Chapter 249 A Second Visit


    "That''s right, I feel exactly the same way." Autumn nodded slowly, "I was like you, I thought grandma


    was the only family I had, there was no reason for me to ept them. And if I did this, I felt it would be


    like betraying Grandma. But then I realized that even grandma wished for me to ept them, she


    hoped someone would would be there to take care of me once she left this world.


    "I spoke to your elder brother, he said he would support me no matter what decision I made. But he


    also gave me a different perspective. He said that I denied the Zhao family''s feelings for me without


    giving them the opportunity to exin themselves. And that would be quite unfair to them." Autumn


    looked at Chris who was sitting right across her and continued, "So I came today to tell you this, no


    matter what decision you make, Charles and I will always support you, as you are our sister, but...... the


    least you can do is give him a chance, a chance to exin the things and then once you have heard


    everything you can make up your mind."


    "This is different." Chris sighed, "Autumn, your family do have a good reputation, but what about mine?


    He has been to prison once, and now he wants to marry a woman I despise from the core of my heart.


    The only thing I want to do is to disappear from the world, then I would not have to worry about these


    issues."


    "Chris, he loves you as every father loves his daughter. No matter what he did in the past, he gave you


    life after all." Autumn patted Chris at her shoulder, "There must be a cloud of confusion burdening your


    mind, it doesn''t matter. Think it over carefully. When Ie back from Japan with your elder brother,


    we''ll face all of it with you."


    "You are going to Japan, too?" She acted surprised as she hadn''t heard anyone mention Autumn going


    abroad.


    "Yes." Autumn nodded, "My flight leaves this afternoon. After drinking the honey water, you should


    hurry up and go downstairs. Grandpa has been worried sick, don''t disappoint him."


    There was a trace of guilt on Chris''s face when she heard Autumn mention Grandpa. Sometimes it was


    really shameful to think that he was so old and still was worried about her, she could not help thinking


    herself unfilial.


    So Chris got up and cleaned up. She pushed the door open and walked downstairs while Gary was


    sitting in the dinning room. After a moment of hesitation, she called, "Grandpa....."


    "You are up,e and sit here." Gary put down the newspaper from his hands, said to Chris, "Do you


    still have a headache?"


    Chris shook her head. Not knowing what happened, her eyes turned red as she heard Gary''s concern


    for her.


    "Sily girl, it''s a beautiful bright morning, why are you crying?" He smiled and said as if nothing had


    happened, "Well, Nancy has prepared a hearty breakfast for you, you were so drunkst night. Now


    you should get something to eat, otherwise you will get a stomachache."


    "Okay, grandpa I''ll go eat right away." Chris wiped away her tears and stood up. Right that instant, she


    suddenly realized something.


    Whether Edward was her father or not, no one could rece Gary in her heart ever.


    Sam came at noon. After he arrived hometest night and found Jane waiting him for all the time to


    ask why his girlfriend changed her mind suddenly.


    Reluctantly, Sam tried every possible way to persuade her, which was why he got up sote.


    "Grandpa. Chris. I have to go now." Autumn pushed a few mouthfuls of rice into her mouth as she


    prepared to say goodbye. Chris pushed Sam aside and said, "Sam, could you take Autumn to the


    airport?"Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "No, I''m fine." There were so many problems urring all at once that Autumn could be relieved to


    have Sam at home, so she quickly refused, "I''ve already called for a cab, please take your time. And


    help me with the things at home, Sam."


    Sam was also worried about Chris, so he did not insist. He walked Autumn to the cab, and when he


    was ready to go back, he saw Rachel and Edward show up yet again.


    Because Sam knew Edward''s story, he stopped. He knew that Chris didn''t want to see them at this


    time, so he stopped them, "Mr. Lu and Miss Bai, I''m afraid that Chris is not in the mood to see you right


    now, I think...... it will be better if youe backter."


    "Who do you think you are?" Rachel looked at Sam scornfully and said, "Let me make something clear


    here, Edward is Chris''s father, why would he need to ask for your permission to see his own daughter?"


    "Of course he doesn''t need to." Sam spoke in a low tone, "But as I said a few moments back, Chris still


    cannot ept the fact, and if you do care about your daughter, please give her a little time and space


    to think about it."


    Sam said this to Edward, he knew Edward was the person who made decisions about this and would


    see some sense. Rachel, however, would absolutely not care about the feelings of Chris.


    "Whether she can take it or not, it''s another matter. And we''re here today hoping to make it clear, to


    clear the knots in her heart, what does that mean if you don''t even let us in now?" Rachel frowned and


    said.


    "That''s enough, Rachel." Edward looked at Sam carefully, "Are you Chris''s boyfriend?"


    "Yes, I am." Sam answered confidently, he was very calm on this matter, even if Edward was Chris''s


    father, he would never falter.


    "Please take good care of Chris for me. I''lle back to her in a couple of days." Edward knew he was


    being too impatient after meditation, so he decided he should give Chris some time to calm down and


    process everything.


    Although today was the first time Edward had met Sam, he could see Sam was sincerely concerned for


    Chris. Edward was very pleased andforted to have such a man around his daughter. "Could you


    please do me a favor, say something nice for me to Chris. I owe her too much and I hope she can give


    me a chance to make it up to her."


    "Sorry that I may have to let you down." Sam looked at Edward apologetically because he would not


    speak up for Edward. He added, "I would only support Chris instead of interfering with her own


    decisions."


    Edward looked at Sam and said no more.


    Rachel, however, scolded with discontent, "What''s this foul attitude? You just want to stir up trouble, do


    you not want for Chris to acknowledge her own father?"


    "Let''s just leave." Edward sighed, he knew Sam was right about not interfering with Chris no matter


    what decision she would make. He got what wasing to him even if Chris wouldn''t acknowledge


    him.


    "Edward, we are leaving just like this?" said Rachel, looking at Edward in puzzlement.
