The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 85

"Don't worry. I'm confident about myself. If she chooses Sam over me, it means he is superior to me." Charles said humbly, as if to suggest that if Autumn chose him over Sam, it would be a great honor for him. This got Yvonne more angry and jealous.

"You don't have to belittle yourself, Charles. I think you're much better than Sam. I..." Yvonne got so excited that she held Charles's hand but Charles frowned a little.

"What are you doing?" Charles withdrew his hand from her and demanded, "Don't you dare forget who you are. I came here to see you only for your sister's sake. If you do anything that is out of line again, you cannot blame me for being rude!"

"I am serious, Charles. I really..." Yvonne didn't think Charles could be so cruel to her, so she went ahead and continued trying to sway his mind.

After all, nobody ever rejected her.

"Enough!" Charles interrupted and shouted at her. "I'm only going to say this one more time. I know what you're thinking, but I'm telling you loud and clear that even if I happen to break up with your sister, God forbid for any reason, I won't ever date you. You're just not my type. Am I clear?"

With a sneer, he added, "As you are Yvonne's sister, our paths will cross again. But remember, for me, you are only her sister. If you say those ridiculous words again, I promise I won't go easy on you anymore."

"..." It didn't occur to Yvonne that Charles would say such unkind words to her. She was terrified.

While the mood was a little awkward, the waiter came to serve. Yvonne bowed her head slightly and apologized, "Forgive me for being so abrupt, Charles. Let's hurry up and eat."

Charles maintained a straight face, and ignored her. He made his feelings clear to her and was also aware of her intentions now. After two bites of steak, he stood up and said, "I'm full. You take your time but I think I should leave."

"Charles!" Yvonne had just cut her steak and was about to eat it when Charles announced that he was leaving. Seeing that Charles was leaving, she requested him to stay a little longer.

"Can't you just stay here a little longer with me? I haven't finished my meal yet." She looked at Charles pitifully, but he was not ready to change his mind. "Sorry, my wife hasn't eaten yet. I came here because of her. Now that I've had my meal and made myself clear to you, it's time for me to go. I have to have dinner with my wife."

"Charles! Charles! Charles Lu!" No matter what Yvonne called him, Charles didn't look back. Autumn who was sitting close to the door hadn't order anything. As she looked up, she saw Charles walking towards her.

She paused for a moment before asking, "Aren't you eating with my sister? How did you finish so quickly?"

Charles finished his meal before she had started to order?

"I came out as soon as I finished my meal in case that is what you want to know. Let's go home. Come on." Charles said, smiling as he pulled up Autumn from her seat.

"But..." Autumn knitted her brows, worried that something was amiss.

"Come on. I'd like to eat some egg noodles cooked by you. Let's go back. Will you cook it for me?" Charles acted in a pettishly charming manner, and Autumn just nodded helplessly.

Walking out of the Red Rose Restaurant, Autumn kept asking Charles about his conversation with Yvonne. "Didn't you have dinner with Autumn? How did you come out so quickly? Did she say something out of line?

"Yes." Charles smiled at her and answered, "She said she likes me. She even asked me to dump you and go out with her. What do you think about that?"
