The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 891

Anthony smiled profoundly and started confessing wholeheartedly, "Therefore, Sue, my love for you is pure and sincere, and I have made up my mind to be with you. I know I have made a lot of mistakes and have treated you wrong and I want to apologize for all of these that hurt you. I want to know if you are still willing to love me as you did like before?"

"I..." Sue paused as her voice trailed off. She smiled bitterly. If Anthony had said these to her before, her heart would be overjoyed. She would be blissfully happy.

But she could not bring herself to give him a response. She couldn't think clearly. Millions of thoughts were running in her head, clouding her mind.

She focused her gaze at Anthony and shook her head. "I don't know.

I can't think straight right now. I am kind of confused. Give me some time." Sue felt a throbbing headache as she tried hard to contemplate about it.

"Hey, no problem. It is alright. Take your time," Anthony reassured her, without a hint of disappointment even though he was turned down. He didn't want to push her. Instead, he soothed and comforted her, "I can wait no matter how long you need to."

"I want to go home." Sue bolted from her seat, came to her feet and then hurriedly walked outside. She couldn't wait to leave the place. She felt like she would have a nervous breakdown if she stayed any longer. The pressure was tearing her apart.

"I will drive you home," Anthony offered, almost jumping to his feet.

Realizing that he was also with his mother, he glanced at her who was sitting next to him. Laura threw him a knowing look. She understood what his son was worried about, so she suggested, "Go ahead. You send her back first. I need to walk around and buy something. You can pick me up later."

"Thanks, mom. I'll be back." Anthony ran after Sue. He broke in a cold sweat at the sight of the scene playing over by the door. Sue stumbled and nearly got her foot twisted. He dashed to Sue as if his life depended on it and held her, "Watch out! Are you all right? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"I'm fine." Sue shook her head. She was deeply touched by Anthony's kind gesture; his frightened expression, the concerned look and, the caring eyes when he ran towards her. This was the first time someone genuinely cared about her.

"Really? Are you sure?" Anthony probed, still worried about her. Finally, he was only assured of when Sue repeatedly confirmed that she was all right. He wanted her to stay longer but with her insistent demand, he could only send her to Zhao family house. "If there is anything you need or any food you want to eat, just call me. I'm on call 24/7. And one more thing, remember to follow the recommended schedule for regular pregnancy check-ups. I will accompany you to the hospital," Anthony reminded her when they arrived at the villa.

"Okay." Sue nodded agreeably. When she was about to open the door, Anthony called her in a voice soft with affection, "Sue..."

"What?" Sue instinctively turned around to face him.

"What do you think of this? How about you move in to live with me. You can't stay here forever, right?" Anthony inquired with a serious frown masking his face. His voice sounded slightly pleading but in a courteous manner.

Sue hesitated and smiled faintly. After a moment's reflection, she replied, "Let's talk about it later or some other time."

Sue patiently stood in front of the gate and waited until Anthony's car was out of her sight. When she came in, she only then realized that Sheryl was also there.

Sheryl ran to her and took her hands as soon as she appeared at the front gate. Then she giddily started recounting to her the things happened in Cloud Advertising Company. She noted that Sheryl's face beamed with excitement. It was so infectious that she couldn't help being influenced by Sheryl's vibrant and bubbly mood.

But being a sensitive person, Sheryl soon noticed the depression disguised by her smile. She studied Sue carefully and prompted gently not wanting to sound pushy, "What happened, Sue? How are you feeling today? Are you sick?"

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm just a little distracted." Sue tried to cheer herself up and she grinned at Sheryl. "Don't worry about me. I'll be better tomorrow."

"Don't lie to me. I can tell that by simply looking at you. You are absolutely not fine. Come on, what happened?" With Sheryl's insistence, Sue reluctantly told her everything that transpired earlier that day.

If truth be told, she didn't know what to do herself. She was totally confused and helpless so she was not expecting an answer from Sheryl. She just wanted to share her worries with someone, to get these things off her chest, to ease herself so she could finally feel better.

"How do you think of him now?" After Sheryl patiently listened to Sue's whole story, she asked Sue.

"I honestly don't know." Sue shook her head while shrugging her shoulders. "There are a lot of things in my mind now. I don't know whether I should trust him or not," Sue confessed frankly.
