The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 105 Meeting Her Again

Rachel used to show off when she was with Charles. Autumn was forced to marry Charles and their

wedding had not been made public yet. When Charles realized that he didn't love Rachel anymore,

they broke up. But only a few people knew the news.

Lately, Rachel was seen alone in public several times, which prompted speculation about her breaking

up with Charles. Fans were so happy to see them here.

"Isn't he the man who had an affair with Rachel? His name is … Charles, that golden bachelor. They

are a well-matched couple."

"Yeah. Although they have been together for quite a long time now, they remain glued to each other

still. Most people would envy their deep love."

Rachel chuckled at the comments. A smile curved her lips when she saw Autumn turning paler and

more furious. To her astonishment, Charles pushed her out of the way.

"Charles!" His behavior caught her off guard. It was very hard for her to believe that he would shove

her to the ground. She stared at him, blaming, "You …"

"Rachel, stop! Are you done with this nonsense?" Charles shouted angrily. He thought he owed Rachel

because they had been together for several years. If he hadn't fallen in love with Autumn, he might

have divorced her and married Rachel someday. But when he found that he no longer loved Rachel, he

broke up with her.

Charles had put up with a lot of Rachel's misbehaviors in the past, which he wouldn't have tolerated

from anyone else. Besides, he tried his best not to hurt her too much or make her lose face. But now

she was wrong to do what she did in public. Charles couldn't forgive her actions in front of Autumn.

"What do you mean by nonsense?" Rachel wailed, "Charles, did I do something wrong? Why did you

leave me?"

"We have broken up." Charles looked indifferently at Rachel as she cried and said, "Miss Bai, you'd

better stay away from me."

"Broken up? I've never agreed to it." One might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. Rachel was

there shooting a movie. When she noticed Charles and Autumn shopping for children's products, she

was furious.

Although she had been with Charles for quite some time, they didn't have a sexual relationship.

However, he had been married to Autumn for only a month, and they're already shopping for children's

products. 'Is it possible that Autumn is pregnant already?'

Rachel glared at the direction of Autumn's flat belly, as her face burned with jealousy.

She got to her feet and grabbed Charles' hand, begging, "Charles, what did I do wrong? Please tell me

and I will change. I love you very much and I don't want to lose you. Please, we can turn over a new

leaf, can't we?"

"Let go of me!" Charles shook off her hand and warned, "Rachel Bai, quit it! We are over."

Charles' face exhibited uneasiness and impatience. There were excited fans who loved Rachel in the

crowd. Seeing their idol insulted, they cursed Charles, "You, love rat. Our Rachel is so pretty and kind.

How could you abandon her? Damn it!"

"I agree. Rachel, you are pretty and kind. You will find a better man. Break up with him!"

"Don't say something like that, " Rachel said crying, "There has been some misunderstanding. Charles

and I just quarreled. You are my fans, so please don't blame him."

Rachel explained on Charles' behalf, which enraged her fans even more, "You will regret it, if you don't

cherish such a good girlfriend."

"Of course. Our Rachel is good-looking and kind-hearted. Unlike most vain women who are greedy for

money, she loves you, truly. It's incredible how this man abandoned and broke up with Rachel."

"Enough!" Charles looked at Rachel, frowning, "Rachel, I have been tolerating you. I said we should

break up, but I also promised to make up for it. What's your purpose behind begging me to take you

back today?"

"I … I don't want to break up with you, " Rachel whimpered pathetically.

"But I am married now, " Charles sneered, "Even though you don't mind being a home wrecker, I won't

accept you as my lover. I am faithful to my wife."

"You …" Rachel had never imagined herself of being regarded as a woman lacking in self-respect. She

hated Autumn more because of this, so she whined, "Did you leave me because of her?

We have been together for many years. How could you break up with me because of a woman you

barely know? Charles, she is only interested in your money, and you…"

Rachel continued as she seized Charles' hand, "I am Rachel, a famous star. Who is she? Is she

younger, more beautiful or richer than me? Why would you choose such a woman like her rather than

me to be your partner?"

Charles derided Rachel for being foolish. He put his arms around Autumn's shoulders, announcing his

love for her, "In my heart, she is unique."

Then, without even looking back at Rachel, he turned to Autumn and said, "Let's go."

He walked away from the crowd with Autumn in his arms. When they reached a quiet place, Charles

sighed and apologized, "I am sorry for ruining your day. Rachel's behavior must have made you

embarrassed. I am really sorry."

"It's okay, " Autumn shook her head as she replied. She thought it was inappropriate for even a public

figure to handle such personal affairs in public. But she didn't complain, instead, she said flatly, "Maybe

her abnormal behavior is because she loves you too much."

"Love?" Charles mocked, "To be honest, she doesn't love me as much as that she thinks she does. In

other words, she has no idea of what love is.

We met at a charity banquet. At that time, she was a star who was just beginning her career. Since I

was already the CEO of the Shining Company, she adored me and tried her best to get close to me. I

knew that she used my identity to become famous. I admired her innocence, so I didn't mind her

scheming and helped her voluntarily." Charles sighed and added, "But later, she lost her innocence as

she stayed longer in the entertainment industry. Everyone thought we were lovers and I said nothing

about it. Rachel became famous and popular because everyone thought she was my girlfriend. Many

people told me about her improper behaviors, but I didn't care about them since they were problems I

could endure at the time.

Honey, don't feel stressed. Before you are married to me, Rachel and I already had differences and a

lot of problems in between us. You were the straw that broke the camel's back." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Charles' words didn't relieve Autumn's worries. She looked worried as she said, "Rachel won't think so.

She will put all the blame on me alone."
