The Gray Autumn's

The Gray Autumn's
Gabriel's Big Smile



Autumn stunned herself. "Ah, fucked!" thought. After this, she was sure that Arumi would definitely shower her with various strange and detailed questions. "Forget over. It's not important. Um, I was just talking, "I'm trying to avoid Autumn. However, Arumi immediately grabbed her wrist. He hinted for the girl to remain there, before giving an explanation to him. "Come, Mom. Please," ask Autumn


"Say something, Elle!" arumi.


"What am I supposed to say?" deny Autumn again.


"The man you've been keeping a secret from us!" Arumi. "So, that guy wasn't Gabriel?" search again. "Come, Elle! What made you have to hide it so tightly from your own parents?"


Autumn did not answer immediately. The girl looks worried. On the one hand, he wanted to immediately pledge his relationship with Benjamin in public. However, on the other hand there is something that is still a consideration. "I didn't mean to hide anything from my mom and dad. However, the situation is too difficult and I myself do not feel sure," Autumn explained making Arumi even more curious.


"Can you give me an explanation that I can understand right away?" urged Arumi, making the gray-eyed girl again take a deep breath. "Come, Elle! What are you waiting for!" Arumi really has almost lost patience, because of the long-winded attitude of the eldest daughter. He stood up with a fixed and sharp gaze that felt so intimidating to Autumn.


"This is called coercion" Autumn said again, stalling. He hopes Arumi really lost patience until finally feeling fed up and decided to no longer urge him. But Autumn was wrong. The mother is still in her position. If it is like that, there is no reason for the 175 cm girl to continue to avoid.


"Alright," Autumn said at the end. His defense collapsing also saw the sharp gaze that Arumi directed towards him.


"I'll listen to you" Arumi replied.


Autumn corrects its standing position. He seemed to be gathering all the courage to be able to say everything to Arumi. Autumn thinks maybe this is the time, because gradually everything will be revealed. "Look, Mom. All this time, I had been in a secret relationship with someone. A very different man. He's a grown man, and even more mature than me" Autumn started the story. While Arumi is still waiting for what Autumn will tell me next.


"I knew him by accident. I also didn't know if we were going to meet again, and it was a coincidence that I thought was completely unexpected" Autumn fell silent for a moment.


"Then?" ask Arumi waiting for her continuation.


"Everything happened so fast. She caught my attention and made me really fall in love with her. He's a very wonderful man, and I ...." Autumn was unable to continue her words. He looked at the mother. His feelings at the time were very uncertain. "I was at a loss for words to express what that feeling was like towards her. It's something new to me and very special. I was really in love with her, Mom," a beautiful twinkle suddenly appeared in the pair of gray eyes of the beautiful long-haired girl.


"Who's that guy, Elle?" ask Arumi without much ado. Autumn's thin lips seemed to tremble slightly. He had already intended to reveal a single name, but something seemed to be holding him back.


"Who is he, Elle?" insist Arumi without changing his intonation. This made Autumn feel more intimidated. Her heart wanted to shout the name of the man she loved so much, but her tongue felt a bit out.


"You still want to keep it a secret, Elle?" ask Arumi again. While Autumn just fell silent not responding to the mother's question.


"All right, honey" Arumi looked disappointed. He intends to get out of the kitchen and leave Autumn alone, making the girl feel bad when he sees Arumi passing by with a sense of disappointment.


"Benjamin Royce," Autumn said immediately, and made Arumi immediately stop the step. The middle-aged woman turned her head and stared fixedly at her eldest daughter. He then returned to the girl with a look of disbelief.


"That's the truth, ma'am. I'm in love with Benjamin Royce. We're in a relationship quietly and waiting for the right moment to reveal it to mom and dad" Autumn said.


"When, Elle?" search Arumi.


"Since the inauguration of the father's resort in Marseille," replied Autumn.


"How far along is your relationship? Don't you know what Benjamin Royce's life is like? He was surrounded by many women. That's why he's still single today."


"Mom doesn't know her very well. He told me a lot about his life and his past. To be honest that I .. I went to Marseille with her, Mom," Autumn said, making Arumi even more distrustful of the honesty of her daughter.


A pair of Arumi's eyes widened perfectly. It's hard to believe Autumn's honesty has left her almost heart-attacked.


"Geez, Elle! You ... You lied to me and your father?" the middle-aged woman was full of suspicion.


"No, of course not!" refute Autumn with confidence. "I went there to attend Joelene's wedding. However, besides that I also spent time with him .. in his residence," Autumn continued with a downcast face.


Just now Arumi was about to respond to a remark from Autumn, unexpectedly Edgar was present there. "What are you guys doing here?" ask the man. "Elle, Gabriel wants to say goodbye. Why are you sitting in the kitchen?" the man nodded inexplicably. Autumn and Arumi looked at each other. They immediately returned to the living room and met Gabriel who was seen going home.


"I'll be in the office tomorrow" Autumn said with a smile.


"Goodoo. After all, the day after tomorrow we will have an announcement of the selected idea for the upcoming summer event" Gabriel said. The blond man stared at Autumn for a moment.


"That sounds like something really amazing" Edgar chimed in.


"Yes, Mr. Hillaire. Elle contributed a very unique idea for the event this time. I think, Mr. Royce would have liked it if the idea of Elle was chosen," said Gabriel made Arumi immediately glance at his eldest daughter.


"Yes, and I'm glad that you and my daughter could be in a much more serious relationship" Edgar said suddenly, leaving Autumn wide-eyed when he heard that. The girl then turned to the mother who seemed reluctant to comment.


"What does father mean? What serious relationship?" asked Autumn not to understand. However, at that time his feelings had begun to worry about the answer of the charismatic man.


Edgar smiled broadly. He then touched Gabriel's shoulder intimately. While Gabriel seemed to be happy, as he also came smiling widely. "I love your courage, Gabriel. A man should be manly by boldly expressing his feelings. Gabriel asked me for permission to have a relationship with you, Elle."
