The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 842

Sheryl gave a smile at Isla and said that she trusted Charles too well to fall a prey to her false alarms. Then she said, "That day will never come Isla. Charles is not that kind of person. I believe in him."

Sheryl's confidence in Charles reassured Chris and Isla. They felt that even if she was taking time, she was still on the right track.

However, they were a little disheartened that their combined effort to get Sheryl back with Charles had failed. Since she was so stubborn, Isla couldn't do anything with her, but changed the topic of discussion to work. Isla stared at Sheryl and said, "It's up to you. Nobody can make a decision for you. But Sher, don't you think that as a boss, you should take more responsibilities in your company now?"

Isla raised her voice. "Recently, the company is going through a good phase. Everybody works around the clock, including me. I work overtime every night, while you are working at some other company and that too as an employee! What do you take me for? This is so unfair!"

Isla pretended to be angry. "Sheryl, I tell you. If you don't return to the company as soon as possible, I will quit! I will put it all behind just like you! I have helped you for three years, for which I have even postponed my plans to have a second child."

Isla continued in the same angry tone, "You are so lucky to have twins, a son and a daughter and that too at one go. I really admire you. Though I have Amanda already, I also want to have a son. Aron also feels that we should have both son and daughter to complete the family. We want a second child so much! So you can imagine how much I have sacrificed for you!"

"Yes, yes! I know! You have sacrificed and contributed a lot to the company. Thank you so much! Are you satisfied now?" Sheryl joked with her, thinking that Isla was more eloquent than three years ago. She could connect different things together to make up for a reasonable excuse.

Sheryl took Isla's hands and said sincerely, "I know you helped me a lot during my absence. Without your efforts, our company could not have developed so fast, or even worse it might have closed down already. Charles told me that the company has grown much bigger than before. I will always remember your devotion. I can never deny that."

"Beautiful words don't work for me." Isla took a glance at Sheryl. "How are you going to thank me?"

Sheryl smiled. "Okay. How about this? You tell me what you want."

Isla's eyes went bright. "My daughter Amanda likes your son Clark very much. So I think, maybe they can make a good couple in the future! Why not we get them married to each other after they grow up? How do you think of this idea?"

"Well..." Sheryl frowned. Isla's proposal was acceptable for her. However, she could not promise her right now because nobody knew what future had in store for them.

She stared at Isla and hesitated. "Isla, I think this is a good idea. Even I like Amanda. But I can't make such an important decision for Clark at this moment. Who knows what will happen in the future? So I think it's still too early to arrange a marriage for the kids. As long as they love each other after they grow up, I will surely support their marriage!"

"I'm just joking! Look at your serious face. Ha-ha!" Isla chuckled. Then she heaved a sigh. "In fact, I just want to be Clark's sworn mother. You also know how much I am desperate to have a son. It's like a cherished wish for me that I will have my own son soon."

"No problem. Of course you can. Do you need my permission for that?" Sheryl agreed to her request immediately and smiled with a sigh of relief.

As the ladies continued with their talk, the guests arrived and everybody took their seat. The atmosphere was joyful and happy.

It felt like happy days had returned for the Zhao and Lu families. Charles and Sheryl had gone through some of the most roughest patch of their lives. But fortunately everything was getting better slowly. They had come together once again. Moreover, they had a pair of lovely kids, which was comforting enough for the people who cared about them.
