The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 699

Kitty hired someone to check on Charles' and Sheryl's whereabouts. She was on tenterhooks while waiting for the result. After a short while, the man she sent came back. "What did you get? Have you found out where they are?" Kitty asked eagerly the moment she saw him. She was like a cat on hot bricks.

"Mr. Lu and his son's current location is just five minutes drive away from here. Sheryl and her daughter are with them, too. According to the staff that I have talked with, Mr. Lu ordered a square meal so there is no doubt that he is currently having lunch with Sheryl and the two children," the man said all in one breath.

"Rubbish!" Kitty shouted at him. "Everything you said is completely useless! I can even guess those things with my eyes closed. What I want to know is Charles' exact location right now and when he is coming back." She was enraged beyond measure.

"Well... that..." The man stole a sheepish glance at Kitty while fumbling for words. "That is something beyond my capacity. Mr. Lu is the biggest shareholder of this resort so no one dares to pry into his private life."

"Trash!" Kitty raged at the futility of it all.

She had spent a lot of time and efforts dressing herself up to look stunning in the eyes of Charles, hoping to catch his attention. 'I can possibly lure him into bed if things go well for me. But how can I do it if I can't even have the opportunity to see him in person? What am I supposed to do?' she thought to herself, feeling distraught.

"Kitty, just calm down. Don't panic," the models around Kitty advised. They tried their best to comfort her when they saw her at a loss. "Since it was Mr. Lu who brought us here, he will definitely show up. Let's just wait for him."

"How long do we have to wait? If we just stay put and do not make a move, that whore Sheryl will definitely win Charles' heart," Kitty said. She was already fretful.

She really couldn't figure out what was so attractive in Sheryl that both Charles and Anthony were bewitched by her.

Sheryl had no inkling of what was happening to Kitty and the other models because she was enjoying the moment with Charles. After lunch, Charles led her and the two kids to the juicy peach orchard. Sheryl found the resort extremely large. The back hill was full of ripe and mellow peaches, which emanated an enticing aroma.

Shirley was elated to see so many peaches. She screamed that she wanted one. Charlie immediately picked one big red peach from a nearby tree and put it into her mouth after peeling it.

Shirley took a bite. Its flesh melted immediately and the juice filled her mouth. The sweetness lingered between her teeth. She then held the peach up to Charlie's mouth and motioned him to take a bite as well. Charlie hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to take a small bite. After that, he ruffled her hair affectionately and pushed the peach back to her gently. He said, "I have eaten my fill. You should have some more."

Shirley smiled contentedly upon hearing Charlie's words.

Charles initially planned to take them to climb a mountain after picking peaches but Shirley was already exhausted from jumping and running around the orchard. So they had no choice but to retrace their steps back to the resort. There, they ran into Alice.

Alice did a double take when she caught sight of Charles and Sheryl. She asked in bewilderment, "Mr. Lu, Miss Xia, why are you back so early? The party at night is still hours away."

Charles had already arranged a barbecue party for the models later at night. It would be held at the pool side.

"Because Shirley is tired," Sheryl smiled politely. "We planned to go mountaineering but Shirley and Charlie are now resting in the room. Since they are still kids, I worry about their safety so we decided not to pursue it," she explained.

Then Sheryl asked, "Are you going out?" Alice took a glance at Charles. She had a brainwave.

"Miss Xia, if you don't mind, you can entrust the two kids to David and me," she suggested with a reassuring smile.

"You seldom visit here so you should have a whale of a time. Anyway, it will also be a very good chance for me and David to practice taking care of children in advance."
