The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 76 Gary's Advice

"If it's nothing serious, you shouldn't have made your wife take care of you in the hospital for so long.

Don't you know that she may need some rest?" Instead of blaming Autumn, Gary scolded Charles. He

thought Charles was not being considerate to his wife at all. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"There are so many servants at home, but you just let Yvonne take care of you in the hospital. What if

she gets exhausted?" Gary kept complaining about Charles. "You are a grownup man! Why not be a

little considerate towards your wife?"

"Grandpa, that's not the case. Charles is injured and in the hospital because of me. He wanted to

protect me. I really want to take care of him here." Autumn explained to Gary on behalf of Charles.

However, Gary still twisted his face. "It is natural that he has to protect you, since he is your husband.

But Charles, don't you feel ashamed to whine for such a minor injury? You have really disgraced your

family's name."

"Grandpa, I......" Autumn was very anxious because she was worried about Charles. He was injured,

but Gary just kept on scolding him. She felt bad for him, so Autumn wanted to explain everything

clearly to Gary. But Charles stopped her. "Grandpa, please stop with all the jokes. Don't you see that

she is almost crying?"

It was not until then that Autumn realized that Gary was playing a trick on her.

Hearing that, Gary burst into laughter. He felt happy for his grandson for that he married a good and

sincere girl. "Well, it's just a joke. Please don't take it seriously. Yvonne, I know you were worried about

me so you hid the news from me. But never do this again. Although I am old, I am capable of bearing

some bad news."

"Ok, grandpa. I get it." Autumn blushed and nodded. She hesitated for a second and then said,

"Grandpa, can you call me Ye? It feels weird to be called Yvonne."

Gary stole a glance at Charles. He secretly nodded a yes. Seeing this, Gary laughed and replied,

"Okay, then I will call you Ye."

"What are you doing there? Come here." Seeing that they were standing outside the door, Chris called,

"Come on in. The dinner is ready."

"Okay." Gary replied with a smile. Everyone was in a joyous and cheerful mood. Wile they were

enjoying their meal, Gary asked Charles and Autumn out of blue, "When are you two going to have a

baby?"

Upon hearing this, Autumn blushed immediately. Though she had got married with Charles for some

time, she still thought they needed to know each other better. Therefore, they still didn't reach at further

intimacy.

Charles also showed great respect to her.

"Why you ask this for no reason?" Charles furrowed his brow. Indeed, he was not offended, but he was

afraid that Autumn would feel awkward.

Chris also echoed, "Ye, you have been married to my brother for some time. Perhaps you should take it

into consideration. I am looking forward to the day of your baby's birth."

Autumn felt even more embarrassed after hearing this.

Charles stared at Gary seriously and replied, "Don't worry. We will take it into consideration."

Satisfied by his answer, Gary nodded cheerfully.

After dinner, Gary called off Charles with an excuse. Autumn didn't show any suspicion but ate fruit with

Chris on the couch.

It seemed that Chris had got her breath again and returned to normal.

Charles knew what Gary wanted to talk about. They went to Gary's tearoom and then Charles asked

frankly, "Grandpa, do you want to ask me something about Ye?"

"Yes." Gary replied and then continued. "I did some research when you decided to marry Yvonne at

that time. And I found many negative things about her which were in stark contrast with this "Yvonne"

you have married now. But I thought that she would be still better than the famous Rachel since she

came from a notable family."

In this situation, it seemed like Gary was not picky about his grandson's wife. And the only restriction

he had was that the woman should not be Rachel.

"But I am not addle headed. After knowing her over a period of time, I found that she is totally different

from the girl I have investigated before. And her personality is also different from Mr. and Mrs. Gu.

Besides, I felt very weird since she asked me to call her Ye."

"It seems that you know the truth now." Charles said calmly.

"Really? She isn't Yvonne? Then who is she?" Gary didn't care about Autumn's real identity, because

he was satisfied with Charles's choice. Gary was just curious why she got married to Charles when it

supposed to be Yvonne.

"Do you remember that she has a sister called Autumn?" Charles asked. It took Gary some time to

recall the girl whom he had met only once. He tried hard to remember.

Though he had only met that girl once, he remembered that she also seemed polite. Gary still disliked

her since he thought her politeness didn't work in her favour.

"Actually, Ye is Autumn, Yvonne's half-sister. Before the wedding, Yvonne chose to elope with another

man. To cover up the scandal of Yvonne, Wendy and Simon blackmailed Autumn into getting married

to me, by holding her grandmother hostage, so...... The woman married to me is actually Autumn."

Charles explained it to Gary, leaving him a feeling of sorrowfulness.

"She has experienced so much miseries." Gary took a sigh and added, "But you are lucky. You

accidently get married with a good girl. If you really married to Yvonne, I am afraid that she may cause

many troubles."

Charles kept silent for a while and then said to Gary, "To be honest, I have to thank God for letting me

meet Autumn. Now that she has gotten married to me, then she is my lawfully wedded wife and I will

love her forever."

"You suppose to do that." Gary replied slowly, but he then added, "But I think you should help her to

solve the problem about her grandmother."

Taking a sigh, Gary said, "Autumn must be sad since her natural mother treats her like this. Her

grandmother is her only family. If it is possible, you could bring her grandmother here. Don't let them

threaten Autumn again."

"I know that. I have asked someone to look into her grandma's condition." Charles nodded his

agreement as he said, "Grandpa, I was not going to tell you this news if you weren't aware of it.

Autumn hasn't completely accepted me yet. But I will wait until she is willing to tell me all these things

by herself."

"I understand." Gary replied. "Her real name is not that important, right? All I care is that she is our

family now."

"Ok, let's call it a day. Ye is still waiting for you. She has taken care of you for such a long time. Let her

have a good rest tonight." Gary urged Charles carefully.
