His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 4

After hanging up the phone, Autumn decided to have lunch. Her colleagues had already left the office. She felt a sharp pain in the cervical spine as a result of years of hard work.

She stood up and stretched a bit. Hungry, she went downstairs to grab a quick bite. When she reached the ground floor, she saw a hazy yet familiar silhouette. It was Yvonne holding a man's arm tightly.

Didn't Yvonne run away from the wedding? What was she doing here?

Just when Autumn came forward to see who the lady was, someone grabbed her into a tight embrace. A giant truck whizzed past her.

"Do you want to die?" Charles shouted in an angry yet concerned tone. Autumn pushed Charles away only to find that the lady across the street had disappeared.

"I'm talking to you, lady. Do you hear me?" Charles was boiling with anger. He came all the way from his office to have lunch with Autumn, only to see her desperately run into the middle of the road. He was still a little scared of what could have happened to Autumn.

If he didn't pull her over, she would…

"What brings you here?" Autumn asked Charles.

She would be able to get back her identity only if she found Yvonne. She didn't want to live in Yvonne's name any more.

Charles looked grim.

He had just saved Autumn's life but she looked so cold.

Shouldn't she throw herself into Charles's arms and thank him for being a saviour?

"Hey. I saved you, but you…"

"Thank you." Autumn's thanks subsided Charles's anger. But he didn't know what to say.

"Thank you." Autumn thought Charles didn't hear what she said clearly, so she repeated it, "If it weren't for you, I might have died."

"So you do know the ways of the world." Charles said tauntingly.

Autumn bit her lip and didn't say a word.

"Did you eat?" As Autumn was mum, Charles decided to change the topic, "How about having a lunch together?"

"No, I don't think so." Autumn shook her head, "I have already had some food. Go back. I have to work overtime today and might return late tonight. So, don't wait for me."

Then she turned around and left. This irritated Charles.

How dare Autumn say no to him?

Good!

Very good!

Autumn had to pay a price for it!
