His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 228

"Well I will be ever grateful, " Andy responded with a bright and optimistic smile. He was somewhat comforted on hearing this as they were still worried about it. But they realized if Charles would like to do them this favor, then things would get better results when compared with their effort alone. And this was the right way to go about it. "I had a chat with my father-in-law about this. Though Autumn gets along very well with my little daughter, Cindy, she is still not familiar with our entire family. So we were hoping to get in touch with her as strangers instead of her family members so that she could get to know us gradually. Sometimes in this manner she may come to like our family, and after understanding the situation, it may become easier for her to accept the truth. What do you think?"

"Okay. Please do as you think appropriate, " responded Charles. He nodded in approval and went on to add, "I am just happy about the prospect of Autumn reuniting with her family members who will actually accept, love and cherish her as she is. I have no other wishes. But I just hope that she would not improperly belittle herself in front of me. The essential thing is that she should be able to be more nerved in face of Wendy."

"I know. I understand your concerns." Andy nodded in agreement. "Well, then since everything seems to be in order we will wait for your arrival at home tomorrow, " said Andy with great appreciation.

"Okay, " replied Charles briefly. At the moment, Chris was feeling bored in one corner of the room. She approached Autumn once she saw a little and lovely girl sitting beside her. Chris walked over and started to play with Cindy who didn't reject her at all, and was frolicking cheerfully.

"Autumn, who is this child? She is so adorable and lovely. I like her very much." Chris asked Autumn while poking fun at her. "Wow, Autumn, she looks very much like you. Don't you see the striking resemblance? Is she your illegitimate daughter?" Chris joked around with Autumn.

"Chris, what nonsense are you babbling." Patting Chris's back gently, Autumn complained, "I came across Cindy in Z City when I traveled there. This is her mother. Please don't crack such jokes in her presence."

Saying this, Autumn took a glance at Abby to check her temperament as Autumn was afraid that Abby would be annoyed by such an absurd and inappropriate joke.

"It really does not matter. It is just a joke." Abby smiled softly and jumped into the conversation, "Cindy looks like me while in fact I look a little like Autumn, so it is no wonder you feel that way." Abby explained to Chris patiently.

Upon hearing this, Chris glanced back and forth at Autumn and Abby, who indeed looked very much like Autumn. They were as alike as two peas in a pod. Chris marveled at such a "coincidence" of their striking resemblance.

"Autumn, please have a child with my brother soon. I mean look at how adorable Cindy is! Don't you want a lovely daughter like her? I also look forward to have a lovely niece jumping and playing around in the house." Chris kept joking as Autumn soon blushed out of embarrassment. However, in that moment she was also happy at the thought of having a baby with Charles in the near future.

"Yes, your sister is right. You have been married to Mr. Lu for quite a while now. So why don't you have a baby with him, Autumn?" Abby also echoed Chris's sentiments and thoughts. Looking at Autumn, Abby rejoiced in secret at a stroke of luck as she almost revealed her identity to Autumn. Luckily, Andy stopped her in time. "Well, where is Sam? Why didn't I see him around today?"

Chris was taken aback as she heard Abby mention the name of Sam. Chris was always waiting for his presence but he still didn't show up even after all the time that had passed.

Taking a look at Chris, expressionless yet a little bit upset, Autumn hastily explained, "He has moved abroad and he won't come back soon."

In fact, Sam had actually called Autumn this very morning, telling her that he intended to come back soon as he knew that it was Chris's birthday. However, his flight had been delayed, so he asked Autumn for help and he hoped that Autumn would explain it to Chris and told her that he would come back later. But Autumn forced herself not to inform Chris this news. She simply felt that it was more appropriate for Sam to explain it in person.

And on the other hand, she hoped Sam would surprise her. Perhaps, Chris would be more cheerful if Sam could wish her a happy birthday personally.

"Oh, I see." Abby replied while nodding her head.

After remaining silent for a long while, Chris turned to Autumn, expressionless. "Autumn... Did he contact you recently?"

"He called me once." Autumn replied as Chris looked even more upset than before.
