The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 693 Have You Ever Thought About Her Feeling

One was a handsome and rich CEO while the other was a considerate and warm man. Either of them would be a perfect husband for any woman. Now the two man were fighting against each other for Sheryl. Every woman in the world would be jealous of her.

Seeing them fighting, Sue ran up to them. She tried to tear them apart, though her strength was not enough to succeed. If they didn't stop fighting, the security would have to step in and all of them would be in trouble.

"Stop fighting," Sue urged them. She looked at the two men with brows arched and scolded, "Don't you feel ashamed that so many people are watching you fight? You are creating a big scene here and attracting unwanted attention."

However, the two men didn't care to listen to her and kept on fighting. Sue was scared that she may be hurt in the scuffle, so she stood a little away from them. Realizing that her words had no effect, she moved forward and gripped Anthony's hand with all her strength. "You are bleeding. Stop fighting! Calm down!" she said.

Anthony was seized by anger and wouldn't listen to Sue's caution. He pushed Sue away very violently. Sue couldn't balance with her heels on and fell on the ground. She let out a scream in pain and covered her ankle with her hands immediately.

The two men stopped as they heard Sue scream. They turned around to check her condition. Charles was the first to take action and he helped Sue stand up.

"Are you okay?" Charles asked Sue. Charles helped Sue sit on the bench beside the flower bed. Then he asked, "Why did you get involved in our fight? You should have had the good sense to stay out of the way."

"Fight?" Sue looked at Charles and glanced at Anthony. To be honest, she was very disappointed because Charles had rushed to her aid first rather than Anthony.

She smiled bitterly and questioned,"Are you kids? Why didn't you sort out whatever issue it was in a peaceful manner? Can fighting solve any problem?"

Charles gave a smirk and replied, "Some problems can't be solved by talk either."

"I don't understand," Sue said in puzzlement. She looked at Charles and added, "You both fought over Sheryl, right? Are you sure she will choose to be with you if you win the fight?"

She glanced at Anthony out of the corner of her eyes. She hoped that Anthony was listening to her words. "Have you ever tried to know Sheryl's opinion? Do you know what Sheryl's inner thoughts are? What makes you think you have the right to make her decisions for her?" Sue enquired.

Anthony frowned as he heard Sue's words. He suddenly realized he had never considered Sheryl's choice.

He couldn't help wondering how he had gotten so selfish. He only cared about his feelings and had totally ignored Sheryl's.

Charles also reflected on his behavior. He realized that earlier he had led a very selfish existence. He was only concerned about himself and his wants. But he had changed a lot recently and had learnt to pay attention to Sheryl's feelings. He had changed in the hope that Sheryl would love him once again.

Anthony coldly glance at Sue and said, "You won't understand. This is a private matter between Charles, Sheryl and me. As an outsider, you shouldn't get involved."

Anthony was still selfish about Sheryl and wanted to have her. So, he just wouldn't listen to Sue no matter what she said.

Sue gave a bitter smile when she heard Anthony's words. She told Anthony, "You are right. I'm just an outsider for you. I shouldn't have concerned myself about you. I am leaving now so that you don't get upset on seeing me."

Sue felt so disappointed at Anthony's attitude towards her. Charles was just her temporary boss and yet he had rushed to help her when she fell. But Anthony had shown no sympathy or helped her then. She had hoped that at least Anthony would take her as his friend, but now she found she was wrong.

In Anthony's mind and heart, she was still a stranger to him.

She stood up with some effort and stared at Anthony for a long time. "I don't care about the reason for your fight. I want to tell you that nothing can be gained by fighting and it only exposes your weaknesses. I know both of you love Sheryl deeply. To be honest, I'm jealous of her.

However if I were Sheryl, I would be sad. Sheryl would be very disturbed to see you both fight over her. Both of you would become big burdens for her."

Her foot ached and she couldn't stand any longer. She said to Charles, "I'm sorry Mr. Lu. I can't join the group picnic tomorrow. I just want to rest at home. I am sure you will understand why."

She pointed at her ankle and Charles found it was swollen. So he nodded and said, "Okay, you take of yourself and have a good rest."

Sue gave a small wave and went home.

Charles picked up his jacket. He said, "Anthony, I regret having said those words. Asking you about that matter is the most ridiculous thing I have ever done. I feel ashamed for having hit you."

"You won't understand, Charles. It is very complicated." Anthony gave a cold smile. He could feel Sheryl slipping far away from his grasp. He didn't want to be so selfish but he had no other choice. He was helplessly in love with her.

When Charles left, Anthony looked at Sue who was limping slowly towards her house. He hesitated for a while and then ran towards her.

Despite the unpleasantness between them, Sue was still his friend. She had twisted her ankle because of him. He felt duty bound to help her.

"Are you okay, Sue? Is your leg hurting you very badly?" Anthony asked her with concern. Sue ignored him completely. When they came to the elevator, Sue just pressed the floor number of her house and leant against the wall for support and to rest.

She felt the pain in her foot was increasing and leaning against the wall made her feel better.

"Why have you come now?" Sue asked without sparing him a glance. After what had just happened, she didn't want to be friendly with Anthony. He had been so cold with her. Moreover, she didn't want to suffer disappointment in future because of his changeable attitude towards her.

What hurt her most was Anthony's indifference towards her.

Anthony kept silent and just followed her into the elevator. When the door of the elevator opened at her floor, Sue tried to walk out of the elevator by supporting herself with a hand on the wall. Anthony walked up to her and holding her by the waist, supported her. "Let me help you," he offered.

"No, thanks." Sue shook off his hand with all her strength.

Anthony felt very sad as he saw that Sue would rather limp painfully all by herself than accept his help.

It was the first time he saw Sue so angry.

As they reached her door, Sue still refused Anthony's offer of help. Anthony followed her inside her house with a sad look on his face. After a while, he said, "Sue, if you wish, I can explain to you what happened just now with Charles."
