The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 428

"This is the only option left for us to address this matter." Andy spoke with great composure. Charles remained quiet for a moment and finally accepted the solution suggested by Andy, though he was still torn by indecision. "Let us give it a try."

By the time Andy came downstairs, Nancy had finished preparing the dinner. Seeing Andy take his leave, Autumn immediately offered him to join them for dinner. "Andy, why not have dinner with us and then depart?"

"I'm good." Andy smiled at Autumn. "Take a good rest. I have to manage my work."

Andy departed. Autumn found it unbearably boring to confine herself at home. Fortunately, Chris had promised to accompany Autumn for shopping the following day. However, with her impending wedding, Chris had to attend to many things while finding some time for Autumn as well.

"Autumn, do I look good on this dress?" Chris came out to buy her wedding essentials while Sam was arranging for what was more important.

"It fits you perfectly." Autumn smiled at Chris. As she looked around, she spotted a maternity shop. And needless to say, she could hardly resist the temptation to invade the shop right away.

The shop was a new mom's paradise to say the least. It had the most beautiful and heart-warming collection of children's wear. Autumn wanted to pick a few stuff from the shop. Meanwhile, Chris got worried to lose the sight of Autumn. Finally, she managed to find her in that shop. Chris expressed her concern, "Autumn, you should have told me you are visiting this shop. I was really scared to find you missing like this all of a sudden."

"Awfully sorry for that!" Autumn admitted her mistake and then smiled at Chris. "I am greatly attached to these children's garments, but I don't know if it is a boy or a girl. Hence I have no clue as to which color I should pick for the baby."

Chris too was amazed by the collection of the shop and was tempted to pick just everything for Autumn's baby. "Autumn, these are too appealing to choose."

As they were browsing through the collection while talking and laughing, Autumn caught a glimpse of a familiar figure—Leila.

'How could she be here?' Autumn wondered.

At that time, Leila was absorbed in examining a nursing bottle. She looked up to call an attendant, only to meet Autumn unexpectedly. Leila braced up to greet Autumn.

"Autumn, it seems we have not met each other for ages." Leila said with great composure.

Leila looked much more beautiful, dressed in simple clothes.

Upon seeing Leila standing in front of Autumn, Chris challenged Leila, "What on earth are you doing here?"

"It is just a coincidence!" Leila glanced at Chris naturally. "Lower your guard. I do not harbor any ill-intention against Autumn."

"You are unworthy of our trust!" Chris looked at Leila alarmingly and shouted, "Keep a distance or suffer the consequence."

Leila felt greatly wronged and spoke to Autumn in a soft tone, "Autumn, please forgive my deeds that had caused inconveniences to you. Now, I come to realize that Mr. Lu, though excellent and capable, is not a suitable man for me. And I have high regard for my present as well."

Leila's claim, though seemingly sincere, was not received with Chris's trust. "Anyway you are nothing but a slut with sweet talks."

Leila felt much embarrassed at Chris's condemnation.
