The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 318

Chris almost dragged Autumn out of the cinema abruptly. In fact Autumn knew very well what Chris was thinking. No matter whom she regarded that person, he would always remain her father. Who doesn't want to be the apple of the parents' eyes? Even though Chris wanted to be closer to her father, she would not admit it.

"What is wrong? You don't want to watch the movie as it has Rachel as an actress?"

Autumn and Chris then found a cafe near the cinema hall, where they sat down and ordered two cups of coffee. They began to chat and while away their precious yet free time.

They all had their work to do and responsibilities chalked out. With very little time to spare, they cherished every moment and decided to spend time with one another and chat. It was the small things like this that made all the difference.

"Autumn, let's change the topic. I simply don't want to waste any more of our valuable time together talking about her, " Chris frowned and said in an impatient tone, "I felt uncomfortable just hearing her name."

Right at that moment, the TV in the cafe seemed to buzz a little more loudly. It was broadcasting an interview about Rachel and her wedding ceremony tomorrow. As Chris watched her showing off her relationship with Edward on national television, Chris just wanted to turn it off.

"Please let us just go home." Autumn said as she considered her feelings. She knew Chris definitely had no interest in shopping right now so it was better just to head home.

After so many virtual run-ins with Rachel, they least expected to walk into Rachel hugging Edward on the sofa; both of them had smiles on their face. In contrast, Gary was solemn, sitting right across them.

Marriage seemed to impact the appearance of a person. It must be true. It appeared like Edward was younger than ever before. His looks had substantially changed from his inner body.

"What are you doing here?" Chris got angry and shouted at the both of them.

"Chris." Rachel stood up and tried to hold Chris' hand. "You are home, dear. Your father and I want to..."

"Just shut up!" Chris pushed her hand away and yelled at her, "Father? I don't have a father.

My father has already died!"

"Chris..." Rachel pretended to frown with remorse, but in her head she was feeling smug as she turned around and saw Edward's dull expression. She continued the drama of being kind as she persuaded Chris, "I know you are angry with your dad, but it's just rude to say your father has died."

"Rachel..." Edward was extremely disappointed with Chris. He pulled Rachel behind him as he walked towards Chris, and then said to her, "Chris, please have a seat here. I want to talk with you."

Edward felt awkward, as he noticed that Chris was so against him.

He would be happy, as tomorrow was his wedding. But whenever he thought of his daughter and their relationship, he was rather distressed and just did not know what to do.

And that's why he always went an extra mile regardless of the difficulties. He spared some time to meet Chris as he desperately tried to iron out the crease in their relationship.

"We have already made it clear last time. Since you have made your decision, then we have nothing to talk about." Chris replied in a rather cold tone, "Uncle, hope you have a happy wedding tomorrow!"

"Chris..." Edward walked right upto Chris and held her wrist, then quickly blurted out, "I'm not here to quarrel with you, but I really have something very important to say."
