Chapter 243 To See Charles Off


    They paused their conversation a bit when the waitress came to serve the dishes. Hearing what


    Autumn said, Abby began to feel much better. She believed in what Autumn said.


    "That''s great! Grandma has been expecting your return." Afraid that Autumn would be overwhelmed,


    Abby changed the topic. They talked about other things. During dinner, Autumn hung out with Cindy


    and yed games with her for a long time. When she got back home, she found that Charles was


    packing his bags.


    "Are you going somewhere?" Autumn looked at Charles, quite surprised.


    "Yes." Charles stopped and held Autumn in his arms. He asked, "Where have you been? You came


    back sote."


    "I met up with Cindy and yed games with her. Abby came of course." Autumn answered, smiling,


    "How many days will you be gone? Let me help you with your packing."


    Charles hugged Autumn saying, "I''m going to Japan and will be there for about a week. During my


    absence, you need to look after yourself well."


    "Japan?" Autumn asked with astonishment. If she remembered the correct date, the proposal would


    also be dealt with during these days. Autumn smiled at Charles, but didn''t tell him about the proposal.


    "Yeah. There will be an exchange meeting for industries in Japan. Is there anything wrong?" Charles


    asked curiously.


    "Nothing. Not at all." Autumn smiled and continued. "It''s supposed to be chilly there in Japan. Here, let


    me help put extra thick clothes in your suitcase. Though your work matters a lot, you should have


    meals regrly."


    "Are you worried about me?" As Charles embraced Autumn with a smile, he said. "Since you like Cindy


    so much, how about tonight ...... " we start preparing for a baby?"


    "What? Oh, knock it off!" Autumn quickly slid away from Charles''s arms and started tidying up his


    things, but Charles caught her and fell on her.


    They both lock in an embrace as Autumny in his arms. "Charles, what do you think? Should I really


    ept the Zhao family?"


    "Why not? They are your family." Charles hugged her tight and said, "No matter what kind of decisions


    you will make, I will always be by your side, at least, from my point of view ...... They won''t harm you."


    "You have known Mrs. Zhao and her husband for a long time, so you should be quite familiar with the


    way they act." Charles said.


    Autumn turned and found afortable position in Charles''s arms. She went on, "Exactly, I know them


    well, but ...... But I still don''t know why I have some reservations."


    "Is there something that causes you to feel that way?" Charles smiled. As he touched Autumn''s hair, he


    said, "To be honest, there is one thing that I need to confess to you."


    "What''s the matter?" Autumn raised her head towards him.


    "Chris is ......" After a short pause, Charles continued, "Chris is not my sister by blood. To be exact ......"


    She is actually my aunt."


    "What?" Autumn was shocked at what she heard. She sat up and asked, "What on earth are you


    talking about?"

    "Do you still remember Edward Lu who visited us two days ago? He is my great uncle, my


    grandfather''s brother. At the same time, he is also Chris''s father. As you can see, now, I should refer to


    her as my aunt." Charles told her the real identity of Chris. Thispletely astonished Autumn.


    "Autumn, the reason why I am telling you about this is because I want you to know that everyone gets


    helpless at some point in his life. We hid Chris''s identity to protect her. Edward Lu is not unwilling to


    admit that she is his daughter, just ...... He just doesn''t know the truth, either." Charles said, patiently.


    "Well, my flight is tomorrow morning and I need to sleep early. In short, no matter what decision you are


    going to make, I will always be with you." Charles turned off the light in the room and fell asleep


    embracing his wife.


    That night, Autumn had a dream. In the dream she met Bowen Zhao. Bowen said to her, "Autumn, no


    matter what happened, they are your grandpa and grandma. Nothing can change that. I feel so sorry


    for them. Will you please help look after them for me?"


    Autumn jumped up from bed, terrified and drenched in cold sweat. When she came to her senses,


    Charles was already putting on his clothes.


    "You woke up so early." Charles was amazed to see Autumn up. He had nned to go quietly to catch


    his flight. He didn''t want Autumn to get up early and see him off, but to his surprise, Autumn woke up


    early too.


    Noticing the sweat on Autumn''s forehead, Charles asked with concern, "What''s wrong? Did you just


    have a nightmare?"


    "I''m all right. You are leaving now?" Autumn turned over and got out of the bed. She said to Charles,


    "Wait a moment. Let me see you off at the airport."


    "It''s ok. You can go back to bed." Charles immediately refused, but Autumn insisted. "I will be ready in


    a minute."


    At the airport, Autumn came to know that apart from David, Le would also be in this business trip with


    Charles. Remembering what had happened at Chris''s birthday party, Autumn frowned slightly.


    "Are you OK?" Charles asked gently when he saw Autumn frown. Autumn was staring at Le, Charles


    exined, "It is Le who helped arrange this trip, so I also take her there."


    "No worries. I''m OK." Autumn smiled and answered, "I''m not with you in the following days. So


    remember to take care of yourself."


    Autumn''s words made Davidugh. He said, "Don''t worry, Mrs. Lu, I will help look after Mr. Lu in your


    absence."


    At first, Le was excited to go on a business trip with Charles, but she felt discontented at the sight of


    Autumn. Considering Charles was around, Le didn''t dare to be presumptuous.


    She came to Autumn and said to her, "Autumn, I am sorry that day I..."


    "It''s OK." Autumn grinned, "It''s not a big deal."


    "To be honest......" Le paused but quickly continued, "I have been waiting for a chance to have a talk


    with you. I admit that I used to be fond of Mr. Lu, but I think that fondness is just the adoration of an


    innocent girl. After knowing he has gotten married, I have no more secret desires. I just did not expect


    that you would keep it a secret from me."


    "Le, I think I have told you that this is my private affair." Autumn coldly looked at Le. "I introduced


    this job to you because of yourpetence. But I don''t think that I must share to you my privacy."


    "Yes, of course you didn''t have too." Le smiled, "Autumn, excuse me but we are boarding now. I will


    invite you to dinner after Ie back from Japan."


    After seeing Charles off, Autumn directly went to her office. Unexpectedly, Abby had been waiting for


    her in her office. Autumn was surprised, "Abby! What are you doing here?"


    "Of course I came here to see you about some serious matters." Abby stood up and said to Autumn,


    "Wow, your office is so spacious!"


    "I''m just helping out here." Autumn gave her a smile. After the dream she hadst night, Autumn did a


    lot of thinking, so her attitude toward Abby was much better. She asked, "What happened?"


    "The thing is..." Abby Zhao halted for a moment then continued, "Autumn, you know, Andy and I have


    juste back from abroad, and he is slowly improving his business here at the same time. Now he


    would like to hold a press conference in Y City. As far as I am concerned, you now are working in an


    event nning and executionpany, so I guess we can entrust yourpany to manage this


    conference. You know, every miller draws water to his own mill."
