The Substitute Bride

Autumn explained to Nancy, "I don't know what happened between you and you son, but you are a member of Lu family. So if you are in trouble, remember to seek Charles' help. I believe he will give you a helping hand without any hesitation."

Autumn thought it was Nancy's status of housemaid that impacted Nancy's relationship with her son after a long separation.

"You..." Nancy trailed. She was overwhelmed with remorse and regret for her crime, because especially, Autumn gave her the red envelope to relieve her trouble at the Eve.

"Your kindness is too big for me to accept!" Nancy was shameful, "I remember my not having made it easy for you when you married into Lu family. You have every reason to hate me instead!"

"Your concern is absolutely unnecessary!" Autumn looked at Nancy in bewilderment. "You deserve my support, as you are a devoted member of this family. Be sure to ask for our supports in case of any trouble!"

Meanwhile, Abby's arrival was announced. Nancy promptly opened the door for her without wasting a moment.

Abby suspected Nancy of drugging Autumn and escorted Autumn back to the bedroom and warned her, "Autumn, you better keep Nancy at a distance."

"May I ask the reason?" Autumn was perplexed and said, "I was just chatting with her. I think there is no harm in doing so."

"Please pay heed to my advice. Nancy may be a suspect, " Abby spoke in anger.

"It is not possible!" Autumn smiled and explained it to Abby, "Nancy has devoted herself to Lu family for so many years. I find it impossible to believe that she drugged me. If Charles heard what you just said, he would become offended."

"Autumn, you are too kind!" Abby sighed. "Drop the matter. Come, let's enjoy the meal."

Abby feared Autumn would be hurt by someone with ulterior mo

her."

"I am too bored not to kill time by chatting with her from which I found the relationship between Nancy and her son.... is not quiet smooth. Is it true?" Autumn asked Charles.

Charles nodded gently. "Nancy's son was left to her husband when they divorced. Now, he is thirty years old and still unmarried. Over and above, he is indulging in gambling and smoking. His father did not educate him well. The son is making every attempt to demand money from Nancy."

"Her ex-husband and son are definitely bringing misfortune upon Nancy." Autumn expressed her sympathy towards Nancy.

"My lovely wife, all you need to do is to take good care of our baby." Charles said to Autumn, "Please do not bother about others' businesses."

"I am just killing my time." Autumn talked to Charles, "Thanks to Nancy, a devoted member of our family, I find it tolerable to stay at home."

Autumn mentioned it to Charles, "At the Eve, I heard Nancy made an anxious call downstairs. From the call, I learned of Nancy's family trouble, so I gave her the lucky money my family gave me to relieve her from the situation."

"You mean.. Nancy was in need of financial help?" Charles asked thoughtfully.
