Chapter 391 On A Vacation
Chapter 391 On A Vacation
On their way back home, Chris barely uttered a word until she asked a rather pertinent question,
"Autumn, do you know... why Edward does not want to start a family with Rachel, after all they did just
get married?"
Chris frowned, as she wondered what he was thinking. "He is old and just married Rachel, so he
should be thrilled after learning that Rachel is pregnant? But Rachel's expression reflected that... my
dad didn't want her to get pregnant, " Chris said confusedly.
Then she added, "I first noticed his weird expression and aversion when Rachel brought up the topic of
having a child in our home." Autumn also got confused upon hearing Chris' dilemma. After a while, she
too recalled what Gary told her right before they left and suddenly came upon a realization.
'Maybe... the fight Edward was involved in years ago had led to his impotency?
If that is the truth, then Edward's weird attitude and Gary's words could be justified and understood, '
Autumn thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Chris cast a glimpse at Autumn and asked.
Autumn stopped introspecting and added, "Nothing. Chris, if Rachel comes to bother you with this
matter again, please just stay away from her. You shouldn't get involved in this drama, it will only lead
to trouble with her involved."
If Autumn's guess was the truth, then Chris had better keep away from this, or else, she could cause
trouble for herself.
Autumn was just about to leave for a vacation with Charles soon, but now suddenly all she could do
was to worry about Chris.
"I understand." Chris nodded her head and added, "I'm not close with Rachel at all let alone sharing
any relation, so there is no reason for me to get involved in her mess. I would be a fool not to know
better."
Chris had never thought ill of Rachel's unborn baby, but she still wouldn't persuade Edward for Rachel.
"Okay." Autumn felt assured as she heard Chris' promise and said, "In short, stay away from Rachel
recently and prevent her from stirring any trouble for you."
"OK, sounds good to me!" Chris nodded with a smile.
On Wednesday, Charles and Autumn woke up early to leave for their much awaited trip. As Chris was
still asleep, they left after bidding goodbye only to Gary.
Luckily, it was sunny after two days of rain, seeming to indicate that it was a nice trip.
They chose an island as their destination. On their way there on boat, Autumn had never seen such a
beautiful and vast scenery. It was an overwhelming sight, like a green paradise in the middle of the sea.
As the boat approached it gradually, Autumn could see it more and more clearly. Once the boat came
to a halt, Charles got off first and then extended his hand to Autumn.
"Be careful." Charles helped her get off the boat carefully. Then he took all their luggage and went to
the hotel where they reserved a sea-view suite. Autumn fell on the bed happily as they entered the
room and she exclaimed, "Wow! Happy holiday, I'm finally here !" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Charles looked at Autumn with affection and said with a smile, "It sounds like I had you locked away in
a dreadful place for a long time."
"Yes, you did!" Autumn blamed him in a playful tone. Autumn sat up and said, "Can you believe this is
the first time that we have come for a vacation together since we got married."
Charles put their luggage away and promised to Autumn, "I will spend several days to go on vacation
with you every year from now on. We will see the entire world, my love."
"Really, you mean that?" Autumn's face lit up with happiness. She stretched out her hand, as she
entwined her finger with Charles' as a swear. "You have sworn it and I will punish you if you break your
promise."
Charles smiled, wondering why she was so childish.
They rested for some time, and then Autumn put on a floral skirt to go with the theme of their beach
vacation.They then went to the seaside. They wandered on the beach hand in hand. It was almost dusk
but they were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the dimming sun and settling waves. Autumn
walked with barefoot and gave a sincere smile. Charles hadn't seen her smile like this for a long time.
He suddenly felt that he made a right decision to take her on a vacation. Even though he did it only for
her smile.
They came across some couples taking wedding pictures. Autumn looked at them with admiration.
Although she never complained for not having any wedding pictures, Charles understood what she was
thinking and feeling.
They married in a hurry so they had no time to take wedding pictures. This became Autumn's
unfinished dream.
Charles left Autumn and walked towards the couples suddenly. Autumn was amazed and asked him,
"What are you going to do, Charles?"
"Wait a minute, I will be right back. " Charles approached the couple and told them something which
made them turn back and look at Autumn together.
Autumn had no idea what happened let alone what he said. She looked at the couple and found they
were nodding their heads to Charles. Charles bowed to show his appreciation and walked up to the
photographer. The girl from the couple approached to Autumn. "Follow me, please, "
She said with a smile.
"Where are we going?" Autumn asked in confusion.
"You'll know everything in a few moments, please follow me, " the girl said with an air of mystery. She
led Autumn to a dressing room and took off her wedding gown. "I think this gown will flatter you as well
because your figure is similar to mine. Please put it on quickly, or else you won't be able to take your
perfect wedding pictures after the sunset, " she said.
"Take photos?" Autumn was surprised and realized what Charles did for her. Even though she felt sorry
for this couple, she was really moved by Charles' thoughtful gesture.
She looked at the girl with guilt and said, "I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
"Never mind." The girl happily put on the wedding gown for Autumn and said to her, "Your husband
loves you so much and I'm happy to help you get your perfect moment. It makes my day even more
memorable."
Then Autumn chatted with this girl for a short time, and realized that this couple also came from Y City.
What a coincidence!
Charles had also changed his clothes as Autumn came out of the dressing room. He stood by the gate
with a bunch of flowers in his hands while the the sun almost set behind him, giving Autumn a sense of
eternity.
They took a set of beautiful pictures. The photographer praised that their affection for each other and
their chemistry was clearly reflecting in the pictures even though they didn't pose on purpose.
