Chapter 4

• Edward smirked and said, “Mr. Walker if that assures you than I will transfer my entire property on her name not only 50%”
• Mr. Walker nodded immediately, “No..No Mr. King please don’t do that and try to understand my concern for her, I don’t want  people to think my daughter a gold digger and it will be great if you don’t tell this to her also”
• Edward stood abruptly and said, “Mr. Walker I will do everything you ask but I will never hide anything from her”
• This was his lesson from his last life because by hiding things he lost his Samara he will not repeat the same mistake.
• Mrs. Walker felt warm listening to his statement; Mr. Walker was about to speak when Mrs. Walker held his hand and said, “We are ready for this marriage”
• Mr. Walker was startled by his wife’s sudden announcement but he trusts her decision, so he kept quiet.
• Edward was beyond happy, he smiled and said, “Thank you so much Mr and Mrs. Walker” saying that he walked out of the study room because he was already missing his Samara.
• He cannot live even a minute without seeing her.
• In the study, Mr. Walker asked his wife, “How can you make such a sudden decision?”
• Mrs. Walker smiled and said, “Honey, didn’t you see his reaction when you asked to hide things from Autumn, he denied, a relation built on trust is unbreakable”
• “If our Autumn gets a husband like him who is ready to give her everything, what else do we want as parents?”
• Mrs. Walker agreed with his wife, but her next statement brought sweat on his forehead.
• “But Honey, they should get married before he comes back”
• Mr. Walker nodded and said, “Yes Honey, if he came back he will never let her marry to Mr. King”
• “And I think Mr. King can protect her from him”
• “And we should also tell everything about Autumn to Mr. King, but we will not tell anything about him to Mr. King”
• Mrs. Walker nodded in agreement.
• Zack came and invited Mr. and Mrs. Walker for dinner with Edward.
• After coming out of the study room Edward first went on to check on Autumn, when he entered his bedroom he saw her still sleeping peacefully.
• He smiled and walked to the bed and sat next to her, he kissed her forehead and murmured, “My sleepy head”
• Autumn turned to the other side and slept again.
• Edward smiled and went out of the room again; he went to the dining room where Mr. and Mrs. Walker were already waiting for him.
• They nodded and sat on their respective chairs while eating Mr. Walker broke the silence.
• “Mr. King Autumn is not our biological daughter”
• Edward’s hands froze he looked up and Mr. Walker continued, “Actually we adopted her when she was eight years old”
• “Her father was a police officer here in NY and some gangster had killed him and his wife in their house, Autumn was saved because her mother had hidden her properly and gangsters couldn’t find her ”
• “At that time my son was here for some business and he brought Autumn with him to us and we fell in love with her at first sight, we always wanted to have a daughter”
• “My wife couldn’t bear second child because of some complications, Autumn was only eight when Timothy brought her home and we happily adopted her”
• “We came here because Autumn wanted to meet her parents on her eighteenth birthday”
• Edward felt the pain because Autumn had to suffer all these at such a young age, he swore to give her all the happiness.
• Mrs. Walker hesitated and said, “Mr. King it will be good if you marry her as soon as possible “
• Edward frowned, he would love to marry her today but what about her brother, where is he? and why her parents don’t want to wait for their son.
• He asked, “Mrs. Walker, I would be happy to marry her today, but don’t you want to wait for your son, Autumn loves her brother so much so why not wait for him?”
• Till now he had understood how much Autumn loves and trusts her brother, the way she was trying to threaten him all the way, it was visible that her brother protected her well.
• Mr. Walker replied immediately said, “No..no Mr. King actually he is on business trip and the place where he went is a remote location, so we are unable to contact him”
• “And he will take another six months to come back”
• Edward felt it a little weird seeing both husband and wife’s reaction but he didn’t think much about it and he cannot wait for six months for sure. So he said, “Ok, Mr. Walker then we will get married in one week’s time”
• Mr. and Mrs. Walker sighed in relief.
• Edward asked,  "Can you please tell me more about her likes dislikes"
• A sweet smile crept on Mrs. Walker’s face as she started talking about Autumn, it was visible even though they were her adoptive parents but they love her very much.
• “She loves talking a lot, she is a walking chatterbox she can talk for hours without getting tired”
• “She loves white orchids, she doesn’t like wearing revealing dresses, she always wants to wear comfortable dresses”
• “She is very kind hearted; she cannot tolerate violence at all”
• And Mrs. Walker kept on saying and Edward registered every detail.
• After chatting for a long time and finishing their dinner Mr. and Mrs. Walker were about to walk towards their bedroom guided by Zack.
• Edward asked, “Mr. Walker, when is her parents' death anniversary?”
