Chapter 1042 Audrey’s Trouble
Although Audrey was born into a wealthy family, Triston’s mother, Willa Lambert, had always been prejudiced against showbiz and therefore did not approve of Triston’s pursuit of Audrey.
In Willa’s opinion, female celebrities in the showbiz industry had always appeared in public, which was not like the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.
It was only after learning that Audrey and Triston might be together that she eagerly introduced Triston to girls in the first place. She didn’t realize that after all this time, her son still hadn’t given up on Audrey, and this was the first time she’d seen her son so attached to a girl.
If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t agree to appear at today’s dinner party now.
Triston led Audrey into the door, and everyone from the Lamberts had already arrived.
The scene of everyone sitting in the private room made Audrey feel a bit guilty. She looked guiltily at the crowd and whispered, “I’m sorry. I’m late.”
Triston’s father, Egbert Lambert, had always had a good relationship with the Swanns and had watched Audrey grow up, so he would be happy to accept it if she could get married to his youngest son. “It’s fine. Take a seat.”
After he said that, Triston’s elder brother immediately followed and chimed in, “Yes, it’s fine. We just arrived not long ago. Let’s all take our seats first.”
Willa wanted to say something to embarrass Audrey, but now that the two men in charge of the family had forgiven Audrey’s tardiness, she couldn’t say anything else.
Audrey sat down next to Triston.
At the table, Triston took good care of Audrey, which surprised his family a bit.
Triston’s family knew Triston very well. They knew that he was usually a bit of a jerk, and it was rare to see him being so attentive to someone for the first time.
Willa’s heart sank as she saw this. She guessed that Triston was really in love.
Egbert, however, smiled and said, “It looks like it won’t be long before our Lamberts can have another happy event.”
Audrey was originally drinking soup, and when she heard Egbert’s words, she almost spit the soup out. She blushed from choking, without any image, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.
She thought they were just having dinner and chatting casually tonight, she didn’t expect them to start talking about their marriage so soon.
It took her a while to get over it, and she looked up at Egbert with a serious face. “Mr. Egbert, we’re still young. There’s no rush on this.”
Her response caught Egbert a bit off guard. He hadn’t realized that someone as good at flirting with girls as Triston had not completely got Audrey’s heart yet.
Before Egbert could say anything, Willa was in a hurry. She raised her eyes toward Audrey. “You’re not still trying to tell us that you’re going to focus on your career and continue to work in showbiz next, are you?”
As soon as Willa started to speak, Audrey knew that her biggest trouble had come.
She grew up in a luxurious family since she was a child, so she naturally knew how serious the prejudice of the noblewomen and ladies of the luxurious family was toward showbiz. She knew that in those people’s eyes, actresses were a disgraceful profession.
Although everyone was equal nowadays, in some low-profile big families, they still didn’t like actors and actresses who worked in showbiz.
Since Willa mentioned this issue,
Audrey didn’t want to escape anymore. She looked at Willa with calm eyes. ” Being an actress and making movies is my job, just like Triston running a business. I won’t give up my career because of romance. Even if I were to get married, I have no plans to be a full- time housewife in the future.”
Audrey knew that would offend Willa, but she had no choice. She had to make things clear.
If Willa was really against it, then she could only think of another way.
