Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin )
Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Thankfully, Nathan had forgotten about Audrey and insisted on being with Amelia. Even though Audrey persistently pursued Nathan, he never relented.

Finally, their family was on the brink of freeing themselves from Audrey, whose father was a rapist and whose mother was a kidnapped woman.

Somehow, her son had now regained his memory. Was this some kind of prank?

No! No matter what, Carol couldn’t allow Audrey to have any connection with Nathan again. She had to replace a way to expedite the marriage between Amelia and Nathan.

Tomorrow was George’s birthday banquet. She wondered if she could leverage Hugo’s connections to attend together.

It would show sincerity and respect toward George while garnering Ryan’s assistance with the Franklin Group.

After all, the ordeal with Evergreen Biotech caused considerable losses for the Franklin Group because of Charles.

If Lambert Corporation could aid the Franklin Group, perhaps they could bounce back in a few years.

Carol made a firm decision and quickly went upstairs to call Hugo and Amelia.

When Audrey woke up, there was an arm draped across her waist.

Her back was pressed against a warm wall, and her head rested on a strong, sturdy arm. Her hand was firmly held by slender fingers.

She turned and saw Ryan’s handsome face before her.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened when she recalled last night. She closed her eyes, commanding herself to calm down.

The more she tried, the more last night’s scenes replayed in her mind.

She remembered Ryan’s consuming desire for control, his fervent gaze as he tied her hands with a tie, and the sound of her own pleading voice.

She only hoped that there were no marks left on her body from last night, especially since she had to attend George’s birthday banquet today.

Just as Audrey was about to move the arm around her waist, the man’s arm tightened around her, pulling her even closer.

Their bodies fitted snugly together.

“You’re awake…” Audrey didn’t dare to look back at Ryan. “The makeup artist will be here soon, we can’t sleep anymore. It wouldn’t look good if someone saw us like this.”

It would be difficult to conceal their relationship if others caught them.

Audrey didn’t want anyone else to know about them before she figured out how to confess their relationship to George.

Ryan held Audrey for a while before letting her go to freshen up.

She checked herself in the mirror and was relieved to replace no marks on her body.

When Audrey finished freshening up, Julian also brought the suit Ryan would wear today.

Audrey’s makeup artist arrived after Ryan was properly dressed and ready.

Seeing Ryan and Julian, the makeup artist and the others assumed that Ryan had come early to pick Audrey up.

They swiftly began preparing Audrey according to the makeup plan they’d agreed upon yesterday.

Ryan sat patiently on the couch for over three hours while Audrey was attended to, showing no signs of impatience.

Buried in paperwork, he occasionally glanced up in Audrey’s direction.

His eyes were full of predatory intent concealed behind his glasses.
