My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

When they got home, it was already past ten. After changing into their house slippers, Audrey couldn't help but remember last night, when she had drunkenly insisted on sleeping next to Alistair. A wave of shyness washed over her, and Audrey couldn't bring herself to look at him.

On the other hand, Alistair seemed unfazed, saying softly, "It's late. You should get some rest."

Audrey opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out; her face was already flushed. Last night was an accident. Honestly, Audrey wasn't ready to share a bed with Alistair yet.

Audrey thought, 'How could I tell him I want to sleep separately?

'Not long ago, I told him that I wanted to settle down and live a good life, but as soon as I got home, I changed my mind. Will Alistair think I'm insincere?'

At that moment, Audrey was filled with inner turmoil and confusion, gripping the throw pillow on the couch until her fingers nearly twisted it out of shape.

After Alistair put the leftovers in the fridge, he came out to see her sitting on the couch stiffly, lost in thought. He understood immediately.noveldrama

'Is she struggling again? It seems I have a long way to go before she accepts me fully. Well, she's my wife now; there's no need to push her too hard. There will be plenty of time later,' Alistair thought.

Thinking this, Alistair poured Audrey a cup of milk and said gently, "Here, drink some milk. I still have work to finish and will need to stay late at the office. I'll sleep in the guest room tonight so I don't disturb your rest."

Hearing this, Audrey felt a mix of concern for Alistair's workload and a sense of relief. She took a sip of the milk, feeling it warm her heart, and her expression softened.

With genuine concern, Audrey said, "Make sure you get enough rest tonight. If you can't finish your work, just push it back. If it gets too overwhelming, maybe consider changing jobs. Don't wear yourself out! I can help with supporting the family; don't put so much pressure on yourself!"

"Alright, I get it. Thanks for caring, sweetie," Alistair replied with a gentle smile, ruffling her hair as he turned to leave.

It wasn't until Alistair entered his study that Audrey came back to her senses, touching her head. 'Why does it feel like Alistair treats me like a child? He seems to love ruffling my hair,' she thought.

After finishing the milk, Audrey stood up and headed to the bedroom. Once inside, she noticed some changes in the master bedroom quickly.

Her suitcase had been moved from the guest room, and half of the space in the open wardrobe was cleared out, now with a vanity added.

On the vanity sat her favorite skincare and makeup products. It was obvious who had prepared these things.

Thinking of the spread of her favorite dishes at dinner, along with these cosmetics, Audrey couldn't help but feel suspicious. She wondered, 'Is this all just a coincidence?'

Audrey's skincare products weren't mainstream brands, yet they had somehow bought the right ones.

As Audrey pondered this, her phone on the vanity suddenly buzzed repeatedly. She picked it up and saw a flood of messages from her fans on her Tik Tok account urging her to post updates. [Why hasn't the blogger updated yet... Didn't she take a two-day wedding leave? It's already the third day!]

[I miss the blogger's content. I haven't eaten well in three days without her emotional commentary; It feels like my romantic impulses are kicking back in. Come back soon!]

Audrey slapped her forehead and thought, 'Oh no, I'm too busy to forget I promised the fans a livestream after my wedding!'
