His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 564

Chris frowned and continued,"Charlie has the blood of Lu family. He rightfully deserves our love and care, but you..."

Chris paused for a moment and then continued,"After all, you are Charlie's mother. You'd better seek my grandpa's help to gain entry into Lu family."

She then suggested to Leila,"It will be better if you take Charlie with you. He will comfort and amuse my grandpa immensely. When he softens up enough, he may speak in your favor."

That was all the help that Chris had to give to Leila.

Leila had expected Chris to offer her fullest support and assistance. She desperately needed her help to be admitted into Lu family, however, she met with disappointment. Feeling helpless, she stood up to bid farewell to Chris,"Anyway, I am indebted to you for your earlier support. Now I have to rely on my own self to achieve my goal, it seems."

After Leila left, Sam came into the room carrying their son in his arms. Chris smiled and enjoyed the pleasure of amusing her son. Meanwhile, Sam peeled an apple, heated it and lovingly began to feed her.

"Did Leila come to ask you to appeal to Charles on her behalf once again?" Sam enquired.

"Why else?" Chris nodded gently with a resigned sigh.

"She has no right to keep pestering you," Sam said with irritation and distaste. "You should not entertain her but dismiss her instantly and rudely if need be."

"Sam, I know! I am not a silly woman." Chris admitted to her previous mistake. "After deep reflection, I realize I can not change Charles's mind. If I persisted in helping Leila, it would upset Charles."

On hearing Chris say this, Sam felt greatly relieved.

Isla, informed of Charles's decision to throw a birthday party for his love child, Charlie, lost no time in calling Charles, as the information came from a reliable source.

'How could Charles celebrate Charlie's birthday on the day that Autumn went missing? How could Charles forget Autumn so easily?' Isla wondered.

"Isla, why are you calling me?" Charles was sitting on the bed in Autumn and his bedroom. The layout of this room remained unchanged and untouched. He was happy at the prospect of Autumn's return.

Isla questioned Charles over the phone,"I was recently informed that...."

Isla paused, took a deep breath, and then continued,"you have decided to arrange a birthday party for your love child on the same day Autumn went missing. Is this true? Can I believe this news?"

"Yes, it is true." Charles found it unnecessary to lie to Isla. He had decided that celebrating Charlie's birthday would add meaning to the painful day.

"Charles, how could you do this?" Isla fiercely questioned Charles,"On that day, we have planned to mourn to honor Autumn's memory. Instead, you change your mind and play with the emotions of that sad day."

"Isla, you misunderstand me," Charles had planned to give everyone concerned, including Isla, a big surprise by announcing Autumn's return at a wonderful moment.
