Rebirth and Finding the One Truly Loves Me

Chapter 366 Audra, what were you implying? At the entrance of the villa, in a dimly lit area, stood two tall and remarkable figures. A few minutes ago, Sterling, who was getting ready to return to the villa, encountered Shawn standing here.

Shawn was wearing a blue striped shirt with the top three buttons undone, revealing faint scratch marks underneath. He casually slipped one hand into his pocket, exuding an elegant and sophisticated demeanor with a hint of mysterious sensuality.

Sterling immediately recognized what had happened to this guy. “What's the matter, coming to show off to me?” Sterling spoke with a less than pleasant expression.

Under the golden silk-framed phoenix eyes, Shawn’s gaze was as cold as jade. He pursed his thin lips and said in a low voice, “Have you ever seen a woman who takes a hundred dollars and runs away after wiping everything clean?”

Ss

he only worth a hundred bucks?

Shawn's words pleased Sterling, and a faint smile curved his lips. “Don’t try to act innocent after taking advantage!” Based on Sterling’s understanding of Shawn, everything today was probably carefully planned by him.

Why did Hannah consider him as the antidote then?

Chapter 36 Audra, what we you implying

“Did you really plan to marry her?”

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the villa, and a slender and delicate figure hurriedly came out from inside.

Shawn watched as she walked quickly, as if there was a ferocious woman with a flood behind her. With a cold gaze, he said, “I am actually looking forward to seeing her expression when she finds out that | am the one she is marrying.”

Sterling tugged at the corner of his lip and said, “She left in such a hurry, obviously avoiding you, not wanting any further interaction with you.”

Shawn chuckled and slender, fair fingers pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. “She doesn’t have a say in that.” “As far as | know, the Goodwin family intended to arrange a marriage between you and Carla.”

Shawn obviously didn’t care about this matter. “The Goodwin family doesn’t lack heirs. As long as | give up the position of heir, | have the autonomy to marry whomever | want.”

Sterling was somewhat surprised to find out that Hannah held such a significant place in Shawn’s heart. The two of them chatted for a while and then went their separate ways.

Sterling returned to the villa and walked up to the front door. Hel gripped the large handle, slightly tightening his grip and applying more pressure.

sier you implying?

After several seconds, he finally pushed the door open.

He thought Audrey was not in this room, but as the door opened, he saw her sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Perhaps hearing a noise, Audrey, sitting on the couch with her hands wrapped around her knees, slightly lifted her head and saw Sterling at the door. The two locked eyes.

She realized it first, got up from the sofa, and ran towards him, “You're back?” In the clear and bright deer eyes, there was worry and nervousness towards him. Sterling raised his kn obby hand and gently patted her head, “I worried you.”

Audrey looked at the lingering crimson in his eyes, and her heart felt as if it was tightly gripped by an invisible hand. She stepped forward and embraced his strong waist, saying, “I don’t know. what happened to you in the past, but | will not dislike you. Besides, you have Eden, Mr. Goodwin, and a few good brothers. You need to believe in yourself.”

If Audrey had experienced a psychological trauma in her childhood, she knew it would be a lifelong psychological shadow for her. It was not an easy task to cure him.

In addition to finding the root cause of his injury, there needs to be more understanding and accommodation towards him.

Looking at the soft and obedient girl in his arms, Sterling felt a sudden and intense contraction in his chest.

Being with him, she couldn’t live a relaxed and joyful life. He was like a madman, always ready to explode, and whenever he did, she would get hurt too.

Perhaps sensing his guilt and self-blame, Audrey lifted her little face and rubbed against his firm jaw. “Don’t think about pushing. me away again, otherwise, | won’t turn back — um!”

He directly used his actions to shut her little mouth.

Thinking about how he had almost mistreated her in the alley. earlier, he felt like a jerk and a monster. This kiss was different from the previous ones, filled with tenderness and compassion.

Audrey clutched his black shirt with her small hand, responding to him with a touch of innocence.

After a while, he slowly released her and pressed his forehead against hers. His voice was low and h oa rse as he said, “When | was a child, | endured more abuse and torment than the little boy in the movies.”

“At that time, emotions suddenly got out of control and erupted.” He stared at Audrey with his dark, piercing eyes, as if trying to see through her soul. “Sometimes | feel like I’m terrifying, Audrey. Are you afraid of me?”

A few short sentences that shocked and saddened Audrey.

experiences, he told her that his experiences were even more terrifying than the little boy in the movie..

When Audrey was watching the movie, her heart clenched. tightly at the sight of the little boy being abused. She couldn't imagine how Sterling, who had experienced even more pain and torment than the little boy, managed to survive.

Audrey looked into his dim and unclear eyes, h ooked her hands. around his neck, tiptoed, and took the initiative to kiss his thin lips.

“If | were afraid of you, | wouldn’t be standing in front of you right now.”

She looked into his deer-like eyes, clear and bright, like a lake in autumn, pure and pristine, with ripples of blue waves, without a trace of fear or dread towards him, instead, filled with sparkling starlight.

Sterling’s throat bobbed up and down as the large hand around her waist tightened slightly. “With that look, you want me to devour you.”

Audrey saw the burning and danger in his eyes, realizing he was not joking. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away, saying, “Go take a shower.”

Sterling raised an eyebrow and said, “Audra, what are your implying?”

Audrey glared at him and said, “If you don’t start taking things seriously, | will get angry.” Sterling pressed his tongue against his cheek and muttered,

Chapter 2-4 Audra, what wem you implying?

“Da mn it, how am | worse than Eden and Shawn? How did they...”

Audrey caught the information in Sterling’s words and her eyes widened suddenly. “Mr. Goodwin? The man you mentioned about Hannah, could it be Mr. Goodwin?”

Audrey's mind was in a mess, she couldn’t figure out how to bring Shawn and Hannah together. Did these two people have any intersection?

However, it immediately occurred to me that the Goodwin family is quite influential, and it is highly likely that Shawn has made investments in the film industry. Therefore, it is not surprising that he knows Hannah.

Did Hannah say tonight that she slept with a man again? | hope that man isn’t Mr. Goodwin. Audrey's mind worked quickly, and she quickly analyzed the situation.

She grabbed Sterling’s arm as he tried to enter the bathroom, her delicate face tensed up, and she asked seriously, “Hannah. said the waiter delivered the wrong wine. Was it Mr. Goodwin who instructed him to do so?”

Sterling grabbed Audrey's hand and pulled hard, dragging her into the bathroom.

The tall man pressed her against the wall with his cold, handsome face approaching her. “We shouldn't interfere in other people’s emotions, right?”

With that, his lips were about to fall. The next second, he was ruthlessly and mercilessly stepped on. by the girl. Sterling furrowed his brow and took a sharp breath, “Audrey!”

Audrey angrily pushed Sterling away, her previously soft and gentle demeanor suddenly turning cold and assertive. “You men are truly despicable!”

Without waiting for Sterling to say anything, Audrey turned around and ran outside.

With a bang, the door was closed.

When Sterling came out, Audrey had already entered the room previously occupied by Hannah and locked the door. Sterling licked his upper teeth and wished he could pull Shawn out right now and give him a beating.

After Audrey locked the door, she walked a few laps in the

room.

My mind was in a complete mess.

Obviously, Hannah didn’t know that the person she slept with. had intentionally set her up. She was still feeling guilty and anxious, afraid that the man would cause trouble for her.

| don’t know how long Shawn had been plotting against Hannah, but he used such a trick that made Hannah fall into a trap! r

Chapter 366 Audra, what

you implying?

Audrey took out her phone and called Hannah.

Audrey revealed that Shawn had very likely designed her thing..

After listening, Hannah remained silent for a long time before. slowly speaking, “He probably did it to retaliate for me humiliating him three years ago and slapping him! Anyway, | forced myself on him, so | don’t consider it a loss.”

Seeing Hannah's optimistic attitude, Audrey also breathed at sigh of relief.

After talking for a while, the two of them ended the call.

Late at night.

Audrey, who was sound asleep, did not notice a figure slowly approaching the edge of the bed.

Taking advantage of the moonlight outside the window, the man stared at her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face for a long time.

Suddenly, a long arm stretched out and lifted her h orizontally. from the bed.

The girl in his arms whimpered and buried her little face into his strong and broad chest, sleeping even more soundly. The next day.

Audrey was awakened by a sudden vibration from her phone.

The buzzing sound echoed in her ears like a bee, and she closed

her eyes, reaching out in a daze towards the direction of the vibration.

She touched the phone and thought it was hers. In a drowsy state, she pressed the answer button.

“Hello?”

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to pause for a moment, and didn’t speak for a while.

Just when Audrey thought the other person had hung up the phone, a woman’s voice came from the other end, “Is this Sterling’s phone?”

Audrey suddenly opened her eyes, glanced at the phone in her hand, and realized something was wrong. She quickly turned around.

She didn’t know when she had sneaked into Sterling’s bedroom, with a sleeping man lying behind her. He held her slender waist, her back pressed against his chest, and the two of them were intimately close.

Audrey had a moment of blankness in her mind. When she realized, she quickly placed the walkie-talkie next to Sterling’s ear and nudged him with her elbow. Sterling buried his face into the back of Audrey's neck, his voice husky with the remnants of sleep, “Can we sleep a little longer?”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Audrey's scalp felt a little numb. The person on the other end of the phone should be her elder, right? The voice sounded somewhat cold and stern.

Ill “Your phone.”

Sterling’s dark and deep narrow eyes slightly opened, squinting at the phone screen for a moment. His face suddenly changed, without saying a word, he hung up the phone and pulled Audrey back into his arms.

Audrey was being held so tightly by him that she could hardly. breathe. Unable to resist, she struggled in his arms and ended up giving him a hard slap on the buttocks.

“Do you know the consequences of messing around?” His voice. was low and h oa rse, exuding a strong sense of danger.
