His Real Wedded Bride

Yvonne followed Charles into the door, sitting beside him. Autumn arrived not long after, seeing Yvonne talking to the three of them, though she was not welcomed.

"Wow, Chris! Your skin looks so good! How do you take good care of it?"

Chris did not respond, remaining silent.

"Charles, I'm so jealous of you! You live such a happy life with my cousin. I wish I could be so lucky to find a good husband like you, " Yvonne continued.

Noticing that no one is paying her any attention, she turned towards Gary.

"Grandpa…" she said, stopping mid-sentence to correct herself.

"Gary, I've heard that you like playing chess quite often. Would you like to play chess with me right now?"

Gary, being the kind man that he was, didn't have the heart to decline her suggestion directly. "Sure, if you'd like to."

His response immensely lifted her spirit. "Sis, can you please carry my luggage to my bedroom? I'm going to play chess with Gary right now, " she said, turning to Autumn.

Autumn didn't know what to say in response.

She felt like Yvonne is treating her like a servant.

Upon hearing this, Charles stood up and offered to carry the luggage of Yvonne.

Autumn followed him as they entered a vacant room located on the first floor.
