The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1890

Checking her watch, Holley knew they had to have dinner quickly. Otherwise, they couldn't catch the movie and the good play she planned to enact.

"Holley, slow down. We still have plenty of time. Or we can watch the next screening." Seeing that Holley was swallowing her food so fast, Black was worried.

Holley shook her head in a hurry. "No. I am really hungry," she answered after drinking a glass of water. "I will eat slowly. I just want to watch the show we initially planned."

"Okay. Take your time." Black couldn't bear to see Holley playing the woman, since he could do nothing to her whenever she acted like this.

Soon they finished dinner and headed straight to the cinema.

The movie house was almost full when they entered. Shortly after they found their seats, the lights were dimmed, and the movie started playing. It was a romantic movie. To be frank, Holley never liked this genre, but she didn't have much of a choice.

As the movie carried on, Holley couldn't help checking her cell phone.

In the beginning, Black didn't notice that at all. His concentration was on the screen, and he expected Holley to do the same. However, the light of Holley's cell phone screen attracted his attention, so he turned to his girlfriend and asked, "Holley, what's up? Are you waiting for something? You've been checking your phone a few times already."

"Nothing. I was just checking the time. I want to see when the movie will end." Holley looked awkward. Good thing the cinema was all dark, or else Black might have seen her unusual expression.

"Don't you want to watch the movie? Or are you not feeling well?" Afraid that he had neglected Holley, Black would get nervous every time there seemed to be something wrong with her.

"No. I just want to check. Keep watching the movie and leave me alone." Holley argued the matter off.

She was already feeling worried. They were supposed to have been attacked in the cinema, as planned, but why hadn't the guy come yet?

Suddenly, her phone vibrated as she received a text message. Holley felt nervous. Taking a quick glimpse at Black, she realized he was focused on watching the movie, so she read the text.

"After finishing the movie, go take a walk at the nearby park. There are too many people here, and I can't do it."

Holley replied, "Okay", and hit the send button. Finally, she could relax.

She immediately deleted the text message and then concentrated on watching the movie.

Just now, Holley had thought that the guy she had hired was gone, but it turned out that he was looking for better timing.

An hour and a half afterward, the movie finished. Walking out of the movie house, they saw that it was still early evening. Worried that Holley might already be tired, Black asked if she wanted to go back, but Holley suggested having a walk around.

"Holley, it has been a very busy day. Aren't you tired?" Black couldn't help but sound concerned.

Holley was amused by Black's reaction. To be honest, she had considered having a baby with him and living together forever, but that hadn't seemed possible. She had to make her lie plausible and solve the urgent problem before thinking about her future.

"I am okay. Don't worry. The doctor said it will be alright after three months. My belly will stick out soon. So I have to seize every chance I've got to hang out these days. I won't be able to make it in the next few months." Holley shook Black's arm again, acting like a spoiled child.

She knew Black so well, and he would never turn down her request. As long as she asked for it and played the woman, he would agree with her.

"Okay, if you say so. But we will need to go back after walking for a while," Black said firmly, not giving Holley a chance to refuse.

Holley nodded immediately, without even trying to object.

Facing this evildoer, Black could no longer control his anger.

"Let her go!" Black shouted, his voice sounding more like a threat.

Apparently, hearing Black's words, the man felt irritated and started waving the knife at him in an instant. He was going to stab Black soon.

Since the man focused on fighting against Black, he decided to release Holley, but instead of running away she dashed towards him.

It happened in a flash, the quick swoosh of the blade against her flesh, accompanied by Holley's sudden intake of breath.

"No!"

"Ah..."

"I warn you. The police are on their way. If you don't want to die, just go now!" Holley warned the killer, her face turning pale.

Frightened, the masked man seized his chance to run away, throwing the bloody knife aside.

Holley fell to the ground, screaming in severe pain. Her hands were bright red as she tried to cover her wound, but she couldn't stop the bleeding.

Black was stunned. He had never thought that Holley would use her body as a shield to protect him. When she fell on the ground, screaming in agony, Black ran to her side in desperation.
