His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 300 You Know Him

Chris was totally immersed in happiness after Sam's grand proposal, so much so that she didn't even

notice Autumn's apparent displeasure. "Autumn, how could you join hands with Sam in his elaborate

plan and lie to me?" Chris turned to Autumn as she grabbed her hands.

"What is wrong? Are you not happy now?" Autumn asked as her thoughts came back to reality with a

smile. She was immensely happy for Chris despite her foul mood.

"Of course I'm happy..." Chris blushed away as she recalled Sam's proposal for the tenth time. 'My

happiness is now beyond words, it knows no bounds. It is my dream to marry Sam and it seems like I

have waited long enough for this day. Today he finally proposed. Now I feel like I am the happiest girl in

the whole wide world, ' she thought to herself.

"The second you told me that you have broken your ankle, I rushed in such a hurry and in that time I

came without any make-up or wasn't even dressed appropriately. I'm pretty sure I was looking my very

worst yesterday, " Chris complained shyly.

"You're really a little silly girl, " Autumn said with a wide smile reflecting her blessings and happiness to

the happy couple, as she glanced at the big diamond ring Chris wore. "It does not matter what you look

like or even what you wear. Sam will love you any way, " Autumn comforted her as she lauded their

relationship.

"Autumn, is something bothering you? You seem a little preoccupied, " Chris asked with concern. She

could sense that Autumn was upset and something was eating at her today.

"I'm just fine, " Autumn assured her. The split second Charles entered the house, he let off a sigh of

relief at the sight of Autumn. Chris forgot Autumn's low spirits immediately as she caught sight of him.

"Charles, look at this..." she said, as she ran to him cheerfully, showing him her gigantic ring.

"Sam proposed to me today, " she repeated her story with more excitement than before.

"Did he now? It was about time!" Charles responded. Even though he was speaking to Chris, his eyes

were fixed on Autumn who was standing behind her.

Autumn slightly lowered her head to avoid Charles's stare. She was now mad at him.

"Yes, he did, " Chris answered gladly. "Charles, when will you have time?"

"Why do you ask that? Are you so impatient get married?" Charles joked. 'I can't let Autumn keep

sulking about this, ' he thought to himself. "I know this. Tell Sam that I will meet him at Fu Ji Restaurant

tomorrow night, " he told Chris.

"Thank you Charles, " Chris responded with a bright smile which lit up her entire face. Chris then went

upstairs delightfully.

While Autumn silently went upstairs as well, Charles followed her. As Autumn entered their room, she

turned around with an intention to close the door. However, Charles stopped her. "Are you still angry

with me?" he asked Autumn.

Autumn was a little angry with him, but she shook her head. "Don't you have to deal with your business

in the study tonight also?" she asked in an irritated tone.

"I finished all my work in the office, " Charles answered. Autumn let go of the door and turned around to This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

enter the room.

Charles maintained a close distance from Autumn. "Why are you following me?" Autumn asked

impatiently, as she found Charles hovering behind her.

"Please don't stay angry. What you saw was simply a mistake and it led to a misunderstanding, "

Charles explained, ignoring Autumn's anger and embracing her.

"Was that what it was?" Autumn asked with anger. "I know what happened was a mistake, and you're

clear with her. But do you know..."

"Come on, " Charles said coaxingly. "I won't let it happen again. Please don't ignore me like this. Just

hear me out and believe in what I say!

You have no idea how busy I have been these past few days..."

Charles told her that he had been occupied in his business and felt exhausted recently. "Then just hop

into a warm shower and prepare to sleep." Autumn said as she mellowed down.

She intended to let it go this time as she knew her husband was in the clear and had no ill intentions.

But she made up her mind to talk to Charles about Leila soon.

Charles fell asleep soon after a shower. Right at this moment, Jina was quarreling with Isla at home.

"You must explain the scene to me. Why were you dissatisfied with Stephen?" Jina yelled at Isla

furiously. Jina had a bad temper. Once she learned that Isla had broken up with Stephen and hit him,

she blazed with anger. "You agreed to go on a blind date. I found you so many good boys and you

finally found someone you didn't exactly dislike. But look at what you have done. You dumped him and

even picked a fight with him. Are you out of your mind?" Jina bellowed with rage.

"Stay calm. Let Isla tell us what happened in her words, " John intervened. "It's all your fault. You

shouldn't have doted on her. Do you know what Stephen said to her? He said that she was..." Jina

turned to John, as she snapped at him for no apparent reason.

"What did he say?" Isla asked, as she was now turning red with rage. Isla initially didn't get angry when

Jina scolded her. 'I hit him first, ' she thought. But when she heard that Stephen had attempted to

slander her reputation, she couldn't control her anger anymore.

"He..." Jina stammered. Stephen's words were so indecent and coarse that she couldn't even think of

uttering them in this tense moment. "Don't mind what he said. Just tell me your thoughts. Are you going

to go for a blind date or not?" Jina asked in rather serious tone.

"No, I most definitely not, " Isla replied with conviction. She had initially planned to tell Jina and John

that Aron wanted to meet them. But as soon as she got home, Jina blamed her for beating Stephen. So

she had no chance to talk about this and clear the air.

Upon hearing Isla's words, Jina was stunned. "What... What did you just say?"

"Mom, I said that I will not be on a blind date, " Isla answered in a cool yet resolute tone. "After going

for several blind dates, I realized that it's not a good idea. Therefore, I have decided that I will not go for

it again. Life is too short to waste my time on things that make me uncomfortable..."

"What are you thinking about?" Jina asked, scowling at Isla. "You're almost 30. What is your plan for

the future if you go on to refuse blind dates? Is your ambition to be an unmarried maid? A spinster?

Just look at you now! You've come home reeking of alcohol."

Isla had had a few more drinks than usual in a bar to gather the courage before going home.

"Isla, your mom and I did not force you to go on a blind date. You had given your consent. I mean after

all it was your decision. But now..." John furrowed his brow. "You make it sound like we forced you into

committing a bank heist. I know that you don't like this method. But I hope you understand the only

reason we pressured you was because we were thinking about your future."

"I know and I understand that, " Isla responded with a little nod. "Mom, dad, I refuse to go on blind

dates because I have a boyfriend, " she continued after a long pause where she chose her next words

carefully.

"What?" Jina and John asked at the same time, as they glanced at each other in confusion and shock.

"When did you get a boyfriend? What is his name? What do his parents do? How old is he? Tell us

everything!"

Overcome with joy and relief, John and Jina bombarded Isla with a series of questions. "You both

know... him, " Isla said to Jina after hesitating for a while.

'I know the guy?' "Who is your boyfriend?"

Jina asked with confusion as she raised her eyebrows.
