The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 1750 What Were You Looking At

Jason had snuck out because he hadn't prepared to be discharged from the hospital. So, he had to go

back secretly.

"Why can't you go back by yourself? Why do I have to be there? Besides, you look perfectly fine to me!

You're healthy as a horse. Why are you still staying in the hospital? Wait, let me guess. You're

blackmailing someone," Holley said, scowling.

Men like Jason always saw money as the most important thing in the world.

Black had beaten up Jason so badly that Rex had paid him a lot of money in compensation. Holley

figured Jason didn't want to get discharged from the hospital yet because he was hoping to get more

money from Rex. She thought about how shameless Jason was and how he really didn't have a limit.

He'd do anything for money.

"Well, I can't deny that I love money. Don't you? Don't tell me that you're only with Black because you

genuinely like him!"

Jason thought Holley was just the same. They both just wanted money. He couldn't see the difference

between the two of them. To him, they were just one and the same.

"That's enough. What do you want? That's your problem, and I'm staying out of it." Holley then promptly

pushed Jason away and grabbed the opportunity to run to her car.

She was so fast that he wasn't able to do anything else. He just watched as she disappeared.

Jason then went back to the hospital.

Meanwhile, at the bar, Black felt distressed. His issues with Holley caused him to turn to drink. He

didn't stay long, though. After having a couple of drinks, he paid his bill, then stumbled out of the bar.

Black was so completely immersed in his thoughts about Holley that he accidentally bumped into a

woman.

The woman yelped as she lifted her head to look at Black. "What's your problem? Did you do that on

purpose?"

"I think he did. He must be interested in you. You're so lucky." Another woman rushed over and pulled

Black's arm.

Black frequented the pub enough to know what these women wanted. If it were the old him, he'd take

advantage of this and have fun with them. But he was different, and he wasn't really in the mood.

Furrowing his eyebrows together, he pushed the woman away and said, "Go away!"

"What are you doing? Don't be so rude. You already bumped into me!" the woman said, feigning

innocence.

"Go away!" Black yelled, not wanting to waste any more time on these women.

The women didn't push it any further. They quickly left and stopped bothering him. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After Black left the bar, he didn't go home yet. Instead, he went to another bar nearest to his house to

get himself even drunker.

By the time he had gotten back home to the Hu house, he was already almost unconscious.

Rex got mad upon seeing Black like this. With one hand on his waist, he pointed to Black. "Look at

yourself! You're embarrassing! How can you let anyone see you like this?"

This wasn't the first time that Black let himself get this drunk in front of his father. Rex couldn't control

his temper anymore.

Black snapped out of his daze when Rex started scolding him. He narrowed his eyes, cracked a smile,

and said, "Dad, why are you getting mad at me?"

"You little bastard, why can't you just forget that woman?" Rex asked as he sat down next to Black.

Even though he was scolding Black, one could see that more than anything, he was just concerned

about his son.

"I can't. How can I forget Holley? Dad, I need Holley. I'll do anything so that she won't leave me..."

After Black had finished speaking, he drifted off to sleep.

He didn't have a good night's sleep as he kept waking up to throw up. As a result, the maids had to

keep cleaning up after him, so they didn't get to sleep well that night, either. Only around dawn were

Black and the maids able to get some sleep.

The next day

Black woke up early in the morning. He immediately went to the bathroom to throw up, but nothing

came out. He could feel his chest burning from all the vomiting from the previous night. When he went

back to his bed, all he could think of was Holley. He couldn't get her off his mind. It was like Holley was

a nightmare that he was lost in and couldn't find a way out.

He carefully thought everything over. He knew that it already wasn't doing him any good, but he just

couldn't let it go. Even though Holley herself told him to his face, he'd still find it hard to believe that she

didn't love him.

Black was a man who was very much in touch with his feelings. He could feel when someone loved

him or not. He trusted his instincts.

After Holley told him that she didn't love him, he figured that Holley was trapped in a situation which

she couldn't tell him about it.

It was just something he needed to convince himself that Holley was just being forced to say that to

him.

When Black thought of this, he then called a private investigator. He needed to know what was going

on.

"Remember that you need to closely follow her. She can't find out. I need to know what she does every

day," Black ordered.

"Okay. Don't worry, Mr. Hu. I'm a professional detective, and I'm very good at what I do. Just stand by

for an update," the detective said.

At Holley's home

Holley wasn't having a good evening. She had been thinking about Black. She worried about what he

was going to do to himself after what she'd just told him. She couldn't help but regret telling him that.

However, she knew that feeling remorseful wasn't going to help anything. She had to accept whatever

was going to come.

After washing up, she went downstairs. She was surprised to find that Jason was there.

Leaning against Holley's car, he said to Holley rather seductively, "Honey, did you miss me?"

"What's your problem?" Holley yelled back. She couldn't restrain herself anymore.

Jason was unfazed. He casually approached Holley, pulled her hand, and said, "Ready to get married

to me?"

"Back to business?"

Holley was upset that she had to deal with Jason twice in two days.

Jason pulled Holley back just as she was about to storm off.

Eyeing her from head to toe, Jason sent a chill down her spine.

"What are you looking at?" His gaze left her feeling uncomfortable. Holley's face turned cold as she

scowled at Jason.
