His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 37

That night, Charles embraced Autumn in his arms and the two fell asleep together peacefully.

But they only held each other without doing anything further.

Autumn felt a bit strange at first. But when she thought of her promise of giving him a fair chance, she didn't push him away. She used his arm as a pillow and fell asleep soon.

Both of them got a sound sleep that night.

When she woke up, it was a new day and the sun was shining bright. Autumn began looking for her phone to check the time. When she saw the time, she was suddenly wide awake. "Oh my god, I over-slept!"

She quickly got up to complete her chores. Since Charles slept beside her last night, Autumn slept so well that even alarms couldn't wake her up.

When she got downstairs, she saw Charles having breakfast at the table. He looked at ease.

To not bother Autumn any further, Charles cancelled the servants' holiday yesterday. When she saw the table being laid with a lavish breakfast, Autumn felt powerless and frustrated.

"It's gonna be late. I won't have breakfast." Autumn said.

"Wait!" Charles immediately handed her a sandwich and a bottle of milk and said,"I'll drive you to work."

Autumn hesitated but then agreed immediately since she was running out of time. If she wasted time arguing with him, she would be late today.

He parked the car at the same corner. Autumn finished her breakfast in the car. As she was to open the door and get off the car, Charles pulled her back and forced her to look at him.

Charles' face was in close proximity to her nose. Autumn was taken aback. She didn't know what to say,"What... what are you doing?"

Although they were still a little far from the Cloud Advertising Company, there was a risk of her colleagues passing from there and seeing them. If they saw them together in the same car, she would probably be abused again.

Charles didn't say anything but drew her even closer. Autumn thought he probably wanted to kiss her and hence closed her eyes. After a while, the expected kiss didn't happen but she rather heard Charles' laughter.

"Look at you. You eat like a child and forget to wipe your mouth." Charles reached out his hand to wipe off the bread crumbs sticking to the corners of her lips.

Looking at Charles' smiling face, Autumn was very embarrassed.

"I have to go." She turned back to open the door but was pulled back by Charles again. He kissed her on the forehead,"Now that your are expecting my kiss, I shall satisfy you."

"You..." Autumn huffed with a blush. Though she had walked a few meters away from Charles, she still could hear his laugher.

Damn Charles! He dared to play tricks on her!

While going upstairs, Autumn was cursing Charles in her heart. When she entered the office, people who had gathered to congratulate Paula gradually dispersed and the lively atmosphere suddenly faded away.

"What happened?" Autumn asked with a smile. Actually, she didn't care about the position of planning director. The only reason why she stayed here was to pay a debt of gratitude towards Ryan who hired her when she really needed a job.

But now, Ryan didn't seem to need her any more. It was time to leave the company.

Autumn smiled,"Please go on. You don't have to bother about me."
