The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1828

David's eyes carried a high degree of seriousness. Suddenly, he felt relieved and washed free of all the guilt after he finally told her what he wanted to say.

"Really?" Sheryl's eyes widened, and her mouth was now agape with shock. She stood up immediately and looked at David like she couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes, I think there's a high possibility, but you can't tell anyone else just yet. After all, we still don't have any confirmation at the moment." David was afraid that Sheryl would announce the news to the whole world out of excitement, which would arouse Leila's attention. That would go against Charles' plan.

"Okay, okay. I won't tell anyone. Are you going to Malaysia now?" Sheryl's anxious gaze was fixated on David. She couldn't wait for him to go to Malaysia because she was eager to see Charles' face again.

"I will fly there when the weather gets better. All you need to do is take good care of yourself, and don't let anyone know what I've told you about President Lu," David said, reasserting the importance of keeping the news from getting leaked.

"Okay. Don't worry about that. I won't tell anyone. You can trust me!"

Sheryl felt greatly relieved after she saw David off. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this happy.

She would have taken the next flight to Malaysia herself, but she had to stay here and take care of the children.

Phoebe returned with food. When she pushed the door open, she saw Sheryl's face beaming like the sun. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head twice because she couldn't believe it. She had only been gone for a few minutes. What could have changed Sheryl into a different person in such a short time?

"Miss Xia, what happened?" Phoebe quickly put the food on the table and rushed towards Sheryl. "Miss Xia, what's wrong with you? Did something happen while I was away?"

"It's nothing, Phoebe. I've just been thinking about Charles. I need to take care of myself for him. If anything happens to me, he's going to worry, and I can't let him worry," said Sheryl.

However, the smile on Sheryl's face only stirred Phoebe's curiosity. If anyone could tell what was the reason behind Sheryl's sudden change in mood it would be Isla.

An idea popped into Phoebe's mind, and she decided to speak with Isla.

At Lansh Technology

After Nick was finished with work, he got to his numbed feet and stretched his arms and legs. Just when he was about to take a rest, his phone rang.

Thinking it would be Cassie, he quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket. Suddenly, the joy in his face disappeared when he saw that it was Isla.

"Hello Isla, what can I do for you?" Nick answered the phone with a yawn as if he was really exhausted.

His lack of concern only annoyed Isla even more. Sheryl's life was falling apart, and Nick was trapped in love. Neither of them helped to ease Isla's worries.

Isla's eyes furrowed in a deep crease, as she gingerly tapped the bridge of her nose. "Oh, I'm sorry! Am I bothering you? I'll make this short. If you care about Cassie so much, why did you have an affair with another woman?"

"Isla, I was set up. I swear I didn't cheat on Cassie. But that's not important right now. I don't think you called me just to scold me today. What is it?"

Nick didn't want to talk about his problems at the moment because he knew that it would only make Isla angrier. He didn't care about what people thought of him because he knew that he didn't do anything wrong.

"Everything happens for a reason. People don't just land in bad situations. You need to get your life in check. Anyway, now let's talk about Sheryl. I'm sure you'll agree that she's got bigger problems than the rest of us." Isla was anxious, and she was urging Nick to find a solution.
