Chapter 695: She Called Audrey Mom
Audrey’s return stirred many people. Harvey, who had spent the entire night with Terrence without seeing anyone, hurried over to Ravenwood upon hearing the news. Leyton, who lived in the backyard, came to the front yard to see if Meredith, who had been missing for over half a year, had really returned. Prince Darcy, upon learning that his daughter was alive and back, rushed to Ravenwood with Lady Catherine.
Terrence played with Audrey and their daughter for a while before realizing that everyone was downstairs waiting to see if Meredith had truly returned. He then went downstairs with Audrey and their daughter. Terrence held Little Lucky while Audrey followed behind him. The three of them descended the stairs together.
In the living room, everyone turned towards the spiral staircase when they heard the sound. Seeing Audrey’s face and the family of three standing together, they finally believed that Meredith had returned.
Prince Darcy was the most excited. “Meredith, I’m your father…” While waiting, Grandma Sterling had briefly explained the situation to everyone. They all knew that Meredith was now called Audrey and had lost her memory.
Audrey looked at Prince Darcy. Although she had no memories in her mind, she felt a sense of closeness in her heart. She instinctively called out, “Dad.” This single word brought tears to Prince Darcy’s eyes and made Grandma Sterling take another look at Audrey.
Audrey’s expression and tone made everyone feel that the old Meredith was back. The elderly lady couldn’t tell if it was an illusion or reality. Prince Darcy stepped forward and hugged Audrey tightly, tears streaming down his face. “Meredith, you’re alive! I’m so happy! Thank God, my daughter is still alive.”
Azure’s gaze fell on Audrey, finding it hard to believe she was truly alive. Reese was moved to tears by this touching scene. “Azure, it’s wonderful! Meredith is really back. I knew it; God wouldn’t be so cruel. Someone as good as Meredith is surely blessed by heaven.” Reese started crying out of happiness.
Harvey found it miraculous and murmured to himself, “My God, surviving a typhoon takes incredible luck.” Azure agreed, “Yes, it’s truly fortunate that Meredith is back.”
Audrey’s return brought joy to everyone; their faces were filled with happiness. Harvey said, “Today is a great day; we should celebrate with fireworks and a feast.” Terrence’s eyes were full of love as he looked at Audrey. “We must celebrate. Let’s buy fireworks now and have everyone stay for dinner.”
Although there weren’t many people, Audrey felt overwhelmed by the little memory she had and her inexplicable closeness to Little Lucky and Prince Darcy. Terrence noticed her unease and suggested she play upstairs with Little Lucky before dinner.
Everyone understood Audrey’s situation and refrained from asking too many questions. They were just glad she was back and tried to calm their emotions. While others chatted downstairs, Azure glanced upstairs but didn’t go up as Grandma Sterling pulled her aside to talk about her personal life and potential suitors.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Reese felt a bit reserved at Ravenwood; for her, the Sterling family represented the pinnacle of wealth and status. It was her first time there, and she found everything incredibly luxurious-every decoration more opulent than those seen on TV.
Upstairs, Audrey played with Little Lucky. She sat on a soft mat without shoes while Little Lucky built blocks. Suddenly, Little Lucky stopped playing and walked towards Audrey.
“Rowan, what’s wrong?” Audrey asked gently.
Little Lucky lay down in Audrey’s arms, resting her head near Audrey’s heart. She closed her eyes and placed her small hand on Audrey’s stomach, patting it lightly while murmuring, “Mommy.”
The word “Mommy” made Audrey’s nose tingle with emotion as she hugged Little Lucky tightly, feeling an overwhelming softness in her heart. “Rowan, I am Mommy.”
“Mommy,” Little Lucky kept calling out while snuggling against Audrey’s chest.
Terrence came upstairs to bring something for Audrey and saw this scene at the door. A smile appeared on his face.
