The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 343

"Okay." Charles nodded at Andy and went to Autumn. He gave her a pat on the shoulder and whispered, "Autumn, wake up. Let's go home."

When Autumn opened her eyes, Charles' face was onto hers. She asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Have you finished your conversation?"

"Yes. Let's go home, " Charles said. He was used to ignoring his wife as long as he threw himself into his work. For this, he felt a sense of guilt.

Charles escorted Autumn into the car. When they left, Autumn was wide awake. Charles noticed that Autumn was staring blankly in the passenger seat and he apologized, "Were you bored just now? I'm so sorry about that."

"Sorry for what?" It took quite a while for Autumn to get back into the moment. Her mind had been adrift somewhere far away. When she realized why Charles made an apology, she replied with a smile, "It's okay. You were talking about business. I couldn't join in, so yes, I felt kind of bored."

"Work usually eats up all my attention. If I ignore something, especially you, please remind me." Charles' apology was sincere.

"It is okay." Autumn said gently.

It was odd that she always got distracted. Her good mood was easily spoiled. Even small matters affected her significantly.

As soon as they arrived home, Nancy came forward and took their coats and bags. "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, have you had supper? Do you want some snacks or maybe desert?" Nancy asked eagerly.

"No, thank you, Nancy." Charles replied, "We are okay. You can go to bed."

"What about Mrs. Lu?" Nancy turned her gaze to Autumn. She knew Autumn's habit of having a glass of milk before bedtime. Autumn was about to reply, but Nancy said, "Your milk is ready. Do you want to have it now?"

"Yes." Autumn agreed with a nod. After finishing the milk Nancy brought from the kitchen, she said, "Thanks Nancy, have an early night."

Nancy wasn't friendly to Autumn. But she treated Autumn with civil respect. It was enough for Autumn.

Autumn had intended to wait for Charles. After his shower, maybe they could have a talk. Sometimes things didn't work out the way you thought they would. However, as soon as her head touched the pillow, she drifted off to sleep. Never did she know there was something wrong with her body at that time.

After taking a quick bath, Charles was disappointed to find Autumn already asleep. He took off her clothes with a bitter smile and cleaned her up before he tucked her in.

The next day, as soon as Autumn arrived at the Cloud Advertising Company, she found all the girls huddled over something behind the door of the conference room. It seemed as if they were ogling at some precious treasure. She asked in surprise, "What are you all looking at?"

"Manager Ye, finally, you are here." One of the girls walked to Autumn and complained, "Manager Ye, you are married. Why didn't you introduce this handsome man to us? That's so unkind."

It was just a joke. However, Autumn was completely at a loss. She asked the girls in front, "What are you talking about? What handsome man?"

"Manager Ye, when we arrived for work today, we saw him standing beside the door. He said he was your friend and came here looking for you. So we invited him inside to wait in the conference room."

Autumn racked her brains with her brows wrinkled and couldn't think of who he was.
