His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 506

Leila's initial plan was to bring the boy to see the Lu family a year after Autumn's disappearance. But she had two fears. One was that Charles might suspect the child's identity. And the other was that Autumn might suddenly appear. So she kept putting off her plan.

Then recently, she learned Charles was a frequent guest at one bar. She decided to work there. After more than a month of waiting, she finally came face-to-face with him.

She was glad that all her efforts were not in vain.

Charles scowled at Leila on hearing her words, as he said,"Autumn must be living somewhere else already. Maybe she has a problem with me, and that's why she hasn't come back to me."

Leila raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. "Come on, Mr. Lu. Stop deceiving yourself," she said. "It's been too many years since she left. Shouldn't you set her free? Look at me."

She checked to see if he was paying attention. "Many years ago, you meant everything to me. And I thought you would accept me if I took care of you and stayed loyal to you. I was even dreaming that you would divorce Autumn for me. And if that had been the case, I was determined to go see Autumn to apologize."

She gave a self-mocking smile and confessed,"But when you fired me, I realized I was coveting someone who never belonged to me. Autumn was the only one you loved. It took me three years to let you go and move on. So I know you can do it, too."

Charles gave her a bitter smile. "I'm sorry," he said earnestly. He sighed while thinking, 'To keep Autumn from becoming paranoid, I was cruel to Leila. Now she's so thin that I can barely recognize her.'

This time, Leila gave him a real smile. "I'm telling you these things not because I want an apology. But I do hope you can forget Autumn, and go on with your life. She's gone now, and you can't bring her back. It's best to let her go and move on," she advised.

Charles gave her a wry smile. "I know I should let go of Autumn and move on with my life. I've tried but I just can't," he sighed.

Suddenly, he stood up and said,"Let's go!"

"Go where?" Leila asked. His command stunned her.

"I had drinks, so I can't drive. Besides, your manager said that you had a son and he was sick. Is he in the hospital?" Charles spoke without looking at Leila.

"No, he isn't in the hospital," she quickly replied. "He just has a cold and is resting at home."

Her expression became tender and affectionate when Leila spoke of the boy. Her initial plan was to use the child to get Charles to marry her. But over time, she developed a real fondness for the boy and began to treat him like her own as he grew up. She found herself vowing to do anything to provide him with the best life.

Maybe he looked like Charles, and this made Leila accept and regard him as her own. But the boy was aloof and indifferent to her.

Despite his lack of interest in Leila, she continued to love him and hoped his attitude towards her would eventually change.

"I'll come with you and visit him," Charles suddenly offered. "I didn't expect you to get married after your disappearance. And who is the boy's father?" he asked.

Charles didn't hear everything Leila's manager said since the bar was too noisy.

She looked at him before replying,"I'm… I'm not married."

"You mean you're single and unmarried?" Charles was incredulous. It was the last thing he expected to hear. Charles could not help but marvel at Leila for being a strong woman.

He insisted,"I'll take you home." Leila smiled gratefully but politely refused his offer. She said it would not be appropriate given his condition. She was thinking, 'It's not yet time for him to meet the child.'
