The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 328

However, she never once expected that the Giant Promise Company would come forward to protect Autumn in such a big manner, and this shocked her.

Edward shook his head helplessly as he glanced at Rachel; he knew nothing good would come out of looking into it anymore. He had no other way to turn so he let out a weak sigh.

Rachel didn't dare to offend Edward at this point. Once she found that he had calmed down, she began acting like a brat. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean for something like this to happen. Had I known this would happen, I would have postponed the renovation. I just didn't expect such consequences, " Rachel said with an apologetic look.

However, her words failed to move Edward, so she had to make persistent efforts to convince him. "I am sorry, Edward. This is all my mistake. It is the first time I have taken such a big responsibility to manage such a huge hotel and I just wanted everything to be perfect, but... I really didn't expect to mess it up in this manner. I really did try my very best. "

She suddenly burst into tears as she spoke. After a small pause, Rachel went on, "I didn't think it would get so serious. There should have been time to take some precautionary steps, but... I was busy preparing for our wedding and it distracted me from the business. I told Miss Ye to slow down and drop the haste, but she declined my suggestion."

"Miss Ye? Who are you talking about?" The moment he heard this from Rachel, Edward felt things falling into shape.

Rachel looked up at Edward with a pitiful look, as her eyes glistened with tears. "I mean Autumn, Charles' wife."

She now found a new motive and determination which was to blame Autumn. "Perhaps it is because I am Charles' ex-girlfriend, and it always does seem like she is against me. I explained it to her many times that Charles and I had nothing now, but she just turned a deaf ear towards everything I ever said."

She said as tears kept trickling down her cheeks which began to annoy Edward. "Stop crying. Enough with the melodrama, " Edward interrupted her impatiently.

"There is no use of crying now, " he said with a sigh.

"Edward... Do you still blame me for how things went down?" As she wiped her tears away, Rachel asked in a shaky voice as she stared at Edward.

He took a big breath and then began speaking, "There is no use of blaming you now that everything has happened. But you have to remember that no matter what you are going to do, you have to be careful and be aware that everything has consequences. Don't do this again, okay?"

"I understand that and I will never ever commit such a mistake again." Rachel replied in a soft voice, as she gradually fell into Edward's arms and added, "Edward, I will ask for your approval before every decision I make and consult you when I conceive new ideas. And I promise I won't be so hasty again. I am so sorry. Please forgive me."

However, Edward was not relieved after hearing her words, instead he furrowed his brow and said to Rachel, "Were you not about to prepare breakfast? Please go ahead. I need some space to calm down now. Don't cry anymore."

Slowly, Rachel sat up upon hearing his cold response. "Edward, wait." She stopped Edward who was about to leave. "I have something to discuss with you. I have been worried about it for quite sometime, " she added.

"What is this about? Is something wrong?" Confused and also worried, Edward asked her.

"You know that Chris is a simple girl, but now she lives with Autumn. They literally spend the entire day together. I fear that under Autumn's company she may be spoiled. So I think it is better in her interest to ask her again to consider living with us, after all we are a family. What do you think?" Rachel said calmly, but indeed, she was still very furious since the moment Chris took property from Edward yesterday.

She hoped Chris would come back to live with them, but it was not because she really cared about her, but instead what she really wanted was to drive a wedge between Edward and Chris. This would be a easy for Rachel as long as Chris didn't get any help from Autumn.

"But..." After hearing Rachel's suggestion, Edward turned hesitant as he actually considered it. But he did not agree with what she said since he thought Autumn was not a scheming woman.
