The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 698

Charles felt slightly upset. He knew that although Sheryl already got closer to him, she still treated him as an acquaintance. That was still far from what he really wanted.

But it didn't matter. Since he was able to take Sheryl here today, he also believed that could achieve his goal someday. In time, he could get together with Sheryl again.

He glimpsed at Sheryl before he said, "Stop what you're doing for now. I'm going to take you out to dinner."

"Now?" Sheryl paused for a while and replied surprisingly. Charlie held Sheryl's hand and looked up to her with his innocent eyes. "Sher, I am hungry. Let's go eat now."

"Okay..." Sheryl shrugged. She couldn't refuse Charlie's innocent pleading look.

Charles laughed inside him. Charlie was absolutely an incredible help at some important times like this.

Charles continued to carry Shirley in his arms since he already picked her up earlier. Sheryl, on the other hand, held Charlie's hand and walked slowly after Charles. From afar, one would think that they were one happy family.

When they passed by Alice's room, Sheryl asked, "Where are David and Alice? How about we invite them to join us for dinner?"

"No, we don't need to invite them," Charles said in a calm voice. It took him great efforts to have such an opportunity to be alone with Sheryl. How could he allow someone to be a gooseberry? Even if he knocked on their door and invited them, they would definitely not dare to say yes.

For Sheryl not to notice his reluctance, he immediately added, "They must be out by now. As a love-struck couple, they didn't get a lot of chances to go out together. So, now that they got their chance, we shouldn't be gooseberries."

"It seems that you are a boss with a big heart," Sheryl commented with a smile.

When the four of them reached outside of the house, a service car was already waiting for them. As they got in, Sheryl suddenly asked, "Is the restaurant far from here?"

"You'll know it when we get there," Charles answered meaningfully.

Five minutes later, the car stopped. When they got off, Sheryl found out that they were in a vast farmland surrounded by all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables. There was also a wide river not too far. Standing in the middle of the field, one could catch a whiff of harvests carried by the wind.

"Wow! This place is great!" Sheryl exclaimed in excitement.

She had always wished to find a place like this to live in. When she was not busy, she could grow vegetables and flowers. She believed that, only in a slow pace could one enjoy life truly.

But since she was living in a bustling city, how could she find such a bucolic place like this?

"Do you like it here?" Charles asked vigorously. Seeing Sheryl's happy expression, Charles knew that he'd chosen the right place.

"Yes, I like it here!" Sheryl nodded her head enthusiastically.

"I'm glad you liked it," Charles said with a smile as he looked lovingly to Sheryl. "Let's order?" Charles pointed at the field and said, "The ingredients of our order will be coming from this farm. What would you like to eat? I can pick the ingredients for you."

"Really?" Sheryl's eyes glistened with too much excitement. "No, I want to pick them myself," she answered as her eyes landed on the purple eggplants near them. She couldn't help licking her lips as if a very delicious meal were in front of her.

Since this was her first time harvesting fruits and vegetables by herself, she couldn't contain her excitement. She happily picked some eggplants and put them in a basket. Next were the lentils that caught her eyes. If the basket could only have more space, she wouldn't stop picking more vegetables.

She only realized that she had picked too much when she stopped and checked her basket. She got anxious thinking that they wouldn't be able to eat them all.
