The Apple of My Eye

She was clear about the fact that if she continued to make compromises, she would be at the mercy of others for the rest of her life. Even though she realized that she may never see her grandmother anymore.

But ever since she had gotten married to Charles, she was eager to live a sweet life with him in the future, which somehow gave her hope and encouragement. She had decided not to let fate determine her life anymore.

Wendy's voice was heard on the other side of the phone again. "I have discussed it with your Uncle Simon and we have decided to let Yvonne live with the Lu family for the time being, and you have to arrange this for her. Go and talk it out with Charles. Yvonne will go there tomorrow. "

"You must be insane, " said Autumn. Autumn had never expected Wendy to make such a request. "What do you want me to do? How can I talk about this with Charles? You'd better tell him directly that I am not Yvonne."

"No, I can't do that, " Wendy said firmly to Autumn. "It is not the right time to tell him the truth. We can't risk exposing both of your identities so early. I hope that Yvonne will get to spend some more time alone with Charles. During that period, you'd better be tactful and try to create some opportunities for them to get along with each other. When they end up falling in love with each other, I will allow you to meet your grandmother."

"That is impossible!" Autumn was very irritated. She sneered and went on, "Wendy, I am not your puppet anymore."

Suddenly, Autumn felt like she was armed to the teeth. She was no longer afraid of anyone, ever since she got married to Charles.

"Autumn, how dare you?" Wendy did not expect Autumn to decline her request and was irritated by her poor attitude and disobedience. "I can tell you that the doctor called me today and told me that if your grandmother doesn't have a surgery as soon as possible, she is not going to make it. So you'd better obey me and try not to offend me next time or you will lose your beloved grandma soon. It is all up to you. I am afraid to say this, but you will have to look before you leap, " Wendy said indignantly.

"Don't threaten me with my grandmother." Autumn laughed grimly as she understood that Wendy was an avaricious woman and she would never be contented. Therefore, Autumn gradually decided to decline her unreasonable requests. "Wendy, I will see my grandmother some day and as for the request you've just made......"

Autumn sneered and went on, "I am not going to do it, so you might as well forget about it."

Autumn was about to hang up after she finished speaking. Her words had somehow alarmed Wendy, who was starting to get hysterical. She repeated the words she had just said and continued to warn Autumn that Charles was supposed to be Yvonne's husband. Wendy thought that it was Autumn who stole Charles from Yvonne.
