Chapter 225 Birthday Party


    The fact that Charles got married was fairly known to one and all present there. However, right until this


    moment the public did not realize that the woman Charles married was Autumn Ye instead of Yvonne


    Gu.


    "I am fully aware of the cloud of confusion that descended upon all of you present here. But it is with


    great happiness that I now unravel the mystery: Autumn and I got married out of sheer luck and


    destiny. Now we spend each and every day of our lives together in conjugal bliss. This is my official


    statement to confirm the true identity of my beloved wife. I appreciate you all for your kindly


    understanding." Charles then egged Chris to take over, "Now I urge today''s hostess to divide up the


    delicious cake for us. I do hope you enjoy the party here!"


    Charles''s brief statement was, indeed, a pleasant shock to all the guests. It was only second before the


    audience started to whisper among one other in shock and awe.


    I was happy on seeing Autumn''s face light up as her innermost desires had turned into reality.


    Aron''s voice rang behind I, "So are you getting excited too on the prospects of receiving such


    happiness?"


    "Why are you pestering me?" I answered to Aron without turning back to look at him.


    "I have called off the wedding with Becky and ended all ties with her." Aron pleaded for her attention


    with hopeful eyes, "Now can you please hear me out?"


    I turned around swiftly without reflecting a single emotion on her face and stered a smile as she


    said to him, "Aron you are still ignorant of your mistake of shifting the me onto others. This trait was


    the root cause of our failed rtionship. While Becky did y a major role, you too were an aplice


    in this plot."


    I continued with a gentle smile, "There is absolutely no point in continuing this conversation if you


    still abandon your due responsibility. Either way please excuse me as I have to attend to some work


    now."


    I turned around and made her way to Autumn. As she gave her a gift as a token of best wishes, and


    said goodbye to her, "Autumn, there is a matter that requires my urgent attention. So in that regard


    please excuse my absence."


    "Why are you in such a hurry?" Autumn looked at I in astonishment, "Is this about Aron? Are you


    trying to avoid seeing him?"


    "Not really, that is not what this is about." I smiled, "I was prepared to meet Aron here. I would not


    have attended this event had I wanted to avoid his presence all together. Believe me when I say I have


    some other urgent matter at hand right now."


    I had to drive the point loud and clear to Autumn who still looked apprehensive, "I am old enough to


    marry someone and, as you know, my parents have been long anticipated my marriage. They have


    arranged a blind date for me. I have to leave now to reach that appointment on time."


    "A blind date?" Autumn was too shocked to believe her revtion, "I remember very clear that ou used


    to shun and dismiss the very idea of blind dates."


    "Your memory is good. Yes I used to..." I replied with a warm smile and exined patiently, "I used


    to believe in a marriage created by God so I never sought out for someone deliberately. However, not


    until now did I realize that love is somewhat beyond my reach. As a result, I agreed to meet the eligible


    bachelors my parents have arranged for me to meet through blind dates. I want to go through it to meet


    my parents'' wishes."


    Autumn, all of sudden, was somewhat amazed to see this other side of I who went beyond her


    "Well, anyway, now please allow me to take leave." I smiled to Autumn, "Enjoy your time here."


    "Take good care of yourself." Autumn expressed her concern.


    As I was walking out of Dream Garden, she bumped into a woman dressed in pink attire; and as she


    took a second nce at the woman, I found her pretty and attractive. While the woman ignored I


    and gazed toward the stage, paying little attention to I''s prompt apology.


    I shook her head, and then departed from the premise.


    Autumn was utterly exhausted because of the toasts. As she was roaming about to look for a quieter


    ce, she heard a familiar voice from behind her, "Autumn, it has been too long!"


    "Le, what brought you here?" Autumn was surprised and taken aback when she turned around and


    saw Le. She least expected Le to show up. Le felt rather troubled and disturbed to learn that


    Autumn was married to Charles. Autumn felt a pinch of embarrassment as she noticed the awkward


    expression on Le''s face. However the more she dwelled on that thought she realized there was


    absolutely no point of feeling guilty.


    Dream Garden was her home in that moment and her marriage was known to one and all. There was


    more pride than uneasiness over that.


    "So? It seems my presence here is unbearable for you." Le couldn''t help letting out a sarcasticugh.


    Le felt like being deceived beyond measure, as she tried every means to milk a favor from Mrs. Lu,


    little expecting Autumn was the one.


    "How could it be? I am just a little surprised as I was not expecting you." Autumn exined to Le with


    a friendly smile and requested Le to get take it easy, "Please do take a seat."


    Le developed a cold attitude towards Autumn as she didn''t tell her that she had been married to


    Charles, which hurt Le more than she expected. She then passed a sarcastic remark against


    Autumn, "Autumn, your tricks are stunning me."


    "Le, what could you possibly mean by that?" Autumn was now turning red with anger as she


    reminded herself to remain kind towards Le. Moreover, her act of keeping her marriage with Charles


    to herself was justifiable.


    "The least you deserve is to listen to myint!" Le replied with a cold smile, "The fact that you


    are Charles''s wife should not have been hidden from me. Moreover, I feel like I am constantly being


    lied to around here without knowing it, as I have long been expecting a truth from you. After all of this,


    do you really want to treat me like a blithering idiot?"


    Autumn frowned at Le''sint, as she thought she was being wronged by Le. Actually, her


    marriage with Charles, from the beginning, was inappropriate to be dered in public. However, even


    thoughter their rtionship got better, Autumn thought it was rather unnecessary to tell anyone


    unconcerned. Moreover, Le was no more than a colleague who should be denied a slice of her


    private life.


    "Le, is there some misunderstanding between us?''


    "Misunderstanding? How could there be?" Le revealed a sly smile, "Autumn, I am surprised to see


    you y out this superb trick. Earlier I felt obliged and grateful to you for my admission into Shining

    Company. But until now I did not realize that all you wanted was to have a goodugh at me. You must


    try to contain yourughter at my folly."
