The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 695

He paused for a while and continued, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything. I just want to take care of you because you are injured. Even going to the restroom might be difficult for you now. At least I can help you. I can clean your room and cook for you."

"Don't bother about it. I really don't need help," Sue declined Anthony's offer. She felt mixed emotions. She laughed wryly and urged him, "You must leave now. I don't need your pity."

"You..." Anthony was upset by Sue's instant refusal. But he tried to pacify himself before he said, "Whatever you say, I still won't leave. I intend to stay here until you recover."

He cast a glance at Sue and added, "If you don't trust me enough, you can lock your room in the evening. I will sleep on the sofa."

Sue couldn't really understand why Anthony would insist to stay. He was already caught by Sheryl coming out of her apartment a few times. She stared at Anthony intently and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Sheryl might find out? Aren't you afraid that she might misunderstand you again?"

"No, she won't," Anthony replied with confidence. With hand movement stopping for a while, Anthony eventually replied Sue's question.

"How are you sure that she won't find out?" Sue asked again. Sue laughed wryly and sarcastically said, "She lives just opposite to my door. It's so easy for us to see each other. Have you forgotten we met her outside twice? Aren't you afraid that such thing will happen again?"

Anthony sighed deeply and opened his mouth to speak. "Don't forget that Sheryl will go hiking with Charles tomorrow. She won't be back soon."

Anthony's voice sounded so sad that Sue's heart melted for him.

A strong and a tall man with the height of 1.8 meters like Anthony expressed his grievance. Sue's heart ached for him.

Sue laughed wryly again. "No wonder you are very confident to stay here. You don't worry because you've already known that Sheryl will be out for two days."

Anthony paused for a while. He knew that Sue misunderstood him but he didn't have any intent to explain. Whatever happened, it would be impossible for Sue and him to be together. He should make it clear to Sue the sooner the better so that she wouldn't have any false hopes.

Anthony went to the kitchen first. He saw that all the pots and pans were steeped in the water. He guessed it had been several days that Sue didn't wash them. He stayed in the kitchen for a little while to clean up everything. When he stepped out of the kitchen, he saw Sue drinking a bottle of red wine.

His brows furrowed while staring at her. He angrily seized the bottle and said, "How can you drink wine when you are still injured?"

"So what?" Sue eyed Anthony and laughed sarcastically. "I feel slightly fretful so I want to drink a little to feel relaxed."

"No way!" Anthony sternly looked at Sue. Then he added, "You better take a bath and go to sleep now. I won't allow you to drink again."

"Can you watch over me all the time? I don't think so. That means, I can still drink whenever you are not around." Sue was very calm like as if it was no big deal at all.

"You..." Anthony gave in. He knew he couldn't stop Sue anymore. After contemplating for a while, Anthony took out two glasses from the shelf and poured some wine in them. He then gave one glass to Sue. He stared at her and said faintly, "You want to drink? Sure! Let's drink together."

It took a moment before Sue took the glass from Anthony.
