I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

As long as his wife returned, Terrence didn’t dare to hope for anything more, let alone a swift return to their previous life. Harvey drank too much, so Terrence arranged for him to stay in the guest room. When Audrey returned to Chaucer Manor, Prince Darcy proposed going back to France. Having experienced the pain of losing his daughter once, Prince Darcy didn’t want to go through it again. Only by returning to France and staying by his side could he better protect his daughter.

Audrey shook her head. “I don’t want to go back to France. I’m afraid I won’t get used to it. Dad, let’s talk about it later.”

Lady Katherine said, “Darcy, don’t be too anxious. Let’s wait until Meredith recovers. Meredith, you should go rest in your room; it’s the second door on the left on the second floor. The maid has already tidied it up.”

“Thank you,” Audrey said politely before heading upstairs.

Prince Darcy watched Audrey’s figure with relief. “Meredith is back.”

Lady Katherine said, “Yes, now you can be at ease. But bringing Meredith back to our country needs to be done slowly, don’t rush.”

“Yes, I was too anxious just now.” Prince Darcy’s relationship with Lady Katherine had also improved a lot over time. After all, they had been married for decades and had a son together; some emotions gradually became easier to accept over time.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Audrey locked the door as soon as she returned to her room; only then did she feel safe. At that moment, her phone rang-it was Peter calling.

Audrey answered, “Pete.”

“Audrey, are you okay?” Peter asked. “Did you meet the Sterling family?”

Peter had previously called Audrey to inform her that Terrence had found their home.

“Yes,” Audrey replied. “I met them today and even had dinner together. Now I’m back at Chaucer Manor. Pete, take good care of Dad.”

Peter assured her, “Don’t worry about things at home; I’ve got it covered.”

After hanging up, Audrey took out some medication from her bag-medicine for recovering from heart surgery that she still needed to take for another half year. After taking the medicine, she felt a bit drowsy. Everyone she faced now was a stranger to her, yet she had to try to accept them.

The next day.

Terrence arrived early in the morning. When Audrey came downstairs, she saw Terrence and Prince Darcy chatting over tea.

“Meredith,” Terrence immediately stood up upon hearing movement. “You’re awake and must be hungry. The maid is almost done with breakfast.”

Prince Darcy glanced at Terrence; he had taken all his lines-what else could he say?

Prince Darcy also stood up and asked lovingly, “Meredith, did you sleep well last night?”

“Very well,” Audrey replied and then looked at Terrence. “Good morning.”

A very polite greeting.

“Good morning,” Terrence responded joyfully inside.

In front of Audrey, there was no trace of aloofness; the current Terrence was just an ordinary man who wanted nothing more than to make his wife happy. He agreed with everything his wife said without question.

The maid approached Prince Darcy and said, “Sir, breakfast is ready.”

Before Prince Darcy could speak, Terrence said to Meredith, “Meredith, let’s go have breakfast.”

Prince Darcy: “…”

Terrence led Audrey to the dining room while Lady Katherine smiled and took Prince Darcy’s arm. “Are you jealous of your son-in-law? Meredith had an accident and Terrence was depressed for half a year. Now that she’s back, he’s naturally excited and wants to show it.”

Prince Darcy snorted coldly. “He didn’t know how to protect Meredith before; now he wants to take all the credit.”

Breakfast was abundant. As Prince Darcy and Lady Katherine walked towards the dining room, Terrence had already poured milk for Audrey and added sugar.

Audrey felt embarrassed. “I can do it myself.”

“I’ll handle it.” Terrence handed the milk to Audrey. “Meredith, after breakfast let’s go for a walk together-to the places we used to visit often. You’ll remember soon enough.”

Audrey could feel Terrence’s deep affection; anyone would be happy with such a perfect husband.

Audrey did not refuse and said, “Okay.”

Prince Darcy was a bit displeased; this son-in-law seemed intent on taking his daughter away from him.

She had just been brought back last night and now early in the morning he wanted to take her away again.
