I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Terrence didn’t answer Azure; he didn’t have an answer himself. He couldn’t bring himself to divorce Meredith. From the moment they got their marriage certificate until now, he had never thought of divorce. He still believed that some things didn’t necessarily need to be resolved through divorce. Generally, there were two reasons people didn’t divorce: weighing the pros and cons or because of love. Terrence was undoubtedly the latter; he loved Meredith and didn’t want to give up.

Azure stopped asking questions and left Ravenwood after a while. Terrence didn’t wait for Stella to come back but saw Julian return, which meant Stella hadn’t gone on a date with Julian at all.

Little Lucky needed a nap after lunch. Once Little Lucky fell asleep, Terrence instructed Julian to look after her and planned to leave.

Julian stopped him, “Son, where are you going? How can you bear to leave such a lovely daughter?”

Julian wasn’t very perceptive, but even he noticed something was off with Terrence lately. Little Lucky had been at Ravenwood for quite some time now, and even Julian’s usually oblivious nature picked up on it.

“Rowan is my daughter; I won’t abandon her,” Terrence said. “I’m just going out to handle something.”

Julian hesitated before saying, “Alright then. I know you’ve been feeling down this past year. Whether it’s because something happened to Meredith or because she came back, it feels like our family will never be the same again.”

The house felt lifeless; if it weren’t for Little Lucky, it would be even more oppressive.

Terrence said nothing and left Ravenwood. He returned to his place to pack for a trip to Meriton. A voice inside him urged him to go there.

As Terrence was about to leave, Prince Darcy arrived. He had called Audrey several times without getting through and decided to come to Terrence’s place to find her.

Seeing Prince Darcy, Terrence greeted him, “Dad.”

He was surprised; Prince Darcy rarely visited him-this was only the second time.

“I’m here to find Meredith,” Prince Darcy said. “She hasn’t been home for a long time. What has she been busy with? She hasn’t answered my calls.”

Prince Darcy was worried something had happened to his daughter. Even though he had family in France, Bianca and Meredith were also his family in his heart. He couldn’t bear the pain of losing his daughter.

“Meredith isn’t home,” Terrence said. “She went to Meriton with Grandma this morning. I was planning to go there too; she might have missed your calls because she was on the plane.”

“What is she doing in Meriton?” Prince Darcy was very concerned. “Meredith isn’t in good health; Meriton is damp with large temperature differences between morning and night. What if she gets sick?”

This reminded Terrence of something. “Dad, does anyone in your royal family have heart disease?”

Audrey had undergone heart surgery but never explained why in detail. The doctor mentioned that such surgery was either due to family inheritance or congenital heart disease.

Meredith’s heart was healthy with no such issues, so Terrence wanted to know if there was any hereditary condition on Prince Darcy’s side.

Prince Darcy denied it, “No one in the family has heart disease issues. Why do you ask?”

“No one?” Terrence was shocked. Then why did Audrey undergo heart surgery?

“But Meredith had heart surgery,” he continued. “She’s still taking anti-rejection medication now. The surgery happened after the shipwreck during her time in Meriton.”

“Meredith had heart surgery?” Prince Darcy was equally shocked. “How is she doing now?”

Terrence wasn’t concerned about Audrey’s health anymore but rather why she had the surgery. He recalled what Stella had said at Ravenwood-that the current Meredith didn’t seem like Meredith…

But the birthmark on her waist matched; everything seemed reasonable. So where did things go wrong?

Terrence began to doubt not only Audrey’s identity but also himself.

At that moment, he felt as if the world was an illusion since Meredith’s accident; nothing seemed real anymore.

Like Terrence, Selene also felt something was off with Audrey at the return banquet. Today, she called Harvey out to inquire about some details.
