The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1896

Leila had bought this nightgown on the spur of the moment while shopping. Though it was pricey, its quality was fantastic—the silk felt really soft and comfortable.

More importantly, when Leila stood in front of the mirror wearing this nightgown, she could see her curves perfectly traced out, making her seductively enchanting.

Leila intentionally dressed in a way that would expose a larger part of her breasts. Until her cleavage was clearly shown, she never felt satisfied.

She stepped out of her bedroom and walked to Charles' study with a smug smile. 'No man can control himself when they see me. I'm able to arouse every man's primitive desire for a woman. Moreover, Charles has been distant from Sheryl for a long time now. I'm sure he can't reject me after being deprived of sex for so long.'

Leila stopped outside the study. Oozing with confidence, she pushed the door open without even knocking.

Stepping into the room, she fell into a daze when he saw Charles.

He had just finished showering. Wearing his bathrobe, he sat behind his desk and was reading some documents.

Upon hearing the sound made by Leila, Charles raised his head. His gaze only remained on her for a second, and then he focused back on the document that he was reading.

Initially, Leila had felt a bit nervous at barging in. However, when Charles showed no interest in her, she started to feel anxious.

'What's wrong with this man? Doesn't he even have any interest on my body?' Leila wondered.

Not ready to give up as yet, she thought of probing him.

"Charles, thank you so much for earlier," Leila said, pretending to be bashful.

Charles heard her, but he had no intention of entertaining her. Without looking up, he simply responded, "No problem."

"Charles, I don't know why I suddenly felt dizzy earlier today. If you weren't there to catch me on time, I might have..." Walking closer to him, Leila continued, "Charles, are you feeling tired? Do you want a massage? Aunt Melissa said that my massaging skills are not that bad. Actually, every time I massaged her, she felt much more relaxed."

Charles was about to reject her offer, but then he felt a pair of warm hands on top of his shoulders.

"I don't like people touching me," Charles immediately commented, and his voice was rather cold.

While he could still bear Leila's actions, he couldn't stand having such a disgusting woman physically touching him.

Leila's heart skipped a beat. She could clearly sense the annoyance in Charles' voice.

'Tonight is my last chance, ' Leila thought. 'If I miss this chance, I don't know if I can still get this close to the man I love next time.'

Feeling desperate at this thought, Leila decided to lay her entire body on Charles.

She rested the fullness of her body on Charles' back, and her arms circled his neck. No man was able to say "no" to this offer.

"Charles...I...I love you," Leila couldn't help uttering. Charles' masculine scent aroused her desire. All the while, she had been busy with the company's matters. Since Charles came back, she had been on tenterhooks. Now that she finally had a little break, Leila's desire couldn't help surging.

However, her words of love were nothing more than words of disgust to Charles. Instead of feeling touched, he was extremely annoyed.

"Charles, I..."

Before Leila could even finish her sentence, Charles suddenly stood up.

Startled, she swallowed the rest of her sentence.

"Charles, where are you going?" Leila hurriedly asked Charles, seeing that he was about to leave.

Charles opened the study's door. Turning back, he said indifferently, "It's late now. You should go to bed. I still have something to work on."

Feeling deeply embarrassed, Leila thought to herself, 'I didn't expect you to be so cold. How can you reject me like that?'
