The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 795

Just as Sheryl was about to leave with Arthur, Sue rushed to them, mumbled an apology, and hid behind Laura.

With how things had turned out, she really had no idea what else to do other than to say "sorry."

Sheryl didn't answer Sue, nor did she look at Anthony. She simply left. She briefly saw Carlson talking to Laura about something, but she couldn't hear what. As soon as she stepped out of the main gate of the police station, Anthony followed her.

He held her by the elbow, trying to stop her from leaving. "Sher, wait a second," he called out.

"Is there anything else?" she asked. Her tone was indifferent. Her eyes didn't give away much, but he knew she was hurt.

Looking at her, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

When they were a couple, they used to be so close. But now, while he couldn't point out the exact reason, there was a huge wall between them.

"How dare you talk to her? Don't you feel just even a little bit ashamed?" Arthur spat, placing himself in front of Sheryl to shield her from Anthony. "I haven't settled things that happened in the past with you. You should be thankful that I didn't hunt you down. Yet you again caused such a huge mess, and you have the audacity to face Sher? Do you really think you can just bully our family as much as you want?"

"Grandpa Arthur, I..." Anthony began, shame flashing on his face. Although he couldn't answer Arthur's questions, he really wanted to talk to Sheryl.

"You what?" Arthur cut him off. "In the past, I believed in you and trusted you. I thought you were a responsible and caring man. But now? All I see is a coward. I will never let someone like you get close to Sher. Don't you ever think you can be with her again.

I'll let you go this time, but only out of respect for your grandfather. If you ever come near Sher again, you won't like what I'll do. I will not hesitate even if your grandfather was my friend." He sneered at Anthony, his nerves on fire with anger.

Anthony tried to explain, hoping he'd be able to talk despite Arthur's anger. "Grandpa, I know I did wrong today. But I'm not thinking of doing anything but just talk. I just want to talk to Sheryl. That's all."

"Talk? What could you possibly want to talk about with Sher?" He brushed off Anthony's request and continued, "Sher is better off without you. Go home and keep an eye on that evil mother of yours. Tell her to keep away from my granddaughter. That is the best you can do."

"Grandpa Arthur..." Anthony insisted. He felt ashamed that he did not know how to continue. He knew he didn't deserve a chance to talk but he needed to, so he did the last thing he could think of and turned to Sheryl. "Sher, please. I..."

He paused to gather his strength and continued, "I just want to talk. Even just for a little while."

Sheryl just stared at him with vacant eyes. She couldn't find anything worth talking to Anthony for. But despite the hurt she was feeling, she couldn't help but want to hear what he had to say. She turned to her grandfather and touched his arm in comfort. "Grandpa, could you wait for me in the car? I want to hear what he has to say. I promise I'll be with you soon."

"Sher..." Arthur looked at Sheryl, as if begging her to see reason. Although he was certain that there was nothing left between the two of them to discuss, he listened to Sheryl's wishes and decided to leave them to talk. "If that's what you want. But make it quick."

Sheryl nodded in agreement. "I will."
