The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 956

Jumping onto the bed and hiding behind Sheryl, Clark said to Charles in a challenging tone, "I'll sleep with Mom tonight."

Clark was very independent for a little child, and he had slept alone for a long time. However, sleeping with his mother suddenly struck his fancy—a spontaneous thought.

In truth, he wanted to sleep with his mother because he was worried about Shirley.

Irritated by Clark's words, Charles scolded Clark with anger, "You brat. I can't even sleep with her. How dare you sleep here instead? Get off the bed or else I'll..."

Charles was about to snatch Clark off the bed but Sheryl stopped him.

She wore a warm smile as she looked up at Charles. "Let him stay here."

Sheryl felt guilty about rarely being around for Clark. She owed him too much; whenever he was sick, or when he wanted to talk about school, she wasn't there for him. And so she wanted to give Clark a chance to do what he wanted.

It was the first time that Clark had requested to sleep with her anyway. She couldn't and didn't want to say no to him.

"How would that work?" Charles frowned and then went on, "Anyway, he is a boy, and I can't allow that."

Charles rolled up his sleeves and said to Clark, "Brat, I'm warning you, come down while I can still control myself, otherwise I'll sort you out."

"No!" Clark piped up, still hiding behind Sheryl. He wore a pleased smile and playfully stuck out his tongue at Charles, making Sheryl realize that no matter how old he was and no matter how mature he seemed to be, he was still under the age of four, childish and very innocent.

Sheryl giggled and then pulled Clark into her arms. "Don't worry, Clark," she told him. "As long as I'm here with you, he won't dare bully you." She nodded as to close the deal on her promise to him.

With Sheryl's promise and protection, Clark felt freer to provoke Charles. Annoyed, Charles pointed to Clark and said in pretend anger, "I tell you. If you stay on the bed, I will take a photo of you sleeping with your mom, and then I will send the photo to your class chat group. Imagine all your mates knowing that you still sleep with your mom at your age. They'll all laugh at you!"

"How dare you!" Clark was shocked and a little scared as he thought about his classmates. 'If the other people make fun of me including Shirley, how will I build up my image and reputation?'

"Are you scared?" Charles looked at Clark with a triumphant smile. "Come out now if you're scared! Quickly!"

Clark was thinking about different countermeasures. Finally, he flashed Charles a smirk. "If you show a picture of me sleeping with Mom to my class group, then I'll show a picture of you sleeping naked to your job group so all your employees will know how you look like when you're sleeping!"

"You dare threaten me?!" Charles was so angry that his face turned white, as Clark's had a few minutes before. Sheryl was amused, hearing that their threats were simply copies of the other's. She laughed.

Coming down from her laughter, Sheryl talked to Charles who was in front of her, "Charles, I recommend you to go to sleep in study merely for keeping up your president image."

"You…" Charles couldn't believe that Sheryl was taking Clark's side and turned to leave. When he closed the door behind him, he heard his wife and son giving a joyful cheer.

Charles couldn't help but smile.

The happiness that he wanted was probably like this.
