Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 253: I’ll Wait for You

Audrey Sutton pouted and glared at him, "You always say I’m ugly. How am I ugly?"

Saying this, she moved in front of him, walking backward while facing him, "Look, where is your wife ugly?"

Shane Warner shot her a glance and reached out to grab her arm, pulling her to his side, "Walk properly."

Only when Audrey turned her head did she realize she had almost bumped into a passing bicycle.

With a change in demeanor, Audrey hooked his arm and said with a bright smile, "Besides, didn’t you say you liked ugly girls?"

Shane replied, "So you’re admitting that you’re ugly?"

Audrey said, "Ugly or not, it doesn’t matter as long as you like me."

Shane withdrew his arm from her grip in disdain and said, "I don’t like you."

Audrey huffed and muttered under her breath, "Stupid man."

...

After Audrey left, Barry Barrett had a cosplay photo shoot, and by the time it ended, it was already past seven in the evening.

Nolan Hawke had suggested they have dinner together later, so after removing her makeup and changing her clothes, Barry sat in the reception area of the lobby waiting for Nolan.

It wasn’t until after eight that Nolan finished his matters and came down from upstairs, "You must be starving, right? Let’s go have dinner."

Barry smiled, "I’m not tired at all. You’re the one working late every day, that’s tiring."

Nolan chuckled softly, "I’m used to it. Plus, when you’re doing what you love, it doesn’t feel that exhausting."

"Yeah, turning a hobby into a career is really great."

"I’ve seen your cosplay photos before. I didn’t expect you to have so much experience; you could be a professional model."

Barry laughed shyly, "Not really, I just know a little bit."

"I noticed your posing and the look in your eyes were spot-on. I didn’t have to say much, and you achieved the effect I wanted. There aren’t many models who sync with me so well."

Hearing this, Barry was happy inside, but still appeared a bit bashful.

"Wait for me by the roadside. I’ll go get the car."

"...I’ll go with you."

Nolan paused, then nodded and smiled at her, "Alright, walking in high heels must be tough, huh?"

"It’s okay. I didn’t walk much today."

Nolan said, "I’ve got some things to do tomorrow, so the final photos might take a couple of days. I’ll send them to you when they’re ready."

Barry said, "No rush, no rush, I’m not a paying customer. You can finish your work before editing the photos."

Nolan replied, "Usually, my staff edits the photos, but I really like these sets we did today, so I want to edit them myself."

Barry nodded with a forced smile, "Actually, I looked at today’s photos, and I thought they looked good even without retouching."

"Indeed, you both look great. There’s not much heavy editing needed, just adjustments," Nolan said, then asked Barry, "By the way, is your friend the Third Young Master Warner’s wife?"

"Huh? Yes, she is. She mentioned wanting a traditional-style photoshoot for a while. Since you needed two models, I brought her along."

"She’s not very old, is she? Marrying so early."

Barry chuckled and answered, "She’s a few months younger than me. We were all shocked when she married the Third Young Master. One week she was single, and after the weekend, she came back married. I was stunned when I saw the news."

"And what about you? Any plans for marriage?"

Barry was taken aback and glanced at Nolan, unsure if he was probing for something. After a moment, she said, "Me... I plan to think about marriage after graduation."

Nolan immediately followed up, "I’ll wait for you."

Those three words made Barry’s heart skip a beat, and she felt a rush of excitement and joy.

Wasn’t this his confession to her? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

After showering, Audrey came out and saw that her group chat with her girlfriends had over 99 messages. She opened the voice messages and listened for about half an hour to finish them all.

Nolan had proposed to Barry, and Barry was overjoyed.

Flora Lane, with her extensive experience with men, advised Barry not to get too excited too soon and to observe Nolan more closely.

It wasn’t that she wanted to dampen her friend’s spirits, but based on her unfortunate experiences with men, Flora was offering Barry some advice.

If Nolan was being sincere, that was good. But if he was deceiving Barry, it was better to prepare for the worst-case scenario so Barry wouldn’t be too hurt if it happened.

Seraphina Vaughn had met Nolan once when he came to school to see Barry, and she had a favorable impression of him.

Firstly, he was good-looking, appeared gentle, and seemed to have a good temper.

Seraphina liked men with good tempers, so he scored high in her book.

Audrey thought about the strange events during the photoshoot today and felt she might have misunderstood.

After all, if Nolan proposed, he probably wasn’t just playing around. He wouldn’t give such a quick commitment to Barry otherwise.

After Barry shared her love life, Flora began talking about her "adventure."

She said that on her way to work using a shared bike today, she accidentally scratched a luxury car.

The car owner was a young guy, very handsome, and not only did he not ask for compensation, but he also asked if she was okay and if she needed to go to the hospital.

She described the guy as a gentle, warm-hearted man.

Seraphina jokingly asked her why she didn’t hitch a ride to the hospital to spend more time with the handsome guy.

Flora replied, "Why would I? If he decided to bill me, my next few months’ salary wouldn’t cover it. I’d have to run with my little bike; I didn’t have time to go to the hospital with him. Am I crazy?"

Seraphina asked, "Where’s Audrey been? She hasn’t popped up all day."

Flora said, "Where could she be? Probably rolling around in bed with her husband. No time for us single folks."

Barry said, "I’m not single."

Seraphina said, "You two shouldn’t come back to the dorms anymore."

Flora asked, "Bear, are you spending the night out with your man, not coming back?"

Barry said, "Not at all, I’m in his car right now, almost back to school."

Seraphina said, "Wow, having fun, first time and you’re already in the car."

Flora said, "Tsk tsk, just thinking about it sounds exciting."

After listening, Audrey finally replied, "I just took a shower, and you guys ended up with 99+ messages."

Seraphina said, "Audrey’s here, Barry, let Audrey share some car experience with you."

Audrey jokingly replied, "I’m reporting you guys."

Barry said, "I’m going to report you two as well, always driving crazy."

Flora said, "I can understand Audrey reporting me, but who are you, Bear, the experienced driver, going to report?"

Barry said, "You think Audrey’s innocent? Even if she was before, her husband has probably taught her all sorts of things by now."

"Knock, knock—" At the next moment, Shane walked in after briefly knocking on the door.

Audrey didn’t know what the point of his knocking was when he just walked right in.
