The Apple of My Eye -
Chapter 656 In Wine Lies The Truth
Sue, in a drunken stupor, belched while she spoke to Anthony, "How could Sheryl reject you just like this?"
"Sue, you better go back and sleep. Stop being a roaring drunk!" Anthony was already upset and he was about to pull Sue back.
However, Sue pushed him away with all her might and main.
"Anthony, you stay put!" Sue demanded. She then banged Sheryl's door again while shouting, "Sheryl, you better quickly open your door! Anthony deserves a proper explanation. Why are you mistreating him?" Anthony feared that Sue's fury would disturb Shirley in the dead of night so he immediately pulled Sue away from the door.
Anthony found it difficult to drag Sue back to her room but fortunately, he made it. When they entered Sue's room, Anthony urged her to take a rest so she could recover from intoxication.
But to Anthony's surprise, Sue suddenly threw herself to his arms and spoke in a very womanish manner, "Why do you seem to worship Sheryl so much? What's in her?"
Anthony reflected Sue's question for a moment but ended up with no answer.
Actually, Anthony's love for Sheryl was driven by sensibility.
Sue continued to press Anthony for an answer, "Since Sheryl has already rejected you, why don't you just forget her and try to forge a new relationship? Find someone suitable for you. Someone who loves you."
After she spoke, Sue vomited a lot.
Seeing Sue's miserable looks while vomiting, Anthony had no recourse but to prepare a cup of honey water to comfort her.
Anthony's gesture made Sue laugh foolishly. 'How could my beloved man take good care of me right now? Am I dreaming?' Sue pondered to herself.
Anthony helped Sue lean on the couch so she could drink the honey water. Anthony urged her to drink it all to help ease her discomfort.
After drinking the honey water, Anthony helped her lie down comfortably on the couch. Then he removed her shoes. Anthony couldn't help but complain,"Sue, you should behave what befits a decent girl. You shouldn't give your parents a reason to worry about you."
"My parents would be the last people to worry about me," Sue replied with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "They value my younger brother more than me."
Anthony was sympathetic toward Sue. He didn't know she held some grudges over her parents, but her parents must be really hard on her.
"Well, take a good rest, Sue." Anthony covered her with a quilt. "A woman like you should not drink too much. You have to be more careful..."
Before Anthony could finish his words, he felt a sudden pain on his arm. He realized that Sue pinched him. Because of the sudden pain, Anthony got annoyed. "Sue are you crazy?"
Sue immediately explained why she did such thing. She did on purpose to prove that she wasn't only dreaming.
"No, you are not dreaming. But you are roaring drunk!" Anthony replied with a hint of displeasure.
Sue shook her head and said, "No, I'm not drunk. I can assure you that I am sober."
Sue talked to Anthony coquettishly,"Anthony, you are still as tender as ever."
Actually, Sue considered it a blessing that Sheryl rejected Anthony. Because now, she was the one receiving the favors that Anthony should have given to Sheryl.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Anthony roughly dismissed Sue. He was about to take his leave when Sue spoke again,"Anthony, please stay a little longer." Sue tried her best to detain Anthony by unbosoming her feelings for him, "Anthony, I love you more than anyone else in this world. Despite the fact that you only bestow all your love and care on Sheryl, I still can't stop loving you."
Sue forced a smile and continued, "So, because of my love for you, I undertook caring Sheryl and treated her as a friend."
Because of the wine's effect on her, Sue became more outspoken. On the other hand, Anthony started to feel embarrassed. Anthony thought that he should have kept distance from Sue since the beginning.
"Sue, I think you are too drunk to speak wisely. You better take a rest first," Anthony advised.
But Sue kept on insisting that she was sober.
Before Anthony could say more, Sue continued, "When you and Sheryl were still together and we became bosom friends, I did everything to hide my feelings for you. I was pining with unrequited love." Sue's voice was full of pain.
Sue paused for a moment and then continued, "Now the situation has changed. Sheryl was proven to be an obscene woman undeserving of your love and I have already cut ties with her. Therefore, I think I now have every reason to start a romantic relationship with you. Besides, Sheryl has already kept a constant communication with Charles."
"What do you mean by that?" Anthony's brows furrowed upon Sue mentioning Charles' name. Anthony naturally suspected Charles of flirting with Sheryl during his absence. Now that Sue was hinting about it, his suspicion grew stronger.
Anthony bent to question Sue,"Is there something between Sheryl and Charles?"
"Please do not expect for the truth to come from me." Sue refused to confirm his question. "I promised Sheryl to keep it a secret," Sue added fuel to the fire.
