Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975 I Am Not the Bride

It was obvious that Audrey did not mean what she said.

However, she tried her best to make her tone seem calm. There was also a faint smile on her face

Gerald looked at her pretty face and sighed.

He knew Audrey had feelings for him. Indeed, he was aware of it. He knew about it the moment Audrey kissed him after he saved her.

Later on, Audrey’s insistence to become a Watchman also had something to do with Gerald

When she joined Night Watch, she showed her outstanding talent. In just two and a half years, she had reached the level of Half-Step Flame Decay. In terms of talent, she was already equal to members who had great talents like Gerald

“Thank you!” Gerald smiled. Audrey did not mention what happened back then, so he naturally had to pretend to be clueless about it as well.

Now that he had confirmed that he was going to marry Valery, it was natural for him not to think about other people anymore.

“When is the wedding? Why didn’t you invite me personally? You’re not being thoughtful,” Audrey said as she punched Gerald briefly.

“The date hasn’t been decided yet. If it’s decided, I’ll definitely invite you,” Gerald said.

“Forget it then.” Audrey smiled again before adding, “I’m just trying to see if you’re being thoughtful. I don’t have time to attend it for the time being. Recently, I’ve been leading the members of my team on some missions, and several of them have reached the super level.”

After that, she continued, “Ever since I learned martial arts, I’ve found the path to my future. I think martial arts suits me best.” Audrey smiled and added, “By the way, I plan to go to Havotune with all of you in a few months!”

Gerald frowned. He had agreed to let Audrey join Night Watch because he wanted to keep her safe. He did not expect Audrey to get to this level either.

Now, Audrey was an important member of the next generation of American Night Watch right after Gerald and Triston.

“You haven’t reached the level of Flame Decay yet. Moreover, we’ll be in great danger the next time we go there,” Gerald said with a frown.

The next time they were to go to Havotune, Gerald would most likely start a war with the Four Ancient Families. By then, the City of Phoenix would become a battlefield, and the ability of a Half-Step Flame

Decayer for self-protection would not be enough.

“I’m just going there with all of you. I think martial arts there are flourishing, and I want to find my own path.”

Audrey then added, “When I reach the level of Flame Decay, I’ll fight alongside all of you.”

Gerald looked at Audrey and the former said with a frown, “You have to ask Mr. Herman about this. That world is not as simple as you think. Even now, there are many things I don’t understand. I just know a little about it. It’s too risky for you to go there now. No matter what, you can think about going there after you reach the level of Flame Decay.”

“My father already agreed to let me go,” Audrey said with a smile. After that, she added, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask him when you get married.”

Gerald looked at Audrey.

“Don’t worry. I’m no longer the ignorant girl I used to be. I can protect myself,” Audrey replied.

Beep, beep, beep.

Just then, her phone rang. Audrey picked it up and spoke into it. Then, she stood up. “All right, my team member has called me. I have to deal with some things first. I’ll see all of you when it’s time to leave.”

After saying that, she reached out and shook Gerald’s hand. Then, she turned around and walked away.

There was a hint of tears brimming in her eyes.

She tried her best not to show any emotions throughout the whole process, but when she turned around, she

nearly could not hold back her emotions anymore.

Then, when she took two steps forward, she felt her vision getting blurry……

Gerald sighed as he watched her leave. Then, he stood up and walked in the opposite direction.

After taking a few steps, Audrey stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Gerald’s back. She murmured.

“If… If I had joined Night Watch earlier, if I could stay by your side all the time, maybe you would have been
