The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 389 Rachel Is Pregnant

"I'm so sorry for how I acted and how I believed everyone without any questions, Manager Ye. I hope you replace it in your heart to forgive me, " Yoyo begged.

Autumn smiled and said in a humble tone, "Okay, what ever has happened is all in the past now. Actually I also am responsible for what I suffered. So let us learn from it and move past it."

Then she said in a painful tone, "I really hate to get into trouble and the negative energy so I didn't spare any effort to explain myself when all of you misunderstood me. It was my fault. I should have cleared the air and laid the truth in front of you."

"From now on, let's open our hearts to each other and avoid any misunderstanding between one another," she optimistically added.

"Wow, you are very kind, easygoing and humble, just the same as what Isla told me!" Yoyo sighed and regretted having cause so much unecessary drama for Autumn.

"Let's forget all the unhappiness in the past and restart a new chapter together, one of joy and faith!" Autumn cast a grateful glimpse at Isla who was drinking with others. Autumn really appreciated Isla for all her help, support and silence.

Without Isla, Autumn wouldn't have been able to accomplish what she did today.

With that Autumn felt lucky and blessed to have found such a faithful and loving friend.

As dinner was almost over, Isla who was drunk passed out in Aron's arms. Both of them and Autumn were the last to leave the venue. Aron asked Autumn, "Do you need I to escort you home?"

"No, thank you. I will be just fine." Autumn nodded and said, "Charles is on his way to pick me up. You can carry on now because Isla is drunk and is in desperate need of rest."

"Okay, goodbye." Isla was smashed so he had to rush her home.

All of their colleagues too had left now. Some left by taxi, while others were picked up by their friends or family members. Standing at the gate of the restaurant, Autumn was waiting for Charles eagerly. Autumn then called Charles and asked him when he would arrive. Charles told her to wait for another couple of minutes.

It was starting to get cloudy and Autumn too felt a little gloomy somehow despite how her day went.

Autumn waited for a long time before Charles finally reached. He walked up to her, holding an umbrella and said gently, "Have you been waiting for a long time? I'm sorry. I was in a party in the west end of the city when you called me."

Usually, it would take forty minutes for someone to drive from where he was but Charles reached in thirty minutes today so he must have driven very fast in order to pick her up as soon as possible. Autumn was moved and but she blamed him in an affectionate tone, "Why didn't you tell me that? I could have gone home by taxi."

"Oh no harm done. I wanted to go home with you." Charles smiled and said, "It was just a boring party for business. You are more important than any of that."

Charles walked to her side of the car and fastened her seat belt, then he said, "Andy told me the event you held today was a huge success. Really?"

"Yes, indeed it was, "Autumn said proudly. Even though some accidents did make it hard, it was finished successfully.

She told Charles all about what happened today with great zeal, looking forward to his praise almost like a child.

"Charles, I feel great sense of achievement and pride after finishing this by myself!" Autumn exclaimed with a smile and added, "Now I feel so relaxed that the event concluded well and now we can proceed to our trip without anything hindrance."

Charles was extremely happy for her as he said, "You can stay home tomorrow and pack up our luggage for the trip. If you need anything else, I'll ask Chris to buy it with you."

Autumn's body was still a little weak so Charles did not feel safe for her to go without someone's company. Autumn understood his kindness and agreed with his suggestion.

They were scheduled to leave on Wednesday. It was raining the whole day on Monday and the bad weather boggled Chris' mood down. She looked at the rain trickling down the window and asked Autumn, "When will this rain stop?

Will you leave with my brother day after tomorrow?" Autumn nodded her head to answer. Then Chris' phone rang before Autumn began speaking. Chris frowned as she saw the name on the screen. Evidently, she didn't want to answer it at all.

Chris cut the call but it rang once again after a few seconds. Soon after, Autumn's phone also rang and she found out this recurring calls were from Roger. She moved aside and received it. "Hello, what's up?" Autumn asked indifferently. They hadn't spoken to each other in a long time so she just assumed something bad must happened.

Roger was anxious and said in a whispering tone, "Mrs. Lu, I'm in the hospital with Rachel right now. She is talking on the phone so I have the chance to tell you the news. She is pregnant just like she planned!"

Now Autumn realized the one who kept on calling Chris must have been Rachel. Unexpectedly, Rachel really got pregnant, but nobody knew if the baby's father was Edward or Roger.

"Mrs. Lu, did you hear what I just said?" Roger asked her.

"Yes, I did, "Autumn answered as she was still accepting what she just heard.

"Rachel told me that she was coming to the hospital for a physical check in the morning. I never expected it was because she was pregnant. The first thing she did after learning this news was to call Miss Lu to show off. I hope to tell you this in advance so you can handle the situation." Autumn heard Rachel's impatient voice echoing from the background as Roger finished his speaking, "Who you are calling? I have one more check to do, come here!"

Roger then blurted out abruptly in fear, "Sorry, I have no time to speak more. Bye!"

Roger hung up the call in a hurry. Autumn returned to the living room and found Chris sitting in the sofa restlessly. She sat down beside Chris and asked her, "What happened?"

"Autumn, Rachel... is pregnant." Chris said with a shocked expression. She never expected Rachel to get pregnant in such a short time after marrying Edward especially not after the way Edward reacted the last time about having a child.
