The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 36

"Re... really?" Hearing Chris's words, Autumn immediately blushed with embarrassment. She couldn't help but cast a complaining glance at Charles who was standing right in front of her.

The way she reacted only gave herself away.

Seeing Autumn's reaction, Chris roared with laughter and said,"Yvonne, you are so adorable."

Autumn's cheeks turned pink. She made an excuse and left the room. After Autumn left, Chris became serious. She looked at Charles and said,"Brother, tell me the truth, are you in love with Yvonne?"

"That is none of your concern." Charles answered with a frown.

"I care about you." Chris said in a serious manner. After their parents died, Charles took over all responsibilities and became the head of the family. He even guided Chris in every step of her life.

Chris accepted every decision Charles made for her without any complaints. But now, she had to speak for Autumn. She knew Autumn was the best Charles could get.

"Brother, I know you weren't too happy to marry Yvonne. But now you are husband and wife. Grandpa also agrees with me on this. If you don't like Yvonne, you should put things straight and not to get in the way of her pursuit to happiness." Chris stated earnestly.

Charles looked at Chris with a blank face. He had affectionately brought up Chris under his wings. He had always considered her as his own child. But now, he suddenly realised she was all grown up. Her words made sense and she sounded all mature.

Charles frowned and asked,"Why do you say that?"

Charles didn't respond to Chris's question. Chris hated to poke her nose into other people's business. There must be some reason why she talked to him about this.

Chris sat down on the couch and angrily asked in reply,"Don't you know what you have done?"

"What happened?" Charles was confused.

"Rachel Bai called on our home phone today." Chris's eyes were fixated on Charles's face. She was trying to figure out things from his expressions. But Charles's face was still calm.

"Really?" When Charles heard Rachel's name, a look of disgust came over his face. He believed Rachel would move on with a light heart, but he was wrong.

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Chris asked. Chris was quite taken aback by Rachel's phone. Luckily Gary was out for a walk when she called. Otherwise, things would have got really awkward.

Rachel was still that annoying and scheming woman. She started off by being quite sweet and affectionate with Chris, and even asked Chris to go shopping together. Chris, of course, rejected her offer.

For the first few minutes, she talked about random things and then changed the subject to Charles. Chris was clear about Rachel's intentions but pretended to be confused. She deliberately told Rachel that Charles and Yvonne were out on a dinner date. Rachel got really angry on hearing that.

"Yvonne is a nice girl, believe me. If you dump her because of Rachel Bai, I'll never be able to forgive you." Chris spoke to Charles in all seriousness,"I think Yvonne is much better than Rachel Bai..."

"I agree with you." Chris was continually boasting about Autumn's positive attributes. Suddenly, Charles joined in too. This came across as a shocker for Chris.

Chris turned to Charles and saw his serious face. She was finally relieved.
