I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Azure knew that Audrey was not Meredith, but she wasn’t sure if Grandma Sterling and the others knew. Grandma Sterling sighed, “Terry knows Meredith has passed away; he couldn’t handle the shock.”

“Terrence knows?” Azure was surprised. “You all know too?”

Harvey was also surprised, “Azure, you knew all along?”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Azure was probably the first to know. “Yes, Audrey told me earlier,” Azure said. “I was worried Terrence couldn’t handle it, so I didn’t dare tell him. How did he find out?”

“You can’t hide the truth forever,” Harvey said. “Audrey fell and was hospitalized; it couldn’t be hidden anymore.”

“Then Terrence just left…” Azure immediately became worried. “Could he be in danger or thinking of doing something drastic?”

Selene said, “He probably went to the cemetery to see Meredith.”

Grandma Sterling quickly said, “Harvey, go to the cemetery and watch him. Don’t let him do anything foolish.”

“Okay, Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll go right now and make sure nothing happens to him.”

Harvey and Selene left together.

Azure took Grandma Sterling back to the hotel. Audrey was in the hospital, Pete and Spencer were there keeping watch, so Grandma Sterling felt it was inappropriate to stay at the Flack family residence.

Azure brought the old lady back to the hotel. Little Lucky hadn’t slept yet; she had just eaten something and was reading a book.

Little Lucky used a talking book to learn poetry, numbers, and literacy.

Stella noticed that Grandma Sterling looked upset and that Azure had returned so quickly. She asked, “What happened? Where’s Terry? Didn’t he come back with you?”

Hearing Terrence’s name, Little Lucky looked up from her book. “Great-grandma, where’s Daddy? Didn’t he come back?”

Seeing the adorable Little Lucky brought tears to Grandma Sterling’s eyes, but she forced a smile and said, “Your daddy is busy with something. He’ll come find you once he’s done. Rowan, you’re doing great with your reading.”

Little Lucky smiled brightly. She said, “Daddy says I’m the smartest baby.”

“Yes, Rowan is the smartest,” Grandma Sterling said lovingly.

Grandma Sterling then gave Azure a look, signaling her to take Rowan to another room as she had something to discuss with Stella.

Azure understood and smiled. “Rowan, would you like to come to the room with me? I’ll teach you some words and quiz you.”

“Sure!” Little Lucky picked up her talking book and followed Azure into the room.

Grandma Sterling sat down on the couch in the living room and said to Stella, “Sit down; I have something to tell you so you can be prepared.”

Seeing Grandma Sterling so serious made Stella feel that something major had happened. She sat down and asked, “Mom, did something big happen? Is Meredith really going to divorce Terry?”

“If it were just a divorce, that would be easier,” Grandma Sterling sighed again. “Meredith is dead.”

“What? Dead again?” Stella reacted strongly.

Grandma Sterling: “…”

It was supposed to be a sad matter, but Stella’s reaction made it awkwardly funny.

Grandma Sterling explained, “Not dead again; she’s been dead all along. Meredith didn’t survive that shipwreck; who came back was…”

“A ghost?” Stella interrupted herself with her own scare. “No wonder Meredith has been acting strange for months and even betrayed Terry.”

Sometimes Grandma Sterling didn’t know whether to feel comforted by Stella’s personality.

Grandma Sterling closed her eyes for a moment before saying, “It’s a person but not Meredith; it’s Audrey.”

“Mom, what are you saying? I’m confused.” Stella’s brain clearly couldn’t keep up.

“The current Meredith is actually Audrey after plastic surgery,” Grandma Sterling explained simply. “Now Terry knows the truth; it can’t be hidden anymore. Terry went to the cemetery to see Meredith…”

The old lady explained everything in detail until Stella finally understood.

After learning the truth, Stella was stunned for a long time. She didn’t know what to say; how could things turn out this way?

Her granddaughter no longer had a mother.

Meredith didn’t survive and return; she had misunderstood Meredith all along.
