Semua Bab He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband : Bab 11 - Bab 20

AUDREY “Someone important?” I said, furrowing my brows as I turned to face Richard.“He's downstairs,” Sam replied. I nodded as Richard and I followed him to meet a middle-aged man on the couch holding a grey suitcase.“Mrs. Sinclair,” the man exclaimed as he stood on his feet, stretching his arm for a handshake. “I'm Taylor, your father's lawyer.”“Good evening, sir," I smiled as I received the handshake. "Thank God you came. I was about to call you, but I couldn't find your number.”“Good evening, sir,” Richard greeted, stretching for a handshake.Mr. Taylor forced a smile as he stared at Richard curiously. “You are?”“Richard Howard,” Richard smiled, “I'm her husband.”Mr. Taylor's eyes furrowed even more as he forced a smile. Then he turned to me. “Your father called me,” he said with a faint sigh, “I came as fast as I could.”“Great!” I said with optimism as I sat on the couch in front of him. “So, what do we do?”Mr. Taylor fell silent for a while as he stared at me. Then slow

AUDREY My eyes snapped open at the buzzing of my alarm clock. I twisted on my bed as I stretched to turn it off.I sat up, rubbing my temple as my eyes felt heavy. I couldn't sleep at night as the thought of previous nights clouded my mind like an impenetrable fog.“I have to see Mr. Taylor today,” I mused out loud as I sprang up to my feet. “And fix this mess.”Soon, I ambled out of my room and went downstairs to grab a snack, but then, the door opened and Claire staggered in, giggling.The moment she walked in, the stench of cigarettes and alcohol filled the air. She wore a short outfit that almost revealed her entire body; the kind of outfit that would make our dad kill us if wore it. I stared at her, stunned.“Claire?” I whispered. “Where are you coming from, looking like this?”She frowned. “Stop bothering me with questions! Are you my mother or what?”“Claire,” I sighed, my eyes heavy as I glared at her, “why are you living like this? I know you went to a strip club or some oth

KEVIN “Mr. Taylor Turner, you have a visitor.” the security guard said from the openig on the door. Taylor groaned, as he sat back upright on his chair. “I don't want to see anyone. Just get me out of…”That instant, his muscles stiffened as the guard opened the door. I walked in, a warm smirk on my face as I raised my head to him.Taylor's eyes drifted, following my every step. His heart pounded in his chest as his eyes flared as if he had seen a ghost.“It can't be…” he stuttered, his voice hanging in his throat, “K—Kevin?” “Hello… father.” I whispered glaring at him with a sneer. Taylor's hands trembled so violently that it was almost impossible not to notice.“What?” I chuckled, sliding my hands into my pocket. “Why are you shivering like you've seen a ghost?”Taylor swallowed hard as he tried to speak. “I… I was, I'm,” he stuttered, but then all of a sudden, he broke down and began to bawl his eyes out.My brows raised as I paused, puzzled. “What?” I snorted, “Why are you cryi

AUDREY The moment the door cracked open, my eyes fell on Richard as he stood in front of the door.“Richard,” I whispered, smiling back at him. “Hi.”“Hey,” Richard muttered as he pressed his lips against each other. “I saw your car drive in through the window. How did it go?”My shoulders sagged as I walked in and offered him a brief hug. “See for yourself,” I replied with a smirk.At that moment, the door cracked open again, and my father walked in, accompanied by Sam.Richard's eyes flung open as he stared at my dad before bowing his head slightly.“Good afternoon, Sir.” He greeted, as my dad approached him.“Come here, boy!” My dad laughed as he extended his arms wide for a hug. “I knew the moment I saw you that you were the best thing that ever happened to my daughter.”I forced a smile as my dad's eyes fell on me. Breaking apart, he stared into Richard's eyes. “My daughter told me how you worked hard to prove my innocence and get me out of prison, though technically, I wasn't

AUDREY The moment I stepped into my home, I went straight to the couch and sank into it, completely exhausted.A week had passed since the announcement of Mr. Taylor’s death, and though everyone else had moved on, I could not. The thought that he might have been innocent made my head ache each time. “Ma'am, are you okay?” Vickie said as she approached me, her eyes narrowing.“Yeah,” I whispered with a smile as I rubbed the side of my head. “Just get me a chilled drink, will you?”Vickie nodded, but just as she was about to leave, she turned.“Umm… ma'am,” she mused, her voice shaking nervously. “Today, I saw Kevin with your father.”My eyes widened instantly as I sat upright. “Kevin?" I murmured, "With my dad?" "Yes," she replied. “They came into the house, but I don't know if they've left or…”In a blur, Vickie's eyes widened, and she turned and left with her head bowed. My eyebrows furrowed at her sudden change of behaviour. Then I turned back and saw my dad approaching.“Dad?” I
