The Substitute Bride

Chris knew that the problem between the couple would be solved as long as Autumn patiently explained everything to Charles.

Autumn nodded and replied, "I know." 'I want to tell Charles, but... I don't know how to start.

Besides, I have already agreed to pull away from Charles. I have made up my mind and I can't give up easily, ' she mused.

Autumn sighed. "Chris, we will solve our own problem. Tomorrow I will fly to Z City at 10:00 am. I will stay there for a couple of days. Please take care of yourself, Charles and grandpa."

Chris was surprised. "Oh, you are going on a trip?" Chris was stunned and thought, 'She chose to run away from their problem instead of solving it. If it lasts too long, their problem would be more difficult to handle.'

"Yes, I am, " said Autumn, nodding slightly, 'It has been a while since I quit my job. I had no time to travel around in the past and Charles bought me this ticket. During this trip, I can think about our relationship, ' she again mused.

"But..."

Autumn said, "Don't worry. I just want to take a trip to relax. I will come back in a couple of days." Chris wanted to persuade her not to go, but she knew that Autumn wouldn't listen to her. 'Perhaps it's good for her to take a trip to relax, ' she thought to herself then said, "Okay, then go to bed early."

As Chris left the room, she saw that Gary was talking with Charles. He asked with a frown, "What's going on between you and Yvonne? What happened?"

Charles frowned slightly and answered, "Grandpa, leave this to us." Charles just wanted Autumn to understand that they had become a family since they got married and that they should share things with each other and face them together. A couple shouldn't have secrets.

"Charles, you are the man in this relationship. Even if your wife did something wrong, you should forgive her." Chris joined in. "You shouldn't remain angry at her."

Charles replied in a disapproving voice, "You're just a child, so don't intervene with our matters."

"Did I say anythin

' she thought.

Charles replied, "I have to drive Yvonne to the airport in a minute. I will eat later." He didn't want to make Autumn miss her flight.

"Nancy, go get him some congee." Autumn said. And she turned to Charles with a concerned expression, "We have enough time. Have some congee first. I won't miss the flight."

As Charles complied and finished the congee, Gary came to the room and walked to them. He told Autumn, "I heard that you will go on a trip. Do you have everything ready?

Autumn nodded. "Grandpa, when I'm away, please take care of yourself. When I return, I'll bring you some special products from Z City."

"I don't need those. Just look after yourself while you are there." Gary laughed heartily.

After breakfast, the couple left for the airport, but they didn't talk to each other on the way.

Autumn looked in the rearview mirror, staring at herself. She saw no pleasure on her face, as if she was unwilling to go.

It didn't take Charles much time to drive to the airport. When they got there, they still had plenty time before the plane took off. He said with a concerned look, "It's cold in Z City. Stay warm and don't catch a cold."

"Don't stay too late in the street. It's not safe to return to the hotel alone at night. "

And call me every night. Don't forget. "

She frowned but nodded, "I will. "
