Chapter 95
On the way back to the hall, Alistair remained silent.
Audrey was also a little flustered. After some hesitation, she gently shook his arm and said, "Don't be angry, okay? I don't like him anymore."
Her eyes were sparkling, and her voice was sweet. She was acting coquettishly like a seductive demon without herself knowing it.
Alistair's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he asked, "Who do you not like?"
Audrey tilted slightly and said playfully, "Dominic, of course. I promise to stay far away from him in the future. Next time, don't believe whatever he says. Just listen to me." "Listen to you?" Alistair raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Audrey's expression was sincere as she slowly promised, "I am your wife. As long as you don't abandon me, I will never leave you. Other than you, no one can affect my determination." Alistair's heart, which was already beating fast because of her coquettishness, seemed to have been stirred up by a huge wave at that moment.
He looked at the charming girl with a bright smile beside him and finally couldn't help but pull her into his arms.
His embrace gradually tightened, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones and blood.
Audrey felt pain in her waist but did not retreat. Instead, she raised her hand and hugged his lean waist.
Sensing his trembling, she patted him on his back like coaxing a child.
Alistair hugged her even tighter.
Audrey felt slight pain from being hugged, and a hint of hesitation surfaced in her heart. 'What is going on with him? Why is he still so uneasy?' Audrey did not know how to comfort him. She could only let him hug her silently.
But gradually, she felt that she was almost suffocating from the strangulation, so she could only gently push his chest.
Alistair suddenly came back to his senses and let go of her. For the first time, he asked nervously, "I'm sorry. Did I hug you too tightly?"
"No." Audrey smiled and shook her head.
Alistair did not believe that. His eyes were filled with guilt.
He wondered why he always couldn't control himself in front of her.
Audrey's heart ached. She could not help but raise her hand to stroke the creases between his brows. She said gently, "I'm fine, Alistair. You don't have to be so careful.
"I'm not a porcelain doll. I won't break because of a hug. But don't hug me for so long next time. It's awkward if others see us."
Alistair came back to his senses. He held her hand and kissed her tender fingertips. "I promise that in the future, with me around, I will never let you get hurt again." He did not mind her past with Dominic, but his heart ached for her.
He would also help her take revenge for all the grievances she had suffered in the past.
Alistair's handsome face was filled with tenderness and love, and his affectionate words were filled with love.
Audrey's heart beat uncontrollably. A wave of heat spread from her fingertips that he had kissed, staining her face red.
She had always been strong-willed. Even if she got injured, she would never reveal her emotions and would not show weakness to anyone.
She knew showing weakness would only make those who hurt her feel better.
She knew no one would feel sorry for her.
No one had told her that they would never let her feel pain again...
However, Alistair, whom she had only known for a week, gave her a sense of security.
When she saw Alistair's affectionate watery eyes, Audrey could no longer control herself.
She stood on her tiptoes and hooked her arms around his neck, taking the initiative to kiss him.
Buzz!
Alistair's mind seemed to have exploded with fireworks.
He was stunned for a second before he grabbed Audrey's waist and took the initiative.
Audrey wanted to kiss him lightly and retreat, but Alistair took the initiative and kissed her until she could not breathe.
Footsteps could be heard nearby.
Audrey's fingers on Alistair's suit curled up nervously and grabbed a layer of creases.
Alistair rubbed the back of her waist comfortingly, trapping her completely between his chest and the wall so that no one could see her.
Even if he could not see who it was, Dominic, who was walking over, could tell at a glance that it was Audrey.
He and Audrey had been in a relationship for three years, but she had never taken the initiative to kiss him.
However, she had only known Alistair for a few days, but they were already so intimate in public... Dominic felt so jealous that he was about to vomit blood. His unwillingness almost drowned him.
Just as he was about to walk toward the two of them, his phone rang.
After he picked up the call, Dominic heard his assistant's panicked voice. "Mr. Hayes, something happened to the company."
