NovelEnglish'He was just buckling my seatbelt. What was going through my mind? Why did | closed my eyes?' Audrey curled
up her toes in embarrassment, gripping the marriage certificate so tightly that her knuckles turned a shade
whiter. Alistair had already settled back into his seat, and when he caught sight of Audrey's flustered expression,
he playfully raised a hand to mess up her soft hair, smirking as he said, "Careful there, or the marriage
certificate that just arrived might need a do-over." Still lost in her mortification, Audrey sniffed and glanced
down, only to realize she'd practically crumpled the marriage certificate with her grip. She quickly released it and
tried to smooth it out, murmuring, "I'm sorry. | didn't mean to." Sure, everyone else had complimented her for
staying cool under pressure, but she always ended up feeling so awkward around Alistair.
Noticing the flush on Audrey's cheeks, Alistair chuckled. "No rush. Take your tI'll give you a moment to settle
in."
Audrey's face blushed even more. 'Settle in? Does he mean buckling my seatbelt? Or...?' she wondered.
Audrey had definitely been in love before, but honestly, compared to the cold and arrogant Dominic, Alistair had
her completely captivated. He was gentle and funny, making it hard for her to think straight.
Sure, she was still calling the shots in the wedding, but her feelings were totally taken over by Alistair. She
realized she couldn't just sit back and let things happen. She needed to reclaim her power in this situation.
Just as Audrey was trying to figure out how to shake off the embarrassment, her cell phone in her bag suddenly
buzzed. The ringtone sounded especially loud in the quiet car. She quickly fished it out and saw "Violet" pop up
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton the screen, immediately answering the call. Violet Monroe, Audrey's best friend, had been studying abroad for
the past six months. She was supposed to be back today but had run late, which was why she missed the
wedding.
With her vibrant personality, Violet's voice rang through the phone like a bell. "Audrey! | just got to the venue
and heard the wedding got cancelled. What happened? Did that jerk Dominic screw up?"
"The wedding is cancelled?" Audrey was taken aback. She and Alistair had just tied the knot and even picked up
their marriage certificate.
Violet was fuming. "Dominic said that. That jerk wouldn't even tellwhere he was. Otherwise, | swear I'd hunt
him down and give him a piece of my mind!
"A wedding that had been planned for ages just got scrapped like that? He better be half-dead and not able to
show his face!"
Hearing this, Audrey spoke softly, "So, you called him? What did he say?"
"He claimed you two had a fight and that you were upset, so the wedding's on hold until you cool down." Violet
exploded, not holding back in the slightest. "Seriously? That's bullshit, and | don't buy it for a second."
Audrey's face dragged. The blwas all falling on her, and she couldn't let anyone in on how she'd been
drafted at the last second.
‘Does Dominic really think I'd just be angry for a bit and then march back to him when | calm down? Who gives
him that kind of confidence?’ Audrey thought.
Audrey chuckled to herself and asked Violet, "Why not?"
"It's not that | don't trust him. | know you too well, and nobody understands how much you've invested in this
wedding better than | do.
"The dream wedding you had been dying for was right in front of you. No way you'd just bail because of a fight at
this stage. He must have done something truly heartless to hit your breaking point."
