The Apple of My Eye

Because Isla insisted on asking her about her love affairs, Autumn told her the truth about having gotten married just recently.

"What?

You got married? Who is your husband?

Is he handsome?" Isla asked her too many questions in one go. Autumn smiled and asked Isla, "Which question do you want me to answer first?"

"I don't care. You must answer my questions honestly. Tell me why did you get married secretly, without even inviting me. Don't try to lie to me, otherwise I'll beat you!" Isla said with dissatisfaction.

Isla was from another city, so she had no close friends other than Autumn in Y City. Isla and Autumn had promised each other that when either one of them got married, the other would be her bridesmaid. But now, Isla was a little annoyed at the fact that Autumn had gotten married without even informing Isla.

"Isla, don't be angry. I didn't do it on purpose. Forgive me, please." Autumn sighed. Then she told Isla everything. Isla got indignant when she learned that Wendy had compelled Autumn to marry a complete stranger.

"Wendy is so evil! She had never given you her love. I once hoped that when you'd become an independent woman, you would be able to get rid of her from your life, but now it feels like she has taken away any chance of happiness you could ever have in your whole life. She disgusts me!"

Although Autumn had told her story in a calm manner, Isla imagined how desperate she must have been when she was compelled by her mother to marry a man she didn't love. She felt sorry for Autumn.

"Don't worry." Autumn patted Isla's hand and consoled her, "Look at me. I'm fine, really. Don't be worried."

There was a huge wealth gap between Autumn and Charles. She wondered whether such a difference would affect
