The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 87

She opened the envelope and saw a plane ticket inside. The travel date was in three days, and its destination was... Z City. She had always wanted to go there.

'Every time I brought up any plans to travel, Charles always kept silent about it. But now he himself, bought me a ticket." Autumn thought to herself. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

'I have been dying to go on a trip, but I had to give it up for many reasons. First, it was work and then grandma was ill and it would be hard to leave her by herself. Now, Charles bought me a ticket. I am still worried about my grandma but I should go.' she mused.

Autumn asked Charles. "Why... Why did you do this?"

"Don''t you like it?"

"Of course I do. I just... never expected something like this." Autumn said with a smile, "Thank you!"

"You can thank me later. I have a bigger surprise for you." Charles smiled and handed her another envelope. He said, "There's a travel guide on Z City inside the envelope. I have also booked the hotel for you. All the information is right there on the travel guide. Oh, one more thing. There is a bank card inside. You can use it to pay for your travel expenses. You can buy whatever you like during your trip. "

When she looked at the hand-written travel guide, Autumn was exceedingly touched. She asked, "Did you prepare... all of these by yourself?"

"How could I do that?" Charles touched his nose bashfully, and said, "I won't waste my time on these boring, trivial matters. David did all of these."

Charles thought to himself. 'If I tell her that I collected all this travel information while she was asleep every night, she might make fun of me.'

Charles instinctively said that David prepared all of it.

Autumn couldn't help but laugh. "Obviously this is Charles's handwriting. He looked so cute... lying like that." she mused.

Autumn took the bank card from the envelope and gave it to Charles. She said in a serious tone, "I accept the travel guide and the ticket, but ... I can't take this."

She paused for a while, and then continued, "I got a sum of money from Cloud Advertising Company when I left. With that, I can afford my travel expenses so I don't need your card."

"Ye, why don't you take my card anyway?" Charles said with a displeasing look, "You're my wife now, so you are supposed to use my money."

"I know. But..." After hesitating, Autumn continued, "I can afford things myself now. I don't need to spend your money. If I run out of money one day, I will use yours. I promise."

Charles realized that Autumn had made up her mind and took back the card. He said, "If anything goes wrong on your trip, don't forget to call me."

Autumn nodded and said, "I will. One more thing. Today, mom called and asked us to come home to dine with them. I know that you have an important appointment tonight, so..."

Charles nodded, "It's okay. I will go." He added, "You go first after you get off work. Tell mom that I will be a bit late."

Autumn also nodded in agreement and said, "You don't need to force yourself to go if you do not have the time. I will explain it to mom."

Charles took her hand and said, "Don't worry about it." "You can get off work earlier today. After all, you have already quitted you job. Go home to the Gu family early."
