The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 79

Hearing Autumn's words, Charles came back to his senses. After realizing what he was doing, he stopped and then clasped his hands around her neck. He kissed on her lips violently and then let Autumn go.

He was exhausted and lay besides Autumn. If Autumn hadn't reminded him, he didn't know what he would have done to her.

"I'm sorry." Charles apologized for his rude behavior, though he didn't think he had done something wrong. He had just followed his heart. But he still made an apology to Autumn because he didn't want to scare her.

"It's fine." Autumn hurriedly buttoned her pyjama. When Charles kissed her, she enjoyed his kiss. So she thought that it would be unfair to blame him.

She didn't mind these intimate acts. But she wasn't ready for the next steps.

Charles sighed and cuddled her. He said gently, "Sweet dreams.'

To begin with, Autumn was too nervous to fall asleep. As sleepiness overwhelmed her, she entered into a dream, holding Charles.

The next morning she woke up early, and found herself holding Charles tightly. She blushed immediately. She got up silently and went to make breakfast for him. As soon as she left the room, Charles opened his eyes.

After Autumn fell asleep last night, he couldn't get any sleep.

With Autumn in his arms, he couldn't move. Although he knew that she was asleep, he didn't move a bit even when his arm was numb. He just didn't want to wake her up.

When he was hospitalized, Autumn was on her toes, without taking a break. She didn't even get good sleep at night. If Charles turned over, she would be awake.

He didn't want to see Autumn push herself too hard. To let her have a good sleep, he hadn't moved his arm although he felt uncomfortable.

When Autumn went downstairs, she saw servants cooking pumpkin porridge. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Nancy, Charles is a patient now. He can't eat pumpkin porridge, or he will feel an ache or be ticklish. "

"That is not possible." Nancy had served the Lu family for half of her life, so she was treated as a family member. As time went by, she considered herself superior to others. She always believed that Autumn wasn't a member of Lu family, Hearing her, she was disappointed. She said, "I have been looking after Charles since he was a little boy. Do you think I'll do him any harm? He got injured now, so I prepared some light porridge for him. It's good for his recovery."

Autumn replied with a frown, "Nancy, you don't understand me. I.." 'Pumkins will worsen Charles's condition.' Autumn thought. She knew this because of her grandma. As her grandma was an expert at this, she had taught her. Slowly, she learnt so much.

But she never expected that her words would displease Nancy.

Nancy gave out a cold laugh and said to Autumn, "Unlike you, I have stayed in this family for years. I have watched the young master grow up. And I have been in charge of his daily diet. Before you came, no one has questioned my cooking. But now, you keep finding faults with me."

Hearing this, Autumn's face turned pale. 'Although Nancy is talking about pumpkin porridge, she is indirectly blaming me for getting Charles injured.' She wondered.

Facing her blames, she felt sad. She never wanted to see Charles get injured because of her. But it happened. Now all she could do is to try her best to look after him, hoping a quick recovery for him.

Nancy kept complaining sarcastically. Autumn silently walked aside and started to prepare breakfast for Charles.
