The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 78

Although Autumn was Charles's wife now, it was against her will when she got married to him. He would not force her to do anything unless she was willing to.

Charles would always seek Autumn's consent.

Charles had to soak himself in the cold bath for half an hour before he finally cooled down. He covered himself in a bath towel and stepped out.

Autumn was so nervous at the moment. Her face reddened all over again as she saw Charles coming out with only a bath towel.

Autumn couldn't help but swallow in surprise. What she had seen in the bathroom left her so shamed.

"Are you going to take a bath?" Charles's voice was low and attractive. "Yes, I'm taking a bath now!" Autumn immediately ran and locked herself in the bathroom as if she was being chased by some bad guy.

Charles looked at Autumn's figure and sighed. He knew he had startled Autumn just now.

Autumn was in the bathroom for more than an hour. She had a quick bath. However, the very thought of previous sight gave her goosebumps. She stayed at the bathroom, staring at the walls blankly. She planned to go out only after Charles was asleep.

Charles and Autumn shared the same bed now, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Autumn cautiously listened to the sounds that came from outside of the bathroom. After sometime, it all went quite. She silently pushed the bathroom door open and stepped out. However, Charles was not asleep as expected. He was lying on the bed and looking at her.

Autumn felt like she was a prey being spotted by a dangerous predator.

She gave an awkward smile and stammered, "You... you are still awake."

"I'm waiting for you." Charles answered naturally. Hearing that, Autumn was lost in various possibilities, 'What is he going to do?'

"It's late. Let's go to sleep." While Charles was in hospital, David had been responsible for the company affairs. David would send the documents that needed to be signed by Charles to the hospital. Charles was now discharged and had taken a week off. He had to go to work the next day. "You need to get up early tomorrow."

Autumn stated as she climbed into bed from the other side. She pretended to be calm, but there was a huge distance between Charles and her.

Charles, of course, noticed Autumn's moves. He put down the magazine and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No... of course not." Autumn was so nervous that she couldn't answer him without stuttering. "It's getting late. Let's go to sleep."

Autumn slyly moved farther away from Charles. She thought that he didn't notice that, but he pulled her back into his arms.
