Chapter 434

Audrey’s POV

“A bride being arrested at her own wedding – that’s something you don’t see every day,” Henry remarked, watching the chaos unfold.

He sipped his wine, glancing at me. “She mentioned you before they took her away. Aren’t you going to check on her?”

He set down his glass with a faint smile. “You were close friends once, weren’t you?”

I frowned slightly. “Astrid is my only real friend now.”

I glanced toward where Astrid sat beside Ryan Quinn. Despite their physical proximity, her body language clearly rejected him. Whatever was happening between them, there was no genuine connection.

‘Did you do something to upset Astrid?” I asked Henry.

His gaze hardened. “Perhaps this is who she really is.”

I rubbed my aching temple, frustration building inside me.

All evening, I’d alternated between watching the Parker family drama and trying to explain Astrid’s feelings to Henry. I knew it wasn’t my place to interfere, but as her best friend, I couldn’t stand seeing her genuine feelings misunderstood as some calculated attempt to get close to him.

Yet Henry seemed determined not to believe that Astrid had truly cared for him.

I took a deep breath, lowering my voice. “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing more I can say..

“But don’t come to regret it later,” I warned. “Her feelings aren’t endless. Once she’s completely disappointed in you, you won’t win her back even if you

tried.”

Henry raised an eyebrow, studying me with sudden interest. “Like Blake is with you?”

Caught off guard by the shift in topic, I froze momentarily.

After a pause, I frowned and nodded. “Something like that.”

“When I gave Blake everything, he didn’t value it,” I said. “Now that I’m supposedly dead, what good are his regret and guilt?*

As I spoke, I looked toward the stage where Blake sat. “It doesn’t matter if he – ‘

My words died as I met Blake’s intense gaze. He was staring directly at me!

I swallowed hard, stunned into silence.
