The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 658 Why Don't You Trust Me

"You..." Sue was so indignant that an arrogant sneer crept over her face. She then said to Anthony who was standing in front of her, "First of all, I shouldn't have gotten myself involved in this matter. I never intended to poke my nose into your business. You are Sheryl's boyfriend and I know I shouldn't have said all those words. However..."

Sue paused for a while before she continued, "However, I just feel it's so unfair to you. You love her so much, help her take care of her daughter, and even bought a house in the US for her to rent in a very low price. I know all those things that you did for her. But in return, how could she treat you just like this?

It isn't worth it. Even though she knew that it would hurt you, she still agreed to stay at Charles' house. She thought Charles needed her. But we all know that Charles is a rich businessman. He doesn't need Sheryl's care. He can afford to pay as many servants as he want to take care of him at his home. Why should he ask Sheryl to take care of him instead?" Sue was carried away by her emotions. It was too late before she realized that she shouldn't have told Anthony about it.

"What did you just say, Sue?" Anthony was completely stunned after hearing what Sue had said.

'Did Sue just say that Sheryl moved to Charles' house? What happened? What was going on?' Anthony wondered.

Sue was frozen upon seeing Anthony's expression. She immediately shut her mouth. Truth lies at the bottom of the decanter. She regretted saying those words. But soon, Sue realized that Anthony deceived her so she would spit out the truth in front of him.

Sue remained silent and motionless, with her head lowered.

Anthony who was anxious and irritated rushed up to her, held her shoulders and asked in a rather indignant tone, "What did you just say? Sheryl moved to Charles' house? Are you sure about that?" Anthony bombarded Sue with questions but she was still dazed. "What the hell is going on here?" Anthony added.

"Anthony, please calm down. Listen to me," Sue persuaded Anthony when she came back to her senses. She took a glance at him and said, "There's no point getting agitated. Perhaps you're taking it the wrong way. Let me explain it to you."

"No, there is no need to explain," replied Anthony in a cold tone. He sneered and continued, "You have said enough."

"Anthony, please wait..." Sue tried to stop Anthony when she saw him about to leave. However, the moment Anthony opened the door, he found Sheryl was standing outside and about to open her door as well. She was holding a bag of breakfast in her hand.

Sheryl froze upon seeing Anthony coming out of Sue's apartment at this very early morning.

Sue was also stunned, her eyes wide. She never expected such a coincidence. She was so embarrassed that she could almost hide her face in shame.

Sue was rendered speechless. She doesn't know how to explain the situation to Sheryl.

Anthony felt like his heart was burning with fire when he saw Sheryl. It seemed that he had lost his marbles after hearing Sue's words. Moreover, Sheryl didn't even come back home last night. Thinking that she might have spent the night with Charles made Anthony more enraged. He wanted to ask so many questions to her.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Sheryl standing outside the door, he held her hands and closed the door, bolting out Sue.

Anthony had to leave Sue alone for the time being. All he wanted to do right now was to personally ask Sheryl of what really happened between her and Charles.

"Where did you stay last night? Tell me the truth," asked Anthony in a cold voice. He stared at Sheryl with furious eyes, waiting for her reply.

Sheryl could tell from his voice that he was in a bad mood. Shirley who was sleeping in her bedroom was also awoken by his voice. The little girl took a glance at Anthony only to be frightened by his serious expression. She immediately turned to Sheryl and called her in a shaky voice, "Sher..."

Sheryl shook Anthony's hands off and handed the breakfast to Shirley. She then led her back into the bedroom. Sheryl told her daughter and comforted her with a smile, "Shirley, be a good girl okay? Go wash up and eat your breakfast. I just need to talk to Tony. Remember not to come out of your room no matter what you hear unless I tell you to do so, okay?"

Although she was a little hesitant, Shirley nodded her head slightly. It was her first time to see Anthony so furious so she felt a little bit scared. When Sheryl went out of her room, she called Charlie to replace comfort.

Charlie tried his best to console Shirley who also soon felt better.

In the living room, Sheryl immediately reprimanded Anthony about his behavior. "What were you doing? Didn't you see how frightened Shirley got when she saw you?" Her eyebrows knitted. After a short pause, she remembered something and asked, "Why are you here?"

Sheryl would not be suspicious of anything if she didn't fall out with Sue. Things were different now especially that Sue had already hung out the red flag to her. So Sheryl couldn't help thinking negatively. "Is it important to you? Do you really care about me?" Anthony sneered while gazing at her. "Have you ever cared about me?" he asked again.

"Of course it is important to me," Sheryl responded. Her eyes were filled with confusion. She couldn't figure out what really happened to Anthony. She didn't know why he was so furious at her for no reason. She felt like she was talking to a different person. Staring at him, she finally asked, "Anthony, why are you so indignant? What happened to you? Can you tell me?"

"That's enough!" Anthony shouted. He was already boiling with rage and his voice sounded so impatient. He took a glance at Sheryl before he continued, "You're such a hypocritical woman! You didn't come home last night and no one even knew where you've been. And now you're asking me what happened? Have you even considered my feelings? Have you forgotten that aside from being my girlfriend, you are also Shirley's mother?" Anthony poured out his anger in one breath.

"Anthony, please listen to me. I can explain everything to you." Sheryl frowned slightly. She hesitated for a moment before she finally said, "Charles took me somewhere yesterday. I told him that I didn't want to go with him, but he..." Sheryl rambled in her statement since she was still at a loss on how to explain everything to Anthony.

She must admit that she should also be responsible for it, though she actually didn't mean it to happen. "Well, fine. I am not going to explain myself anymore because I know I was wrong. But I didn't mean not to come back last night. Charles took me to a very distant place and there was no signal. What's more, the car broke down on our way back. It wasn't until this morning that he found someone to fix the car. I also wanted to call you but I couldn't get through since there was no signal in the area. We immediately drove back as soon as the car got fixed."

She looked into Anthony's eyes and continued,"I know you might be uncomfortable to replace out about this but I can promise you that this will never happen again."

"Wow! But I'm afraid that those are just high-sounding words," responded Anthony. He seemed to become irrational because of rage. He could not control his emotions anymore. He still couldn't understand why Sheryl would stay with Charles for the whole night.

"Anthony, you don't need to be so sarcastic." Sheryl scowled. "I have already admitted my mistake and I have already explained the reason why I wasn't able to come back last night. As I have said, the car broke down and there was no signal so I wasn't able to call you. What do you expect me to do in such a situation?"

"Sheryl, what a poor liar you are!" Anthony laughed scornfully at her. "Do you expect me to believe that everything was just a coincidence? His car broke down somewhere and there was no signal at all. How could you have such misfortune at the same time?"

"Anthony, I am telling the truth. Whether you believe it or not, it's all up to you," Sheryl replied in an angry voice. As she finished her words, Sheryl sat in the corner angrily. She was reluctant to talk to him anymore.

Upon seeing Sheryl's expression, Anthony moved toward her. "Who do you think I am? Why won't you tell me the truth?"

Anthony glared at her. He seemed to be so distressed after hearing what she said. "Sheryl, I am your betrothed but why don't you trust me?"
