Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin ) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 

Audrey thanked Julian and got into the car. 

She borrowed a charging cable from Julian and finally charged her phone. 

As soon as it turned on, she saw over 60 missed calls, most from the same number–Nathan’s. Clutching her phone tightly, she wondered about his intentions. 

Was he checking if she had followed his plan or been with Hugo? 

Either way, it couldn’t be out of concern. 

With a dubious smile, Audrey dialed Anne’s number. 

“Audrey!” Anne sounded relieved. She said hushedly, “The police have cleared everything, and Ms. Doyle isn’t pressing charges. I’m at a hotel arranged that the show’s crew put me up in.” 

“Which hotel? I’ll come right over,” Audrey offered. 

‘No, don’t! The Yeomans family is here tool Don’t worry about me. I’ll head back once the show is over. But… the photos I brought for Nathan…” Anne cautioned. She was worried they might bother Audrey.. 

Audrey felt a sharp pain in her palm, realizing she had clenched her fist so hard the night before that it was injured. 

She replied softly, “Anne, throw those photos away. Nathan and I are divorced now. There’s no connection between us anymore.” 

Anne was shocked and then broke out into a low cry, 

She sobbed, “I should have realized sooner. Ever since you woke up, you never returned with Nathan. You always said he was busy…” 

“It’s over, Anne,” Audrey gently cut her off, feeling the weight of her words. 

Anne sighed, “It’s just… Audrey, you suffered so much for him. Both of you shouldn’t have ended this way.” 

The phone buzzed with another call. Audrey excused herself, telling Anne that she had another call coming in. She hung up. 

The incoming call was from the “Looking For Family” crew, a man named Tom Baker. 

“Hello, Ms. Yeomans. Can you come for the dress rehearsal this afternoon? We’re recording tomorrow and need to run through the sequence,” Tom said. 

“I can’t make it to the rehearsal. I’m tied up with something else.” 

“Understood! I’ll get in touch with you later. Just call me Tom.” 

As she ended the call, Julian glanced at Audrey in the rearview mirror. 

Chapter 18 

“Ms. Yeomans, if you don’t wish to participate In the show, Mr. Lambert can make a call on your behalf. And don’t worry, Mr. Lambert and Professor Lambert have spoken over the phone. Profesent Lambert isn’t affected. The show has its ethics, and the Yeomans family’s greed will backfire” 

Julian’s voice was full of confidence. 

The mention of Ryan brought back memories of last night. Audrey smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s alright. I have my reasons for participating.”
