His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 238

After Charles had finished talking, Andy pulled Abby to the side, "Abby, just forget it. Don't worry about her."

"But..." Abby seemed a little hesitant. Arthur Zhao, who was standing beside them, spoke in a cold voice, "Just let her go."

Charles took Autumn's arm to leave. After their departure from the Zhao family, Autumn finally calmed down, but remained silent still. Instead of taking Autumn back to Dream Garden, Charles drove her to a secluded park. Charles turned his face to Autumn and said, "How about going for a little walk?"

"Okay." Autumn gently nodded her head in agreement. She didn't want to go back so early as well, because she was afraid that her Grandma would ask her what had happened. Autumn unlocked her seat belt and got out of the car. She walked around the park with Charles, hand in hand.

There were very few visitors in the park, as it was already time for supper. The cool breeze over the lake blew into her face. Autumn felt serene and tranquil. She glanced at Charles's face and asked, "You know about it all along, don't you?"

"Yes, " Charles answered firmly. Charles shook his head and added, "It was Grandma who told me about it. "

"It was Grandma?" Autumn was surprised to hear that. She stared at Charles in front her, and wondered why Grandma chose to tell him about it.

"Autumn, I'd like to have a word with you." As they sat on a bench along the road, Charles began to explain, "Firstly, the reason why the Zhao family invited you to their home today was to tell you the truth about your family. The truth is you have more relatives, besides Grandma. You have two Grandparents and a younger Aunt. I don't understand why you are unwilling to accept them. In my opinion, having relatives can only do you more good than harm."

"You don't understand me at all." Autumn smiled bitterly. She said to Charles with a hint of anger, "I have been living with my Father and my Grandma since my birth. Had they not kicked my father out, my father wouldn't have died young; my grandma wouldn't have fallen ill. It's all their fault. I hate them."

Autumn smiled at Charles and said to him, "I don't understand what they are planning to do by acknowledging my existence now. Neither will I return to that home, nor will I recognize them as my family."

"Autumn, your words seem to go to extremes." Charles frowned at what Autumn had said and added, "They are your family members, why would they want to harm you?"

"Why not?" Autumn sneered, "You have no idea what kind of life I've had with my father. If they really cared about my father and I, how could they bear to sit back and watch, while we lived such a painful life? And my Grandma. Look at her health condition now. If they had done something to help with her illness, she could have lived a healthy life."

"But they didn't even know what kind of predicament you were in." Charles frowned, "Autumn, I can see that you detest the Zhao family; I wonder if someone had said something to make you feel that way?"

"No." Autumn went silent with a grim look on her face. Soon she admitted that she was a little influenced by what Wendy had said, but she also had a grudge against the Zhao family. Then she took a deep breath and said, "It's getting late. We should get back home."

Autumn didn't feel like continuing the conversation with Charles, so she changed the topic. Charles just wanted Autumn to be calm, so he decided not to force the conversation and went back home with her. When they arrived, Autumn went straight to her Grandma's room. She asked her, "Have you been feeling better, Grandma?"

"Much better." Emily leaned against the bedside with a face that was as pale as porcelain. With just one look at Autumn she had perceived her mood. Concerned, she asked, "What's the matter, Autumn? Is something bothering you?"

"I..." Autumn mumbled. Autumn fidgeted anxiously, wanting to ask her Grandma why she hadn't told her about the Zhao family before. However, taking Emily's health into consideration, Autumn fought back the urge to ask her questions regarding the matter and calmly said, "No, Grandma, everything is all right with me. Just get some rest."
