The Substitute Bride

Autumn picked up the phone and said, "Hello..." As soon as she answered the phone, it was Charles's angry voice that greeted her. "Didn't I ask you to give me a call when you got off the plane? I called many times. Why didn't you answer the phone?"

When he hadn't gotten through to her, he almost lost his mind. Now he only wanted to make sure that Autumn was safe.

Charles's anxious voice shook her determination to alienate him. Autumn replied, "I'm sorry. When I got off the plane, I forgot to call you. Then, when I went out, I forgot to take my phone with me. I'm really sorry."

With Autumn explaining to him gently, Charles couldn't pretend to be mean to her anymore. His voice softened. "What did you do the whole day? It's already dark. Did you return to your hotel just now?"

"Yes, I just came back to the hotel." Autumn turned over on the bed where she was sitting and told Charles, "Today, I saw a little girl who had gotten separated from her parents on the beach. I didn't leave her until her parents showed up. That's why I have just gotten back."

Charles wasn't pleased. "Next time if you get in a similar situation, just walk away. Don't get yourself in trouble."

Autumn couldn't believe that Charles would say these words. After a short pause, she replied, "Fine, I will."

That little girl looked so cute. Autumn couldn't just ignore her.

Nowadays people have become indifferent. Sometimes you think you have done some good deed, only to find out that you have fallen into a trap. That's why an increasing number of people don't dare to help others anymore.

Charles asked tenderly, "Have you had dinner?" Autumn had been so worried about Cindy that she had forgotten to get food for herself. She was just starting to feel hungry. She didn't want Charles to worry about her, so she replied, "Yes, I have. What about you?"

Before Charles could answer, Chris grabbed the phone from his hand and said, "Yvonne, don't lose contact with us again. If you still hadn't picked up the phone, he would have fl

here. Cindy ordered lots of seafood. I had no idea that she is allergic to it.' thought Autumn to herself.

Andy said gratefully, "It doesn't matter. Thank you for looking after her today." 'Abby and I mistook her for a person with bad intentions. How could I suspect her as such?' Andy blamed himself.

Autumn shook her head and said, "It's fine." She then continued, "Now that you have your child with you, why did you bring me here?"

"Here is the thing." Abby said, "Cindy is really spoiled. When she woke up just now and found you're not here, she became angry and refused to get an IV drip. She kept demanding to see you. We had no choice but to bring you here."

Autumn said in relief, "I see. Mr. Xu, if you need my help next time, please don't send your men anymore. The one who fetched me is kind of creepy..."

When Autumn mentioned him, she was still scared. Autumn pointed to the man in his suit behind her.

Abby burst into laughter and told her husband, "I told you not to take them with you, but you didn't listen to me. Now, they scared Miss Ye."

Andy scratched his head, looking awkward. Abby came forward to Autumn and said, "Don't be scared. He used to be in a gang. But after our daughter was born, he left that life behind. These men are our bodyguards."

Autumn nodded in a yes and said, "I will go in to see Cindy now."
