I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Terrence smiled, “You are always my number one.”

“Alright, I’ll bring Rowan over tomorrow,” Meredith planned to keep Terrence from overthinking. Having their daughter around could help ease the stress of a failed surgery. Their adorable daughter could heal anything.

Terrence’s eyes were uncomfortable, and he couldn’t sleep. Meredith stayed with him, talking to distract him.

Meredith only shared good news, keeping restaurant issues and Ferris’ visit to herself. “When you get better and Rowan is a bit older, let’s travel as a family. We’ll see mountains, rivers, the Northern Lights in Norway, the ginkgo leaves…” Meredith had many things she wanted to do with him.

People say that the beauty of travel lies not in the scenery but in the company.

He gently held her hand, “No need to wait. Once the bandages are off, whether I can see or not, I’ll go with you.”

Meredith looked at him with warmth in her eyes and heart, “I’m so lucky to have married you.” Finding a stable husband was crucial for her.

Terrence chuckled, “Many people envy me for marrying such a capable and beautiful wife. Meredith, do you regret marrying me?”

“Never,” Meredith said. “They say couples think of strangling each other or divorcing countless times in a lifetime. But we haven’t even fought once. Terrence, do you think it’s abnormal for couples not to argue? Maybe we should have a fight someday?”

Terrence laughed, “I don’t know how to argue.”

Meredith teased, “You used to retort people all the time and said it was refreshing for me. Was that an attack on my appearance?”

Terrence feigned amnesia, “Did I? I don’t remember that. You must be mistaken.”

Seeing him playfully deny it, Meredith laughed, “By the way, my dad returned to France. He’s still preparing our wedding. Once you’re better, the wedding will proceed as planned.”

“You deserve a wedding. My wife must wear a beautiful wedding dress,” Terrence said. “I owe you that. Rowan is already so big; it’s time for our wedding.”

He had always remembered this promise. If not for his eye problem, the wedding would have been arranged already.

As they talked, Meredith fell asleep in his arms.

Knowing she was tired, Terrence didn’t move and held her in the same position.

Terrence’s surgery hadn’t failed; he and Dr. Simpson had agreed to tell everyone it did. Whether it truly succeeded would be known once the bandages were removed.

Terrence wasn’t deceiving Meredith; fewer people knowing meant better results.

Sleeping in his arms, Meredith had a good night’s sleep. The next day, she received news from Liam Michaelson.

The previous night, Joy Chaucer had escaped from prison quietly. The entire surveillance system was hacked.

It was clearly organized and planned.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

The police immediately suspected Celestial Alliance; this was their usual method. And if Celestial Alliance was involved and cared about Joy Chaucer, it had to be Ferris.

The police immediately focused on Ferris.

Ferris had only tried his luck but didn’t expect Celestial Alliance to actually get Joy out. However, before he could meet Joy Chaucer, he was taken to the police station for questioning.

Ferris claimed, “I really don’t know anything about Celestial Alliance or Joy’s escape. Did something happen to her? Are you tricking me? Where is Joy?”

Ferris was genuinely confused. The police said Joy Chaucer escaped; where was she?

He hadn’t seen her.

Liam Michaelson sternly said, “Ferris, we hope you’ll cooperate with the investigation.”

“I can’t cooperate; I know nothing,” Ferris said. “Check if you don’t believe me.”
