My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon by Lydia Pierce

Chapter 280

Jessica knew what Audrey was worried about and chuckled, "Your dad's been a driver for ages. It's what he knows, but don't fret. He looks after himself and gets plenty of rest. If the job ever gets too grueling, he's not above calling it quits."

"That's good." Audrey didn't push further.

As they talked about these family matters, Audrey felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

The aroma of the steaks simmering in the pot filled the kitchen as Audrey picked through vegetables. Thinking about the bruises on Miles's face, she cautiously asked, "What happened to Miles's injuries? Is someone at school picking on him?" Bringing this up, Jessica couldn't help but sigh, "Is that what he told you?"

Audrey shook her head. "No, he said he fell, but those bruises look more like someone hit him. I'm afraid he's being picked on at school and keeps it to himself, not wanting to cause us any distress."

Jessica chuckled, "He's just too embarrassed to tell you."

Audrey raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm the one who gave him those bruises..." Jessica sighed and explained the whole situation to Audrey.
