The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 342

Autumn didn't know what was going on, but the road to Shining Company was too congested. It was almost time to get off work when she finally got there.

"Charles..." Autumn was standing downstairs, waiting for Charles. She saw him coming out of the presidential private elevator the moment it opened. She wanted to go to him and greet him warmly, but she also saw Leila following closely behind Charles. Autumn hated Leila's presence. It was like a cold bucket of water that was poured on her. She was going to wave to her husband, but dropped her hand on seeing Leila.

As soon as Leila came out of the elevator, she also saw Autumn. She moved close to Charles on purpose. From Autumn's angle, she could hardly hear what they were talking about, but she could see they seemed more intimate than before.

"Mr. Lu, I will go now. No need to disturb you and your wife." Leila said with a bright smile on her face. When she passed by Autumn she also greeted her as if nothing had happened.

Autumn was too overwhelmed to say hello to Leila. The intense feelings in her heart suddenly came up again. Her heart beat too fast.

Charles came close to Autumn and asked curiously, "Hello there! What's wrong with you? Why are you standing here in a daze?"

Autumn didn't answer Charles' question. "Why do you take the elevator down with her?"

That elevator was for Charles only. Without his permission, no one else could take it.

"You are starting to make blind guesses again." Charles just stared at Autumn. He explained, "She said she had something urgent to deal with after work, so she asked me if she could use the elevator with me. As you can see, we have so many employees in Shining Company. If she waited for the staff elevator, who knows when she will be able to come down? Therefore, I allowed her to take the elevator with me. What's wrong with that? Why are you so terribly suspicious and paranoid?"

Autumn didn't know the reason, either. Recently, she found her mood to be volatile, like the weather outside. She couldn't help giving malice to the relationhip between Charles and Leila. She had lost control of her emotions.

"Sorry, nothing serious. Let's go. Grandpa and grandma must already be waiting for us." Charles didn't mean to scold Autumn. He just thought that there could be something wrong with Autumn's emotional stability.

Autumn forced herself not to think of the relationhip between Leila and Charles. She constantly told herself that she must trust her husband, Charles. When they arrived at the Zhao family's house, it was bustling with noise and excitement.

It was freezing cold, that evening. Amy prepared a hot pot for the family. Smelling the spiciness of the hot pot, Autumn sniffed the air and exclaimed as soon as she came in, "That smells amazing!"

"Oh, Autumn. You're here!" Amy greeted Autumn as she carried the dishes to the table and Autumn also greeted her back. She also greeted everyone else. Then, she hurried to look for Emily.

"Grandma." Emily pushed the door open to reach out to Autumn the moment she heard her, and hugged her. "I miss you so much, grandma."

"My silly girl, why haven't you come to visit these days?" Emily took Autumn's hands and caressed them. She then felt Autumn's face. Afterwards, Emily frowned and asked her, "You seem to have grown thinner. Have you lost weight?"

"Do I?" Autumn replied, sounding like a vulnerable child. In recent days, she did lose some weight because she fell ill. But to her surprise, in spite of grandma's blindness, she could feel it by touching her face. Autumn explained to her grandma, "I've been quite busy these days. Besides, Charles also went on a business trip several day ago, so I didn't come to see you, grandma. I am so sorry."

Charles also came to join them in the room. After an exchange of greetings, Charles said to Emily, "Let's go, grandma. Let's have dinner."

Charles assisted Emily to the table. Emily could not eat too much spicy food, so Amy made a two-flavor hot pot. Autumn sat between Emily and Cindy so that she could take care of both of them.
