The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 270

"What are you talking about?" Charles asked as he took off his coat. "It's nothing... Just some girl thing." Chris replied before Autumn could open her mouth, casting a knowing look at Autumn.

Autumn immediately understood what Chris was telling her just by looking, so she did not say anything about Chris's visitting the Lin family house. "And why are you home so early?" she asked Charles, as she took his coat.

"Aren't we going to have dinner with the Zhao family? That's why I have come home earlier than usual." Charles replied. "Have you gotten the presents ready?" he continued.

"Yes, I have, " Autumn answered. Autumn had bought presents for everyone at the Zhao household that morning. "Wait a moment. I will check on grandma, " she said to Charles.

Autumn hung the coat and then went to Emily's room. As soon as she walked in, she saw that Emily had already gotten up. "Grandma, what are you doing?" Autumn asked with concern, striding to her. Emily was going through the clothes in her wardrobe one by one.

"Autumn, I need your help to choose the right clothes for me. Which one do you think will make me look more energetic?" Emily had left the Zhao family for many years. She had been looking forward to this day when Autumn was reunited with them.

"This one looks good." Autumn advised, pointing to a red cotton-padded jacket. Since Emily moved in with the Lu family, Autumn had bought many clothes for her. Although Emily loved those clothes, she had never worn them. But today was a big day, going to the Zhao family residence, so she wanted to look good.

"OK, let me try it on." Emily said, taking the red jacket. "What do you think?" Emily asked with a bright smile, after she put it on.

She could no longer see, so she had to ask for Autumn's opinion.

"You look very beautiful, grandma." Autumn said, getting emotional. Although Emily lost her eyesight, she still noticed the quiver in Autumn's voice.

"My little girl, don't cry. You won't look pretty if your eyes get puffy from crying." Emily comforted Autumn, holding her hand.

"Grandma, I'm not crying, " Autumn lied, as her eyes got red.

"You silly little girl, don't be sad for me. It's common for aged people to lose their eyesight, " Emily consoled her. "Grandma, I'm fine. Let's go, " Autumn reassured Emily, wiping away her tears.

By the time Autumn escorted Emily to the hall, Charles had already changed his clothes and was ready to go. "Grandma, you look gorgeous, " Chris, standing beside Charles, said to Emily with a smile.

"Really?" Emily laughed with delight. After helping Emily to the back of the car, Autumn sat beside her. She noticed Emily looking anxious. "Grandma, don't worry! We will arrive soon." said Autumn calmly.

"I'm not worried." Emily responded, stroking the back of Autumn's hand. "I'm a bit thrilled. After leaving them for years, I don't know how they are doing."

"You'll meet them shortly." Autumn said smiling.

As they rounded the corner, Autumn caught sight of the Zhao family standing outside the gate. Even Cindy was there, waiting for them, cuddled in Abby's arms. Autumn felt sorry to keep them waiting. Charles parked the car in front of the gate.

She took Emily by the hand and they got out of the car. "My pretty sister!" Cindy shrieked with excitement, running towards Autumn.
