My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 29

Audrey was fed up with his act. Then she teased, "Dominic, do you really think I can't live without you?

"Back then, you chased me down, saying you couldn't live without me. You begged for the wedding. But in the end, you left me for someone else at the wedding."

Audrey was never one to dwell on past grievances. She believed that many things should be left behind. It was pointless to argue about who was right or wrong anymore.

But at this moment, Audrey simply couldn't take it anymore. She asked coldly, "You think I'm ruining the Hayes family's reputation? Well, did you think about how I would cope when you left me alone at the wedding?"

A flicker of guilt flashed in Dominic's eyes as he explained softly, "I've already said this was an emergency at that time."

"Have you had fewer emergencies than me?" Audrey retorted coldly. "Do you want me to count how many times you left me for Eliza over the years?"

As memories flooded back, Dominic's face tightened, and he stumbled over his words, unable to speak.

Audrey met his gaze, her expression calm, her tone indifferent. "Dominic, what makes you think I would wait for you forever?"

In reality, Audrey had once poured her heart into him, only to have it shattered. Now, she just wanted to part ways amicably, hoping for no entanglements in the future.

"Dominic, me getting married isn't to get back at you! You should understand me. I'm not the kind of person who would act recklessly." Audrey said seriously.

Audrey continued, "I rushed into marriage simply because I realized that in your heart, I'm not as important as your family's reputation, nor am I more important than Eliza.

"I don't want to keep forcing myself to chase after a man whose heart isn't with me. I don't want a relationship filled with impurities."

Dominic clearly disagreed. Even if he felt guilty, he tried to explain stubbornly, "Audrey, my feelings for you are real."

But Audrey didn't give him a chance to speak. She added, "I believe you genuinely liked me at first. It's just that people's hearts can change. I don't blame you. But if you continue to cling to me, I will truly regret having met you."
