The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 391

On their way back home, Chris barely uttered a word until she asked a rather pertinent question, "Autumn, do you know... why Edward does not want to start a family with Rachel, after all they did just get married?"

Chris frowned, as she wondered what he was thinking. "He is old and just married Rachel, so he should be thrilled after learning that Rachel is pregnant? But Rachel's expression reflected that... my dad didn't want her to get pregnant, " Chris said confusedly.

Then she added, "I first noticed his weird expression and aversion when Rachel brought up the topic of having a child in our home." Autumn also got confused upon hearing Chris' dilemma. After a while, she too recalled what Gary told her right before they left and suddenly came upon a realization.

'Maybe... the fight Edward was involved in years ago had led to his impotency?

If that is the truth, then Edward's weird attitude and Gary's words could be justified and understood, ' Autumn thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Chris cast a glimpse at Autumn and asked.

Autumn stopped introspecting and added, "Nothing. Chris, if Rachel comes to bother you with this matter again, please just stay away from her. You shouldn't get involved in this drama, it will only lead to trouble with her involved."

If Autumn's guess was the truth, then Chris had better keep away from this, or else, she could cause trouble for herself.

Autumn was just about to leave for a vacation with Charles soon, but now suddenly all she could do was to worry about Chris.

"I understand." Chris nodded her head and added, "I'm not close with Rachel at all let alone sharing any relation, so there is no reason for me to get involved in her mess. I would be a fool not to know better."

Chris had never thought ill of Rachel's unborn baby, but she still wouldn't persuade Edward for Rachel.

"Okay." Autumn felt assured as she heard Chris' promise and said, "In short, stay away from Rachel recently and prevent her from stirring any trouble for you."

"OK, sounds good to me!" Chris nodded with a smile.

On Wednesday, Charles and Autumn woke up early to leave for their much awaited trip. As Chris was still asleep, they left after bidding goodbye only to Gary.

Luckily, it was sunny after two days of rain, seeming to indicate that it was a nice trip.

They chose an island as their destination. On their way there on boat, Autumn had never seen such a beautiful and vast scenery. It was an overwhelming sight, like a green paradise in the middle of the sea. As the boat approached it gradually, Autumn could see it more and more clearly. Once the boat came to a halt, Charles got off first and then extended his hand to Autumn.

"Be careful." Charles helped her get off the boat carefully. Then he took all their luggage and went to the hotel where they reserved a sea-view suite. Autumn fell on the bed happily as they entered the room and she exclaimed, "Wow! Happy holiday, I'm finally here !"

Charles looked at Autumn with affection and said with a smile, "It sounds like I had you locked away in a dreadful place for a long time."

"Yes, you did!" Autumn blamed him in a playful tone. Autumn sat up and said, "Can you believe this is the first time that we have come for a vacation together since we got married."
