The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 345

"Do I?" Sam was extremely worried about Autumn. The moment he realized that he had lost sight of Chris, he felt very sorry for her. He immediately explained to her, "I have been too busy these days to care about you, and I sincerely apologize for that."

"It doesn't matter." Chris said to Sam with a worried expression on her face, "Sam, I don't know what on earth has got you so worried and anxious. But I want to remind you that after our our wedding ceremonies next year, we will legally be man and wife. With that in mind, I wish we could deal with the dilemma no matter how it may impact us. As you can probably see, Charles and Autumn deeply trust each other, so nothing will do them apart. The foundation of their relationship strongly rests on love and trust. I hope to build the same with you! "

"Are you envious of them?" Sam asked her with curiosity as a frown set on his face.

"Of course, I do!" Chris got happy and excited just at the very mention of Charles and Autumn. "Charles has been my role model even since I can recall. All through childhood he guided me. He is a perfectionist with every work he takes up, irrespective of how small or big it is. So I do admire him quite a lot. And about his marriage, although he married the wrong bride, he married a girl who was the right fit for him, his true soulmate. Autumn is also a very nice person. No matter what difficulty I face in life, she always knows what to say to guide me in the right direction. Besides, they never have a row with each other. I don't know what you think of them, but I really envy them."

Sam couldn't help laughing. "Then, we won't have a row with each other in the future, either, I promise you that. No matter what happens with me, I will inform you immediately so we can face it together."

"OK. This is a deal." Chris was content and happy with his dedicated answer.

Sam was eager to tell Chris about the Autumn's volatile emotions. But after thinking over it, he decided against it and kept it a secret from Chris. Anyway, this secret would not affect their relationship and it wasn't definite. He didn't want to spread it around because it was her story to tell.

"It is getting dark. I should head back home now, " Sam said. Before he left, he added, "My parents are busy with the wedding preparation. As for things like taking wedding photos and the like, it's all your decision do whatever you think necessary to make yourself happy. You don't need to think about the money, that is my part."

"Then I will make decisions from my own wishes and whims." Chris then added with smile, "Have a safe ride home."

"OK, I will." Chris then went outside to see Sam till his car. Once she returned, she found Autumn was looking at her through the French windows in her room. She waved to her with delight. After she walked into the house, she saw Nancy going upstairs as she carried a glass of milk. Chris asked, "Nancy, is that for Autumn?"

"Ye, Mrs. Lu drinks milk every night before going to bed, " Nancy answered indifferently.

"Then let me take it up to her today." Chris said with a smile, "I am just going to see her."

"How can you do that?" Nancy stopped her in her tracks at once and said, "Miss Lu, this is a servant's duty. I can't let you..."

"What are you talking about?" Chris was taken aback by Nancy's words. She retorted, "You are not a servant. I was brought up by you since my birth. After all these years, you have been more like a family than most of our blood relatives. Moreover, I just help you take a glass of milk. It's no big deal. Come on! You may take a rest now."

"All right." Nancy was a little hesitant at first, but at last she handed the milk to Chris. Chris took the milk to the Autumn's room. As Chris opened the door, Autumn draw the curtains close. Autumn saw Chris with surprise, so she asked, "Why do you come to send me the milk today?"
