"If it's nothing serious, you shouldn't have made your wife take care of you in the hospital for so long. Don't you know that she may need some rest?" Instead of blaming Autumn, Gary scolded Charles. He thought Charles was not being considerate to his wife at all.
"There are so many servants at home, but you just let Yvonne take care of you in the hospital. What if she gets exhausted?" Gary kept complaining about Charles. "You are a grownup man! Why not be a little considerate towards your wife?"
"Grandpa, that's not the case. Charles is injured and in the hospital because of me. He wanted to protect me. I really want to take care of him here." Autumn explained to Gary on behalf of Charles.
However, Gary still twisted his face. "It is natural that he has to protect you, since he is your husband. But Charles, don't you feel ashamed to whine for such a minor injury? You have really disgraced your family's name."
"Grandpa, I......" Autumn was very anxious because she was worried about Charles. He was injured, but Gary just kept on scolding him. She felt bad for him, so Autumn wanted to explain everything clearly to Gary. But Charles stopped her. "Grandpa, please stop with all the jokes. Don't you see that she is almost crying?"
It was not until then that Autumn realized that Gary was playing a trick on her.
Hearing that, Gary burst into laughter. He felt happy for his grandson for that he married a good and sincere girl. "Well, it's just a joke. Please don't take it seriously. Yvonne, I know you were worried about me so you hid the news from me. But never do this again. Although I am old, I am capable of bearing some bad news."
"Ok, grandpa. I get it." Autumn blushed and nodded. She hesitated for a second and then said, "Grandpa, can you call me Ye? It feels weird to be called Yvonne."
Gary stole a glance at Charles. He secretly nodded a yes. Seeing this, Gary laughed and replied, "Okay, then I will call you Ye."
"What are you doing there? Come here." Seeing that they were standing outside the door, Chris called, "Come on in. The dinner is ready."
"Okay." Gary replied with a smile. Everyone was in a joyous and cheerful mood. Wile they were enjoying their meal, Gary asked Charles and Autumn out of blue, "When are you two going to have a baby?"
Upon hearing this, Autumn blushed immediately. Though she had got married with Charles for some time, she still thought they needed to know each other better. Therefore, they still didn't reach at further intimacy.
Charles also showed great respect to her.
"Why you ask this for no reason?" Charles furrowed his brow. Indeed, he was not offended, but he was afraid that Autumn would feel awkward.
Chris also echoed, "Ye, you have been married to my brother for some time. Perhaps you should take it into consideration. I am looking forward to the day of your baby's birth."
Autumn felt even more embarrassed after hearing this.
Charles stared at Gary seriously and replied, "Don't worry. We will take it into consideration."
Satisfied by his answer, Gary nodded cheerfully.
