The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1840

Angel could feel that Charles disliked her, but she didn't worry about it at all. She'd found out from her father that Sheryl wanted to divorce Charles. Soon, he was going to be a single man again, so she was confident as she made a move on him. All she needed to do was show him that she cared for him.

"Charles, the weather is so nice today. Would you like to take a walk with me in the garden?" Angel proposed. The promising future of her relationship with Charles encouraged her somehow. Angel didn't hold herself back as she reached out to touch Charles' arm, even though she could clearly tell that Charles wasn't interested in her. She ignored this and continued to touch his arm.

Since she insisted, Charles wouldn't be so rude to refuse her. With Angel holding his arm, Charles walked out to the garden.

"I'm fine now, Angel. You can leave and go about your day," Charles said.

He didn't want to be alone with Angel. He knew what she wanted from him, even though she didn't say anything. He could just tell how she was acting and looking at him.

"I don't really have anything else to do," Angel said gently. As she spoke, she approached Charles, so that she was closer to him.

A scowl appeared on Charles' face. He briskly walked, brushing past Angel, not giving her a chance to touch him.

After they returned to the ward, Angel started to wash the fruit for Charles, without even asking him whether he wanted them or not.

Charles was irritable as Angel had tried a bit too hard to take care of him. He couldn't bring himself to be honest with her and tell her that he wasn't interested.

"I'm tired!" Charles said abruptly. He couldn't ask Angel to leave because she was Franklin's daughter. Her father had saved his life, so he couldn't just treat her like that.

Angel was well aware that Charles wanted her to leave soon, but she ignored this and played dumb.

"Okay. I won't disturb you. You can rest. I'll leave after you've fallen asleep." Angel smiled at Charles. Then she approached him and sat on his bed so that she could watch him as he slept.

Charles knew that he wouldn't be able to get Angel to leave that easily. He turned his back to Angel and closed his eyes.

After a few minutes, Charles snored. Angel then left since he was fast asleep.

When he heard the door closing, he opened his eyes. How could he be so ignorant toward Angel and her intentions?

Charles didn't know what to do. The only thing he knew was that he loved Sheryl and only Sheryl. Before, he'd just turned down women who were interested in him.

But Angel was different. She was just an innocent little girl. If he did something wrong, she might get hurt, and Franklin might get involved too.

The more Charles thought about this, the more he realized how serious it was, and how he couldn't let it go on anymore.

At that time, David called Charles. He picked up the phone immediately and asked anxiously, "How is Sher doing?"

"Mr. Lu, don't worry. Ms. Xia is all right. The only problem now is Leila. She's getting more and more rampant in the company!" David complained on the other end of the line. He told Charles about Leila's aggressive actions in the company. Ever calm and composed, David lost his temper this time. He almost cursed because of Leila.

David had been pretending he was in Malaysia, which was why he wasn't going to the office. This only encouraged Leila to take charge in the company.
