His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 270 You Are Still The Same

"What are you talking about?" Charles asked as he took off his coat. "It's nothing... Just some girl

thing." Chris replied before Autumn could open her mouth, casting a knowing look at Autumn.

Autumn immediately understood what Chris was telling her just by looking, so she did not say anything

about Chris's visitting the Lin family house. "And why are you home so early?" she asked Charles, as

she took his coat.

"Aren't we going to have dinner with the Zhao family? That's why I have come home earlier than usual."

Charles replied. "Have you gotten the presents ready?" he continued.

"Yes, I have, " Autumn answered. Autumn had bought presents for everyone at the Zhao household

that morning. "Wait a moment. I will check on grandma, " she said to Charles.

Autumn hung the coat and then went to Emily's room. As soon as she walked in, she saw that Emily

had already gotten up. "Grandma, what are you doing?" Autumn asked with concern, striding to her.

Emily was going through the clothes in her wardrobe one by one.

"Autumn, I need your help to choose the right clothes for me. Which one do you think will make me

look more energetic?" Emily had left the Zhao family for many years. She had been looking forward to

this day when Autumn was reunited with them.

"This one looks good." Autumn advised, pointing to a red cotton-padded jacket. Since Emily moved in

with the Lu family, Autumn had bought many clothes for her. Although Emily loved those clothes, she

had never worn them. But today was a big day, going to the Zhao family residence, so she wanted to

look good.

"OK, let me try it on." Emily said, taking the red jacket. "What do you think?" Emily asked with a bright

smile, after she put it on.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

She could no longer see, so she had to ask for Autumn's opinion.

"You look very beautiful, grandma." Autumn said, getting emotional. Although Emily lost her eyesight,

she still noticed the quiver in Autumn's voice.

"My little girl, don't cry. You won't look pretty if your eyes get puffy from crying." Emily comforted

Autumn, holding her hand.

"Grandma, I'm not crying, " Autumn lied, as her eyes got red.

"You silly little girl, don't be sad for me. It's common for aged people to lose their eyesight, " Emily

consoled her. "Grandma, I'm fine. Let's go, " Autumn reassured Emily, wiping away her tears.

By the time Autumn escorted Emily to the hall, Charles had already changed his clothes and was ready

to go. "Grandma, you look gorgeous, " Chris, standing beside Charles, said to Emily with a smile.

"Really?" Emily laughed with delight. After helping Emily to the back of the car, Autumn sat beside her.

She noticed Emily looking anxious. "Grandma, don't worry! We will arrive soon." said Autumn calmly.

"I'm not worried." Emily responded, stroking the back of Autumn's hand. "I'm a bit thrilled. After leaving

them for years, I don't know how they are doing."

"You'll meet them shortly." Autumn said smiling.

As they rounded the corner, Autumn caught sight of the Zhao family standing outside the gate. Even

Cindy was there, waiting for them, cuddled in Abby's arms. Autumn felt sorry to keep them waiting.

Charles parked the car in front of the gate.

She took Emily by the hand and they got out of the car. "My pretty sister!" Cindy shrieked with

excitement, running towards Autumn.

"Cindy, come with me, " Abby said to Cindy before Autumn could say anything. She picked up her and

held her to her chest. "Emily..." Amy spoke with her reddened eyes. She took Emily by the hand as

soon as she got to her.

Upon hearing Amy calling her name, Emily couldn't help but burst into tears. "Mrs. Zhao..." Emily cried,

reaching out to Amy.

Emily collapsed to her knees but Autumn and Amy stopped her. "What are you doing? No, please don't

do that..." Amy exclaimed.

"Mrs. Zhao, please forgive me!" Emily wept, overpowered by emotion. "If I hadn't left the house with the

young master, he wouldn't have died and Autumn wouldn't have led such a tough life all these years.

It's all my fault..."

"Ohhh, those are all in the past. And that was not your fault at all!" Amy responded. "It was Bowen's

own decision. How could I blame you for it?" she continued, taking Emily's hand.

"But..." Emily had been convinced that she was the one to blame for Bowen's death.

"Don't think too much of it anymore." Amy stopped her, stroking the back of Emily's hand. "If you

weren't there with him, Bowen would have lived a harder life and Wendy would have given my

granddaughter hell. In fact, you're our savior. How can I blame you?"

"Mom, let's get inside. It's very windy here. Aunt Emily might catch a cold." Abby advised.

"You're right. I was so excited that I've forgotten about that. Let's get inside." Amy held Emily's hand

guiding her through the path in front of her. Autumn stood on Emily's other side.

The two senior ladies looked just like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years. They kept

talking as if they would never get tired of talking to each other. Autumn couldn't find a way to cut into

their conversation.

"Are you alright?" Charles asked Autumn, as he noticed Autumn's frown.

"I'm fine, " Autumn replied, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. "I am just worried about

grandma's health."

"Grandma is overjoyed today. Just let them talk longer, " Charles reassured her, holding her hand.

Autumn nodded. Just then, she saw a small hand holding out some napkins. It was Cindy who had

climbed up onto the sofa.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Cindy asked with her beautiful big eyes wide open. Autumn smiled and shook

her head, not knowing what to say to her.

Kids are always naive. When she saw Autumn crying, she felt sad. But when she turned around and

caught sight of her favorite dragon fruit, she forgot about it immediately. She took the fruit and started

eating.

"Emily, how have you been doing? I heard from Arthur that you were in poor health. Do you feel better

now?" Amy asked. Amy was worried about Emily's condition.

"I'm old now. I have been used to it so you shouldn't worry one bit. The only one whom I worry about is

Autumn. But now she has married a good man and reunited with you. I feel more peaceful now." Emily

responded with a satisfied smile.

"Mrs. Zhao, please take good care of Autumn in the future, " Emily continued, clasping Amy's hands.

"You are still the same. You always think about others before yourself. When can you think for

yourself?" Amy said, gazing at her and brushing the hair away from her face. "Don't worry. Autumn is

my granddaughter and I will attend to her well."
