The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1700 Kiss Another Woman

At first, Nancy panicked and was unable to answer. However, after analyzing the situation, she said coldly, "Miss Zhang, I am a servant of the Lu Family, not yours!"

"Nancy, am I not a member of the Lu Family?" Awakened by the sound coming from the first floor, Melissa went downstairs. She frowned when she heard Nancy arguing with Leila.

"My Lady, what can I do for you?" Lowering her head, Nancy addressed Melissa as soon as she saw her approach.

"Go back to your room!" Melissa looked at Nancy with resentment.

At that moment, Melissa really wanted to dismiss Nancy. In fact, she had already made that decision long ago. As soon as Sheryl and Charles' divorce was finally settled, she would do everything in her power to make Leila become her daughter-in-law and then fire Nancy.

"Yes, My Lady!" Helplessly, Nancy could only look at the now-sleeping Charles. Then she went back to her room.

After Nancy left, Melissa whispered, "Leila, what are you going to do?"

"Aunt Melissa, please, go back upstairs and rest. I will send Sheryl a message to ask her to come and then..." Pausing, Leila left the rest of her intention hanging. Then, moving closer to Melissa, she whispered something to her.

Afterwards, Leila lowered her head shyly. She wasn't sure how Melissa would feel. But, Melissa patted Leila's back with satisfaction.

"Leila, I believe you can do it. Everything is in your hands now." Smiling, Melissa left and went upstairs.

Left alone, Leila started to work on her plan. She walked to where Charles was and called out his name softly. Drunk and unconscious, Charles did not respond.

Leila sighed with relief. Seeing the cell phone in Charles' hand, she made her next move. She took the cell phone. Fixing her gaze on Charles, she waited to see if he would wake up. When he did not stir, she sent Sheryl a message using his cell phone.

For the entire night, Leila didn't do anything but think about how Sheryl would catch them when she slept with Charles. The last time she planned this kind of move, Sheryl just saw Leila and Charles sharing the same bed. This time, what she wanted was for Sheryl to catch them in the act. So the message for Sheryl to come here would be very important.

Of course, the whole night was long enough for Leila to act on her plan.

Reading the words "successfully sent" on the cell phone, Leila took a deep breath. Everything was prepared. All she needed to do was wait for Sheryl's arrival.

Leila knew it would take Sheryl about an hour to reach Dream Garden. So, for the duration of the wait, she needed to make Charles do something with her. She wanted to make sure that she would end up as Charles' woman.

Even in his sleep, Charles was handsome. Leila had been crazy for his attractive features for a long time now. She fell in love with him the first time she saw him.

In Sheryl's residence...

Preparing to go to bed, Sheryl heard her cell phone beep. She didn't want to read messages anymore. But for no reason, she still picked the cell phone up and opened the message. Reading the message made her restless.

It was from Charles, and it was quite long. After reading it, Sheryl became lost in her thoughts. Not long after, she got up, put on her clothes, and then headed to Dream Garden.

Though there were many words, the message was quite simple. Charles simply wanted to see her. Sheryl could feel the affection in his words and, unable to bear hurting him, she chose to go to Dream Garder to see him.

"Sher, I have drunk too much today. I feel terrible. But do you know how much I love you? Do you know how sad I am after you said that you wanted a divorce? You don't know how heartbroken I am. I know I can't stop you from deciding what you think is best for you. Come to see me, okay? After this meeting, you can do whatever you want. I will listen to you."

This was the message. Sheryl truly wanted to see Charles. But, she forced herself to think that, as soon as she saw Charles, they could get a divorce and everything would end.

But deep in her heart, she knew she was just making up any reason to see Charles.

After one hour, Sheryl reached Dream Garden.

In the darkness of the night, Dream Garden looked terrifying. After all, it was halfway up a hill, so there was no light.

Though it was summer, the night was cool. Sheryl couldn't help but rub her arms. When she reached the gate, she found it open.

Sheryl hesitated for a while before going in. Although she knew Nancy was cautious, she tried not to overthink. She thought Charles went home late and Nancy had fallen asleep already. So, they had forgotten to close the gate.

While thinking of that, Sheryl walked to the main door. It was left ajar. Silently, Sheryl pushed the door wide open and entered the living room. Too loud in the middle of the silence, she heard deep breathing. Holding her breath for a little while and then releasing it slowly, she continued to walk towards the direction of the sounds. Suddenly, she froze. What she saw left her immobile. She was surprised to see Charles on the couch kissing Leila with all intensity.

Sheryl hated herself. Why did she have to see it so clearly despite of the darkness?

The two were enjoying themselves and were clinging to each other. Sheryl was utterly heartbroken.

Sheryl covered her mouth and took small steps backwards as silently as she could. When she finally reached the door, she ran towards her car.

She didn't know how she left Dream Garden or how she was able to drive back home. She felt her body was numb, and her heart was beating so fast.

Sheryl was in pain, but Leila was celebrating at the moment. She was successful! Everything happened perfectly. And by the time that Charles was aroused by her touch, Sheryl came in. After Sheryl ran out, Charles shouted her name.

"Sher, I love you. Don't leave me!" Charles was kissing Leila while calling out Sheryl's name.

Though Leila felt humiliated, she let it pass. What mattered was that Sheryl had seen everything. And, it made Leila feel better. She would receive the best thing she could ever have wanted.

After the kissing scenario, Charles fell unconscious again. This time, no matter what Leila did, there was no reaction from him.

Although it was a pity on Leila's part, she knew how lucky she was that night. She had taken a step forward to achieving her goal.

Going upstairs, Leila awakened Melissa. The two carried Charles to his bedroom. As planned, Leila took off all of his clothes, and she took off hers as well.

Then, she lay next to Charles and put her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling. Soon, she fell asleep too.
