Chapter 712: Audrey’s Betrayal?
“I miss you…” Such words were very ambiguous.
Azure was immediately puzzled. Who was Audrey calling?
“Meredith,” Azure deliberately called out.
Audrey’s expression turned panicked, and she quickly hung up the phone.
Azure pretended to ask, “Who were you calling?”
“It was a sales call, a wrong number,” Audrey lied to cover up. “How about we grab a coffee? We’ve been shopping for a while and it’s tiring.”
Audrey’s words made Azure even more suspicious. She had heard clearly, and from Audrey’s expression, it didn’t seem like a wrong number. There was only one possibility: Audrey was lying. Could it be that Audrey had changed her heart?
Earlier, Audrey had said that Terrence’s love was suffocating. Was this the reason for the change?
The Audrey in front of her was Meredith with amnesia, not remembering her past with Terrence. With Terrence being so overprotective now, it was easy to cause resentment.
Thinking of this, Azure said, “You haven’t bought any clothes yet; aren’t we going to shop more?”
“Let’s have a coffee first and look around later,” Audrey said with a smile. “I saw a coffee shop on the third floor.”
“Alright,” Azure agreed, wanting to use the opportunity to probe Audrey’s feelings towards Terrence.
They went to the coffee shop, but Audrey didn’t order coffee, only a juice.
Azure asked, “Not having coffee?”
“The doctor advised against it; juice is fine for me,” Audrey replied. “Terrence mentioned you’re performing again soon.”
“Yes, I’ll be leaving next week and might not be back for half a month,” Azure said with a smile. “If you’re free, why not come along for a trip?”
“Terrence wouldn’t agree,” Audrey said with a hint of frustration in her expression when she mentioned Terrence.
Azure asked, “Meredith, it’s been so long. Haven’t you remembered anything? Such a perfect man-even if you can’t recall the past, falling in love again shouldn’t be hard.”
“He’s a good person,” Audrey said, holding her juice cup with both hands. “Azure, we’re both women. I don’t have friends in Auroraville except you to talk to. Sometimes I have bits of memory, but they’re not enough to make me feel anything for him.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“You don’t like him?” Azure was surprised. “Then in the past six months…”
“We’ve been sleeping in separate rooms. I can’t sleep in the same bed with someone I’m not familiar with. I’ve tried to accept it, but at critical moments, I just can’t,” Audrey said with distress. “I wish I wasn’t Meredith.”
Azure was stunned to hear that Audrey couldn’t accept Terrence. After more than six months, they were still sleeping separately.
Azure was so shocked she didn’t know what to say. That was Terrence!
“He would become a monk for you and even risk his life; you two have a daughter named Rowan. How could it be like this?”
Audrey squeezed her hands together. “What he has done is very touching; that’s why I stayed. Azure, don’t tell Terrence about this; I’m just chatting with you casually.”
“Okay.” Azure couldn’t calm down for a long time.
They drank their coffee and shopped a bit more. Azure noticed several times that Audrey was playing on her phone, chatting with someone.
Her intuition told her that this person was definitely not Terrence.
While they were still shopping, Audrey suddenly said she had something to do and needed to leave first.
Azure didn’t stop her and offered to drive Audrey home.
Audrey insisted on taking a cab herself.
Afterward, Audrey left first, and Azure followed her out of curiosity. She saw Audrey get into a black SUV by the roadside.
Azure drove after them for about ten minutes until she saw Audrey arrive at a hotel. The car stopped in the hotel’s parking lot. Audrey got out of the car, and a man stepped out from the driver’s seat. They walked into the hotel arm-in-arm intimately.
Azure’s heart skipped a beat. Was Audrey going to betray Terrence?
Should she tell Terrence?
If it turned out to be a misunderstanding and caused trouble, Terrence might not be able to handle it.
Having already experienced losing Meredith once, Terrence had completely changed and centered his life around his wife.
In the end, Azure decided not to tell Terrence.
Back home, Azure was preoccupied with thoughts of seeing Audrey enter the hotel with another man.
