The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 723

Anthony was stunned silent. A subtle smirk crept up Sue's face as she moved to leave Anthony behind where he stood.

Albeit hesitantly, Anthony found himself grabbing her arm. "Sue, just wait here, ok? I'll go buy them for you."

Before Sue could stop him, he was already walking away.

Given Sue's injured foot, he felt it his responsibility to take care of this for her. 'I just have to buy some necessities. I can do that, can't I?' he told himself.

'Besides, the supermarket would be pretty dead by then, ' he thought.

Luckily for Anthony, there was one nearby.

As uncertain as he was, Anthony managed to look for something properly arrayed over the shelves he needed casually.

But another problem awaited him. The rows were filled with all kinds of napkins.

He stood there for a while, contemplating on the products — for all-day and all-night, some with wings and some without wings. 'What does that even mean?' Anthony, being the calculating man he was, decided to get one of every kind — a safety measure.

It took him everything to push down the redness creeping up his face as he heard a couple young girls snickering behind him.

'I'm a grown man, for goodness' sake, I can manage to buy some damn sanitary napkins on my own, ' he thought to himself, quite strongly.

The woman at the cashier was a tad uncertain as she was beeping the items in. "Sir… are you sure you're getting all of them?"

"Yes!" he almost squeaked. "Just please speed it up if you can," he added more properly. He couldn't help tapping his foot incessantly.

"Sir, are those for your girlfriend?" He heard from behind him. He stared at the two girls. "Those are too many for your girlfriend," one of them suggested.

"Oh, really?" Anthony felt his face warmed up.

The girls laughed — how amusing. They picked out a certain brand and kind of napkin for Anthony to buy.

"Wow, thank you," he didn't expect the help, but he was much more grateful for it than he'd ever care to admit. The bill was finally settled, and he could exit the whole situation.

He sighed deeply as he headed back to where Sue was waiting. He was still quite flushed.

As much as they helped him, he hoped to never see those young girls again.

He found Sue sat on the parterre, idly shining her shoes. Her feet must've been killing her.

Feeling concerned, Anthony offered to walk her home.

When they arrived at Sue's house, Anthony handed her the bag from the store. "Well, well, look at that. You must be quite experienced buying these," she teased.
