The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 51 What A Coincidence!

"Yvonne, you know Mr. Lin?" Chris turned her head and took a look at Sam. Then she turned back and

asked Autumn doubtfully.

She could see that there was something weird between Sam and Autumn.

"Little Ye, do you really have no intention of acknowledging me?" There was a sense of exhaustion and

sadness in Sam's voice. He knew he shouldn't have left her, but he had a reason.

He finally managed to return to his country. However, now Autumn was someone else's wife.

While Autumn was hesitating, Sam already stood in front of her. She sighed and gave a stubborn smile,

"Hi, Sam. It's been a long time."

It was a simple greeting, yet contained mixed feelings.

Autumn still looked the same, but her eyes were full of strangeness and alienation. Sam didn't really

like her reaction.

"It's been a long time." He forced a smile.

"Yvonne, Mr. Lin, how do you know each other?" Chris looked back and forth between Autumn and

Sam in confusion. There was a strange atmosphere between them, but Chris couldn't tell why.

"Yvonne, why did Mr. Lin call you Little Ye? Is that your nickname?"

"Well, she..." Sam was about to answer, but Autumn interrupted him, "When we were kids, he used to

call me that."

He used to call her Little Ye because her surname was Ye. But she was "Yvonne Gu" now.

"I get it." Chris nodded, "You've known each other since childhood."

"Let's drop it." Autumn felt guilty and changed the subject, "Chris, how did you know Sam?" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"We..." Chris blushed a bit. Autumn immediately understood what was on her mind. Sam was just as

handsome and rich as Charles. It was not surprising, Chris liked Sam.

Chris stole a glance at Sam with a blushing face and explained, "Mr. Lin was my senior and helped me

a lot when I studied abroad. He came back to start a company not long ago. Now, he was in need of an

assistant, so I went to give an interview in his company today. So, he is my boss now."

Sam nodded to Chris indifferently. He had no mood to talk to Chris. All he could see there was Autumn.

He wanted to question her why she betrayed him and married someone else.

Autumn couldn't bear Sam's accusing look anymore. She smiled to Chris and said, "Congratulations!

You two haven't seen each other in a while. Why don't you both go out and talk about your good old

times. I have to go home now."

Autumn turned around and was about to leave, but Sam immediately grabbed her hand and suggested,

"Little Ye, we haven't see each other for a long time. How about having supper together?"

Sam held Autumn's hand tightly, and she was unable to get off his grip. She wanted to reject the offer,

but Sam didn't give her a chance. He turned to Chris and gave a bland smile, "Chris, please tell Yvonne

not to say No to me. I haven't seen her for a long time, but she doesn't even want to have a supper with

me. Is it because your brother is very protective about her private life?"

"Of course not." Chris didn't realise Sam's intention at all. She intimately held Autumn's arm, "My

brother trusts Yvonne very much."

Chris persuaded Autumn with a smile, "Yvonne, grandpa just called to tell me that Charles has a dinner

this evening. Why don't we have supper with Mr. Lin? "

Seeing Chris's eager eyes, Autumn would feel mean saying no. So, she finally nodded in agreement.

Chris was thrilled when she saw Autumn agree for the supper. Chris didn't conceal her feelings for

Sam. Autumn knew even Sam could see that.

However, Sam used Chris to keep her. This made her uncomfortable.

"Let me go." Autumn shook Sam's hand off.

This didn't make Sam angry, but he felt a bit frustrated because of Autumn's cold attitude. He forced a

smiled to Chris, "There's a Sichuan Restaurant not far away. How about going there?"

"Ok... okay..." Chris's eyes faded a little. They knew each other for a long time, but he didn't know

anything about her taste.

Whenever she ate spicy food, she would get the diarrhoea.

Chris nodded with a smile as she was not willing to decline Sam's offer. But Autumn rebuffed his

suggestion, "Let's eat hotpot. Chris suffers from indigestion. She tends to get loose bowels when she

ate spicy food."

"Really?" Sam gave Chris a surprised look as he didn't know about it at all.

Sam chose Sichuan Cuisine because he remembered Autumn was fond of spicy food. As for Chris's

taste, he never really noticed.

Chris was a little disappointed, but she didn't show her disappointment. "It doesn't matter. If you want to

eat Sichuan Cuisine, we..."

"We'll eat hotpot." Autumn made the decision and walked in front of both of them. She was trying to

create more opportunities for Chris and Sam to know each other.

Chris cast a grateful glance at Autumn. She had just mentioned it casually once, but Autumn

remembered her taste. On the contrary, Sam had known her for a long time, but he didn't know her

taste at all.

"Mr. Lin, are you... childhood friend with Yvonne?" Sam and Chris followed Autumn. Chris tried to make

a conversation to get close to Sam.

Sam talked to Chris only because he wanted to know more about Autumn. Their topics were always

about Autumn.

Chris smiled, "We were neighbours when we were kids. She used to come over for meals. "

"Oh, so that's it." Chris nodded to Sam.

Sam smiled and asked, "How did your brother get to know Little Ye?"

"They never met each other before the wedding. Yvonne got married to my brother not long ago. She is

a wonderful lady. My grandpa and I like her, so does my brother." Chris smiled and sighed, "What a

coincidence!"

"Indeed." Sam clenched his fist tightly and thought to himself, 'If I did come back earlier, would she

have been married to me?'

He was just one step behind.

Sam fixated his eyes on Autumn. He didn't want to give up.

He had loved her since he was a teenager.

"Mr. Lin..." Chris was about to say something, but Sam interrupted her, "Chris, though I'm your boss

now, I need your help. Just call me Sam. I feel weird being called Mr. Lin."

"Okay, Sam." Chris blushed again.
