His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 190 An Overseas Call

"Exactly. Such an horrible mother, don't you think?" Autumn gave a bitter smile and continued, "Of

course I refused to marry Charles at that time. But Wendy Ye... took my grandma away and hid her.

She told me that my grandma would receive medical attention if I married Charles. If I refused, I would

never ever see my grandma again." Autumn couldn't hold back her tears. Chris was filled with anger.

How could a mother be such a monster to her daughter?

"Autumn, please stop crying. You got married to my brother and you are a part of our family now.

Grandpa, Charles and I will protect you from Wendy Ye." Chris held Autumn's hand to comfort her.

Autumn dried her tears and continued, "If Wendy Ye had my grandma treated by a doctor, I would have

been grateful for that. However, she didn't even hire a nurse to take care of my grandma. She only

used my grandma to blackmail me."

With her illness, Emily was at death's door. Every time Autumn thought of it, she regretted having

trusted Wendy Ye. She realized that Wendy Ye would never be a kindhearted person.

"Then, what happened?" Chris didn't expect Autumn to have such a miserable past. She felt sorry for

her.

"I managed to find my grandma, but she is dying. I hate Wendy and Yvonne for that. When Yvonne had

a miscarriage, I called Wendy and told her that I wouldn't take care of her." Chris was already family to

Autumn, so Autumn wanted her to know everything, and to know that not all mothers loved their

children.

"Wendy Ye... didn't care about Yvonne at all. She said that since Charles was not the baby's father, it

did not matter that Yvonne lost the baby. She asked me to take good care of Yvonne, hoping that

Yvonne could take Charles from me when she recovers." Chris was dumbfounded..

"What? How is that possible?" Chris couldn't believe her ears.

"You see, Wendy Ye is such a selfish person. She only cares about herself. Yvonne inherited that from

her. They don't care about the baby at all. Chris, you don't have to feel sorry for her." Autumn

reassured Chris.

Despite Autumn's encouragement, Chris got even more depressed. She gave a wry smile and said,

"Autumn, I know you are trying to comfort me. But I feel sorry for the baby. No matter how evil Yvonne

is, the baby is innocent. I..."

"Chris, you shouldn't think it that way." Autumn interrupted, "You have prevented a possible tragedy. Do

you think Yvonne would keep the baby? Even if she did, do you think she would take good care of it?

The baby would suffer a lot."

Autumn grabbed Chris's hand and continued, "Chris, we are a family. No matter what you have done,

Charles and I will protect you. Don't dwell too much on that. Everything is going to be fine."

Chris felt much better after being comforted by Autumn. Autumn left Chris's room and returned to her

bedroom. When she was about to take a shower, she received an overseas call from Sam.

"Hello, Sam. So you are free now?" Autumn asked, "Have you made your decision?"

"Come on, Autumn. I'm not calling for that. How is Chris?" Sam asked in a serious tone. A company

staff had told him that Chris hadn't gone to work for several days and hadn't answered the phone calls.

Sam was very worried about Chris, so he called Autumn to ask what had happened to her.

Autumn hesitated then told Sam what happened. "Sam, Chris is very upset now. I'm so worried about

her..."

Actually Chris felt much better after the conversation. Autumn exaggerated it on purpose to find out

whether Sam would come back to Y City for Chris.

"Sam, are you still listening?" Autumn asked.

There was a pause, then Sam answered, "I'm unable to come back right now. But I will finish my work

as soon as possible and then return to Y City. Little Ye, please take good care of Chris. Chris is still

new to these things and it will be hard for her."

"Please rest assured. Chris is more than a sister, and I will take good care of her." Autumn answered

with a smile. Sam cared about Chris very much. She hoped that Sam would eventually fall in love with

Chris.

After hanging up, Autumn took a shower and went to bed. She was so exhausted that she didn't wake

up until the evening. Charles came into the room and asked Autumn to have supper, "Autumn, wake

up. It's time to have supper."

"What time is it?" Autumn asked as she sat up on the bed and rubbed her eyes.

Charles glanced at his watch and answered, "It's 7 PM. You can go back to sleep after supper."

Chris seemed much better at the dining table and even had a smile on her face. Autumn asked

Charles, "Charles, how is Joanna? When will she have the operation?"

"The operation will be tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning?" Autumn asked in surprise as she didn't expect Joanna to have an operation so

soon.

"The sooner she has the operation, the better. She must wake up, so that Miss Zhao can clear her

name." Charles replied.

Early the next morning, Autumn readied herself and was going to take the subway to the company, but

Charles insisted on driving her there. As he pulled into the entrance of the building, several employees

saw Autumn getting out of his car.

Autumn cast a sharp glance at Charles and said, "I told you not to drive me here. They are going to

gossip about me again."

"It's no big deal. We are married." Charles answered and kissed her goodbye.

By the time Autumn entered Cloud Advertising Company, gossip had already spread. She stepped into

the hall and saw the employees gathered around. Upon seeing Autumn, they immediately went back to

their desks and began to work.

Autumn ignored them. She hadn't come to the company for a long time, and she had a lot of

documents to deal with.

To her surprise, she saw Isla. Isla was supposed to be at home resting. What was she doing here?

Autumn pushed her office door open and called to Isla, "Isla, come to my office."

Isla was a little confused. She stood up and entered Autumn's office. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
