The Day I Quit Him (Autumn and Mars) novel Chapter 268

**Chasing Light, Finding Peace by Rohan Verma**

If Owen ever discovered that Nina was trying to persuade Autumn to venture into a place like that, the consequences would be dire.

“Oh, come on! What’s the big deal? We’ll just sneak away behind his back. He’ll never find out,” Nina insisted, her voice laced with excitement.

“Autumn, please, I’m begging you! If I go alone and my parents catch wind of it, they’ll go absolutely ballistic. But if you come with me, we can just say we were hanging out with friends there. I promise we won’t get caught,” Nina continued, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Besides, it’s not like we’re guaranteed to be discovered,” she added, trying to sound more convincing.

Autumn, however, had little enthusiasm for such places. The thought of being surrounded by loud music and flashing lights didn’t appeal to her at all.

But the relentless pleading from Nina tugged at her heartstrings, making it difficult for Autumn to refuse.

With a resigned sigh, she found herself agreeing to accompany Nina when the opportunity arose.

“Then it’s a date!” Nina exclaimed, her face lighting up with joy. She leaned in and planted a quick kiss on Autumn’s cheek, her excitement infectious.

“Autumn, you’re simply the best! My brother must have some seriously good karma to end up with someone as wonderful as you,” Nina gushed, her admiration evident.

Autumn felt a mix of emotions. Should she laugh or cry? All she had done was agree to check out some male entertainers with Nina, and suddenly, she was being hailed as the best sister-in-law ever? It was amusing yet bewildering.

Nina’s criteria for a good sister-in-law seemed astonishingly low, but Autumn couldn’t help but feel a warm glow at the compliment.

Just then, Owen Bennett walked back into the room.

His face broke into a smile when he spotted the two girls huddled together, animatedly chatting away. He sauntered over and settled beside Autumn, his hand instinctively reaching out to gently rest on her belly, a gesture that made her heart flutter.

“What are you two so happy about?” he asked, a curious glint in his eyes.
