The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 769

Sue smiled politely and replied, "I may not come from an influential family, but at least I truly love him. I think you know well that I love Anthony very much."

"I know. I can see that." Laura nodded slightly and added, "Although the family background is an important criterion for me in choosing my son's future wife, I find being kindhearted as the most essential character that the girl should have to listen to my son wholeheartedly."

"I promise to do it, Aunt Laura." Sue continued persuading Laura with a smile, "Aunt Laura, I admit I have less edge as a candidate for Anthony's future wife. But I know him for a longer time compared with the other girls so I can understand him more. And..."

She paused for a while and then continued, "I am the only woman who can help him ease the pain he got from his relationship with Sheryl."

"What do you mean?" Laura frowned upon hearing Sheryl's name.

"I think you are aware that I have a special relationship with Anthony." The only purpose Sue came to Laura was to make her approve her date with Anthony so she could reveal their special relationship.

"Yes." Laura nodded in agreement. She already knew that Sue and Anthony had lived together. "Of course I know that. I'm not young and dumb after all."

"Aunt Laura, I think I should tell you something more honestly." Sue heaved a deep sigh and added, "You know about Anthony's deep feelings towards Sheryl, right? He must have argued with you a lot for Sheryl's sake."

"What do you mean?" Laura asked her in a serious tone.

"Don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything." With a smile on her face, Sue continued, "Anthony was displeased with you as you were too harsh with Sheryl before. If you continue to intervene in his personal life, I'm afraid your relationship with him will get worse."

Having some thought of what to say next, she continued, "If you allow Anthony to be with me, I will help you resolve your conflict. You know Anthony's temper, right? He would be swayed."

Hearing what Sue mentioned, Laura felt the need to consider and think of it.

Honestly, she thought of Sue's words as reasonable.

Laura had destroyed Anthony and Sheryl's relationship, so he would hate her if she also interfered in his relationship with Sue.

Sue was not as good as Sheryl, but she had an acceptable character so she was not a bad candidate either. What mattered most for Laura was that Sue was always on her side, which made her more satisfied with Sue than Sheryl.

"Are you sure you can?" Laura asked Sue with a frown on her face.

"At least it is worth a try. Why not give it one, right?" Sue answered with a decent smile.

With a hesitating look on her face, Laura finally said, "To be honest, you are not good enough for Anthony."

She inspected Sue carefully and continued, "Yes you have a pretty face, but what else can I add to that?"

Sue showed no irritation with her words, instead, she kept quiet and listened to her words carefully.

Laura added, "But I prefer you to Sheryl. Okay, I'll do what you said. I won't involve myself in your relationship with Anthony."

"Thank you, Aunt Laura!" Sue said cheerfully as she had solved one big problem. Now, the only task left of her was to earn Anthony's heart.

"It's not time to get happy yet." Laura glimpsed at Sue and said, "Yes, Anthony has slept with you but I can tell he doesn't love you. If you want to get his heart, you have to work harder as there is still a long journey for you to go."
