The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1844

Although Sheryl had been busy worrying about Charles these days, she also knew about what had happened between Nick and Cassie. Seeing him waiting at the ground floor in low spirits, she felt a bit concerned about him.

"Nick..."

"Hey, Sher, you have finished your work," answering Sheryl feebly, Nick motioned for her to get inside the car in a hurry. She followed him without a word.

"Nick, what are you doing here?" Sheryl asked as soon as she got inside.

"I drove Cassie back home and happened to pass by, so I came to see you. I saw Isla a while ago, and she said you are still in the office, so I waited. Let me drive you home." Glancing at Nick, Sheryl thought he looked much better now. He didn't seem as low as he had been earlier.

Confused by his sudden change in expression, Sheryl couldn't help but ask, "Nick, are you sure you and Cassie are okay?" Sheryl knew Nick well enough to know that if she didn't ask, he wouldn't tell her anything.

"Sher, the truth is, I've come to you because I need your help. I don't know how to talk with Cassie." Nick looked at Sheryl helplessly, depression clouding his eyes.

His expression scared Sheryl, making her feel unwell. However, she still nodded and waited for him to continue.

"Sher, you must have known what happened between me and Cassie recently, right?" Nick appeared to be driving carefully, literally driving slower than usual, as he focused on what he was going to say next.

"Nick, please, pull over." Feeling worried that something would go wrong, Sheryl advised Nick to stop the car first.

Nick sighed and immediately stopped the car upon hearing Sheryl's request.

Afterwards, Nick could no longer control himself. Holding his head with both hands, he suddenly started crying.

Sitting next to him, Sheryl was at a loss and didn't know what to do. She just let him cry his heart out.

After crying for a while, Nick asked between sobs, "Sher, you know what? I have never been so sad in my life."

"What on earth has happened?" Sheryl asked, feeling so nervous about where the conversation was going. She just wanted Nick to tell her at once why he was acting that way.

"Cassie wanted to break up with me today." Nick was a man and had never felt so bad.

Looking at him, Sheryl felt restless. 'Hadn't they sorted out their issues yet?' she thought to herself. Jordan had already admitted everything. So why did Cassie still want to break up with Nick?

"Cassie said that a lot of things have happened while we've been in a relationship. A lot of bumps here and there. She thought it never went smoothly, so she didn't want us to continue..." Trying his best not to burst into tears, Nick started telling Sheryl everything that had happened between him and his girlfriend.

Listening to Nick's story, Sheryl could understand where Cassie was coming from. When she started to get in a relationship with Charles, she had gone through the same period where she thought it was much easier to give up. Sometimes it seemed that it was really hard to fight for your happiness all the time.

"Nick, I will talk to Cassie. Stop thinking too much. Cassie loves you, but a lot has happened recently, so she thinks like that. Don't overthink." Sheryl had this gift of being good at comforting others. After hearing her advice, Nick was convinced and finally felt hopeful.

"Sher, thanks for your help. I want a lifelong happiness...with Cassie." Feeling emotional, Nick grabbed Sheryl's arm.

Sheryl smiled knowingly. "Everything will be okay. Now, why don't we get back on the road?" Without a word, Nick started the engine once again.

Soon, Sheryl reached home. "Thanks for the ride," she said. "Take care on your way back." Nick smiled and replied, "Thank you." She saw him off before going upstairs, finally feeling relieved.
