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

Chapter 312

Knowing that she might have overstepped with her previous actions, she took the initiative to kiss the corner of his mouth. This should have been discussed earlier, not dropped on him at the last minute. Alistair's face was tense, his green, deep-set eyes exuding a brooding aura, making it hard to understand his emotions.

Audrey was uncertain, her voice softer. "I don't want to rely on a child to make your family accept me. We're still young, so why not wait a couple of years?"

In this situation, Alistair couldn't bear to tell her "no".

He held her close, kissing her softly. Though reluctant, he could only agree.

A night of indulgence. The next morning, Audrey woke up with the sun already high in the sky.

Getting up, she noticed the mess in the trash can, and her cheeks flushed red again.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a few days, but Alistair was especially rough last night.

In the end, she passed out on the window seat, her eyes red and swollen, and her knees scraped.

Before she fell asleep, she vaguely remembered him carrying her to the bathroom, bathing her, and then placing a warm towel on her eyes.

So her body wasn't too uncomfortable, just terribly drained, with no energy to move.

Alistair had already gone to work, but not before making her some porridge and keeping it warm in the cooker.

After eating, Audrey went to check on Sunny.
