The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 132

Yvonne followed Charles into the door, sitting beside him. Autumn arrived not long after, seeing Yvonne talking to the three of them, though she was not welcomed.

"Wow, Chris! Your skin looks so good! How do you take good care of it?"

Chris did not respond, remaining silent.

"Charles, I'm so jealous of you! You live such a happy life with my cousin. I wish I could be so lucky to find a good husband like you, " Yvonne continued.

Noticing that no one is paying her any attention, she turned towards Gary.

"Grandpa…" she said, stopping mid-sentence to correct herself.

"Gary, I've heard that you like playing chess quite often. Would you like to play chess with me right now?"

Gary, being the kind man that he was, didn't have the heart to decline her suggestion directly. "Sure, if you'd like to."

His response immensely lifted her spirit. "Sis, can you please carry my luggage to my bedroom? I'm going to play chess with Gary right now, " she said, turning to Autumn.

Autumn didn't know what to say in response.

She felt like Yvonne is treating her like a servant.

Upon hearing this, Charles stood up and offered to carry the luggage of Yvonne.

Autumn followed him as they entered a vacant room located on the first floor.

It turned out to be a room intended for a servant. Despite being small, the room proved to be clean. Autumn smiled, realizing why he allowed Yvonne to live in their house.

"Charles, I'm sorry, " she apologized unexpectedly.

Anyway, Yvonne was her half-sister, she thought that she was somehow responsible for the current situation.

"What are you apologizing for?" he asked, his face full of concern.

Autumn has acquired a habit of taking responsibility for other people. But he couldn't bear to see her put the blame on herself when she hasn't done anything wrong.

"My mom called to tell me that Yvonne would come here and live with us for a while. I didn't expect that she'll actually come here without my permission, seeing that I've declined her request, " she said, exasperated.

"Don't worry. It won't be long before she'll start packing her own bags, " he replied with a grim face.

He had tried to avoid meddling into their sibling relationship because he didn't want to cause any troubles. But after Autumn's confession, he didn't think he could mind his own business any longer.

Autumn smiled upon hearing what he said. She couldn't even imagine her reaction once she knew that she had to stay in the maid room.

Yvonne, completely clueless about the arrangement, was still playing chess with Gary, trying to curry his favor.

She deliberately took classes before paying a visit. But she was still very much a rookie compared to Gary who's already an experienced chess player.

Yvonne found herself losing the game within five minutes. "Gary, don't be such a bully. You might want to even the playing field since I'm just a beginner. Maybe you can try to let me withdraw a false move, " she said, beginning to act like a brat.

"Withdraw a false move?"

Gary asked, furrowing his eyebrows upon hearing her words. How could she ask for a chance to withdraw her false move? Her words left a bad impression, as it revealed how she can't even follow the basic rules of the game.

"Yes. That would be fair, " she replied, unaware of Gary's change of mood.

"Shall we move on?" she asked, smiling.
