The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 958

Little did Heron knew what his daughter was going to do. She didn't even care about the consequences of her bold move.

"Miss Xia, so you can understand me, right?" Helin said seriously, looking at Sheryl. "I know that it sounds crazy but you have to do something crazy when you are young. Otherwise, you'll only regret not doing so once you're old. I don't want to have regrets when I'm old."

"So what do you want me to do?" asked Sheryl. She had been listening to the lady but still couldn't understand what Helin was asking her to do.

"Miss Xia." Helin forced a smile and looked at Sheryl. Then she said, "Since that night, Roger has been avoiding me. I want to propose to him but... he doesn't wish to see me now."

She quickly grabbed Sheryl's hand and continued, "I know that you are a benefactor of Roger. he will definitely come to see you as soon as you call him. Moreover, you are a planner and I want you to plan my proposal."

Helin paused for a while before opening her mouth again. "My birthday will be in a few days and I would like to hold a wonderful birthday party. There will be a lot of media coming there. Thus, I want to arrange the proposal on that same day."

She was staring at Sheryl with her begging eyes. Her desperation was so real that one could almost taste it in the air. "Miss Xia, I have no choice. It is only you who can help me. Please!"

However, those actions made Sheryl hesitate for a long time. She swallowed hard to calm herself before saying, "Have you really thought about this? Aren't you afraid of getting turned down after getting all these things ready? What would you do in that case?"

A frown appeared on Sheryl's face as she thought, 'How come children aren't considering the consequences nowadays?' She shot Helin a questioning stare. "Have you ever thought that it would be you and your father who are going to be embarrassed if ever?"

"No." Helin stared at Sheryl with absolute conviction and said, "Roger has been avoiding me because my father doesn't agree with us. I believe that he still loves me. I believe that Roger would marry me as long as I could stand for him."

"He should be the one proposing to you first if he really loves you." Sheryl advised Helin to think twice because there would be no chance to regret if Helin would make a mistake.

"Does that even matter?" was Helin's unconcerned reply. "Nowadays, this society has promoted equality between men and women. It doesn't matter who proposes as long as we'll live happily in the future."

Helin resisted budging even after what Sheryl had said. Hence Sheryl couldn't help but smile wryly. "Fine, I agree," she said.

That answer from Sheryl made Helin instantly beam with happiness. "Don't worry, I will not owe you anything in terms of money. What you should do is to hold an amazing and wonderful birthday party. Moreover..."

Helin stopped for a second and then continued, "You must find Roger for me, please. My birthday will make no sense without him."

"I cannot promise you anything but I will try my best," Sheryl sighed. "I will call Roger. However, I wouldn't be able to do anything if he decides not to come."

Helin was suddenly dumbfounded. It took a few seconds before she was able to smile again. "No. He will come as long as it is you who would call him."
