The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 251 Arriving In Japan

"So essentially what you are saying is..... only if I break up with Rachel you will accept me as your

father, right?" Edward looked at Chris in a rather cold tone and asked.

"Well yes." Chris looked at Edward and added, "Just drop the idea all together, I would never come to

live under the same roof with Rachel under any circumstance."

"Chris......" Edward frowned, "What on earth did she do to offend you so much? And why are you so

against her? You know, she always spoke up for you in front of me, trying to be nice with you. Why

couldn't you show a little mercy and learn something from her? Whatever it is that is going on between

you and her has clearly moved past, and instead of hampering our relation I think you should try to

forgive her."

Edward sighed, " You are my daughter, Chris. And she is my future wife, so both of you are the most

important people to me in my entire life. Why would you......"

"We come from different worlds, anyway, here's my request. If you can't oblige to it, then don't ask me

for anything in return, I am very sure you will see through Rachel one day in the future......" Chris

sighed, " Whatever, we can save our chat for that fine day."

"Chris, I......" Edward was trying to say something more, but Chris abruptly cut him off, "Grandpa raised

me up, and now he is old enough, I think it is my turn to return the favor with gratitude and take care of

him. You got Rachel so I should not worry."

Chris laughed and went on, "Well by the way, I have totally forgot to congratulate you now that you are Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

going to get married next month. I...... I won't be able to attend your wedding."

Chris did not count on Edward to break up with Rachel because of her remarks, but just gave it a try.

Judging from how Edward reacted, Chris surprisingly found that in his heart, she...... was actually not

as important as Rachel.

Even though it was an uncomfortable reality, she could at least face it calmly.

Rachel was in a constant state of worry about Chris saying something inappropriate, so she hurried up

to Chris as she saw her coming out, "Chris, your father really wishes that you come live with us, and so

do I wish for the same with all my heart. I know we have had some misunderstandings between each

other, but I am sure we can figure it out after you move in."

"Miss Bai. Give your thoughts a rest, I would not live with you. Now you can relax a little bit and stop

putting on an act in front of me. I am well familiar with your age old charade." Chris sneered, "He have

no idea about what kind of woman you really are, but I know it. You better behave yourself, otherwise I

will not let it go this time."

"You......" Rachel was thrilled in heart, but she acted like nothing happened and said to Chris, "Don't get

me wrong, I meant no harm. I really hope......"

"Rachel." Edward stopped Rachel as she was going to continue her drama, he had his own grievance

after talking to Chris. He had no idea why Chris would ask him to break up with Rachel. "Let's go."

He thought to himself that he would not beg Chris to change her mind, rather wished he never had

such a daughter.

Rachel was ecstatic and elated to see this, and even pretended to comfort Edward on their way back

home, "Chris took things too hard now, just give her some more time. She will come round."

Edward did not utter a single word.

Once Autumn arrived in Japan, Hoada Masahiro himself came to receive her at the airport. He was

delighted to see Autumn coming out through the departure terminal, so he put on a wide smile on his

face and greeted her, "Miss Ye, it feels like I have waited a long time for your arrival."

"Mr. Hoada." Autumn responded with a slight nod.

"I have arranged for a couple of activities this evening, it's our last chance to relax. We have a plenty of

things to do from tomorrow onwards." Hoada Masahiro smiled as he opened the car door for Autumn.

Before she entered the vehicle, he helped Autumn to load her luggage into the trunk, and then he said,

"I'm so sorry as I had no idea what's your requirement and expectations are from a hotel, I did not book

one. If you don't mind...... You can stay at my house."

"No, I don't want to trouble you." Autumn frowned slightly, she had already booked a hotel room before

she got there. The hotel was the same one Charles was staying in, but as she heard Hoada Masahiro

saying this, she still felt...... uncomfortable. "I have already booked one, could you please drive me

there."

"Oh, is that so?" Hoada Masahiro glanced at Autumn through the rearview mirror with a blank face.

When he heard the property's name that Autumn told him, he added, "Oh, that hotel is truly a good

one."

Autumn smiled and said nothing more.

The hotel is situated in the bustling downtown, Hoada Masahiro got off the car and took out Autumn's

baggage as they arrived at the hotel. "Miss Ye, so..... I'll pick you up at night?"

"No, thank you for the offer." Autumn smiled as she added, "I would love to catch up with some work

first, I cannot lift my spirits if we don't get the plan. I'll accompany you out after we get the plan and it

would be my treat, how does that sound?"

"Since you insist so much I will not pressure you, but I have to still remind you of not being so tired, I'll

pick you up tomorrow morning to get familiar with both the company and hotel's environment." Hoada

Masahiro was easy to persuade this time, he agreed on all the things that Autumn had requested.

Autumn took her passport to check in to the hotel, as she turned around she recognized Leila. She was

dressing in a suit, which tailored to flatter her beautiful figure. All the men in the lobby could not help

staring at her.

Fearing that she would be noticed, Autumn put on a pair of sunglasses hastily and pulled down the

brim of her hat in an attempt to disguise herself.

"Mr. Lu, I have brought the documents...... Yes, I'll be there soon." In all fairness, Leila was very

dedicated and serious about her work. Autumn could not help smiling because she knew Charles was

on the other end of the phone. She couldn't wait to see the expression on Charles's face when he

would see her.

Autumn's room was on 16th floor, she could see the bustling crowd through the huge glass window. As

she lay on the bed, she pulled out her cell phone and called Charles, but the line she called was

continuously busy.

She had no other option but to call Leila. "I called Charles but I couldn't get through, how long would it

be before he is done?"

"Autumn, you..." Leila sighed. As she saw Charles was drinking at the table, she pompously smiled.

"Mr. Lu is really busy right now, he have not had a minute of rest since he came to Japan, I am going to

hang up if you don't have something important."

"Wait." Autumn frowned and said to Leila, "Please ask him to call me back the minute he is free."
