Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 26
Audrey was momentarily stunned. Her eyes grew tight and uncomfortable.
She didn’t accept the friend request. Instead, she replied, “I have no need for the
scarf. Please throw it away. Thank you.!
She locked her phone screen again, and leaned her cheek on her hand as she
gazed out the window.
The pitter—patter of raindrops hit the glass, illuminated by the lights outside. They
highlighted Audrey's indifferent features and the bandage around her forehead.
In the years since waking up from the accident, she thought she was chasing the
love of her youth and all the happiness in her life.
But it seemed someone like her was never going to attain happiness in life. She
had kept up the promises she’d made for two years and was truly tired now.
From this day forward, she had to live for herself.
She was grateful to have survived the car accident.
Life was short. Beyond Nathan, she had Anne, Harper, her passions, and her
beloved studies.
The high-speed train began to accelerate, carrying Audrey past the blurred lights
of Sheysea under
the rain.
Sheysea, the city that had been her life for several years, held her past loves and
all her friends. The rapidly moving train was leaving the city and its inhabitants far
behind.
Nathan stared at Audrey's response on his phone, motionless for a long time.
Her overly polite and distant reply unsettled him. Frowning, he stared at the
screen,
lost in thought.
“Nathan, I toast to you! If it hadn't been for your money sorting that woman out, I
wouldn't be free
now.”
Charles raised his glass to Nathan. He downed its contents in one gulp. “I can't
mess with Ryan, but this was too insulting! He's just a foster son of the Lambert
family... Why is he so arrogant?”
“Even though he's a foster son, you can’t deny his luck. Everyone in the circle
knows he’s the true heir of the Lambert family,” someone cautioned Charles.
“Forget it. Ryan isn’t someone we can afford to offend.”
Charles didn't respond. He took another drink.
“You're late to the scene so you don’t know. Audrey's birth mother and Ryan are
relatives. In the years Ryan wasn't in Sheysea, he still looked out for Audrey. You
drugged Audrey. Do you think Ryan would let you off?”

Lucas poured Charles more wine and continued, “From now on, stop messing
with Audrey. You'll regret it if you drag Amelia into this.”
Charles's eyes darkened with malice.
He couldn't provoke Ryan... couldn't touch Audrey...
Was he really powerless against a mute?
He had to vent this frustration somehow.
