The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 670 Sue's Explanation

Sue was puzzled but Sheryl smiled and told Sue,"I think Anthony is the only one who can persuade you to talk to me. For his sake at least you would agree."

Sheryl's words embarrassed Sue. She flashed a quick look at Sheryl and said. "I did come because of Anthony. If it weren't for him, I would never talk to you my whole life."

Sheryl gave a small, bitter smile inwardly as her guess was confirmed. On the outside she maintained an indifferent look.

Sue felt very uncomfortable when she saw Sheryl's indifferent look. She said,"Sheryl, do you know the indifferent look you always keep on your face could hurt the feelings of others?" Sher remained mute and kept looking steadily at Sue.

Sue sneered and said, "You always look indifferent no matter what happens. You were peaceful when I broke up with you. And now..."

Sue paused for a moment and then continued with her brows arched, "Now you are also indifferent to the fact that Anthony spent a night with me. Do you know this reaction of yours has the power to hurt others' feelings?"

Sue gave a cold smile and added, "You have never really taken love or friendship seriously. Did you ever care about my feelings?"

"So what do you want me to do?" Sheryl asked. Sheryl glanced mildly at Sue and inquired, "My best friend broke up with me over something non existent and later stole my boyfriend. Do you expect that I should still be warm and friendly to you as before?"

Sue was rendered speechless. She regretted her break up with Sheryl. Especially as she now knew that Shirley's biological father might be Charles. She finally understood why Sheryl was so drawn to him. "Sue, you didn't have to tell me this actually. I will be happy if you can be with Anthony. You love him so much. I believe you will be good for him. He will be more happier with you than with me." Sheryl's words infuriated Sue. She stared at Sheryl. "Do you value Anthony at all? Does he hold any importantance in your heart and mind? If you really love him, you will not just give him up so easily." Sheryl was speechless. She didn't know what she should do or say.

Sue continued with a bitter smile, "Huh! You never really loved him. So why would you care about his feeling at all."

"Sue! What the hell do you want to say?" Sheryl cast an impatient look at Sue and added, "If you are here just to blame me, I think this conversation is over. Can I leave now?"

"Hold on!" Sue called out to stop Sheryl from leaving. "Actually I want to tell you that nothing happened between Anthony and me," Sue said.

Sheryl turned back in surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"

Sue didn't answer but looked at Sheryl with earnest eyes. Then she said, "The first time you saw him walk out of my house was because you went missing for a whole night then. He kept waiting for your return at the gate. He was anxious for your return and was waiting to spot you as soon as you came back. He stood in one place for so long that his feet got numb. When I came back from the bar, he saw I was drunk. So he helped me inside my house and took care of me that night. We did nothing that was wrong."

She took a deep breath and continued, "Last night I met him in the bar. He was drinking heavily after his arguement with you. He was very sad and fully drunk. Then he began crying and shouting in the bar. I couldn't just leave him alone there so I brought him to my house. That was why you saw him walk out of my home this morning." Sue heaved a sigh and said to Sheryl,"I should have dropped him back to his house but I didn't know where it was. So I had to let him stay in my house for the night."

She informed Sheryl seriously, "I promise I have done nothing with him. He got so heartbroken when you saw him this morning. I felt so sorry for him."

"Sue, why are you telling me all this?" Sheryl asked, "If you really did all this for my sake, why didn't you bring him to my house? Why did you take him to your own house? Can you explain this to me?"

"I..." Sue stammered. She was surprised. She didn't expect that Sheryl could ask such relevant questions. She had just used this opportunity to take care of Anthony by herself and completely forgot that he had a girlfriend.

"Fine, I admit I love Anthony and wish to have sex with him."

Sue smiled bitterly and added, "But the only one he loves is you, even when fully drunk. He kept on calling your name when he was in a stupor. I don't want you to get him wrong or think the worst of him so I came tell you the truth."

"Oh, really?" Sheryl sneered and asked, "Have you finished? Can I go now?"

"You are so..." Sue got stuttered out of anger. On seeing Sheryl's indifferent attitude, Sue couldn't help but wonder if it was a wrong decision to tell everything to Sheryl. She had decided to give Anthony back to her but she could tell that Sheryl didn't love him at all.

"Sheryl, don't you care about Anthony?" Sue asked her. "Will you be upset if he chose me?"

"I have already told you that I will be happy for both of you if you can be together." Sheryl glanced at Sue and added, "I really will."

"I have to prepare Shirley's meal. I have to leave now," Sheryl told Sue in a cold voice.

She believed there was nothing going on between Sue and Anthony. Unfortunately, Anthony did not trust her in the same way.

The trouble between Anthony and Sheryl was not his relationship with Sue, but his distrust for Sheryl. If he couldn't deal with it, they could never be happy together.

Sheryl wanted him to approach her by himself rather than have Sue speak for him.

Therefore Sheryl was very cold towards Sue. This matter was between Anthony and her so Sue shouldn't have involved herself in it.

On reaching her house, Sheryl sat on the sofa, dumbfounded. Shirley looked at Nancy and asked, "Granny Nancy, what has happened to Sher?"

Sheryl had become very weird in the days following her argument with Anthony. Shirley was worried about her.

"She is just deep in thought. It is probably work related. Don't worry dear," Nancy consoled her. "Now just go to your room and play for a while. I'll call you to have your meal when it is ready," she added.
