The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 31

Wendy certainly would never ask Yvonne to pay back the money. She secretly took out her case-dough and gave it to Yvonne. She also warned her and said,"Yvonne, this is my own money. I didn't take it out even when your Dad's company was in trouble. Listen, after you give it to Joe, you don't ever see him again. Clear?"

"Yes." Yvonne tightly clenched the bank card in her hand.

Finishing the call on the balcony, Autumn saw Charles as soon as she entered the room. He just got out from the bathroom.

He took a shower just now. His body was only covered in a bath towel. His brown skin was shining under the light. His muscles were full of energy, seeming to unleash at any given time.

The water was dripping from his hair. The water slowly passed along the lines of his muscles, like glistening dewdrops.

Autumn was taken by surprise. Charles brought her back to her senses by asking,"Don't you have to take a shower too?"

Charles took a towel to dry his hair and lay down on the bed. Autumn was surprised and said,"Will... will you sleep here tonight?"

"Yes." Charles replied with a calm tone. Worried that Autumn might think of him as a pervert, he immediately explained,"Please don't get me wrong. I'm afraid that if Grandpa and Chris see us sleeping in different rooms, both of us might get in trouble."

Hearing his explanation, Autumn heaved a sigh of relief.

Ever since she married Charles, she had been keeping him at an arm's distance. She wasn't comfortable with sleeping in the same bed with Charles.

Charles obviously knew what was going on in her mind. He said,"From today on, we have to sleep in this room. But you can count on me. I won't force you for anything. Tonight, you sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the couch."

"How can I?" Autumn frowned. Charles was her boss. How could she let her boss sleep on the couch? "I'll sleep on the couch and you can sleep on the bed."

They argued on this topic for a long time. The argument ended in a deadlock. At last, Charles compromised and Autumn went to clean up. But when she got out from the bathroom, Charles was lying on the couch.

He was about 1.8 meters tall. It was really strange to see such a tall man curling up in such a tiny couch.

Autumn hesitated for a long time. She blushingly said,"The bed is huge. How about... sleeping together?"

Afraid of being misunderstood by Charles, she continued to say,"Please don't get me wrong. I mean that we can just sleep together on the bed. Nothing else..."

"Okay." Charles had made every attempt to get his grandpa back. He had even devised a plan. All his attempts were for this moment. When Autumn put forward this suggestion, he immediately got up from the couch, pushed back the quilt and sat on the bed.

And then he patted on the other side and said,"Come on. It's time to sleep."

Since everything happened so quickly, Autumn was taken by surprise.

Autumn didn't speak anything but her face blushed. She put forward this suggestion but thought that Charles might refuse it. She never expected him to accept her suggestion right away.

Now she had to accept things the way they were and sleep next to Charles.

She went to the bed from the other side and lay on the edge of the bed. She thought the farther she was from Charles, the better it would be.
