The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 113

Because Isla insisted on asking her about her love affairs, Autumn told her the truth about having gotten married just recently.

"What?

You got married? Who is your husband?

Is he handsome?" Isla asked her too many questions in one go. Autumn smiled and asked Isla, "Which question do you want me to answer first?"

"I don't care. You must answer my questions honestly. Tell me why did you get married secretly, without even inviting me. Don't try to lie to me, otherwise I'll beat you!" Isla said with dissatisfaction.

Isla was from another city, so she had no close friends other than Autumn in Y City. Isla and Autumn had promised each other that when either one of them got married, the other would be her bridesmaid. But now, Isla was a little annoyed at the fact that Autumn had gotten married without even informing Isla.

"Isla, don't be angry. I didn't do it on purpose. Forgive me, please." Autumn sighed. Then she told Isla everything. Isla got indignant when she learned that Wendy had compelled Autumn to marry a complete stranger.

"Wendy is so evil! She had never given you her love. I once hoped that when you'd become an independent woman, you would be able to get rid of her from your life, but now it feels like she has taken away any chance of happiness you could ever have in your whole life. She disgusts me!"

Although Autumn had told her story in a calm manner, Isla imagined how desperate she must have been when she was compelled by her mother to marry a man she didn't love. She felt sorry for Autumn.

"Don't worry." Autumn patted Isla's hand and consoled her, "Look at me. I'm fine, really. Don't be worried."

"I just feel so sorry for you, " Isla said. Isla knew clearly that for Autumn, her grandma was the most important person in the world, but it was her own mother that had threatened her with her grandma's well-being. Her mother was a vile person! "Ye, why didn't you call me or ask me for help? I..."

"What could you have done even if I called you for help?" Autumn interrupted her. Autumn gave a wry smile and said, "My grandma's life was in her hands, so the only thing I could do was to follow her orders obediently. Besides, I felt too embarrassed to tell anyone about it."

If she had told Isla, Isla would have tried her best to stop the wedding. Then the people of Lu Family would feel humiliated, and they would have blamed everything on Isla.

Isla was speechless. She realized that it would make no difference even if she had known the truth. She could only curse Autumn's mother and sympathize with her. She couldn't have done anything to solve her problems, instead, she might have even brought more problems to Autumn.

"It's OK. I'm fine. Don't be worried." Autumn consoled Isla, "I have adapted to my present life very well. I get along nicely with Charles and he cares about me. I am very lucky to have him."

"Charles? The man you're referring to... Is that Charles of the Shining Company? Isla asked Autumn as her eyes broadened with amazement. All of a sudden, her loud voice quickly drew the attention of the people in the coffee house.

"Keep your voice down!" Autumn reminded her. Then Autumn blushed red and answered, "Yes, he is."

"God! Ye, you're so lucky!" Isla was ecstatic for Autumn, because she was very pleased to know that Autumn had married an excellent man like Charles.
