Chapter 453 Thief In The Lu Family

Ever since her pregnancy, Autumn always felt self-conscious and uncomfortable when someone stared at her tummy. Unable to bear Leila's gaze any longer, Autumn got up hurriedly. "Give me a call when you set your wedding date. I'll buy you a nice wedding present."

"No need to bother, Autumn," Leila said, smiling. She looked slightly embarrassed at Autumn's words. "You already gave me the best gift, your forgiveness. I can't ask for more."

"It's all right," Autumn responded, smiling back at Leila. "It's my gift for your unborn baby," she continued, looking around to signal to Brent that she wanted to go.

They walked together towards the exit, and Leila turned to give Autumn a big sisterly hug. "Thank you!"

They were home in a matter of minutes. Autumn noticed that Nancy still looked pale and unusually quiet. "Are you feeling unwell, Nancy? You don't look well since yesterday," Autumn said, concern in her face.

"I'm fine," Nancy said lightly, forcing a smile. "Mrs. Lu, I prepared the dinner, and it's on the table. Mr. Lu isn't home yet. You can eat first if you want," she continued.

"Thanks but I will wait for my husband. Are you sure you're fine? If something's bothering you, don't hesitate to tell me," she told her comfortingly. 'Nancy has been working for the Lu family for a long time, she's like our family, ' she thought.

"I'm really fine, Mrs. Lu. Perhaps I'm just tired," Nancy reassured Autumn with a smile. She turned to Brent behind Autumn, and with a disapproving look she told him coldly," You, come with me. I have something to tell you."

"Can we talk about it later? I'm starving," Brent appealed to her mom. "Mom. Did you prepare my dinner?" he asked.

"Food! Is that all you can think about?!" Nancy seemed agitated. Her voice raised as she pulled her son harshly to her side. She had forgotten that Autumn was still standing listening. "Please excuse us, Mrs. Lu," she apologized.

"It's okay," Autumn replied, a little shocked at seeing Nancy behave this way. She went up the stairs still thinking that Nancy had been acting weird la

brokenly," I warned you not to steal things but you didn't listen to me. In just a few days you have stolen so many things. Did you think no one would find out? How can you put me in this awkward situation? I have worked for the Lu family for more than twenty years and diligently fulfilled my duty. But to save you, I drugged Mrs. Lu. Instead of blaming me, she hired you to be her driver. How can you steal from these good people?"

Exhausted, Nancy finally stopped beating Brent and sat shaking on the bed. Brent endured his mom's anger, deep in thought. 'I chose small items to steal because I thought they wouldn't notice that. But they found out soon enough.'

Brent let his mom take out her anger on him. He truly regretted what he did.

When he first came to the Lu family's house, he was extremely discontented with his role as a driver. But later on, he found that being Autumn's driver was an easy job and started to enjoy it. Since she was pregnant, she?disliked?going out unless to go shopping. Besides, he was receiving a generous salary. He tried to do his job, but he couldn't resist his impulse to steal when he saw valuable stuff.

"You'd better hurry and see Mr. Lu and tell him that you want to quit your job. After that, return to our hometown," Nancy told her son emotionally. "After what you've done, I can't let you stay here anymore." Nancy's tone broke no argument.
