The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 141 A Good Talk

"Ye, since when has there been a mad dog running wild at your home?" Isla had never met Yvonne

before, although she did hear of her. Without Autumn introducing Yvonne, Isla could guess who she

was

Before Autumn could say anything, Yvonne standing nearby couldn't remain silent any more. She

turned her gaze from Autumn to Isla and shouted, "Who are you to interrupt me?"

Autumn refrained from talking back. She knew she had had enough of Yvonne's bad temper. She was

about to say something, when Charles stood up.

Since Yvonne moved in, Charles had been ignoring her. He looked through Yvonne and at Autumn.

"Darling, have you finished your breakfast? I would like to take you to a nice place. You can come with

us, Isla."

"Alright." Isla was pleased with Charles'a attitude. She and Autumn got changed and were about to

walk out of the door, when Yvonne rushed to Charles and gave him a flirtatious smile. "Charles, look at

my sister. I'm her sister, but she is getting help from someone else to gang up on me. Anyway, I'm

going to move into the main building tonight. The servants' house is dirty and small. How can I live in

that place?"

Yvonne took Charles's hand tenderly and asked, "Charles, how could my sister treat me that way?

After all I'm..."

"She can do that because she's the hostess of this house." Charles dropped Yvonne's hand and said

with a straight look. "This is her house. She decides who can and can't live here. If you're not willing to

live in the house for servants... That's fine with me. You can go back and live with the Gu Family any

time."

Charles smiled bitterly. "Please tell me if you decide to leave. I can ask my chauffeur to drive you

home."

"No, " answered Yvonne angrily and anxiously. How could she go back, like a beaten dog, with her tail

between her legs?

She swallowed her pride and said to Charles sweetly, "Charles, I just got confused. I'm so sorry. Can

you forgive me?"

Isla hated her callousness.

Yvonne swallowed her anger and said humbly, "I don't know how to behave properly, so please don't

be angry with me. Please."

"You should tell that to your sister, " said Charles. "Honestly speaking, you did many wrong things, but

your sister has always been kind to you. She has never rebuked you. So, you should apologize to her."

Yvonne went pale. But she knew that she shouldn't provoke Charles any more today. She had to

exercise restraint, and went to Autumn unwillingly. She said, "Sister, I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"Don't mention it. No big deal. Just forget about it," said Autumn in a way which was magnanimous.

However, her next words almost made Yvonne lose her temper again. "However, I have had enough of

your over-persistence. If you do this again, I will have to ask you to leave. Are we clear on that?"

"You..." Yvonne's face went white. She was about to fight Autumn again, but she looked back and saw

the threatening look on Charles' face. She restrained herself and calmly answered, "Alright, sister.

Don't worry. I'll behave."

"Well, it's good that we've finally come to an agreement. Now, let's go," said Charles. Then, Yvonne

came forward and asked them, "Charles, where are you going? I want to go with you."

Since it was the weekend, Yvonne was determined to go with them.

Autumn was about to refuse her, but unexpectedly, Charles agreed.

"Alright, let's go together," said Charles, nodding his consent.

Autumn had no idea of why Charles would do that. But Isla knew that Charles must have other

intentions, otherwise why would Charles allow Yvonne to come along and burden them?

Outside the house, Yvonne rushed to open the front passenger door. "Sister, I get carsick easily. Can I

sit in front beside the driver?"

It's well known that the front passenger seat is reserved for the driver's wife or girlfriend. Yvonne

wanted to win over Autumn on this so she tried and looked into Autumn's eyes in a threatening manner.

She thought Autumn would cave in, but she was wrong. Autumn smiled coldly and said, "I'm so sorry.

I'm also likely to be carsick."

Yvonne never expected Autumn to refuse her request. Isla, standing nearby, came to Autumn's aid.

She took Yvonne's hand and said amiably, "Let's both sit in the back. There's no need to interrupt the

couple. We can have a good talk." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Isla said the last two words emphatically. Then, she took Yvonne and got in the car.

Yvonne hated Isla already. She knew Isla just made an excuse to force her to take the back seat but

unexpectedly, Isla literally wanted to talk to her.

"What's your relationship with Ye? Why hasn't she told me before that she has a sister?" asked Isla

wryly.

Yvonne had decided to impress Charles. So, she gave Isla a big smile and answered, "We are distantly

related. So It's quite normal that she hasn't introduced me to anyone else."

"Are you serious?" asked Isla coldly. She might have been fooled by Yvonne if she hadn't already

known Yvonne's background. Now, she wanted Yvonne to give herself away. "Your distant relative is

treating you so well. Look at your clothes, they must be expensive. Where did the money come from?"

"I..." Yvonne was rendered speechless. She restrained from losing her temper and said gloomily, "My

aunt and uncle bought them for me. They have always been treating me well. Actually, they're really

nice".

"Of course they are. Everyone knows that. Ye has never been treated that way. Other people who don't

know your family well might think you're their daughter." Isla giggled.

"Nonsense." Yvonne suddenly went pale with a very guilty look.

"Don't worry. We're only having a good talk," said Isla, with a big smile on her face. "By the way, have

you gotten yourself a boyfriend? I think it's time for you to get married and start having a family. Haven't

you fallen in love with a nice boy yet?"

Yvonne looked embarrassed and lowered her head. She whispered in a low voice, "No, I don't have a

boyfriend yet. My parents have been strict with me since childhood. Mom always said that a girl should

have a reserved manner. She shouldn't have an intimate relationship with a boy before marriage. So, I

have never had a boyfriend so far."

However the other three people in the car didn't believe her and felt disgusted at her lies.

Isla was trying to restrain herself from slapping her in the face, and said to her, "Well, that's really good.

I have a friend. He's really good-looking, rich and most importantly, kind. If you have time, I can set a

date for you both. If things don't work out, you can still be friends. What do you think?"
