His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 126

Autumn, still anxious about Charles's condition, asked the doctor when exactly he would fully recover. "Let's go. The doctor said I'll be fine, " Charles said, taking the prescription before going.

"But I'm still a little bit worried, "

She said with a frown on her face. It was his head tha got hurt! Better to be safe than sorry.

"I'm fine, " he said, trying to comfort her.

"We still have an appointment with grandpa for dinner.

We'd better hurry. We can't keep them waiting for us."

Those words alleviated Autumn's concerns as they headed to the restaurant. Upon arriving, they spotted Gary and Chris waiting for them in front of the restaurant. Autumn was surprised to see that Sam was also there.

"Come here both of you, " Chris said, gesturing towards them to sit beside her.

Though she hadn't fully recovered from the ankle sprain, she pulled a chair beside her for Autumn to sit on and gave her a meaningful wink.

Autumn found an excuse to go to the restroom. She also motioned for Chris to follow her out. Once they were out of the dining area, Autumn asked her, "What's going on?

Why is he also here with us?"

"Grandpa called him and extended an invitation. I didn't expect that he'd actually accept it and come over, " Chris replied, pleased to see him here. Autumn doubted her words, suspicious that Chris might have tried to convince grandpa to call Sam. "Yvonne, please help me. Now that you and my brother are happily together now, do you want to see me end up all alone? Besides, I won't stay home and be a bother to you if I have my own love life, " Chris said, holding Autumn's hand.

"Alright, I get what you're trying to say, "

Autumn could only agree helplessly.

She had already talked to Sam several times and found out that he did not appear to be interested in Chris at all. However, Chris liked him so much that she decided to lend a hand.

"Let's go back. They might be wondering where we are, " she said, pulling Chris's arm. As they walked back to the table, Autumn saw Sam filling a cup of alcohol for Charles. She immediately walked over to Charles and took his glass away. "Sam, Charles just had his stitches removed today. You can drink with him whenever you want but now, " she said, looking at Sam.

"I'll be fine, " Charles said, trying to take back his glass from Autumn.

"I drank a lot when we went to Z City. One drink won't matter, " he continued while putting the glass on the table.

"She has always been like this. Sometimes she gets overprotective, " he told him.

Sam kept quiet and didn't say anything in return.

God knew how much he wanted to be treated the same way. He wanted Autumn to care about him that much. "I think it'll be fine to drink just a little, " he said, pouring half a cup. He didn't have the heart to fill the glass as she continued to stare at him.

Autumn had no choice but to let it go, seeing as Charles said he could drink and Sam said there's no harm in drinking a little.

During the meal, Gary kept talking to Sam, trying to know more about him. Sam continued to politely answer his questions. As it went on, Gary looked more and more interested in him.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Gary asked Sam directly.

Everyone present froze for a second upon hearing his question. Sam, who was also shocked, took an instinctive look at Autumn seated across from him.

"Why are you looking at her? I'm talking to you, " Gary interrogated him further.
