Chapter 89 Sam Found Out The Truth


    It was Sam who showed up at the door. Seeing him there, Autumn was struck by how quickly Wendy


    had been working on her n.


    She couldn''t believe that Wendy, while forcing her to push Charles away to create opportunities for


    Yvonne, was also using Sam to get between her and her husband.


    This woman had a good strategy, and what a sophisticated n!


    "Simon, Wendy, thanks for having me." Sam greeted. Like Autumn, he had brought many gifts. Seeing


    Autumn sitting on the sofa, he nodded lightly at her. As for Wendy and Simon, his opinion of them had


    been low, which was evident in the cold greeting he gave them.


    "Here you are atst! I''ve been expecting you." Beaming with delight, Wendy took Sam''s hand and sat


    him down beside Autumn. "There is no need to bring so many gifts. This is so kind of you, really!" she


    eximed.


    She was grinning from ear to ear, but Sam responded dryly to her excessive enthusiasm and said, "You


    are wee."


    Wendy was a bit embarrassed hearing his words. She then red at Autumn and snapped, "Sam is


    our guest. Why don''t you have some manners and get him a ss of water?"


    She turned back to Sam, put her smile back on and said, "You and Autumn grew up together. She''s


    been rather too free with you and has put all the courtesies behind. Don''t be too surprised about that."


    Serving the guests had been the duty of the servants. Since when did Autumn have to do it?


    Superficially, Wendy was scolding Autumn for her misbehavior. But in truth, she was trying to show


    everyone the close rtionship between Autumn and Sam. Fortunately Charles wasn''t there.


    Otherwise, one wouldn''t be able to draw his sour face, hearing all this.


    Wendy continued ying matchmaker. She smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I bet you two haven''t


    seen each other for many years. Autumn has been living with her grandma since childhood.


    Fortunately, you were around to take care of her. I had always thought that... you two would be


    destined for each other."


    Wendy''sughter rang throughout the living room. But Autumn and Sam were not a bit amused.


    Casting Autumn a nce, Sam knew that she wouldn''t be able to defend herself, so he spoke up for

    her.


    "You misunderstand. Autumn and I... have been close, only like brother and sister. He then sneered


    and continued, "We all know that you remarried soon after her father''s death, leaving her alone with her


    grandmother, and they had no one but each other for support. The neighbors took pity on them and


    helped them out once in a while. I lived nearby, so it was only natural for us to develop a close


    rtionship. I think that was how the gossip started."


    He paused before saying, "Wendy, you have already done wrong to Autumn when she was a child. She


    is married now and it is inappropriate to be talking like this. People might think of you as an unfit


    mother."


    Wendy was totally speechless.


    Autumn really wanted to p her hands if not for Wendy.


    Wendy let out an embarrassed smile and said to Sam, "You are absolutely right. It was all my fault back


    then. But it is now a thing of the past. Autumn, why not show Sam around the house, it''s his first time


    here. "


    Autumn did not refuse. She had been waiting for an opportunity to ask Sam why he came today.


    "Come with me, Sam, " she said with a faint smile.


    Autumn did not even have her own room in this house, only a temporary one prepared for the wedding


    not too long ago. As for how well she knew the Gu Family, well... She had visited this house for merely


    a few more times than Sam.


    If anything, the little garden in the backyard might be the ce she was most familiar with. It was both


    open and secluded, a good ce to have a talk without the risk of being overheard.


    "Little Ye..." Sam called Autumn softly while following her. He had been back from abroad for quite a


    while, but hadn''t had the chance to talk with her privately until now. "How have you been?" he asked.


    "Not bad, " she replied casually for she had something else on her mind. "Sam, what brings you here?"


    "Didn''t you know?" Sam looked at her with surprise. "Wendy called me and said you''ve asked for me to


    It was just as Autumn had expected.


    She smirked. It was clear that Wendy would go to any extent to have Yvonne marry into the Lu Family.


    "Autumn... I''ve been meaning to ask you something, but I just never had the chance." He frowned


    lightly, hesitated for a while before asking, "I had a chat with Chris the other day, and we talked about


    you. She called you Yvonne, why is that?"


    "Well…" Autumn sighed. She knew that this secret would be out in the open, some time or other, but


    she never expected that Sam would be the first person to find out.


    She frowned and said nothing at all. But Sam could somehow tell by her grim expression. He then


    asked hesitantly, "Don''t tell me… that you married Charles under the name of Yvonne."


    This was the only sensible exnation that Sam could think of, but it was also the most uneptable


    one for him.


    He had spent many years overseas for her sake. He had always wanted to win her back. But then he


    returned, only to find out that she had married. How could he ept it if her marriage to Charles was


    all Wendy''s doing? How could he get over her if she was forced into all this?


    "Yes, that''s true!" After a long period of silence, Autumn nodded her head affirmatively, "Sam, it''s


    He held her tightly before she could finish and blurted out, "Why? Why didn''t you tell me?"


    "Let go of me, Sam, " Autumn said and gently pushed him away. "It''s all over now, " she added.


    Sam couldn''t contain himself. He hated the fact that he hadn''te back sooner. If he had, Autumn


    would never have had to suffer. "I am so sorry. I wish I have returned sooner."


    "It was not your fault." Autumn forced a smile and said, "My grandma was seriously ill at that time, but I


    couldn''t afford the medical care. Just then, Yvonne had fled from her wedding, so Wendy took grandma


    away, held her against our will and forced me to take Yvonne''s ce. So..."


    "What else do they want from you? When on earth will they be satisfied? How could they y around


    with your marriage and happiness? This is just ridiculous!"


    Sam eximed. He now wanted to confront the Gu Family and ask for an exnation. Autumn stopped


    him immediately, "Sam, I knew you would get angry, that''s why I have been keeping this to myself. I am


    fine. Even though I married Charles against my will, he has been treating me well. This is actually good


    enough for me."


    "Little Ye, don''t try to make me feel better. There is no need for that now." Sam sneered. Initially, he had


    decided to give up on Autumn. After all, he saw the way Charles cared for her, and knew that the man


    could be trusted. But he could no longer turn a blind eye to it. How could he live with the fact that


    Autumn was forced into this circus from the very beginning? No thanks to Wendy.
