His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 131

"Shut up!" Gary snapped out his strict order. No matter what, Yvonne was a guest, and they were supposed to host her irrespective of personal matters. If they turned her away, the Lu Family would be rumored to be rude, unwelcoming and unfriendly. "Ye, she is your cousin. I'll leave the matter to your discretion."

In Gary's opinion, whatever Yvonne's purpose for this visit was, the problem should be settled by Autumn herself.

"Yes, grandpa." Autumn obeyed his order too.

But she knew exactly what the ground reality was. Even though it might seem like Gary was on Yvonne's side, he actually was not. In reality, he was laying down the facts and boundaries for Yvonne, by showing her that he was still entrusting Autumn with all the important matters. He also indicated that if at all she intended to stay the night, it would mean nothing. The only mistress in this house was Autumn. And if Autumn didn't want her to stay over, Yvonne had to leave.

But Yvonne was not smart enough to understand these subtle hints. Once she heard Gary's remark, she smirked triumphantly, as she thought that her efforts had born fruits. Before she came, she tried to lay down her trap and made several inquiries. And when she found out that Autumn was not at home, she decided to call Gary and chat with him, for a while, with an intention of making him like her. And her plans had succeeded as she thought, as it appeared to be.

Gary cast a glance at Yvonne, and said, "Rest assured, Miss Ye. My granddaughter is just a bit grumpy, please don't take it personally."

He then flashed a welcoming smile, "Since it's Yvonne's home, and you're Yvonne's cousin, please make yourself comfortable and feel at home. You can stay as long as you wish for."

Yvonne was delighted once she heard that, if not carried away. As she didn't get this one, either, she grinned, and thanked Gary, "Thank you, grandpa, for your generosity."

With now a displeased tone, Gary decided to be straightforward. He said with a frown, "Call me Gary, please. I am not your grandfather, Miss Ye. 'Grandpa' makes it sound like I have two granddaughters-in-law."

His tone was gentle yet his words wounded Yvonne's pride. Her heart felt like it was suddenly encased in ice as she was finally reminded that only Autumn was Charles's legitimate wife, who was accepted and loved by Gary.

"Yes, Mr. Lu...Gary." She quickly repeated while rectifying her mistake.

Yvonne had to be extremely cautious with her every move. It was almost like walking in a minefield, one wrong step could put her out of the house. Her purpose should not be exposed to the Lu Family, under any circumstance, before she made Charles fall for her. Although her moving in today may seem hurried, it was actually a planned and deliberate move. She only wanted to make Charles, and his family, too, start to like her little by little.

"Follow me, then." Autumn said coldly as she turned to Yvonne. The latter was displeased with her tone but still followed her command. As the door closed behind them, Yvonne suddenly changed her expression. In an arrogant tone, she addressed Autumn, "See? As long as I want to move in, I will move in! And I'm warning you, Autumn Ye, as we are now living under the same roof, you will behave properly around me. And irrespective of what I want to do, you will help me. Do you understand?"

Autumn let out a scornful chuckle. She sneered, "Under the same roof? Do you really think you're moving in?

"Grandpa has made his decision and he decided to entrust me with this matter. If I say you're moving in, you are moving in and if I say no, you're not. But I do admire your courage and dedication. Just to carry out your stupid plans, you risked sending your parents away from your petty company, which was inches away from bankruptcy. You have some nerve."
