The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 436

"Oh I am just fine." Autumn pulled Charles to sit in the sofa and then said to him with loving eyes, "Charles, I want to... discuss something with you right now."

"What is it love?" Charles was a little anxious as he wondered what it was that Autumn wanted to say.

"Okay, I'll just tell you." Autumn let out a warm smile and continued, "My belly is growing bigger and more swollen so I'm afraid that I can't drive on my own any more."

"Yes, you are right. I don't want you to strain yourself." Charles nodded in approval and said to Autumn, "I have arranged a driver for you. He will drive you anywhere you want to go."

"But that driver is an employee of your company and it's inappropriate to let him only work for me. That is after all personal use. With that said, I think I should have a driver working only for me." Autumn suggested with a wide smile.

Charles changed his posture in an attempt to get more comfortable and then said to Autumn, "What are you getting at?"

He could tell that Autumn was going to say something unexpected.

"Charles..." Autumn continued to smile as she looked at Charles and said, "Nancy's son has recovered and he wants to stay in this city. I think he is a good choice as my driver. On the one hand, I really need a driver to take me to the hospital for examinations and also to do other things. On the other hand, Nancy had parted with her son for so many years and I hope that I will be able to give them more time to get along with one another. Nancy has worked for our family for several decades and I wish that she can have a happy life once she is old."

She added, "If her son works at some other place, he will have to rent a house and it will be too inconvenient for Nancy to see him often. Do you agree?" Autumn asked Charles with eager and optimistic eyes, hoping for his approval.

"So you said and did all of this only to help Nancy?" Charles asked Autumn as he was puzzled.

Autumn nodded and said, "Nancy has already suffered too much and faced many ordeals. I think we should do something to help her. Don't you think so?

Charles, do you agree with what I am saying or not?" Autumn pulled Charles' hand and sincerely asked once again.

"I agree with your stand, we should help her in any capacity we can." Then he frowned and presented his dilemma, "I also do want to find a driver for you because you are pregnant but the driver must be reliable, or else, you and our baby might be in harm's way and I cannot let that happen. Well, you should ask him to come to our home and I'll see whether he is qualified or not. If not here, I'll arrange another place for him to work at. I think that is a fair arrangement. What do you think?"

"Yes absolutely, you are so kind." Autumn kissed on Charles' cheek as she bubbled with excitement and said, "I'll just go and share this good news with Nancy right now."

"Be careful Autumn. Don't run so fast!" Charles got scared when he saw Autumn dash towards the kitchen so he reminded her to slow down almost instinctively.

Autumn didn't care to hear what Charles said and instead rushed to the kitchen and told Nancy, "Nancy, Charles agreed."

"Really?" Nancy turned around and saw Charles enter the kitchen, following Autumn. She asked Charles with a hint of doubt, "Mr. Lu, you... really agreed to hire him?"

"Autumn's belly is already very swollen and she will need a driver, but I haven't decided to employ him just as yet." Charles told Nancy in a cold tone, "Autumn's driver must be a reliable man. If he doesn't meet my requirement, I won't employ him. Let that be clear."
