The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 948

"By the way, how should I call you, sir?" Jeremy asked Cary carefully as he was afraid of offending him.

Cary was surprised for a while. Then he realized that he forgot to introduce himself. Thus, he immediately replied, "Oh! I was totally blown-away by Mrs. Su's delicious dumplings that I even forgot to introduce myself. My name is Cary Su. I'm Susan's friend."

"Cary Su," repeated Jeremy. Then he smiled and said, "What a coincidence. We have the same last name!"

"Right! Maybe we were a family five hundred years ago!" joked Cary. He was socially-skilled and his humorous remarks made Jeremy smile from ear to ear. Susan, however, wore a long face as she was unimpressed by him.

Cary didn't stay any longer. He turned to the aged man next to him and said, "Uncle Jeremy, I can finally relax since you are already here to take care of Susan." Then he smiled, "I have something else to deal with. Thus, I need to get moving."

"No problem. Go ahead!" Jeremy smiled back and replied. Then he said, "We want to invite you to dinner in our home. Come to our house when you are available. I'll have Susan's mother prepare a lot of dishes for you!"

"Thanks! I'll come for sure," Cary promised. Before he left, he also bid farewell to Susan who was still lying in bed with a sullen face. "I'll see you soon, Susan. If you have any problem, just call me!"

"Just leave my room!" Susan replied impatiently.

Jeremy gave her a reprimanding glare, very unsatisfied with her rude attitude. He then walked Cary out to the doorway. After a while, he closed the door and turned to Susan. His excitement was all over his face when he asked, "Susan, who is he? He looks good and he is also very polite. What's your relationship with him? When did you know each other? Why didn't you tell us before?"

Jeremy bombarded Susan with a series of questions. He recalled everything Cary had done and couldn't help feeling that he was a good lad. If his daughter could have a boyfriend like him, he would ask for nothing more.

However, Susan didn't have a good impression on Cary. She believed that Cary was just a rich second generation who knew nothing else but to seek pleasure. She despised such kind of person. Thus, she curled her lips and complained, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't have anything to do with him. We are not even friends!"

"Don't try to lie to me!" Jeremy didn't buy what she said at all. He frowned and tried to prove his suspicion. Then he asked Susan, "If you are really not a couple, then why was he spoon feeding you porridge just now?"

The question instantly rendered Susan speechless.

It took her a few seconds to finally force a smile. "I have nothing to explain. In other words, I don't have anything to do with him. Your efforts are useless!"

"Susan!" Jeremy's tone came out deep and serious. He sat on the edge of her bed and said, "Your mother and I didn't want you to have a relationship before because you were still a student. However, you have already graduated and you are old enough to start a new period in your life now. It's time for you to have a boyfriend and even get married. I think the boy, Cary Su, matches you really good. Can't you just consider him?"

A deep sigh escaped his chest before he continued, "Your mother and I were so scared when we heard about your accident. You could have avoided being hurt if only there had been a man to protect you. If you really like him, just tell us. You don't need to be shy and even lie to us."

"Dad..." Susan frowned. She couldn't understand why her father assumed that. She had explained to him clearly that it was impossible to have something between Cary and her.

One short sigh and she decided to make her father give up the idea. "For the last time, it is impossible to have something between me and Cary. Forget it!"
