The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 48

I looked at the sky. Has the sun risen from the Spencer?

“No need.” I immediately refused.

Aubrey’s face was already grim, and hearing my rejection made it even more unpleasant. “It’s not easy to get a taxi here. Why would you let the child endure the cold wind with you?”

I obviously won’t stand here enduring the cold wind. I had driven here. But it wouldn’t be safe to let Iris sleep on the car seat at will. Considering this, I finally stopped and followed Aubrey into his car.

I noticed the wound on Aubrey’s hand, and when he was about to open the car door for me, I stopped him. “Why don’t we switch places? You help me hold Iris in the back.”

“You know how to drive?” Surprise showed on Aubrey’s face.

I didn’t just “know” how to drive. After four years in the Spencer family, Aubrey didn’t even know that I could drive, which was enough to show how little attention he paid to me. I didn’t say much, just nodded and took the keys from him.

Aubrey didn’t say anything and got into the car. When I handed Iris to him, he was completely awkward.

“Holding her head is enough.”

Aubrey raised his arms a bit higher, supporting the little head against his chest. He didn’t dare to move. When he looked down and saw the rosy face of the child leaning against his chest, with her hair flowing, a soft sensation passed through his heart.

I remained silent, got into the car, and skillfully started the engine. Not wanting Aubrey to know my location, I drove to a convenient spot to call a taxi and then stopped. “We’re here, thank you.”

After saying that, I hugged Iris from his arms and walked away.

“Navier!”

From behind, Aubrey called my name. “I owe Iris, and I will make it up to her, but my child will never need someone else as a father, that’s for sure!”

“I’m really curious, how will Mr. Aubrey make it up to Iris?” I stopped and half-smiling, looked at him.

“Tomorrow I will have our divorce quashed, you move back to the Spencer house, and I will try to spend as much time as possible with Iris.”

“Annulment of divorce?” Aubrey said this, and I was quite surprised. “Mr. Spencer made this decision, does Miss Willis agree?”

“Why would she agree?” Just confronting me, Aubrey’s tone becomes rather impatient.

"You two are engaged, this is the least respect for your fiancée."

When I got to kindergarten, Cathy showed me a picture of Aubrey at their engagement.

It is also because of that photo that parents all think that Cathy is Aubrey's legitimate wife.

“Huh? Engaging?” Aubrey was obviously surprised, but he didn’t bother much and said, “Just follow my instructions, you don’t need to worry about anything else!”

I have long been used to Aubrey’s arrogance. I didn’t get angry but tilted my head. “Then I have a question that you might care more about. Does Mr. Spencer want to cancel the divorce decision because you love me?”

“All I’m doing is to give my child a complete family!” Aubrey didn’t think much and threw out a warning.

“Just that?”

I burst into laughter in front of him.

“Do you really think having both parents is the best way for a child’s comprehensive development?”

“You’ve never experienced growing up in an incomplete family, so how would you know this type of family is not good?”

“Since I was young, I didn’t have a mother. My father raised me alone, but I’ve never felt pitiful.”

“He gave me all his love and only asked one thing from me, which is to live happily.”

"I'm really sorry, Aubrey. I just missed the old days, found this picture, and felt happy, so I posted it."

She hurriedly explained while secretly observing Aubrey's expression.

"Remembering it reminds me, it's all Navier's fault. If she hadn't spoken too quickly and made me unable to get on stage, we wouldn't have broken up..."

"The matter between you and me has never had anything to do with Navier." Aubrey coldly reminded.

Tonight, he didn't want to hear that name again.

"Besides, we broke up long ago. Now we're just friends."

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.

Behind him, Cathy tightly clenched her fingers, her beautiful face contorting.

Upon returning, she didn't mention anything about their relationship but silently plotted, waiting for the results.

She thought they both had the same plan, but now it's clear that Aubrey wants to clarify things between them.

Could it be that Navier set a trap?

As she was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.

Cathy was annoyed, but she still answered the call.

A slow and deliberate voice came from the other end, "Do you know what interesting thing I heard just now? Aubrey, with his cold demeanor, is now requesting his ex-wife to cancel the divorce application."

"Because of the feelings we've had for years, let me remind you, this time, don't let your man slip away again, okay?"
