The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 822

"Miss Xia, I am so sorry about what happened today!" Roger had no choice but to apologize in the place of Helin. Sheryl replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter and you don't need to apologize. I've already told you not to worry."

She took a glance at Helin and turned back to roger. "Happy birthday! I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave your celebration before your party starts. Goodbye!"

"Please, don't!" Roger rushed to stop her and asked her to stay. "The party's just about to start and you haven't had your slice of cake yet."

"I think Miss He would prefer I be out of your sight, yes?" Sheryl smiled. "I'm sorry that I didn't know today is your birthday. I'll bring a gift with me the next time we meet."

Sheryl looked at Roger and said, "You said you wanted a birthday party. I'm sure Miss He can make your dreams come true."

"Miss Xia! Miss Xia!"

Roger was unwilling to give up and wanted to be with Sheryl even though he knew that nothing could be done about it.

"Just let her go if she wants to! Why are you so desperate for her to stay?"

Helin stopped Roger. "I have good news!" she continued.

"Do you have any idea what you've done?"

Roger shouted at Helin in frustration.

"Of course I do!" Helin exclaimed. She confessed, "Roger, I fell in love with you at first sight. I'm always transparent with my affection towards you and I believe you're well aware of that fact, right?"

Roger stared at Helin, not knowing how to react to her feelings. "Why are you saying this?" he asked.

"You know very well in your heart that I have done so much for you all the years we've known each other. Do you really think that I have done all this because my intention is to be your 'little sister'?" She came closer to his face and continued, "I really don't know what you would think, but everything I did today was to tell her that you are mine; that I earned you. She shouldn't even think of you! Do you understand?"

Roger stared at Helin, worried that she would do reckless things to mess up the party, which would ruin everything he had come so far to achieve such as his fame and social status.

He smiled as he came forward to touch her hand and comforted her, "Helin, why are you angry all of the sudden?"

Helin once again sneered, "You know why, don't you?"

"Yes, I do," Roger nodded. "I know how you feel for me, but I treat you just as well, don't I? Even though no one dares to say it, we have done enough to show each other gratitude. I'm sure you also know how my heart is towards you, right?"

"Really?" Helin replied coldly, "I thought I was sure with how you felt before today. For all these years I stayed by your side quietly for the sake of your fame, so that we would not cause any rumors and controversy. But today, when I saw you get mad over some stupid amateur model, I came to realize that I did not know you at all. I mean nothing to you and you promise me nothing!"

"Helin, you misunderstood me!"

Roger frowned, "I was angry not because I liked Miss Xia, but because I didn't want to displease her!"

"A small model? Do you think I'll believe you?" Helen sneered. "Roger, if you want to lie to me, come up with a better lie."

"I'm telling you the truth," Roger explained with a bitter smile. "Do you see that man over there?"
