My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Various guesses filled her mind, and Audrey felt a little uncomfortable.

She sat in the private room and poured herself a cup of coffee. After drinking it in one gulp, she finally mustered the courage to look Alistair in the eye. She asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Alistair had sensed something was wrong with Audrey's emotions from the beginning.

Hearing her take the initiative to ask, he knew that she had most likely guessed his identity.

Initially, he did not want to continue hiding it. Today was the perfect time to confess...

Alistair was about to explain when the sudden ringtone of the phone broke the short silence.

He took out his phone and looked at it. It was a call from his residence in Willowdale, and he had to answer it.

However, he still asked Audrey for her opinion. "I'll take this call first, okay?"

Afraid of delaying his business, Audrey did not stop him.

Alistair stood up and walked to the window to answer the call.

After the call connected, Evelyn's anxious voice immediately came from the phone. "Alistair, Sunny's condition isn't good."

Hearing the trembling in his mother's voice, Alistair's heart was also in his throat. "What happened to Sunny?"

Audrey suddenly looked at him, thinking, 'Sunny... Is it his son? Did something happen to the child?'

Evelyn sighed and said in a tired and hoarse voice, "I don't know what happened to Sunny in school, but he locked himself in his room after he got home. It's been a few hours now. No matter who called, he wouldn't answer. "We're afraid of provoking him, so we don't dare to break in rashly."

Sunny not only had autism but also had stress mania.noveldrama

As long as the sound was too sharp, it would agitate him.

Alistair frowned. "What about the surveillance cameras in the room?"

At the very least, he could see if the child had any self-harm behavior in the room.

Evelyn said awkwardly, "I don't know when the surveillance camera broke. It was all black when I opened it just now. Maybe Sunny turned it off himself. Alistair, you should come back."

"Alright, I'll rush back immediately."

After hanging up, Alistair turned to look at Audrey.

Although he did not say anything, Audrey saw the dilemma in his eyes.

The matter between them could not be explained in a few words.

Audrey smiled at him and said gently, "Go back first. I'll wait for you to come back."

She hoped that he would no longer hide anything when the time came.

Alistair felt at ease when he heard she would wait for him to return.

At least Audrey did not sentence him to death for his deception.

Just as he felt relieved, he heard Audrey say, "Do you need me to go back with you?"

Alistair's heart trembled slightly.

Of course, he wanted to bring Audrey back with him. After meeting his family, he would give her no chance to back out.

However, in the end, his rationality overcame his selfishness. He shook his head and said, "There's no need. Sunny gets agitated and easily hurts the people around him every time his illness acts up. I'll bring you back next time." Audrey understood how dangerous it was when children's autism acted up, so she did not force it.

Alistair was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took a step forward and hugged Audrey.

He said, "Audrey, I'll settle things over there as soon as possible and come to explain it to you."

He stroked her head and reminded her, "Don't let your thoughts run wild during this period. Eat well and take good care of yourself. Wait for me to come back."

"Okay." Audrey nodded gently in his arms. Hearing Alistair's concerned words and sensing his concern about her, Audrey felt her frustrated and disappointed feelings eased.

However, as soon as Alistair left, she felt empty. She felt as if a part of her heart had also been emptied.

Not wanting to be alone, she returned to the banquet hall again.

Seeing her come down alone, although the others were a little curious, they wanted to seize the opportunity to please her even more.

The CEO of Salman Group even forced his daughter, Jacqueline, to apologize to Audrey.

"Ms. Rhodes, I heard my stupid daughter offended you when she entered the venue. I've already taught her a lesson and asked her to come over and apologize to you. You're magnanimous, so don't lower yourself to her level." Forced by her father, although unwilling, Jacqueline still said, "Audrey, I'm sorry."

Audrey looked at her coldly without any emotions.

Byron Salman was still trying to get close to her. He smiled and said, "Ms. Rhodes, this is considered burying the hatchet. I even hugged you when you were young..."

Audrey said calmly, "I'm sorry, I still have something on. Excuse me."

She had just gotten rid of Byron when she turned around and met more people who took the initiative to befriend her.

Even if she put on airs, these people did not mind and rushed over.

Audrey knew these people were not trying to please her, but the "Mr. Hayes" behind her.

However, at the mention of "Mr. Hayes", she was furious.
