The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 22 Stop Her From Talking
Wendy Ye and Simon Gu didn't come here for the meal. They looked at each other before Wendy said,"Charles, you and Yvonne have been married for several days..."
"Mother!" Autumn immediately raised her head and interrupted Wendy,"Look I made your favorite sweet and sour fish. Please have a bite."
"I..." Wendy frowned. She was clearly upset about being interrupted by Autumn. But Autumn did not seem to care about that at all.
"Charles and I should have visited you and father today. But Charles's grandfather has just arrived home and he is very tired. It's all my fault. I should have told you earlier..." Autumn took the blame upon herself. She described Wendy and Simon's visit as them "missing their daughter".
It suddenly dawned on Gary. "Oh, excuse my poor memory. Charles and Yvonne should have visited you today, instead of you coming here. I'm the one to blame."
"Mr. Lu, I didn't mean it that way. We are here to..." After hearing Autumn's words, Wendy did not know how to express her intention. Simon frowned and was about to say something.
With the help of chopsticks, Autumn put a rib into Simon's bowl,"Father, you said you miss my cooking. Please have some more."
Autumn knew that she wouldn't be able to stop them from talking. But she tried her best to prevent them from speaking out their intention in front of Charles' grandfather.
Charles incisively concluded that Simon and Wendy were not here to "visit their daughter". He went on and said,"Father, mother, it is forgetful of me. How about this? Tomorrow, Yvonne and I will visit you. I want to have a chat with father about the company affairs."
"Great! That is it, then!" Wendy was all smiles. "You and Yvonne can come in the morning. I will prepare lunch for the two of you."
