The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 837

"I…" Sheryl stammered. All of a sudden, it was, as if, a cat had gotten Sheryl's tongue as she remembered the reason why she had to see Charles. She then eyed on Charles, embarrassed. "I… I came to ask for your help, Charles…"

Inside Sheryl's heart, she grew jittery as Charles would assume she only needed him for help.

"What happened?" When Charles finally heard Sheryl's true intention, his lips tugged upwards. 'Sheryl already trusts me enough to ask me for help… I shouldn't let her down, ' he thought.

"I…" Not knowing where to even start, Sheryl hesitated for a brief moment, collected herself together, and finally, answered Charles, "I… I want to borrow some money from you."

"How much do you need?" Charles inquired as he eyed on Sheryl.

"F-Five…" Despite feeling reluctant to even continue, Sheryl took a deep breath and threw the last amount of embarrassment she had in her body. She then uttered, "Five hundred thousand…"

The air felt heavy, and the room was silent. Standing up from his spot, Charles went over to his table, took out a credit card, and handed it over to Sheryl. "There's eight hundred thousand in this card. I intended to pay for Shirley's tuition with this card but, nevertheless, you may use it. I'll just add more cash into the card later on."

"No, you don't have to do that, Charles. This is more than enough for me and Shirley. Besides, her tuition doesn't cost so much money."

Suddenly asking Charles for help felt different for Sheryl. The feeling had turned into a burden. Regret filled Sheryl's whole body.

"Just take it," Charles remarked. "I want to give this to Shirley. She needs money for education and as my daughter, she deserves it."

"But…" Embarrassment then immediately took over Sheryl's body as she started to frown. Despite Charles being Shirley's father, the money he offered was just too much. Sheryl felt reluctant to accept it.

"I won't be taking 'no' for an answer." Taking Sheryl's hand into his, Charles then placed the card into Sheryl's hand. Sheryl wavered for a brief moment before she clenched her hand to a close. It delighted him that she finally took the card.

Once Sheryl had placed the card into her pocket, she glanced towards Charles and asked, "Why aren't you asking me the reason I need so much money?"

"I don't find the need to," Charles chuckled. "The purpose of why I work to earn money is to support you and our kids. Besides, fifty hundred thousand isn't such a big deal."

Heat shot up to Sheryl's cheeks as she uttered, "You know, I'll end up being spoiled if you keep being this good to me." Cheeks took on the color of roses and Charles couldn't help but grin at the sight he saw with his own eyes.

"My motivation in life is none other than being able to spoil both you and Shirley, you know?" Charles jested. Nevertheless, he meant every word he said.

"So…" Charles' tone suddenly turned somber. "What about Clark?"

Taking a seat down beside Sheryl, Charles continued his statement, "He's a boy so I think he should be trained in a rather harsh condition in order for him to become a true man."

Laughter escaped from Sheryl's lips. She then stated the reason why she needed the money urgently. Once done, she heaved, "Sue's in trouble and I'm the only one who can help her."

Turning to Charles, she continued with a bitter expression, "I'm her best friend and what kind of best friend would I be if I don't offer to even help her?"

Feeling Sheryl's determination, Charles nodded firmly and asked, "What do you intend on doing next?"
