I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Audrey made her final decision and said, “Say more bad things about me in front of Stella to push for my divorce with Terrence. Stella has already caught me cheating, so she will definitely be willing for me and Terrence to divorce.”

“So, you deliberately let Stella know,” Azure realized. “You answered that call in the mall on purpose for me to hear.”

“Yes,” Audrey nodded in acknowledgment.

Azure looked at Audrey, whose face was identical to Meredith’s. It was hard to find any flaw. She had suspected Audrey because of the feeling she gave her, relying on her intuition.

Azure asked the most puzzling question, “Now that Terrence doesn’t suspect you, why don’t you continue pretending? This way, Rowan has a mother, and Terrence won’t be in pain.”

Audrey fell silent. She had considered it at first, but…

Azure guessed, “You fell in love with Terrence and couldn’t get over it, right?”

Who would want to live their whole life as someone else’s substitute?

Women understand women best.

Audrey met Azure’s gaze and said, “He’s too good.”

…

After parting with Audrey, Azure was preoccupied. Gordon was driving and noticed her distraction. He asked, “What did Meredith say to you? You seem unhappy.”

Azure could completely trust Gordon. She hesitated and said, “The person I just met wasn’t Meredith; it was Audrey.”

“Meredith lost her memory and goes by Audrey now. What’s wrong?” Gordon didn’t understand.

“No, she’s Audrey, not Meredith,” Azure said. “The real Meredith is dead. This one is an impostor.”

“An impostor?” Gordon was shocked. He nearly collided with another car but slowed down and drove carefully. “Azure, what’s going on?”

Azure briefly explained the situation and then asked, “Do you think this is believable?”

Gordon also found it absurd. “Azure, are you sure it’s not Meredith trying to cover up her affair? It’s possible she’s infatuated with another man.”

“Now that you mention it, it’s possible,” Azure frowned. “Regardless of whether Audrey is real or fake, Terrence won’t be able to accept it if he finds out. Actually, I hope she’s real.”

“What are you planning to do?” Gordon asked.

Azure shook her head. “This time, I really don’t know what to do. We can keep it a secret for now. If Terrence becomes disillusioned with Meredith and their feelings fade, the hurt might be less severe. Maybe it’s a good thing.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She recalled returning from abroad full of determination to pursue Terrence but gave up when she realized his heart was entirely with Meredith. She wanted wholehearted love and wouldn’t settle for anything less.

But now, she hadn’t expected this situation.

…

Little Lucky was taken to Ravenwood. Terrence wandered outside for a while and returned home late at night.

He deliberately waited until late to come back.

Upon arriving home, his first question to the nanny was, “Has Meredith returned?”

“She’s home,” the nanny replied. “She came back in the afternoon. Miss Rowan was taken to Ravenwood; Madam said she would stay there for a few days.”

“Okay,” Terrence responded softly and went upstairs.

He paused outside Audrey’s room but didn’t knock. He stood there for a while before returning to his bedroom.

Inside the room, Audrey knew Terrence was outside when she heard his footsteps. They were separated by just one door; he didn’t dare enter, and she didn’t dare open it.

She couldn’t face Terrence and just wanted to drag things out until he agreed to divorce.

In the following days, Audrey and Terrence completely gave each other the cold shoulder. They lived under the same roof but had no interaction.

He feared hearing the word ‘divorce’ from Audrey again, and she feared seeing his sorrowful eyes.

Soon enough, it was the eve of Selene’s return banquet. Terrence received an invitation from Selene herself over the phone.

Terrence assured her he would attend.

Meanwhile…

Tomorrow was the return banquet. Mrs. Wilkinson happily brought out Selene’s dress for her to try on.

“Selene, your mom picked one dress for you; your brother chose another one; this white dress was selected by your dad. See which one you like.”
