The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 104

Charles excelled in many aspects; however, he was still just a rookie when it came to shopping with a lady. The both of them hardly got the chance to go shopping together in Y City. He was worried about Autumn's health condition and wondered whether she wanted to go shopping at all. He asked with the utmost care, "Are you bored? "

"Of course not!" Autumn smiled and held his hand, "I'm so glad that you can go shopping with me. "

It was getting colder and colder. Seeing as how Charles was wearing Eric's clothes, Autumn decided to buy him some new ones.

"Let's go there." Autumn pointed to a store selling suits and took him there. Charles had to follow her as he was unable to refuse her.

"Babe, I don't need clothes. We won't be here for long..." Charles said with a frown.

"Charles, come on!" While selecting suits on the shelves, Autumn spoke to Charles, "We must be causing Eric a lot of trouble by staying in his house, uninvited. And Eric's clothes are tight and not comfortable. Look at you, your ankles are exposed. I know the suits here are nothing comparable to your custom made ones at home, but at least they will be more comfortable than Eric's. What? You dislike my gift?"

"Of course not. What?" Charles finally understood Autumn's point and asked surprisingly, "You mean... you're buying me the suit as a gift?"

"Uh huh!" Autumn nodded. Charles had booked the plane ticket and the hotel in Z City for her. She had been wondering what she could give to him in return. Now was the time for her to get him something nice.

"Welcome! May I help you?" A shop assistant came up to them and offered in a flattering smile, "Lady, your boyfriend has a nice figure. I think these suits will fit him quite nicely. How about this navy blue one? Our changing room is over there."

"Alright. Charles, give it a try." Autumn pushed him into the changing room. It was hard for Charles to turn down the warm-hearted offer, so he took the suit and went into the changing room. Autumn's eyes lit up as soon as he walked out in the new suit.

Autumn walked to him and did up the button for him. She praised, "You look wonderful! What do you think of it? "

"Excellent!" The shop assistant said to Autumn, "He looks even more handsome in this suit than our model on the poster. It looks as if it were tailor-made for him. "

The shop assistant flattered Charles non-stop. Autumn ignored her and asked Charles, "Charles, do you like it? "

"I like anything you choose for me." Charles stated in a low and charming voice. Autumn almost believed that he was professing his love.

"Well, I'll buy it?" Autumn raised her head and asked for his opinion.

"Okay." Charles took the suit and was about to pay, but Autumn immediately stopped him and said, "I said, I'll buy it for you as a gift. Please let me pay for it."

Charles suddenly felt like a moneyboy. But on second thought, Autumn was his wife. Seeing the joy on her face, Charles decided to say nothing more and let her pay for it.

"You've just bought me a gift. I should buy something for you in return." Charles grabbed her hand as he offered, "There is a shopping mall in the front. Let's go there. "

"Charles, I bought the suit for you without expecting anything in return, " Autumn stated seriously with a frown.

"Babe, I didn't mean it that way. I want to buy something for you also, as I want you to be happy." Charles explained sincerely and continued, "Come on! Cindy is leaving soon. We can also buy something for her."

"Alright!" Upon hearing his suggestion, Autumn's eyes lit up as she dragged him to the children's department on the fifth floor of the mall.

Autumn couldn't help but imagine how Cindy would look like in the beautiful clothes and shoes they saw at the mall.

"What do you think?" Autumn showed Charles a pink princess dress and asked for his opinion. Charles just smiled, and said nothing.

"What are you smiling at?" Autumn was confused as she touched her face and asked, "Are there any stains on my face?"

"No." Charles stared at her and explained, "Your eyes light up when you speak of Cindy. I was thinking about... what you would be like when we have a baby in the future. You'll probably look even happier!"

Autumn blushed with shyness as she grunted, "I don't want to have your baby."

Charles laughed out loud. Autumn stopped for a moment, and thought about what he had said. A baby of her and Charles would be... adorable.

While Autumn was dwelling on that thought, a familiar lady's voice came from the entrance of the store. Before Autumn could clearly see who she was, the person threw herself into Charles' arms. She held Charles tightly and yelled, "Charles, you must be here for me, right? I knew you still love me."

Rachel continued as she cried, "Charles, when you broke up with me, I was so frightened. I've made up my mind. Whatever decision you may have come to, I won't let you go. Since you loved me once, I'm sure you will love me for the second time.

Charles, let's start anew, okay?" Rachel wrapped her arms around Charles' waist tightly as she raised her head and looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes.

Rachel was a well-known celebrity. A crowd of people were attracted by what was happening there. The onlookers began to take photos, seeing Rachel holding onto a handsome man and crying out in excitement.

Rachel noticed Autumn who was standing still, but she ignored her.

She presumed Charles would be ashamed to push her away in front of so many people.

"Is that Rachel Bai?" The onlookers recognized her.

"She is. I heard she's working in Z City, but I didn't expect to see her here. So lucky!"

"Who is the man?" Someone asked.

"You don't know him?" Rachel and Charles' relationship gossips had provoked much discussion before. Charles was handsome and had a strong family background. As a result, Rachel's fans were glad that they were a couple.
