The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 300

Chris was totally immersed in happiness after Sam's grand proposal, so much so that she didn't even notice Autumn's apparent displeasure. "Autumn, how could you join hands with Sam in his elaborate plan and lie to me?" Chris turned to Autumn as she grabbed her hands.

"What is wrong? Are you not happy now?" Autumn asked as her thoughts came back to reality with a smile. She was immensely happy for Chris despite her foul mood.

"Of course I'm happy..." Chris blushed away as she recalled Sam's proposal for the tenth time. 'My happiness is now beyond words, it knows no bounds. It is my dream to marry Sam and it seems like I have waited long enough for this day. Today he finally proposed. Now I feel like I am the happiest girl in the whole wide world, ' she thought to herself.

"The second you told me that you have broken your ankle, I rushed in such a hurry and in that time I came without any make-up or wasn't even dressed appropriately. I'm pretty sure I was looking my very worst yesterday, " Chris complained shyly.

"You're really a little silly girl, " Autumn said with a wide smile reflecting her blessings and happiness to the happy couple, as she glanced at the big diamond ring Chris wore. "It does not matter what you look like or even what you wear. Sam will love you any way, " Autumn comforted her as she lauded their relationship.

"Autumn, is something bothering you? You seem a little preoccupied, " Chris asked with concern. She could sense that Autumn was upset and something was eating at her today.

"I'm just fine, " Autumn assured her. The split second Charles entered the house, he let off a sigh of relief at the sight of Autumn. Chris forgot Autumn's low spirits immediately as she caught sight of him. "Charles, look at this..." she said, as she ran to him cheerfully, showing him her gigantic ring.

"Sam proposed to me today, " she repeated her story with more excitement than before.

"Did he now? It was about time!" Charles responded. Even though he was speaking to Chris, his eyes were fixed on Autumn who was standing behind her.

Autumn slightly lowered her head to avoid Charles's stare. She was now mad at him.

"Yes, he did, " Chris answered gladly. "Charles, when will you have time?"

"Why do you ask that? Are you so impatient get married?" Charles joked. 'I can't let Autumn keep sulking about this, ' he thought to himself. "I know this. Tell Sam that I will meet him at Fu Ji Restaurant tomorrow night, " he told Chris.

"Thank you Charles, " Chris responded with a bright smile which lit up her entire face. Chris then went upstairs delightfully.

While Autumn silently went upstairs as well, Charles followed her. As Autumn entered their room, she turned around with an intention to close the door. However, Charles stopped her. "Are you still angry with me?" he asked Autumn.

Autumn was a little angry with him, but she shook her head. "Don't you have to deal with your business in the study tonight also?" she asked in an irritated tone.

"I finished all my work in the office, " Charles answered. Autumn let go of the door and turned around to enter the room.

Charles maintained a close distance from Autumn. "Why are you following me?" Autumn asked impatiently, as she found Charles hovering behind her.

"Please don't stay angry. What you saw was simply a mistake and it led to a misunderstanding, " Charles explained, ignoring Autumn's anger and embracing her.

"Was that what it was?" Autumn asked with anger. "I know what happened was a mistake, and you're clear with her. But do you know..."
