the moment, that fact doesn't change. And even if she doesn't admit it now, I know I am special in her heart."

"I've never met a man as brazen as you," Anthony sneered. Then he added,"I am warning you, Charles. Stay away from Sheryl. We are getting engaged next week after I take her to meet my parents. There's nothing you can do anymore. Autumn was yours before, but Sheryl is mine now. You better figure that out."

"Come to me and show off when that time comes," Charles jeered. "If you really think it will go well, why did you need to come here and warn me?"

With a frosty look, Charles continued,"Doesn't your presence here only proves that you have no confidence at all? Obviously, you don't have the confidence to keep Sheryl around."

"You are such a glib talker!" Anthony quipped. "Just wait and see. I will prove to you that Sheryl and I are a perfect couple. And no matter how hard you try, you will just end up wasting your time," Anthony boasted.

"Okay, we'll see," Charles responded indifferently. "If that's all you've got to say, you can leave now," Charles roughly dismissed Anthony this time.

Anthony was aggrieved that he came here so aggressive, yet, he had to leave dejected.

When Anthony walked out of his office, Charles' face hardened.
