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

Suddenly, Dominic grabbed the pillow from the hospital bed and threw it at her with great force.

Zephyra didn't move; she just looked at him, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Dominic took a deep breath, still feeling dissatisfied, he added, "Since you don't want to help me, then don't go looking for Audrey. If I find out you're secretly threatening her again to leave me, I won't let you get away with it!" Zephyra shouted furiously, "Dominic, I am your mother! How can you speak to me like that?"

Dominic shrugged indifferently and said confidently, "I'm just reminding you not to make mistakes, Mom. You owe me this. You all are the ones who pushed Audrey away from me!"noveldrama

Zephyra felt a tightness in her chest, wanting to ignore him but afraid he would truly lose it and offend Alistair. She thought, 'If that happens, our family will be ruined!'

She could only gather her patience and say, "Dominic, listen to me. Audrey's husband isn't a gigolo; he's someone we can't afford to offend..."

"I don't want to hear it!" Dominic suddenly covered his ears and shouted. "Get out! Don't mention that man in front of me!"

Before Zephyra could finish her sentence, Dominic had already forced her out of the hospital room.

After getting home, Audrey spent a long time trying to coax Sunny to sleep.

Late at night, lying on the empty bed, she couldn't help but think about what happened during the day.

Although she knew that she and Alistair were worlds apart and shouldn't be together. She kept trying to bridge the gap between them ever since she found out about Alistair's status. Hearing Alistair's father say he didn't approve of her was somewhat heartbreaking.

But she wasn't the type to back down easily. Since she decided to spend her life well, she would never give up easily.

Francis's disapproval was just because he thought she wasn't a match for Alistair.

Not long ago, she was thinking about leaving Supergalactic Idol to focus entirely on her company. But now, her fighting spirit was completely ignited.

She wanted to prove through this

show that even with a humble background, she could still stand proudly on stage. She could still become the center of attention! One day, she would be worthy of

Stair.

Thinking about all these things, she gradually fell asleep, feeling drowsy and hazy.

In the still of the night, a man quietly entered, bathed in moonlight.

In the dim light from the window, he tucked Audrey in and stood by the bed, gazing at her for a long time, unwilling to leave.

Audrey, deep in sleep, wasn't aware but seemed restless, her brows furrowed.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Alistair's eyes as he leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on her brow.

He planned to comfort her, but Audrey, who wasn't deeply asleep, instantly became alert and instinctively slapped him. The sharp sound broke the stillness of the night.

Audrey's whole body went tense. Just as she was about to cry out, she noticed the familiar pine scent.

In the darkness, the man leaned in close and placed an arm around her shoulder, and the subtle pine aroma surrounded her immediately.

Audrey's heart was still beating a bit

fast. She slowly raised her hand, felt the man's short rough hair, gently traced his facial features, and asked hesitantly, "Ali...Alistair?"

"Yes, I'm here." Alistair's voice was deep and rich, with a soft magnetism.

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, nestled into his embrace, her voice sleepy and gentle. "When did you come back? Why didn't you turn on the light? You gave me a scare."
