The Apple of My Eye

"Irrespective of the problems you run into in the future, if you need my help, I'll do my best to help you out, but..." Charles Lu put his arm around Autumn Ye's shoulder and said to Rachel Bai, "I am a married man now. I hope that you will not disturb my life any more. I don't want my wife to misunderstand the relationship between us. Have I made myself clear now?"

Charles frowned and continued. "I am ready to forget everything that happened between us today and before, but if you keep coming to me like this, I won't continue being cordial with you anymore."

"You..." Rachel's face turned pale. Probably she had never thought that Charles would be so ruthless to her. She smiled bitterly and asked him, "Do you really love her that much?"

During the days when Charles was with her, he had never been so determined to clarify his relationship with any woman. And now, he was so anxious to do so only to take care of Autumn's emotions.

Does that mean Autumn holds a very important position in Charles's heart?

She looked at Charles. He lowered his head and looked at Autumn in his arms. With an unconscious smile on his face, he said, "Yes, I love her very much, so I won't allow anyone or anything to jeopardize our marriage. I hope you can understand that."

Hearing what Charles just said, Autumn felt a degree of warmth in her heart.

As she realized that she had misunderstood him, she felt really embarrassed.

As a matter of fact, it was not Charles that she didn't have faith in - she actually didn't have faith in herself. After all, her rival in love was a mega star, who was prettier and famous than her. In comparison to Rachel, Autumn always thought of herself as an ugly duckling.

But now, the ugly duckling actually defeated the white swan.

She smiled and lifted her head. Her smile froze a bit when she saw the injury and anger in Rachel's eyes.
