The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 962

Sue lowered her head shyly as she explained, "Actually, aside from having dinner with you, I came here today to give you this."

She took out a wedding invitation card and handed it to Sheryl. "Anthony and I are getting married, and our wedding date has been decided. It will be next month. I hope that you will be there."

"You're getting married next month? Isn't it too soon? I can't believe it!" exclaimed Sheryl. The news came as a little overwhelming.

Sue smiled faintly and said, "When I went back to M City to visit Anthony's grandparents and his other relatives, we decided to get married. They were happy about it and started to help us go through all the preparations. As you know, my belly is bulging because the baby in my womb grows each day. Anthony's mother was worried that it would be an inconvenience for a pregnant woman like me to hold the wedding later. So we decided to schedule it next month."

She stopped and looked at Sheryl to check how she was taking it. "I know it seems so soon, but the good news is that I don't need to worry about the arrangements for the wedding. Anthony's family has already taken care of all the preliminary work and even the small details."

Sheryl nodded slightly. Seeing the heartfelt smile on Sue's face, she could feel happiness emanating from her. She was pleased and relieved at the same time.

"Sue, I am really happy for you. I would definitely give you a big gift on your wedding day," she advised sincerely.

"Any gift will be okay. Your presence will be more important," Sue responded. "I also hope that you can come with Charles. It will be a real blessing if both of you could come."

Sue felt a little worried about her request. She could not help but query with a concerned tone, "Sher, I know there have been some misunderstandings between Charles and Anthony. I know that he may still have some grudges against him. But now that we're getting married, would you..."

"Don't worry about it," Sheryl interrupted. "I would discuss it with Charles." Her comforting tone made Sue felt better. Just then, the waiter came to serve their meal, so they stopped talking. After the dinner was served, Sheryl started to discuss how Sue should eat more to ensure the good development of the baby inside her womb. What was more, she expressed how happy she was that she finally found someone who would take care of Sue and her baby. It was a great meal.

When they finished, Isla went straight back to the office. Meanwhile, Sheryl insisted on sending Sue back since she wanted to make sure she would get home safe and sound. She had no way to refuse Sheryl's kindness, so she accepted.

After getting in the car, Sheryl asked Sue, "Mimi, I have been inquiring about the whereabouts of your mother and brother these past few days, but there is no news at all. I am worried that they will still come after you, if they know where you are now."

"I know." Sue seemed to have thought about the same before. She nodded with a bitter smile, unable to keep her comments to herself, "They are like ravenous wolves. They will surely claw at me to gain more benefits once they know that I am to marry Anthony. They wouldn't just sit back to watch me have a good life."

"So, what are you going to do?" Sheryl asked with a frown. "You are currently pregnant. If they find you and approach you at this time, would it have any negative impact on you and your marriage?"

"It is okay. I won't allow that to happen." Sue tried her best to put Sheryl at ease. "I mostly stay at Anthony's house. I hardly go out so it will not be easy for them to find me. Besides, I will take good care of myself. Also, you can be rest assured that Anthony and his mother will take care of me."

"Well, you are right." Sheryl nodded in agreement. She felt less anxious now. "All you have to do now is to be a beautiful bride on your wedding day and give birth to a healthy and lovely baby."

She then muttered to herself, "I wonder whether it's going to be a boy or a girl, so that I could prepare an appropriate gift for the baby."

Hearing this, Sue laughed, "Take your time. You can wait till the baby is born. The expected date of confinement is not until next year. There will still be plenty of time for you to prepare the gift."
