The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 955

"Thanks a lot. It's enough," Sheryl said.

Judging from Cary's words, George had always been an obedient child before he met Holley. He changed completely after he met her. His mother was never pleased with Holley, her future daughter-in-law. However, Sheryl was still unable to determine why she had not done anything to separate these two.

She was aware that George's mother was quite important for her plan.

If she opposed the relationship between Holley and George, she would be of help to Sheryl. She could use George's mother as a weapon against Holley.

"Here we are," Cary announced as he drove Sheryl to Dream Garden. "If there is anything else that you need, please don't hesitate to tell me. I will be there to help you."

"Actually, the only thing that I need you to do is," she started, "to help me take care of Susan. She is so naive and innocent that she could be easily fooled by Holley."

She gave a faint smile and continued, "I can see that she's not hitting it off with you, though, she does not know you very well. So please don't take what her words seriously."

"Don't worry." Cary smiled and reassured her, "I won't haggle over her words."

"That would be great!" Sheryl said gladly. She got out of the car, and as she closed the car door, she told him, "It's too late. Forgive me for not inviting you to come in. Come back for dinner next time."

"It's alright, Sheryl," he nodded. "Get in quickly. Don't make Charles wait." He waved goodbye, and then started his engine.

She watched Cary leaving until she couldn't see his car anymore. She immediately went inside the house and was about to turn on the light when she felt two arms wrapped around her waist.

She got startled, but calmed down immediately when she caught his familiar scent. "It's so late. Why are you still up?" she asked as she tried to hold back a smile.

His hold grew tighter. She could feel his warm breath at the back of her neck as he answered from behind her head, "I got used to sleeping with you. How could I sleep well when you're not here?"

"How did you sleep the past three years?" she teased.

"I didn't need to think about anything when I got drunk. Then I would be fine," Charles described.

Sheryl's heart was broken at his response. She flipped the light's switch on, and looking at Charles, she said, "Charles, I..."

"Nancy made your favorite shrimp wonton. Would you like some?" Charles changed the subject and interrupted her thoughts.

"No, I'm good." Sheryl shook her heard lightly. "I've already had dinner. I don't feel hungry now.

How are the kids?" Sheryl was so busy these past few days she had not been able to take care of their two kids that much. She planned to accompany them today, originally, but it turned out that she came back so late.

"They are both asleep," Charles answered. "Let's go upstairs and rest, too."

They went upstairs together. Charles could not wait until he had her in his arms. Sheryl had to tap his hand the moment she felt his arms around her again. "Come on. Aren't you feeling tired right now?" she joked.

"Sher, I want..." Charles' voice had a certain charm to it, which caused her to fall limp in an instant. It was useless to refuse, so she allowed him to do as he pleased.

The room was well-lit. Suddenly, a soft voice called out from the other side of the bedroom, "Sher."

Sheryl was shocked to hear Shirley's voice that she instantly broke off from Charles' embrace. She swallowed nervously and straightened her clothes before turning her head to look at her. Shirley was in her pajamas, barely rubbing her eyes, while Clark was also standing beside her.
