Chapter 268

Audrey’s POV

The car stopped, and I looked through the window at Lunar Mansion. Weeds had overrun the garden, making it clear nobody had touched it for at least a month.

“You want me to hide here?” I asked, still holding Snow against my chest.

Blake got out and opened my door. “Nobody would think you’d return to our old house after the divorce. It’s the safest option.

His eyes softened when he looked at Snow. “Plus, Snow knows this place. He won’t run off.”

I hesitated before stepping out. As much as I hated to admit it, Blake was right. This was probably the best place to hide. Not only was Snow familiar with it, but I knew every corner too. If I needed to escape later, at least I’d know my way around.

The moment we stepped inside, Snow squirmed free and raced across the living room, rediscovering his old territory with excited

meows.

“You can see how much he’s missed this place,” Blake said, watching Snow dart under furniture. Then he turned to me. “That apartment couldn’t have been good for either of you.”

“Now that you’re back, don’t leave again. We can remarry in a few months.”

I laughed. “Aren’t you engaged to Laurel?”

“Laurel and I won’t end up together.”

“Really? You two seem perfect for each other.” I crossed my arms. Or maybe you both just enjoy cheating.”

“It’s not what you think,” Blake said, his face hardening. “And I never cheated on you.”

Snow darted under the sofa, then backed out dragging something in his mouth.
