His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 240

"That very year while your father was sick, he always worried that your mother would blackmail the Zhao family by using you. That was why he never told them the whole story. Your father didn't want you to be used as a tool for Wendy's plans, do you understand that?" With a wry smile, Emily said, "Do you remember that your mom made a hell of a fus at your father's funeral? She said that she'd have to take you back, but what happened then? She had been looking for the Zhao family when she was taking care of you, probably to ask for support. But when she couldn't find them, she wasted no time and sent you back to me. You still remember, right?"

Autumn nodded, with her face cold. She did remember that.

When Wendy brought her home that year, Autumn was really happy. After all, kids would always be happy to stay with their parents. However, Wendy only gave her a difficult time, which was totally the extreme opposite to how she treated Yvonne.

"When your father was dying, he told me that his greatest wish in life was to see you return to the Zhao family. But I am now too old, and my capabilities are limited. I have tried everything I could to get in touch with the Zhao family, but I wasn't able to even get a number. Meeting them in the hospital must have been fate. I must now fulfill the young master's wish." Emily said, holding Autumn's hand.

"Autumn, I did not tell this to you before, but it is the whole truth. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it. Now that the Zhao family has returned, they really want you back. You are now a grownup and I am sure that you have developed your own wisdom and judgement. You do know who is good to you and who is not. I just hope that you don't turn them down. Give them a chance and try to accept them and see if they are really good to you. By then if you still are not willing to go back to them, I will certainly not stop you anymore." Holding Autumn's hand, Emily said, "Remember, it was your father's dying wish. Now, it is also mine. Could you promise me?"

Autumn frowned tightly. She did not know whether she should promise or not. She was totally confused by what Emily had just said. She was losing her focus with all this pressure.

"Grandma, let me think about it." Autumn did not make a promise right at that moment, but she did not turn it down either. Emily was right, that she could already make her own sound judgement. She knew Abby well for she had been in contact with Abby for quite a while now. The same could be said about Doctor Zhao.

Deep inside, she wanted to try and get to know the Zhao family.

When Autumn came out from Emily's room, Arthur had not left. He was sitting on the couch, talking to Charles. Seeing Autumn come out, he stood up quickly, and in an awkward manner, he said, "Autumn, do you have some time later? I want to take you somewhere."

Autumn shook her head, then nodded. Arthur smiled with amusement.

Arthur took Autumn to a cafe where there were cubicles to sit in. He brought Autumn into one of the cubicles, while he himself sat in another one. After a while, Wendy also entered the cafe. But due to the partitions, she didn't see Autumn there.

"You've come." Arthur said dryly. "I've already ordered a cup of coffee for you. See if you like it.""

"Thanks, Doctor Zhao." After a sip, Wendy asked Arthur, "Doctor Zhao, what was it you wanted to see me about today?"

"It is about Autumn." Looking coldly at Wendy, Doctor Zhao continued, "She is Bowen's only daughter. And she is yours, I know. I just want to ask you today, if we, the Zhao family would take her back, as her mother, will you agree?"
