"She's Audrey Yao. She's a doctor in a hospital in Switzerland. She cured Adrian. She doesn't know
anyone here in City A. Nobody would've picked her up if I hadn't."
"If she's from another country, why did she come to City A by herself?" Mandy asked in an aggressive
manner. The real fight was about to break out.
There were two people who could make a woman brave—one was a man, and the other was a child.
As a mother, women should be strong enough to protect their children. When a woman was pursuing
her true love, she also had to be brave.
Mandy guessed that the person called Audrey came to City A for Nathan's sake. She also wondered
why the name sounded so familiar to her. She seemed to have heard of it before. She grew so angry
that she became dizzy. After calming down, she suddenly remembered that Audrey had studied in
England. They both studied medicine in Oxford, but Audrey was one year older than she was, and they
had different tutors.
"Her parents passed away. She doesn't want to go back to City C anymore," Nathan explained
patiently.
"So… You stayed with her the whole afternoon?" Mandy raised her eyebrows, a sarcastic smile
creeping onto her red lips.
Nathan's lips pressed together into a thin line. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "What are you
really asking me, Mandy?"
"You have been changing subjects all night, Nathan. Are you hiding something? I only want you to give
me a clear answer. Were you with her this afternoon?" Mandy was now a little agitated. She stared
straight into Nathan's cold eyes. Her heart raced, and a sneer appeared on her face.
"Yes," Nathan answered frankly.
The Chanel No. 5 was a classic ladies' perfume. Men did not usually wear that kind of perfume. When
Nathan returned to the villa tonight, the perfume on his clothes made Mandy wonder whom he had
been hanging around with the entire afternoon.
Hearing what Nathan said, Mandy kept silent. She felt like she was about to cry because of his words.
She suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and there was hot liquid emerging from her eyes. She gritted her
teeth and asked sadly, "So, you did accompany her all afternoon. You didn't reply to my message but
spent the whole afternoon with another woman."
A woman's sixth sense was really awesome sometimes. For example, Mandy's sixth sense had always
been very accurate. When Nathan did not reply to her WeChat message, she had a vague feeling that
he was with another woman. But she did not know what they had done when they were together. She
did not even know who that woman was.
Mandy's eyes were now red from keeping her tears from falling. Although she really wanted to cry, she
tried her best to hold back her tears.
When Nathan saw Mandy's piteous appearance, the anger in his heart immediately dissipated. The last
thing he wanted to see was Mandy crying. Just now, he had tried to be patient, but just for a moment,
he lost control of his anger and spoke to his wife in a harsh tone.
He felt wronged as well. He and Audrey were just friends, but Mandy thought otherwise. Her paranoia
was a little annoying.
He stretched out his long arms to hold Mandy, and his tone suddenly became gentler. He was not good
at comforting people. Nathan had always been indifferent to others, but he knew how important Mandy
was to him. Having a fight over something that was not worth it was going to hurt their relationship.
Mandy struggled for a while in Nathan's arms and frowned in embarrassment.
"Honey, don't be angry anymore, okay? There's nothing between me and Audrey. Audrey just came to
City A, and I accompanied her to visit some places near her house. She saved Adrian after all. Please
don't be angry—for our son's sake." Nathan locked Mandy in his embrace. No matter how hard she
struggled in his arms, he just refused to let her go.
After a long while, Mandy eventually calmed down. She felt like she might be a little narrow-minded.
Why was she angry with Nathan over a stranger she had never met? If Nathan really did cheat on her,
why was he still here, comforting her?
This time, it seemed that she had wronged him again.
Just when Mandy's thoughts were drifting away, she suddenly heard a low and deep male voice. "I'll
take you to see her tomorrow. You'll know when you see her."
"Why should I see her?" Mandy knitted her brows at Nathan's suggestion. She had already calmed
down, but she was unwilling to see Audrey.
She knew what Audrey looked like. Back in Oxford, Audrey was a well-known beauty. 'I heard her
zodiac sign was Libra. Women of that sign are good at managing their relationship with men. She's
really good at it, it seems, ' Mandy thought.
Nathan smiled faintly. He put his hands on Mandy's waist and said, "Do you doubt my relationship with
her? Don't worry. I will prove to you that you have nothing to worry about."
"I don't want to go see her," Mandy rejected him decisively. With her eyelashes trembling, she thought,
'I can't see her. It will make me look petty. If she really is interested in Nathan, we will definitely meet in
the future.'
But Mandy did not expect that they would meet so soon.
Mandy and Nathan grew very tired. After they had made up, they hugged each other and went to bed.
The next day, they woke up a little late. It was half-past seven when Nathan, Mandy, and Adrian went
downstairs together. Then, they saw Audrey sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Nathan's dark eyes turned cold. He froze upon seeing Audrey. He did not expect her to be here, and he
had no idea what she was trying to do by showing up here this early. He squinted at Mandy, who was
standing next to him. She looked calm on the surface, but there was a hint of unhappiness on her face.
Seeing Audrey, Adrian went down the stairs with a smile. He rushed toward her and greeted her in an
enthusiastic voice, "Hi, Aunt Audrey!"
Mandy glanced at her son, feeling disgruntled.
"Hey, Adrian." Audrey stood up. Today, she wore a simple grey shirt over a white dress, which gave off
a fresh feeling. When she smiled, two shallow dimples formed on her pretty face, giving off a
welcoming presence.
Adrian walked over and kissed Audrey's cheek. His big eyes smiled radiantly. "Aunt Audrey, when did
you arrive in City A?"
"I arrived yesterday. Are you happy to see me?" Audrey touched Adrian's hair with a doting smile and
held him in her arms.
