The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 744

"Junia," Sue read the name flashing on Anthony's cell phone screen. She gave Anthony a questioning look and asked, "Who's Junia?"

Anthony dragged her into his arms and teased, "What? Are you jealous?"

"Yes, I am," Sue admitted. She turned to look at him with serious eyes and added, "I can tell this is a woman, judging from her name. She calls you relentlessly, even when you're here with me, at my house. Is she your mistress?"

Anthony looked at her incredulously. "What utter nonsense are you talking about?" He frowned slightly. He hesitated for a moment and said, "She is the daughter of my mother's friend. I came to Y City with mom and her this time. Even if I just consider her as my sister, my mom thinks she would be a perfect choice for my wife. My mom has probably caused new trouble for me. Maybe that's why she's calling."

"Is she pretty?" Sue asked, ignoring his explanation. She put a slice of watermelon into his mouth while leaning against his chest, waiting for his answer.

"Yes," Anthony replied honestly.

Sue couldn't help but feel sour with his response. All along she thought that Sheryl was the only one trying to put a distance between Anthony and her, but now she realized, there was even another woman, Junia.

'His mother doesn't like Sheryl, so she might not like me either, ' Sue thought.

"Anthony." Sue raised her head and looked at Anthony. He hadn't shaved for days and was now sporting a shadow on his chin.

"What's up?" He lowered his head and looked at Sue.

"How do you..." she stammered. "How would you define our relationship?" Sue couldn't quite believe she mustered the courage to ask Anthony that. But it had been bothering her for a while. What they had confused her and she just needed to know how he felt.

Anthony was stunned. To be honest, he often came to Sue's place because he felt at ease here and he could do anything as he pleased.

He didn't quite know how to answer her question because he had never thought about it. So he tried to dodge the question. "What kind of relationship do you think we have?"

"I..." Sue felt a little sad because she didn't get the answer she wanted to hear. But she understood that Anthony couldn't possibly forget Sheryl in one night, so she tried to find peace with it again.

'I can wait, ' she said to herself.

Tamping down her feelings, she smiled at Anthony and asked, "Do you mean you will agree if I want to take our relationship further?"

Anthony frowned but nodded reluctantly.

Sue smirked as she coyly slid her hand in his pants. Anthony groaned and held her by the waist, dragging her to the bedroom.

After they made love, they remained in bed, exhausted yet satiated. "How about we visit your mom together?" Sue started to ask.

"What brought on this idea?" Anthony asked, his voice filled with surprise.

Sue poked his chest. "You agreed, remember?" she reminded. "You nodded when I said I wanted our relationship to go further." She leaned against his chest and continued, "I think we're already at that phase of our relationship where I could go with you to visit your mom as your future wife."

She gave him a small smile. "I haven't gotten the chance to treat your mom these past few days. But now, I feel better and my foot feels fine. I should at least spend some time with her, don't you think?"

"We can talk about this later," Anthony snapped. He pushed the quilt away, dragging his feet off the bed. Sue's words caused his chest to tighten. He managed to put on his pants and walked out of the room, leaving Sue in shock.
