Chapter 280 She Was Different


    Arthur was excited. "I knew you woulde." It was a cold day in November, but Arthur insisted on


    waiting for them by the door.


    Autumn felt a little bit guilty when she saw Arthur''s sincere smile but his face a bit frozen.


    "Why didn''t you just wait inside?" Charles asked. Arthur rubbed his hands and sheepishly said, "I was


    looking forward to seeing Autumn. So were your two grandmothers."


    Autumn was touched when she heard that. She walked up to Arthur, held his hands and said, "Promise


    me that you''ll never do this again. It''s too cold for you, I wouldn''t forgive myself if you got sick."


    "Okay, I promise." Arthur was always a serious man, but at that time he was moved by what Autumn


    just said.


    "Come on in, please." He asked Charles and Autumn to get inside. Abby stood by with little Cindy in


    her arms, and she said, "Father said that you would certainlye and he insisted on waiting for you


    by the door. Thank God you came, or he would be disappointed indeed."


    "Come on, Abby, stop it." Arthur was a little bit embarrassed.


    "Dinner is ready, juste and sit." Emily asked them to have dinner, "This is what your grandma has


    attentively cooked for you, "


    It would be perfect to eat something hot on such a cold day.


    "Grandma Emily, are you feeling better now?" Autumn walked over to Emily stroking her forehead.


    "I''m fine, don''t worry about me. Here,e sit beside me and eat something, " Emily said. Amy did not


    say a word as she kept bringing steaming dishes to the table.


    Autumn was so touched, looking at all the dishes that started piling on the table.


    "Thank you, grandma." Amy paused and her eyes turned red. She said, "Silly girl, you don''t need to


    say thank you to your grandma."


    Autumn took a sip of the chicken soup. She felt warm in her heart and throughout her whole body.


    All the dishes were personally prepared for them by Amy. After Abby and her daughter were done


    eating. Abby thought of something and said, "Charles, it''s time for Cindy to start going to school, but I''m


    not familiar with the schools around Y city. Do you have any schools to rmend?"


    Charles thought about it for a while and said, "Well, I need to check with one of my friends. I remember


    there''s a good bilingual kindergarten around here. I''ll have him call you."


    "That will be great. Thank you so much." Abby was pleased.


    When Autumn and Charles were done with their meal, they wanted to have a talk with Emily. But Emily


    felt a bit tired and wanted to go for a rest.


    Actually she made that excuse to give a chance for Arthur and Amy to be alone with Autumn.


    "Autumn, I have something... to discuss with you." Arthur said with a bit of hesitation.


    "Sure, please go ahead." Amy brought some fruits for Autumn and sat by her.


    Arthur paused and said, "Emily said that it will be your birthday next month. Your grandmother Amy and


    I n to announce to all that you are our granddaughter, and your family name is Zhao. We want to ask


    you if you are okay with that.


    You don''t have to say yes, It''s up to you to decide." Arthur tried to tell Autumn gently so that she


    wouldn''t feel overwhelmed.


    Abby joined them and said, "Autumn, we just want to know how you feel about it. You are my brother''s


    daughter, my niece. You are a part of this family, and eventually, when you are ready, you should


    change your family name too."


    "I... I need to think about it." Autumn couldn''t say yes immediately. She had always been Autumn Ye,


    but all of a sudden she had be Autumn Zhao. It wasn''t really easy for her to take all of it in at the


    same time.


    "That''s all right." Amy agreed, letting out a faint but nervousugh. "That''s okay dear if you don''t want


    to change it. We wouldn''t care if you''re Autumn Ye or Autumn Zhao, you''re just our granddaughter

    Autumn, and that''s enough, right?"


    "Yes, but..." The family name wasn''t really that important for them. The real reason that they asked


    Autumn to change her family name was to cut off her ties with Wendy.


    "No BUTs, let her be, okay?" Amy patted Arthur''s back.


    "How can I do that?" He said helplessly.


    "Grandpa, grandma, YES." Autumn made up her mind to change her family name to Zhao seeing that


    Grandma Amy cared about her so much.


    "What?" "What did you say?" Arthur and Amy couldn''t believe what they just heard and asked again.


    "Yes, I said yes!" Autumn pped her hands together with a big smile.


    "Great, it is settled then." Abby was happy with Autumn''s decision. Autumn was beginning to warm up


    to them and treat them as her own. She was now more willing to open her heart to them.


    "Well, we had a great time here tonight. But it''s gettingte, and we must go." Autumn stood up and


    said with a big grin, "Dinner was great as well. But please don''t cook so many dishes next time."


    "Will youe again tomorrow?" Amy looked at Autumn and eagerly asked. She would be happy if


    she could see Autumn everyday.


    "I''lle to see you as soon as I have time." Autumn smiled and said, "But you don''t have to wait for


    me all the time, okay?"


    "Okay." Knowing that Autumn woulde see them again, Amy was as happy as a student who


    received praise from a teacher.


    As Charles and Autumn left, Charles kissed her on the forehead. "Autumn, you are very different from


    thest time we were here."


    "What?"


    "How you treated your family today was different."


    "Wasn''t it you who told me to be like that? You have to be nicer to me now that I have a strong family,


    right?" Autumn teased.


    When they got home, Chris was waiting for them. She said, "Autumn, I''m so sorry, I''ve heard what


    happened today, I didn''t really expect it."


    She had been waiting in their living room for a long time to apologize to Autumn herself.
