The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1077 Let Her Come Back

"Grandpa, please. Let Mom come back."

Charles had chosen to forgive Melissa, as she was his mother after all. He had an obscure memory of her from his childhood, but he remembered that she loved him with all her heart.

"I asked you because I wanted to know your opinion. I'll tell her later that you want her to come back," Gary said with a nod. He already knew what Charles was going to say, but this conversation was still necessary to clear things up.

"Grandpa, may I tell her myself?" Charles asked excitedly. "I haven't seen my mother for so long. I want to invite her back myself."

"Alright, she's your mother, after all. You've been separated for so many years, so now it's time for you two to rebuild your relationship. I think I shouldn't meddle in this matter."

After having thought about it for a while, Gary took out his phone from his pocket. "I called her that day, and luckily I got a record of her number, or else we'll have to wait for her to message us. Here it is. Go see her," Gary said.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I promise to get everything ready. I'll tell Sher. She knows how to deal with it. She won't tell this to others considering the Lu family's fame."

Charles knew why Gary didn't tell Sheryl. Gary wasn't sure if Sheryl would spread this news to others and cause damage to Shining Company.

"Okay then. Well that was all I wanted to say," Gary replied. Charles had figured out what worried his grandfather, so reassured him.

"I'm going downstairs then." Charles bid him goodbye and went on his way. For Charles' competitors in business, he was a fierce and cunning businessman, but for Gary, he was just a filial child. He would surely be kind to his mother as he was to his grandpa.

'Everything will get better,' Gary thought.

Meanwhile, Sheryl and their children were almost done eating when Charles arrived downstairs. The children immediately ran to Charles and asked, "Dad, what did Great-Grandpa tell you?" "Well, he told me there you will have a nice grandma to play with you. Would you like that?"

He had expected to meet his mother after they were separated for fifteen years. He was especially moved when Gary told him that his mother missed him so much.

"Grandma? That's great!" Shirley nodded happily. However, Clark was a little skeptical. He curiously asked, "What kind of Grandma?

I must see her first to see if I would like her or not." Charles chuckled at his son's response.

"Haha! What a smart boy! Okay, you can see her when she arrives; then you can tell me if you like her or not," he said. A boisterous laugh escaped his lips and he ruffled his son's hair. "Charles, who is this 'Grandma'? What did Grandpa tell you?" Sheryl asked. She was confused at Charles' weird words. In turn, Charles sat beside Sheryl at the dining table and told her everything. "Sher...let me tell you about it..."

When he finished his story, Sheryl also supported his decision. "It's time to let Mom come back," she said.

"Yes, and Grandpa gave me her phone number. I'm going to see her and ask her to live in Dream Garden. What do you think?" Charles asked Sheryl. Sheryl was the most important person to Charles, so he definitely had to get her approval on this matter.

"It's okay. Mom already suffered a lot in prison, so she deserves to spend the rest of her life in peace and happiness. Let me go with you Charles, I've never met her before, so I'd like to show her some respect."

Her husband thought that it was quite nice of her to offer that.

"Oh, it's really nice of you!" Charles beamed. He was really happy with Sheryl's response. He thought that his mother would be very happy to see his wife go with him. However, he was also worried about Sheryl. "You have really busy work in Cloud Advertising Company, right? Will this affect your work?" he asked.

"Don't worry. I can finish my work at night. The most important thing now is the meeting with Mom," Sheryl reassured him. She was such a kind woman that she was willing to please everyone, even if it often caused her trouble.

"Sher, although the meeting with Mom is important, you shouldn't do it at the expense of your rest day. If you can't finish your work alone, you should ask your employees' help. As a boss, you should make the final review before giving the scheme to the clients," Charles advised. As an experienced boss, Charles knew if Sher did everything by herself, it would be harmful to her and the company in the long run.

"I also want to give the work to other designers, but the client requested me to do it this time. Don't worry, I will only be busy for several days. When the work is finished, I will rest at home to accompany Mom," Sheryl explained. Finally, Charles relented with a nod.

"Okay. You can do as you like this time but you must rest well later. I won't allow my wife to work so hard to earn money," he said. He was already satisfied with Sheryl's answer, so he didn't push her to change her decision.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I promise to do as you ordered!" Sheryl teased. Before Charles could retort back, she had already gone to the children.

"Clark and Shirley, let's have a bath and then go to bed!"

Although she had been busy with work recently, Sheryl was in a good mood. Charles couldn't help but smile widely as he watched the happy scene in front of him.

He felt so happy to have Sheryl with him. He believed that when his mother came back, their family would be perfect.

Later at night, Charles couldn't fall asleep because he kept thinking about his mother, who hadn't seen him for about 15 years. He wondered how she looked like after a lot of time had passed.

His desire to see her was so strong that he couldn't rest. He couldn't help but imagine his mother's face, and he was so ecstatic to regain his mother's love.

Minutes passed, and it was over one o'clock already. Sheryl slept soundly in the bed. She got too tired often recently and fell asleep quickly when her body hit the bed. Charles didn't want to bother her, so he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

He sighed deeply and tried to force himself to doze off. 'Sleep well. You will see your mother tomorrow. You've waited for fifteen years. Just bear this one last night and then you'll be reunited with her!' he internally persuaded himself.

The next morning was peaceful, and Charles had already finished washing before Sheryl woke up. She checked her phone on the nightstand and saw that it was only seven o'clock.

She turned to Charles, who was getting clothes from the closet. "Charles, why did you get up so early?" she asked.
