The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 378

"You should order, " Autumn said in an uninteresting manner.

She then looked back to see if Rachel was there. Unable to find her, she looked at Roger and asked him quietly, "Where is Rachel?"

"She said she would come to have dinner with Edward.

Maybe she's just late." Roger shrugged. "She'll be here soon."

As soon as he finished talking, Rachel came in with Edward in tow, with their hands tightly intertwined.

Rachel felt particularly special as she walked in, more so when she spotted Autumn and Roger. With a sly smile, she patted Edward's hand, feigned surprise and said, "Look! Charles' wife is over there!"

Upon hearing this, Edward turned to the direction where Autumn was. He could not see Roger's face, who was sitting opposite to Autumn. Unsure whether the man with Autumn was Charles, he asked calmly, "Why is she here?"

"Maybe she's having dinner with Charles. Let's greet them."

Rachel said softly while holding Edward's arm.

"It's totally unnecessary, " Edward protested coldly, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Even though his spat with Chris had already been resolved, there was still tension between him and Charles. As such, he didn't think there was any reason to greet them, but Rachel still insisted.

"Edward, I know what you are thinking. Remember that Charles is Chris' brother. He has taken care of her for many years and we should be thankful to him for doing that. It will be awkward if they see us here without greeting them. Don't you think so?" she asked.

"Plus, we don't usually see him in Y City. Come on now, it won't take long. We'll leave right after greeting them, " Rachel ushered, persuading Edward further.

"Well... Alright. As you wish, " Edward replied.

He felt Rachel's argument was reasonable enough so he walked with her over to meet Autumn. However, upon reaching her, he realized that the man with her was not Charles.

"Miss Bai, what brings you here?"

Autumn asked Rachel, feigning surprise.

Autumn stood up and greeted her, "What a coincidence! Are you here for dinner?"

"Yes."

Smiling at Autumn, she then continued, "Edward and I are going to have dinner and I did not expect that I could meet you here. We come here to greet you because I thought you're with Charles. But.."

Rachel stopped speaking, glancing at Roger slyly.

'Roger must be a resourceful man. I didn't expect him to bring Autumn here successfully. Now that I am closer to my goal, I will completely destroy Autumn's life, ' Rachel thought to herself.

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you to Roger, " Autumn innocently said, even though she knew of Rachel's plan.

"This is my friend Roger. He is a well-known star but not as popular as you, " Autumn said.

"Hello!"

Roger greeted them with a smile while reaching out his hand. "Wow! I did not expect that you two knew each other. I am actually your fan, " Roger said, acting as if Rachel was a stranger.

"Wow, really?"

Rachel replied casually while shaking Roger's hand. The three of them were clearly playing their part, as they all had their own plans.

Edward, however, felt it necessary to ask where Charles was. Glancing at Autumn, he asked, "Where is Charles? I haven't seen him."

Apparently, he misunderstood the nature of Rachel and Roger's relationship. Edward in any case still treated Charles as a family member, and could not bear to know Autumn might be cheating on him.

"Charles is very busy in his work recently. I called him a moment ago but he is still working overtime, " Autumn replied calmly. She paused for a while and turned to Rachel. "Miss Bai, now that both of you are here to have dinner too, why don't you join us?"
