The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 103

"We are just friends. It just so happens that I have come to visit Z City, while he is here on business. Our meeting is totally coincidental, " Autumn explained. "By the way, my husband is also here to see me because of the accident. Let me introduce you to him later."

Her eyes twinkled with pleasure when she spoke about Charles. It was too obvious that the couple were very devoted to each other.

Just as Abby was about to open her mouth, Andy secretly grabbed her arm and stopped her from saying anything. He said to Autumn, "With pleasure. It's a pity that we will be leaving tomorrow, but I have booked a room at Hong Fu Restaurant for tonight. We will be waiting for you two."

"That's very kind of you, but please don't bother, " Autumn promptly refused. Although she was a bit upset about their leaving so soon, she managed to hold it back and said, "Cindy is injured, you better take care of her first and make sure to have good rest tonight."

"That's alright. We will take an afternoon flight, there is no hurry." While Andy was insisting on arranging dinner, Charles pushed the door open and came in. Everyone inside saw a man, over 6 feet tall, holding two marshmallows awkwardly. It was very amusing.

"Here you are, kiddo." Charles passed a marshmallow to Cindy as casually as possible, and gave the other to Autumn.

"So is this your husband?" Andy let out a smile and asked Autumn. Holding her marshmallow with embarrassment, Autumn shyly nodded her head and said, "This is my husband Charles. We got married a month ago."

She then turned to Charles, "And they are Cindy's parents as I have mentioned to you earlier." Looking up at him, she then asked playfully, "Take a look, don't you think that Abby and I look very much alike?"

"Sorry, but no." Charles shook his head seriously. In his opinion, Autumn was unique and nobody could compare to her in any way.

"How come...I think we are almost like twins, " Autumn muttered. When comparing Autumn with Abby, Andy fully understood and agreed with Charles. He had to admit that Autumn and his wife resembled each other, but only physically. However, Andy knew that Abby was the one for him. He was sure that he could easily pick out his loved one, even if they looked exactly the same.

He assumed that Charles might have been thinking in the same way.

"Charles, your wife has helped us a lot to look after Cindy these past few days. To show our gratitude, Abby and I have booked a table at Hong Fu Restaurant tonight. We would be very happy if both of you could come, " Andy warmly invited Charles.

From what she knew of Charles, Autumn was expecting him to decline. So she was caught by surprise when he agreed with no hesitation.

"She has not recovered yet and will still need some rest, but we will see you tonight, " Charles replied as he was taking Autumn back.

Autumn glanced at Cindy, who was on the bed enjoying her marshmallow, and reluctantly left with Charles.

After they had left, Abby sighed and murmured, "Sam is such an eligible young man, why didn't she choose him?"

"Why did you choose me from your many suitors then?" Andy asked her back.

"Because you are nice to me, " Abby replied without any hesitation. "I did have many suitors before marriage. But they were either after my family status, or my beauty. You were the only one who really cared for me. I was wise enough to choose you of course."

Abby blushed and said, "Moreover, even after all these years of marriage, you still love me and are devoted to me. Isn't that a hard evidence of my wise decision?"
