My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 6

Alistair's eyes widened as he locked onto her intense gaze, and he almost pressed the gas like it was the brake. The car shook unexpectedly, throwing Audrey off balance and yanking her back into her seatbelt.

Audrey took a moment to steady herself, patting her chest, and turned to glance at Alistair again. The look on his face told her everything she needed to know: something was definitely up.

With all that tension in the air, she wouldn't believe him if he said he wasn't dealing with some serious issues.

Even if he did have some problems in the bedroom, she honestly didn't care. Deep down, it made her a little bit happy. It was a relief because she didn't have to bother with the whole husband-and-wife duties. She would rather die than sleep with a stranger.

Alistair could tell what was going through her mind. He lowered his gaze and said, "Go ahead and open the storage box in front of you."

Audrey wondered how their conversation had shifted so suddenly from the hidden illness to the storage box. 'Did I really manage to guess what he's being hiding?' she wondered.

Feeling a bit confused, Audrey bent down and opened the storage box anyway.

Alistair urged her, "Go on, open the file bag." Fortunately, he had just had a full body checkup after arriving in Riverdale, and the report was still in the car.

When Audrey pulled out the file, her eyes widened in surprise. It was a medical report. Every single test result was thorough and showed that he was completely healthy.

'How can there be no issues?' Audrey thought, feeling a bit lost.

Just then, the red light flickered, and Alistair glanced back at her, a smirk forming on his lips. "If you're still unsure, you could always check it yourself."

'Check it myself?' she thought, feeling her cheeks flush as some inappropriate images crossed her mind. Quickly covering her face with her hands, she pushed herself to respond calmly, "No, it's fine. I believe you."

Glancing at the Audrey's flushed ears, Alistair felt a wave of his earlier gloom wash away. He stifled a laugh and admitted, "There isn't anything wrong with me. It's mostly because my family is pushing me into it. And then there's another reason."
