My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 

Alistair noticed that Jessica was silent. He said. I should have visited you when you were hospitalized in St. Johnson Hospital, But Audrey hadn’t reconnected with you back then so I was afraid it might make things worse. Please don’t be angry with 

Jessica smiled in embarrassment. “No worries! 

She remembered she received the best treatment so quickly all because of Alistair 

But just moments ago, she still wanted her daughter to dump him. She suddenly felt a bit guilty. 

Already feeling a bit uneasy, Jessica was suddenly weighed down with guilt. 

Yet Alistair seemed oblivious to her discomfort. He asked how the was doing, showing great concern for her health, 

Jessica didn’t know how to handle his enthusiasm. After quickly finishing the large plate of food, she hurriedly said she needed to leave. 

-Audrey, not quite ready to let her go, took her arm and pleaded with her. “Mom, you came all the way here. Why not stay 

here tonight”* 

Alistair said thoughtfully, “You and Audrey haven’t seen each other for a long time. You guys must have a lot to talk about. I’ll go get a room ready for you” 

“No!” Jessica shook her head vigorously and said firmly. “Her dad’s been working night shifts. I have to wait for him at home. 

She was worried that if she stayed any longer, she would be completely defeated by Alistairs charm. 

After she said that, Alistair didn’t know how to persuade her to stay there. 

However, before she left, he found a big pile of gifts out of nowhere and handed them to Jessica. “Mom, these are gifts for you Today’s meeting was a bit rushed. I’ll visit you later.” 

Jessica glanced at the boxes and noticed logos of luxury brands on them. There were skincare products, supplements, scarves, and a velvet bux with a bracelet graphic, which seemed to contain a jade bangle. 

She thought they must be worth at least thousands of dollars. 

She was stunned. She quickly put her hands behind her back. “No, no, no! I can’t take them?” 

She was just here to see her daughter, not expecting any gifts. 

Alistair insisted on giving them to Jessica but she refused it again and again, worried about the obligation that came with 

Sering that they had reached a deadlock at the doorway, Audrey couldn’t stand it anymore. She said to Jessica, “Mom, don’t worry Just take them! He just wants to be nice” 

Jessica besitated for a moment, giving Alistair a perfect chance to shove all the gifts into her hands. 

She thought that this would be the end of it 

Unexpectedly, Alistair took advantage of the situation. He said, “Mom, how about I drive you back home!” 

Jessica was shocked. She stopped Alistair, who was about to walk out of the door and quickly said, “No. I already have a taxi waiting for me downstairs. Im off now. Don’t worry” 

After that, she quickly closed the door and rushed to the elevator like she was fleeing from something
