Chapter 4

Tyler’s denial surprised Audrey.

“Don’t you remember? During your sophomore year, she and her friends blocked your way after school and…”

“Speaking of that, I remember now. Tyler interrupted Amelia, his tone cold as he said, “If it weren’t for you that day, maybe Audrey and I would have been together carlier.”

“What?” Amelia’s voice rose in surprise. She was not able to believe what she had just heard. “She…”

“Miss Griffin, I know how Audrey treated me. Tyler’s tone turned colder.

Being interrupted twice by Tyler, Amelia was almost unable to hold back her anger. If she had known earlier that Audrey was going on a blind date with Tyler, she would have definitely taken Audrey’s place.

How could something so good happen to Audrey?‘ Amelia wondered, gritting her teeth.

“Audrey,” Hannah whispered.

Audrey looked up.

“Did Tyler use to bully you?” Hannah asked.

Audrey hesitated, not knowing how to answer for a moment. If they were talking about bullying, she should be the one who bullied him at every turn.

Before she could answer, Tyler turned his head to look at her. “Did I bully you?”

Meeting his deep gaze, Audrey felt a little guilty.

“Tyler doesn’t seem like someone who would bully others.” Emma pinched Audrey hard under the table, signaling her not to speak recklessly.

Audrey shook her head reluctantly. “No.”

Throughout the meal, Audrey was in a daze. Tyler seemed like a completely different person, constantly serving her food and being so gentle that she couldn’t tell if she was having a dream.

Based on their previous adversarial relationship, Tyler was bound to make her feel embarrassed. But he was considerate in every way, without a hint of insincerity.

When they parted at the door, Hannah looked at Audrey, , “Audrey, come to our house with Tyler another day.”

“I…” Audrey stuttered.

“I’ll tell you Tyler’s secret then.” Before Audrey could finish her sentence, Hannah. interrupted her softly.

Hannah’s enthusiasm made it difficult for Audrey to decline.

She reluctantly agreed, under the threatening gaze of Emma. “Okay.”

Emma approached Hannah and said, “Then Hannah, come to our house for a meal. another day. You’re welcome to come over anytime.”

After learning about the Russell family’s background, Emma tried harder to get closer to them, her tone of voice appearing more respectful.

It was as if this engagement was already set in stone.

Before getting in the car, Hannah said to Tyler, “It’s still early. Why don’t you and Audrey take a walk?”

“Yeah, exactly. Let Audrey accompany Tyler for a walk. We’ll go back first.” Emma knew that they had formed connections with the Russell family, so her tone toward Audrey became much softer.

“Mom, Audrey has been working all this time. How would she know what interesting. places there are in Willowdale?” Amelia chimed in, “Tyler, you’ve been away from Willowdale for so long. Let me show you around. What do you. think?”

Tyler pulled Audrey closer to him and said softly, “No need. Audrey will show me around.”

Amelia felt extremely embarrassed by such a straightforward rejection. However, thinking of the fact that Audrey was going to marry Tyler, she couldn’t dwell on her embarrassment.

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll be family soon.” Amelia stepped forward and linked arms “Amelia stepped forward and linked arms with Audrey. “Audrey, I’ll go with you, okay?”

Audrey knew exactly what Amelia was up to, and she directly refused, “No need. I’ve always been in Willowdale, Are there any interesting places in Willowdale that you know but I don’t?”

The smile on Amelia’s face froze, and she glared at Audrey, pretending to be wronged. “I… I just wanted to hang out with you guys ”

“If Amelia wants to go, just take her along. Why argue about it?” Emma interrupted Audrey sounding a bit displeased. “The places you’ve been are definitely not of interest to Tyler. Let Amelia take you to some interesting places.”

Hearing Emma’s words, Audrey didn’t speak anymore. Amelia happily looked at Tyler and said, “Tyler, Willowdale has changed a lot in these years. I’ll take you to see the places we used to…”

Tyler’s phone rang just as Amelia was trying to strike up a conversation with him.

He answered the call, and the person on the other end of the phone said something to him. Tyler smiled and said, “Sure, we’re heading over now.”

Hanging up the phone, Tyler pulled Audrey closer. I’ll take you somewhere.”

“Audrey.” Just as Tyler opened the passenger seat for Audrey to get in, Amelia softly called Audrey.

Audrey turned to look at her.

“Audrey, I get a little car sick. Can I sit in the front?” Amelia asked.

Audrey wanted to laugh, but she didn’t. She had never seen Amelia get car sick, of

course.

Without waiting for Audrey’s response, Amelia quickly got into the passenger seat. “Tyler, let’s go.”

Tyler glanced at Amelia and asked, “Can you drive?”

Amelia hesitated for a moment and nodded, replying truthfully, “Yes, I can.”

“I heard that people who get car sick usually don’t get sick when they’re the ones. driving, so why don’t you drive?” Tyler suggested.

With that, Tyler held Audrey’s hand and sat in the backseat with her.

Seeing the two sitting side by side, Amelia gritted her teeth and had no choice but to get out of the car and sit in the driver’s seat. She had originally planned to sit in the passenger seat and get closer to Tyler. She never expected to end up as their free. chauffeur.

“Go to Dreamwood.” Tyler stated the address.

Audrey looked the person sitting next to her through the reflection on the car window and regretted not speaking up to refuse Amelia earlier.

Sitting in the passenger seat at least provided some distance between Audrey and Tyler, but sitting so close to him made her feel uncomfortable all over. She tried to sit as close to the car window as possible.

“Is my car a bit small?” Suddenly, Tyler’s voice sounded in her ear.

Audrey turned her head to look at him.

87%

Tyler adjusted his sitting position, narrowing the distance Audrey had created between them. “There’s no more space left.”

Audrey said, “You can move a bit to the side.”

Tyler didn’t respond and simply closed his eyes to take a nap.

Fortunately, the distance from Grandeur Hotel to Dreamwood wasn’t far, and they arrived quickly.

As soon as the car stopped, Audrey got out of the car.

Tyler watched Audrey’s almost fleeing appearance and couldn’t help but smile. He got out of the car, saying to her, “Let’s go inside.”

“Sorry, Tyler, but I suddenly feel unwell. Why don’t you go up first? I want Audrey to accompany me to the restroom,” Amelia apologized to Tyler after getting out of the car.

Tyler looked at Audrey with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Audrey also wanted to know what her sister was up to, so she nodded at Tyler. “You go

up

first. I’ll accompany her.”

Tyler said in a low voice, “Dreamroom No. 1. Come up when you finish.”

Audrey nodded.

“Do you really think Tyler would be willing to marry you?” Amelia asked sarcastically as soon as they reached the restroom door.

“I don’t think so,” Audrey calmly replied.

“He dislikes you so much, so he definitely won’t marry you. You better not have any delusions.” Amelia stood in front of the sink, touching up her makeup and saying, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to marry him? Then why did you come to meet his parents?”

Audrey looked at her, saying in a cold tone of voice, “Don’t you know why I came here?”

If it weren’t for her grandmother’s medical expenses, she would never have come.

Amelia finished fixing her makeup and sneered. “I didn’t expect you to care so much. about that old woman. Well, don’t you hate her for not treating you well before?”

“What exactly do you want to say?” Audrey asked.
