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

After the recording of the show, Audrey looked at the Harper family and Francis sitting in the audience, suddenly realizing something.

'Why are they sitting together? Did Alistair arrange this in advance? Does he want to give me a surprise? But I'm not ready for both parents to meet yet,' Audrey thought.

It was ironic that she and Alistair had already been married, yet their parents hadn't even shared a meal or met each other at all.

Although meeting here seemed a bit out of place, Audrey figured that the two families would have to meet eventually. So, she didn't hesitate and headed straight for the first row of the audience.

By the time she arrived, most of the audience had already dispersed. The only ones left in the front row were the six members from the Hayes and Harper families.

Evelyn planned to wait until everyone left before approaching Audrey, in case anyone recognized her and caused trouble for Audrey.

Meanwhile, the Harper family decided to wait until everyone had left as well. They didn't want to risk running into anyone on the way out who might say something bad about Audrey, as they were afraid they might end up fighting on her behalf.

So, both families stayed behind, each wondering why the other hadn't left yet.

When they saw Audrey approach, both the Hayes and Harper families became somewhat tense, afraid that the other might notice their relationship with Audrey.noveldrama

Sunny had originally wanted to rush over and hug Audrey, but he remembered Evelyn had repeatedly warned him not to call Audrey "Mom" in public, as it might be used against her by those with ill intentions. So, he held back.

The two families stood there, awkwardly looking at each other, neither daring to approach Audrey first. Instead, they were all frantically signaling to her, trying to tell her not to come over with so many outsiders still around.

But the next moment, Audrey was already standing in front of them, and she called out, "Mom, Dad, you're here too."

Both sets of parents froze, unsure whether they should respond.

Francis and Evelyn both looked a little emotional.

Audrey had never called them "Mom" and "Dad" before, and although they didn't say anything, they couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Now that she finally addressed them like this, it seemed impolite not to respond. They were afraid that if Audrey misunderstood they didn't accept her, it would make things even worse.

Meanwhile, Peter and Jessica were thinking that since their daughter wasn't afraid to acknowledge them in front of others despite their status and jobs, they certainly couldn't let her feel neglected.

After a brief silence, both sets of parents responded at the same time.

"Yes, we came to see you." The four of them almost spoke in unison, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward again.

Francis and Evelyn both turned to look at Peter and Jessica, their eyes filled with suspicion. 'Are they here to take away our daughter-in-law?' they wondered.

Peter and Jessica were also watching the elegant, wealthy couple, their eyes equally unfriendly. 'Are they here to take our daughter?' they wondered.

Seeing their reactions, Audrey quickly realized she had misunderstood. The reason both families were sitting together wasn't because Alistair had arranged it. It was purely a coincidence.

The two families sat in the audience, exchanging confused glances.

At this moment, Jessica spotted Sunny standing next to Francis and Evelyn, and she exclaimed in

surprise, "Oh, isn't this Sunny? You're here too." She smiled warmly and gently touched Sunny's head

Seeing that Sunny didn't mind her closeness, Francis widened his eyes in shock,

a trace of envy flashing across his gaze.

When Jessica saw Sunny, she immediately realized that the elegant couple in

married for quite a while, but this was the first time the two families met. Jessica felt a bit awkward and rubbed her nose, saying, "You must be Alistair's parents. I'm Audrey's

Hearing this, Evelyn came to a sudden realization. 'Turns out they are not here to

take away my daughter-in-law. They are Audrey's family,' she thought.

She quickly took Jessica's hand with a bright smile and said, "I've always wondered how Audrey could be so beautiful. It turns out her mother is a real beauty. Audrey really takes after you."

Jessica smiled bashfully.

Evelyn continued, "I'm really sorry, Ma'am. We've been wanting to visit you for a while, but we kept waiting for the right time, so we kept putting it off. It's our fault. Please don't mind."

Jessica had never met someone so warm and enthusiastic before and felt a bit overwhelmed. She awkwardly responded, "Never mind."

Seeing the two mothers exchanging awkward pleasantries, Audrey couldn't help but stifle a laugh. Just as she was about to suggest they move to another spot to continue

chatting, Jessica's phone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call," Jessica said.

The group kept a polite distance from Jessica as she answered the phone.

Audrey was curious about who was calling, but she soon heard Jessica exclaim in shock, "What? Miles got into a fight at school?"
