The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 320

"I noticed Mr. Lu looking cheerless lately which led me to think that maybe you guys had a fight, " Leila said.

"What happened that day was a grave mistake. I thought Mr. Lu must be feeling drowsy after working so many hours so I poured him some coffee. But I accidentally spilled the coffee on his lap. I was just trying to clean up his pants when you entered the office. I never meant to cause some misunderstanding, " she added, trying to explain.

Despite her apology, Autumn couldn't help but imagine her gloating deep inside.

'She doesn't feel sorry at all. She kept on reminding me of what happened. Is she expecting that my suspicions would destroy the relationship between Charles and me?

She must think that the more she tries to explain, the more skeptical I become. That's exactly what she wants, ' Autumn wondered.

"There's no need to worry. We've been married for a long time so I know him more than anybody else. He's a faithful husband and I know that he'll never betray me. I might have gotten angry when I saw that scene but I've already forgotten it, " Autumn said, looking as if she had read Leila's thoughts.

"If I were you, I wouldn't really think too much about this. Besides, we wouldn't be fighting over such a small thing. He just really works hard. Trust me, he's not upset or anything, " Autumn added, sounding sure of herself.

Leila's face turned red in anger upon hearing this.

'She's obviously trying to play it down by reminding me not to think too much about it. It's almost as if she's saying I'm not capable of turning them against each other, '

Leila thought to herself.

"Really? I even lost sleep just to think about this!" Leila responded, laughing casually.

"You can finally have a good night's sleep tonight then, "

Autumn said with a contemptuous smile.

"I hope so, " Leila said meekly.

"Anyway, I'm hanging up the phone now since I still have some work to finish. Don't worry about Mr. Lu. I'll make sure to keep an eye on him so he doesn't have the chance to cheat on you."

"You don't really have to. But thanks, " Autumn said, gritting her teeth.

If anything, Leila was her biggest concern.

"You're welcome, "

Leila responded as she ended their conversation.

Autumn heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the bed. She was extremely worried that Leila might do something immoral just to get Charles.

She might have pretended to be cool but she felt relentless deep inside.

Not wanting to miss Charles' call, she stayed awake the whole night, staring at her phone. Even a small noise woke her up despite being extremely drowsy. Unfortunately, Charles hadn't called that night.

The next morning, Autumn came across Chris the moment she got up. "Hey, what happened? You almost look like a panda with those black eyes, "

Chris remarked, taken aback by the dark circles under her eyes. Autumn's white skin highlighted her under-eye area even more.
