Chapter 143
“What’s wrong”
you
still feeling unwell!” Alistair asked. Seeing the change in Audrey’s expression made his heart ache,
He naturally wrapped his arms around her waist, his movements a bit awkward as he gently rubbed her
At first, Audrey felt uncomfortable and ined to shrink away, but when Alistair pinched her waist, she immediately settled down.
After being massaged for a while, Audrey actually feli andrinore comfortabile.
“Are you hungry?” Alastair gared at Audrey tenderly, his voice softening Should I have someone firing breakfast in?”
Audrey nodded. Feeling a bit embarrassed to be talking while wrapped in the blanket, she wanted
Lio get up
But Alistair pressed her shoulders down, saying matter–of–factly. “You lie down. I’ll get you breakfast. After your eat, you can sleep a bit more Thur worked hand last might.”
Audrey felt a rush of embarrassment, her toes curling in response.
The phone resting on the bedside table vibrated wildly. Alistair picked it up and glanced at the screen before hanging up without hesitation
The
person on the other end clearly wouldn’t give up. Unable to get through, he resorted to sending a message.
voice message: [Alistair, I know you’ve changed a lot in these past
Alistair intended to silence the phone directly but accidentally opened the latest voice me Two years and no longer regard me highly.
[But Sunny is the only heir of the Hayes family.
- y. Nothing can happen to him. So, you can play around, but I absolutely will not allow an unknown woman to marry into the Hayes family]
Alistair knew how stubborn his father was, so he muted the phone and tossed it aside, n
not wanting to reply at all.
After learning that Alistair was the well–known third son of the Hayes family from Willowdale, Audrey anticipated that she might not receive his family’s blessing-
However, hearing those words from Alistair’s father still stirred some unpleasant feelings within Audrey.
“Alistair’s father cares so much about Sunny. He must vahie Sunny s’mother a lot too. Alistair and she are the couple approved by their parents,” Audrey thought
As she considered this, a pang of sadness welled up inside her. “Where is my place now?”
Audrey had married Alistair and given him her virginity, yet in his father’s eyes, she was merely an unremarkable woman, someone to play with but not to bring back to the Hayes family
Although Audrey had never aspired to cling to power, the feeling of being excluded was never pleasant. As her emotions swirled, Alistair turned to look at her
He was about to explain the voice message when he saw that Audrey’s face was pale, her lips pressed together, and her eyes slightly res, as if she
might cry
Instantly, his heart sank, and he anxiously asked, “You look so unwell. Are you still feeling baik?”
Assuming that he had hurt t her last night, Alistair felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. “I’m sorry, I lost control last night.”
Audrey slowly lifted her gaze to meet Alistairs. He was gazing at her tenderly, his eyes reflecting geamine affection.
Maybe I should trust him just this once,” Audrey thought.
“Alistair” she said, her voice low and serious. “You said you would explain everything when you returned. Can you tell me now??
“Of course,” Alistair a
ereplied without hesitation. “I kept it from you because I was afraid that if you knew my identity, you wouldn’t agree to marry
“I know you’re not the type to seek power or dream of marrying into wealth. You’d prefer to find an ordinary man to share your life with if I hadn’t hidden my identity. I wouldn’t have had the chance to marry you”
Hearing this, Audrey was taken aback. It seemed Alistair had taken the time to learn about her even before their
marriage.
“Why? Could it be that he had a crush on me in the past? This absurd thought crossed her mind but was quickly dismissed.
They had no interaction before. Alistair never had the chance to have a esh on her, and he had been married before.

Alistair, unaware of Audrey’s thoughts, said seriously. “Audrey, you can be angry with me and even punish me, but please… don’t mention divorce…
Audrey’s heart raced at those words. “I can forgive you for hiding your identity, but I need to confirm one thing
Alistair felt a surge of happiness, his eyes lighting up.
Audrey took a deep breath, asking with utmost seriousness, “Is there someone else in your heart?”
