Chapter 246
Audrey looked completely confused and shook her head honestly.
She had never paid attention to what was on the balcony.
Alistair looked at her deeply and said, “Audrey, these flowers are not as valuable as you imagined. Even if they were worth millions, as my wife, you totally deserve them with no worries.”
She was his wife. Forget about material things, he would even give his life to her if she wanted.”
As Audrey looked at Alistair’s serious and sincere manner, her heart grew increasingly heavy.
She knew he was sincere, but the more genuine he was, the more anxious she felt, even a bit resistant.
Even though they were married, she didn’t want to become anyone’s mere appendage.
After a moment of thought, Audrey turned serious and said, “Alistair, there’s something we need to talk about seriously.”
Seeing her seriousness, Alistair became more serious as well. “Alright. Go ahead.”
Audrey nervously pressed her lips together and spoke up, her voice soft yet full of determination.
She said, “I know you have plenty of money and are never hesitant to spend it on me, but I don’t want to be a pampered bird in a cage, nor do I want to be labeled as Mrs. someone.
“Even if we get married, I still want to put myself first. You might call me selfish, but I really can’t compromise or change that.”
After that, neither of them spoke as they looked at each other for a long moment.
Audrey couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy inside.
Alistair always thought about her needs and cleared obstacles for her, yet she only thought about herself. Audrey thought he must have been really disappointed in her.
However, she couldn’t worry about all that right now, because she truly didn’t want to lose herself in the relationship.
Alistair gazed at her for a long time and said with his voice rough and low, “Audrey, are you afraid of becoming another Fiona, or do you think I’m like Albert, not worthy of trust?”
Honestly, Alistair felt a bit uneasy inside.
He didn’t mind Audrey seeking her own path, nor did he demand that she completely rely on him in their relationship.
Nevertheless, he felt she didn’t trust him or understand him.
“You’ve
this?”
Audrey explained earnestly. “How could I compare you to Albert? It’s just that… well, how do I say
Audrey looked into Alistair’s deep eyes, carefully considering her words, and then said, “I just feel that there’s too much of a -gap between us. I’m afraid of losing myself under your overly protective care.”
She continued, “I’ve seen many women, who were once brilliant and shone brightly in their own fields, quickly return home to be housewives and mothers after marriage, becoming just appendages to men.
“Alistair, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just don’t want to become one of them.”

Chapter 246
A flash of pain appeared in Alistair’s eyes. He wanted to say so much, but he was at a loss for words.
Audrey had to continue, “I know you bought shares in Rhodes Enterprises and gave me flowers to make me happy.
“But I’m scared that I’ll start taking you anymore, I’ll blame and resent you.”
kindness for granted. I’m even more afraid that if one day you can’t do this
Her sincere confession completely melted Alistair’s heart.
He raised his hand and to Audrey’s surprise, pulled her into his warm embrace.
Audrey’s eyes widened slightly. She blinked as she leaned dazedly against his broad shoulder.
She wondered, ‘Wasn’t he angry? Why does he suddenly hug me Has his anger already gone?‘
Alistair said, “Audrey, I’m really happy.”
Hearing his deep voice, Audrey felt even more confused.

Holding her close, Alistair softly said, “What I love is you who shines brightly and do what you love with your own thoughts and brilliance.”
His deep voice had a captivating power as he said, “You don’t have to change anything for me. Everything I do for you is done willingly and eagerly.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll ask for your opinion before doing anything in the future, so there won’t be any pressure on you Audrey’s pupils trembled, and her eyes welled up with emotion.
