His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 507

Several hours later, Chris settled on a ton of baby stuff. When she turned around, she caught sight of a pretty, slender woman. She stood in front of shelves but looked a bit awkward, as if she didn't know what to do.

With her was a fair-skinned boy, about three or four years old. Chris was struck by gorgeous eyes that appeared to twinkle. He was adorable. The child was staring obsessively at a harmonica.

"Do you like this, Charlie?" the woman asked, stooping to the boy's level. The cute boy nodded, and the woman bit her lower lip before saying,"Okay then, we'll take it."

Gettting the harmonica from the shelf, the woman took the boy's hand and headed towards the counter. As they approached, she met Chris' confused gaze.

While in deep thought, Chris stared at the woman, a finger tapping her chin. She kept thinking she had met her somewhere. She thought harder until it finally came to her. 'Is that Leila?'

She stood up straighter. 'What is she doing here?' Chris wondered.

'And who is that little boy with her?' A hundred questions were running in her head.

"Miss Lu…" a surprised Leila mouthed as she saw Chris. Deliberately, she hid the boy behind her back to prevent Chris from looking at him.

But the child stuck his head out from behind Leila and stared curiously at Chris' bulging belly.

The boy's eyes were twinkling as Chris stared at him. She was wondering where she had seen something similar. Instinct had her turning around to look at Charles, who was paying for her purchases.

After he finished paying, Charles asked,"What are you looking at?"

"Over there, Charles," Chris pointed towards where Leila stood. She intended to show Charles how much the boy with Leila looked like him.

Charles looked at where Chris gestured but saw nothing. He was puzzled and stared at his sister. "What am I supposed to see?" he asked Chris in confusion.

Chris turned and saw Leila running, dragging the child behind her. Heart pounding quickly, she wanted to follow to confirm the boy's identity. But she resisted the impulse.

She paused to think, 'I hope that is not Charles' child with Leila. I figure he's about three years old. Three years ago, Charles and Autumn were still together. If that boy is his son, then it only means my brother cheated on his wife.'

Some part of her wished the boy was Charles' son. 'If he did cheat on Autumn, maybe she wasn't that important to him. Besides, maybe Leila can help Charles finally forget Autumn, ' she thought.

Being a woman of action, Chris decided it was time to have a talk with Leila to confirm her suspicions and set things straight.

That evening, she hired a detective to find out where Leila lived. 'Fortunately, Sam is away on a business trip. Otherwise, he would never allow this, ' she thought. It was not long before she learned where Leila was staying.

Chris got up earlier than usual. After getting dressed, she headed to Leila's house. When she arrived at the apartment building, she waited at the corner. At 7:30, Leila and the boy came out and walked to a nearby kindergarten. Chris followed at a distance to avoid being seen, never taking her eyes off the little boy.

The longer she saw the child with Leila, the more suspicious she became. 'What a coincidence, ' she thought. The boy not only looked like Charles but they also shared similar characteristics based on her observations.

Leila watched Charlie go inside the school. When she turned around, she caught sight of Chris, standing not far from where she was. Chris flew into a panic and tried walking away quickly.

Then she mumbled to comfort herself,"I came here to find out about the boy's identity, so there's no need to hide."
