The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 236

"Autumn..."

Amy locked her tear-filled eyes on Autumn eagerly. But for Autumn, this was overwhelming as this old lady was simply a stranger. She withdrew her hand in one swift movement with embarrassment and greeted her, "Hello, Mrs. Zhao."

"Mom, you have scared Autumn by your over excitement, " Abby said to Amy. Abby was much younger than Bowen but she was still Autumn's aunt.

"Sorry, I'm just too excited and happy." Amy wiped her tears from her cheeks and told Autumn, "I heard that Cindy is very fond of you and you saved her life so I just got so overwhelmed when I saw you now. I hope you don't mind."

"It is alright." Autumn smiled. She didn't mind it at all but she felt a little shy and awkward to speak with a stranger.

After considering for a moment, Amy told Autumn, "You can call me grandma, child."

Although she hadn't told Autumn their relationship yet she still hoped Autumn would call her grandma.

Autumn was a little confused. As she was about the same age as Abby, she thought it would be weird to call Abby's mother "Grandma".

"My parents were quite old when I was born, so since then most of my friends preferred to call them grandma and grandpa instead of aunt and uncle out of respect and love. Besides, now that Cindy calls you 'sister', you can call Amy 'grandma' just like Cindy." Abby tried to explain to her with a smile.

"Oh, I understand." Autumn nodded her head slightly then greeted Amy, "Hello, grandma."

"Hello, Autumn." Amy couldn't contain her emotions, but Arthur stood up immediately and told her secretly, "How could you be so excited before Autumn? If you continue to speak like this, you will scare our visitors away. Didn't you say that you would prepare dinner all by yourself? Why don't you go to the kitchen and prepare now!"

"Okay. Autumn, wait a moment and I'll prepare dinner for you." Amy cast a glance of affection at Autumn and proceeded towards the kitchen.

"Sit here, Autumn." Abby asked Autumn to sit in the sofa and then Cindy climbed onto her shoulder immediately. Autumn secretly asked Abby with Cindy in her arms, "Is this a celebration for your new house? Are Charles and I the only guests you have invited?"

"We also invited Sam but he has some matter of more significance to deal with today. You know that Z City is our hometown but we almost cut all the connections with our relatives and old friends there. Now we have only two friends here, Sam and you. Therefore, you are the only guests we can invite." Abby added with a smile, "Don't worry. My parents are very kind and friendly. They just got a little overexcited when they saw you."

Autumn nodded her head and replied. "I see." Cindy told her she wanted to eat oranges so Autumn picked up one and started to peel it for her.
