"You'd better show me the back of the dress. That way there won't be all kinds of speculation here." Mila was still trying to persuade Audrey.She just wanted to end this debate as soon as possible. Besides, she was also very curious about the dress worn by Audrey.However, no matter how Mila tried to persuade her, Audrey still didn't want to take off the coat.Audrey objected. "There is no obligation for me to show it to anyone. Whether you believe me or not is up to you." Audrey still insisted on not giving in to people's wishes.Audrey already knew the true nature of people. They can never be satisfied. She felt that people were forcing and dictating to her. Audrey didn't like that.Audrey rejected it and the people there whispered to each other. "I think that woman is also wearing a fake dress, that's why she doesn't want to take off her coat." A woman commented to the friend next to her."Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If she was wearing a real dress, surely that woman wou
Audrey, who was with Nicky, also caught Daniel's presence as he entered the hall. Daniel walked straight and approached the couple who had been the center of everyone's attention.Now all eyes were suddenly on them.All the reporters looked deftly aiming their cameras at the three people who stole the attention of everyone there. They were confused whether to focus on Audrey who looked stunning in Tears of Paris or on Daniel Anderson, the successful businessman who was rarely exposed by the media.Audrey looked at Daniel and Kenzie who was with the man at the moment. Seeing the child there, there was a speck of feeling that arose in Audrey's heart at this moment. She wanted to take Kenzie into her arms, but it was impossible to do in front of many people like this. There would be controversy if she did.In line with Audrey's gaze, Kenzie did the same. She looked at Audrey and Nicky in turn. She also saw how Nicky carried Alea in her arms. Seeing that made Kenzie's envy appear instant
Audrey would not be swayed by that. Even if Daniel asked Kenzie to whine to her, Audrey would not change her decision to get engaged to Nicky.For Audrey, this is fair enough for Nicky. This is one of Audrey's ways to appreciate the man and repay all Nicky's kindness to her over the years.Nicky turned to her and smiled at her, Audrey greeted him with the same smile. A waiter came over with a tray in his hand filled with drinks. Nicky took the glass and gave it to Audrey.Audrey took a sip of the drink in the footed glass, in between sips she glanced at where Daniel and Patricia were at the moment. they were seen chatting with smiles at each other. as if nothing had ever happened between them.Audrey swallowed her drink forcefully and then smiled again at Nicky with the same force.While in the place where Daniel and Patricia were currently standing, the man seemed to be enjoying the conversation with Drizzt. This was completely out of Patricia's expectations. The woman did not stop d
The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?Daniel's arrogance rubbed off on Kenzie. Garry Wilson smiled forcefully in response to Kenzie's answer. He only made small talk to the boy.To be honest, Garry was confused to interact with Daniel.He respected Daniel's figure as a very successful young entrepreneur. In addition, Daniel is also known as a cold-hearted businessman. The man did not hesitate to bulldoze anyone who got in the way of his prospects.Therefore, he felt awkward talking to Daniel and finally chose to talk to Patricia."Miss Patricia, you look very beautiful tonight. The dress you're wearing suits your character perfectly." Garry complimented Patricia.Hearing the compliment, Patricia smiled shyly. "You are too complimentary Mr. Garry," Patricia said pleasantly.Garry smiled. "That's a fact. You are a good couple."Being said like that, made Patricia smile even wider. She also pressed her body even more against Daniel.Daniel was not unaware of that, if only
All eyes widened in surprise when they saw the violin being taken out. The majority of the guests there were art connoisseurs. So, they understand the quality of musical instruments. And the violin that Nicky Wilson took out this time is a high-quality violin.Of course, the violin is not cheap. Everyone understood that Nicky loved Audrey so much that he always gave her the best. "Did you see that? I've seen that violin at a music exhibition and the price is fantastic. It was made by a violinist. So it's not just for sale and it's a limited edition." one of the guests commented to his neighbor.They stared in awe at Nicky's attitude of treating Audrey like a queen."Really? That woman is so lucky to have Nicky Wilson as her fiancé," the other replied."Yes, you're right. If only I were in her shoes, I would probably be the happiest woman in the world." they chuckled amusedly with their imaginations.Meanwhile, Patricia still seemed reluctant to use the violin that she knew belonged t
Patricia was stunned by Nicky's words, then she glanced at Drizzt who was nearby.Patricia knew that she had slipped a note in the middle of the game. However, she quickly got the hang of it by not panicking.To a layman's ear, Patricia's mistake would have gone unnoticed thanks to her technical ability in playing the violin.However, she never expected Nicky to notice.Drizzt understood the meaning of Patricia's glance. As someone who had taught Patricia, he couldn't accept it if someone criticized Patricia like this. Saying Patricia's mistake is the same as saying that he is incompetent to be Patricia's teacher.Therefore, Drizzt tried to cover and protect Patricia."Patricia's ability to play the violin can be said to be one in a thousand. She has extraordinary talent. So, there's no need to doubt her playing. Besides, Patricia shouldn't be playing at an ordinary party like this."Nicky smiled a little at Drizzt's words.Drizzt wasn't happy with Nicky's smile. He felt that the man
They were astonished by the violin Audrey was using.The violin belongs to a very famous violin maestro and reportedly there is only one in this world. Then how could Audrey have it?"Where did you get that violin?" Drizzt asked Nicky curiously.Nicky smiled a little and said, "I bought it," she replied briefly.Nicky couldn't believe it, how could he buy such a classic and quality item? Because the last news Drizzt heard was that the violin could not be bought. Regardless of the price offered.It all seemed so absurd to Drizzt.Patricia frowned with great annoyance and envy. Even though she was the one struggling to become a professional violinist, why did Audrey have a better quality violin than her?Patricia should be able to have it to support her performance on stage. While Audrey is just a beginner player who has never shown her game in front of many people.She should have used an ordinary violin. Patricia did not suspect that Audrey had a show-off spirit.First Audrey showed t
Audrey managed to hypnotize the guests with the beautiful music she played.Everyone was completely mesmerized by Audrey's playing and they enjoyed it very much.Some people whispered that they felt the presence of Paradiso performing the music."Yes, you're right. I feel the same way." A woman in a silver dress commented to the friend next to her."It's true, isn't it what I said? I closed my eyes to enjoy it and I felt Paradiso playing instead of Audrey."They weren't the only ones who felt that way, several others did as well.Fifteen minutes of Audrey playing the music with Drizzt as her accompaniment. The combination of music playing is very mesmerizing.Even Daniel was surprised by Audrey's performance. Audrey's ability to play the violin has improved very rapidly in five years.Daniel did not expect Audrey to be this good.He remembers very well how it used to be when Audrey first tried to learn to play the violin. Daniel found her in the library with the violin in her hand and
Audrey let out a long sigh, she felt that Vincent was not her rival, so she was not interested in racing with him at all. Besides, she had more important things to do than just racing.Audrey shook her head. "I don't want to," she said, taking another swig of her drink and casting her eyes forward. "Why don't you take the other racers? With your family's last name, you can take them all instead of wasting time with me."Vincent chuckled. He just wanted to compete with Audrey, the woman who had beaten him out of boredom. The more Audrey rejected him, the more curious Vincent became about her."How can you like car racing? From the looks of you, you're not the type of woman who likes a challenge."Audrey laughed. "What you see is not necessarily the truth," Audrey said ambiguously.That was also what was currently happening to her. What she had seen from Daniel, how he had tried to convince her that he would love her for life and it turned out to be nothing but nonsense.Audrey was now
Audrey broke away from Vincent, she took a deep breath before returning her facial expression, trying to look normal.No, she wasn't crying. She must not cry. Daniel couldn't make her like this."Are you okay?" asked Vincent as he searched Audrey's eyes.She then squinted at Vincent. "Yes, I'm fine," she said firmly. Refusing to be looked at with a pitying gaze.Vincent pointed at Audrey's wet under-eye. Audrey immediately wiped it away and said loudly that she was not crying. "I got dust in my eyes earlier," she reasoned.Vincent smiled at her. Even under these circumstances, the woman still showed her pride.Audrey's hand looked up at Vincent. He frowned, not understanding what she wanted."The car keys. Give it to me, let me drive. You're too slow to drive." Audrey complained.She wanted something to get her adrenaline going right now. That way, it would be easy for Audrey to forget for a moment what made her heart so disturbed.Vincent seemed hesitant to give it to her, so Audre
Seeing that, Audrey couldn't resist going deeper and checking further.Audrey moved into the living room without Lili's permission. She knew she shouldn't have done such an unethical act, but her heart couldn't resist finding out more information.Asha was too clever to manipulate Audrey's feelings right now, so she could no longer think clearly and only suspicion dominated her mind.Audrey examined the living room carefully, then who knows what wind made her step back in without the owner's permission."What exactly are you looking for?" Lili asked Audrey. She knew that the woman in front of her right now was her boss's ex-wife. And because Lili had a specific purpose, the woman deliberately ended up confessing."Do you live alone here?" asked Audrey who seemed to be still examining in detail everything she passed."No, I don't. This is my house and Daniel's too."Audrey flinched for a moment at that, before she went back to her normal demeanor, trying to hide the hole in her heart.
"I can't come with you! I have something important to do!" Audrey refused when Vincent tried to force her to sit in his car.Audrey tried to leave, but Vincent pulled her back."All right, I'll drive you. Anywhere, I'm ready. As long as we can talk," Vincent said with a little force. He didn't mean any harm by forcing Audrey, all he wanted was a one-on-one talk with her.Audrey knew that he wouldn't mess with her. She looked at Vincent's face with an expectant expression.Not wanting to be the center of attention of the many people who were already glancing in their direction, Audrey was forced to follow Vincent and sat in his sports car.Audrey told him the address of her current destination and Vincent agreed to drive her. Along the way, Vincent continued to talk to Audrey about many things.He was still talking about what happened a few years ago.Audrey was not interested at all. Moreover, Vincent is one of the Anderson family members. First Daniel, then Asha, and now Vincent. It
Savi realized that she was being influenced by Asha's words. The woman was either intentional or not, but now Audrey began to think about it.Audrey admitted that she could not just close her ears and heart to what Asha said.And now she is very upset and has a prolonged dilemma.Initially, Audrey wanted to give Daniel a chance to fix everything. Start all over again. Maybe a new relationship would be much better for them.Especially now that Alea and Kenzie are filling their days. However, now Audrey feels that she is too naive.Daniel doesn't need her. Audrey should have realized that. Audrey felt that she was very stupid and she was sure that Daniel would consider her a woman who was easily tricked.Audrey exhaled slowly. Swallowing her heart so as not to affect her mood and behavior today. Some children were currently watching her.Audrey did not want the children to feel that her mother was not okay. Earlier, when they found out that Audrey's hand was injured by a knife slice, th
Audrey used the contact name viewer app even though she did not save the number.Asha. What else could she want? As Audrey remembered, Joni would take care of her.Audrey thought for a moment whether she should answer or not. Finally, she decided there was no harm in answering the call. Audrey wanted to know what the woman wanted to tell her."I thought you wouldn't answer my call," Asha said in a voice that sounded like it was smiling."What do you want?" she didn't want to waste time on small talk. After all, Asha wouldn't have called her just to say hello.Asha laughed. "I admit that you are indeed a smart woman. Unfortunately, your intelligence can't make Grandpa Abraham melt and accept you. You will never be accepted into the Anderson family. So don't even dream, Audrey."Audrey rolled her eyes in disgust. "So, you called me just to talk about this insignificant matter?"Asha was surprised that Audrey was not affected by her words at all.She thought Audrey would be upset or some
"Stop meddling with my personal life, Grandpa," Daniel warned Abraham. He took the last sip of his glass and left.Daniel briefly glanced at Asha who was currently choosing to look away.As the man exited the living room, Daniel bumped into Vincent who had just come down the stairs.Vincent didn't know what Daniel was here for and why. What was clear was that he didn't care. Vincent nodded in greeting to the man and Daniel nodded back. Afterward, they went their separate ways.After Daniel left, Asha looked very upset. She growled and held back her frustration. Asha did not expect that Daniel still liked Audrey. Even though five years have passed, the man still harbors his feelings for Audrey and Asha hates that right.Abraham saw Asha's unhappy expression."What's wrong, dear?" asked Abraham who immediately approached Asha."I hate Audrey, Grandpa. That woman always takes what I want. I'm upset and sad because Audrey has damaged a car that is very valuable to me." Asha bent her face
"Audrey!"When Asha said that name, Daniel immediately went silent.Now he knew the reason behind Audrey's morning rage and her coldness towards Daniel. She didn't like the car being given to Asha.If that's true, it means that the car is a special memory for Audrey so she doesn't want Asha to have it ...Knowing this, Daniel secretly smiled faintly.He felt happy, because that way, Audrey had shown her jealousy."You have to talk to Audrey so that she doesn't do whatever she wants. That car means a lot to me because it was given to me by you, but out of jealousy Audrey just destroyed it. She should realize that now-""Asha, enough," Daniel warned her. He didn't want Asha to sneer further at Audrey.Asha's mouth fell open when Daniel said that.She knew from that that he was still very much in love with his ex-wife.Asha did not like to see it. After five years, the woman should not have to come back and create new problems.She hated Audrey, and now Asha should be able to try to get
After finishing their porridge, the two children grabbed Audrey's attention and asked her to read them a royal fairy tale.Alea loves stories about kingdoms and now she wants to hear a fairy tale about a princess who is rescued by a prince. Kenzie, who has rarely heard a fairy tale, is eager to experience the same thing as Alea. He wanted to hear Audrey tell the story.So he readily agreed and looked very enthusiastic.Audrey was going to take care of some work that had previously been emailed by Joni, but once she saw the hopeful eyes of her two children, Audrey decided not to do it and instead chose to accompany them.Daniel, who was still struggling with the laptop in front of him and the pile of documents on the side of the table, occasionally glanced at Audrey.He noticed how Audrey gave warm affection to their children. Daniel's heart warmed instantly. He secretly smiled, though not fully.As he was enjoying this warm scene suddenly the ringing of his cell phone distracted Danie
