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

Peter and Jessica initially thought Alistair was just living off Audrey. They accepted him because he took good care of Audrey and willingly did household chores.

After watching the show today, they discovered he was a popular idol, almost becoming a big star. Moreover, his parents appeared very dignified, certainly not from an ordinary family.

Audrey was a bit surprised. She asked, "Dad, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Peter didn't use to care about this at all, and he never asked about Alistair's family. He sighed and said, "When we took your mom to the hospital today, Alistair's dad made a phone call, and the director himself came over.

"And that director called his dad something like Mr. Hayes." He paused momentarily and, with concern in his voice, said, "Audrey, we always thought you married into an ordinary family.

"We never wanted more as long as you were happy. But now it seems Alistair's family is quite outstanding. Will they look down on you?"

Jessica and Peter led a simple life, with their only regret being about Audrey, who was accidentally swapped at birth. They didn't hope to climb the social ladder through Audrey's marriage but wanted her to live without worries.

Alistair's prominent family background made them anxious, fearing Audrey might face hardships after marriage and not dare speak up.

Audrey sensed the unspoken worry in Peter's words and felt deeply touched. Her eyes became misty, and she softly said, "Dad, don't worry. Alistair's family background is indeed exceptional, but I'm marrying him, not his family.

"I won't allow myself to be mistreated."

Peter still felt a bit uneasy and sighed, saying, "Audrey, don't hesitate. If they ever dare to bully you, just divorce him and come back home. As I've always said, your mom and I can still support you."

Audrey chuckled lightly and replied, "I understand. Thank you, Dad." After finishing the call, she walked out of Talaris High School.

Alistair was leaning against the car, quietly waiting for Audrey. As soon as Audrey came out, Alistair took several steps forward and opened his arms wide.

Seeing the gentle expression on Alistair's face, Audrey felt a mix of emotions inside her. She stepped forward and hugged him, snuggling into his warm, broad chest. But her face had no joy, only a hint of sadness.noveldrama

Audrey used to think she was strong and independent enough to maintain her relationship with Alistair without any outside complications.

But after what happened today, she realized that no matter how hard she tried, the gap between her and

Alistair was there from the start net

Fortunately, Alistair had always been determined to bridge that gap to reach her.

Now, they were already inseparable; no matter how she tried to separate them, she couldn't. And if she ever thought she wasn't good enough for Alistain which would mean undervaluing all his efforts and dedication over time.

With this thought, Audrey had a newfound clarity. She was no longer conflicted but instead smiled warmly. She took Alistair's hand firmly and said, "Honey, let's go home."

Alistair looked at Audrey carefully, making sure she didn't seem upset before he felt relieved. He didn't ask anything, he took off his jacket, draped it over her shoulders, and wrapped his arm around her waist as they got into the car.

Audrey was really tired and soon fell into a deep sleep after getting in the car.

Seeing her asleep, Alistair gently patted the seat in front and softly said, "Drive a little slower."

The driver nodded silently, slowed down, and raised the partition to avoid disturbing them.

In the glow of the passing streetlights outside the window, Alistair gently gazed at the sleeping Audrey.

For a moment, the car was filled with a warm silence.
