NovelEnglishChapter 47
Alistair ignored Eliza's expression entirely, continuing to speak with a hint of affection, "Besides, Audrey has high
standards. The people she chooses only get better, not worse. So, clearly, anyone she's cut from her life was
probably... well..." Alistair left the sentence hanging, pausing just before saying "trash," but his expression made
his disdain obvious.
Eliza felt a surge of frustration. Not only had this couple publicly flaunted their love, but they had also managed
to insult her indirectly,
After all, Dominic, whom Audrey had let go, was now with her. 'Are they callingtrash too? Eliza thought
bitterly.
Under the combined mockery from Audrey and Alistair, Eliza couldn't help but feel humiliated. "This isn't how it's
supposed to be! | should be the one stepping all over Audrey, not the other way around, she fumed inwardly.
Seeing the resentment brewing in Eliza's eyes as she tried to stir up trouble, Audrey said coolly, "Instead of
obsessing over others, maybe you should take care of your own life, Eliza. Wouldn't want to make a fool of
yourself without even realizing it, right?" Audrey shot a pointed glance at the lunchbox in Eliza's hand.
Eliza raised the lunchbox with a smug grin, saying, "Audrey, what do you mean? Don't tellyou're jealous that
Dominic's learning to cook just for
me."
Then Eliza continued, "What, is only he allowed to make food for you, and Dominic can't do the sfor me?"
'So what if this guy is better looking than Dominic?" Eliza thought with pride. 'At least Dominic has money, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstatus, and is willing to change for
me.’
Audrey merely shook her head and scoffed, saying, "That 'homemade' lunch you're boasting about is just a quick
phone order, maybe thirty bucks at most. You still want to show it off in front of me?"
Since Eliza had shown up with that box, Audrey had recognized it as coming from Blossom Bites.
At first, Audrey hadn't planned to call her out on it, but Eliza had gone too far, trying to sow discord in her
marriage. There was no point in holding back now.
Eliza's face fell, her brows furrowing in disbelief. And she asked, "Who are you trying to fool?"
"This box is way too fancy to be a takeout container. It must've been a gift from Dominic himself, Eliza thought,
convincing herself that Audrey was lying out of jealousy.
Prepared for her reaction, Audrey peeled off a small bear sticker from the food box quickly. Beneath it, the
Blossom Bites logo was clearly visible, leaving no room for doubt.
Instantly, Eliza's face turned an alarming shade, and Emily, who had been watching the scene, couldn't help but
tease, "Wow, Ms. Harper, seems like your boyfriend doesn't care that much after all. He actually tricked you with
a dressed-up takeout box." Emily emphasized her words with a tone full of amusement, clearly relishing the
moment. She'd had enough of Eliza's arrogance.
'She stole Audrey's fiancé and still dares to flaunt it. Serves her right to get embarrassed like this!" Emily
thought, satisfied. Eliza's whole body trembled with rage. She felt as if she'd been slapped in front of everyone,
her cheeks burning with shame.
Yet, Eliza forced a weak smile and muttered, "Dominic's just been busy, that's all. He wouldn't lie to me."
Hearing that, the crowd shared amused glances, clearly skeptical.
Eliza's eyes grew teary as she shot Audrey a venomous look, then stormed off with the lunchbox in hand..
Feeling triumphant, Audrey felt a newfound lightness as she happily linked arms with Alistair. "Con, let's
take our food up to the cafeteria and eat together!"
As she leaned closer, Alistair caught a hint of her familiar orchid scent.
Then Alistair glanced down at her bright, joyful eyes and couldn't help smiling as he asked, "Are you this happy
because | brought you lunch, or because you got to put that irritating woman in her place?" Audrey tilted her
head and answered without hesitation, "Both."
"Well, in that case, do you think | deserve a little reward as the hero of the day?" Alistair's voice grew deeper as
he looked at her, his eyes filled with a warmth that held countless unspoken emotions.
