NovelEnglishAlistair's muscles tensed up all over his body, his voice hoarse. "Okay."
Audrey readily wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him like a koala. Completely oblivious to any
embarrassment or shyness, she didn't have the mind to dwell on how intimate and ambiguous their position
was. Alistair remained steady while carrying her up several flights of stairs.
"Are you... tired?" Hearing his slightly heavy breathing, Audrey, who had just regained her composure, gently
asked.
"Not at all. You're very light," Alistair rumbled in response.
Audrey blushed slightly and gently pressed her face against his chest. She actually wanted Alistair to put her
down. But fearing another encounter with rats, she could only muster the courage to say, "Thank you." Listening
to the soft, cooing voice of Audrey in his arms, Alistair felt his bitterness and resentment instantly vanish.
'Why be jealous? No matter what the guy's intentions toward Audrey were, Audrey's rejection was already quite
clear. And the person who can make her let go of her stubbornness and rely on is onlyat present. That's
enough," he murmured inwardly. Until she stepped into the house, Audrey's legs were still weak. If it weren't for
Alistair still holding her waist, she probably would have slumped down right there.
Alistair helped her sit on a small stool at the entrance. He took out slippers and then squatted down in front of
her, reaching out to hold her slender ankle.
'Is he changing shoes for me?' Audrey wondered, her heart thumping.
The man with an air of pride knelt on one knee in front of her, his long fingers gripping the edge of her high heels
and pulling them off. The scene was like a slow-motion scene from a movie.
A surge of warmth flowed through Audrey's heart, and she instinctively tried to pull her foot back.
But before she could move, Alistair firmly grasped her ankle, his deep, magnetic voice rich and alluring. "Don't

'No one in the world could resist Alistair's gentleness.’ Audrey's breath caught, and by the tshe reacted,
Alistair had already put soft rabbit slippers on her. And that pair of Christian Louboutin high heels was simply
tossed into the trash can. He stayed in a half-squatting position, looking at her and speaking softly. "Okay, you
don't have to be afraid now."
Audrey made no response. Her racing heartbeat seemed capable of deafening her eardrums. Instinctively, she
reached out and grabbed his wrist. Lifting her head slightly, she was met with his chiseled face.
Alistair lowered his gaze slightly, looking down at her with a touch of calculated confusion in his eyes.
Audrey took the initiative to confess, "The guy who just broughtback is Eric Apple. A senior | knew in high
school, who once pursued me."
As soon as she finished, she noticed Alistair's jaw suddenly tighten and quickly added, "But | don't have romantic
feelings for him."
A flash of surprise crossed Alistair's cold eyes.
With just a few words, she filled his heart with subtle sweetness.
"So eager to explain, are you afraid I'll misunderstand?" he asked.
Audrey sat up straight, nodding obediently. "Yep, | don't want you to misunderstand. Although you might not
care, we are already husband and wife. No matter the reason for the marriage, honesty is a must between a
couple."
These sincere words seemed to ignite a series of sparks, setting ablaze the suppressed emotions in Alistair's
heart. "I care," he replied.

Their breaths mingled. After the initial shock of being ambushed wore off, Audrey stopped avoiding him and even
slightly reciprocated the kiss.
Alistair's breathing suddenly grew heavier, and he scooped her up by her hips.
