I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 437: The Delegation

Catherine harbored a secret, worried about something she had feared for over twenty years. Was it finally going to happen?

She knew something others didn't. Her husband, Darcy DuMont, had another wife in Auroraville over twenty years ago.

Catherine feared what Darcy might remember, which could complicate matters.

As Stella had predicted, when Darcy fell into the river back then, he suffered a severe head injury from hitting a rock, resulting in amnesia.

His face was disfigured, and to save him, Catherine had him undergo plastic surgery.

Darcy DuMont, intrigued by what Lucien mentioned before ending the call, asked, "Son, this woman, what does she look like? She's French too, that's quite a coincidence. Show me her photo." Hearing this, Catherine felt a sudden pang of headache and held her forehead, "Darcy, my head hurts."

"It's hurting again; let me get you some medicine," Darcy's attention was diverted.

Lucien, on the other end, expressed concern, "Mother, take care of yourself."

"Yes, it's nothing serious, just need to rest a bit. Let's not talk anymore," Catherine ended the call, fearing Darcy might continue to inquire.

Catherine lay down to rest, while Darcy brought her medicine. After taking it, she reassured him, "I'm feeling much better, don't worry."

Darcy, a man in his fifties, still possessed a noble and majestic demeanor, often regarded as a dream figure among noble circles. Age only added to his charm.

Darcy and Catherine touched foreheads, a model couple in the royal family, deeply in love.

"I'm fine," Catherine assured, holding Darcy's face. "Darling, please don't go, let Prince Larey handle the condolence visit."

"The delegation list is already finalized, it can't be changed," Darcy kissed her hand. "I'll return as soon as possible."

"Then I'll go with you," Catherine, fearful yet guilty, wanted Darcy to bid farewell to Bianca.

Darcy was concerned, "But your health..."

"It's fine, I can manage. I haven't seen our son in a long time, and I've never been to Auroraville. I'd like to see it," Catherine pleaded gently.

Convinced by her tenderness, Darcy agreed, "Alright, rest now. I'll prepare the delegation."

"Okay," Catherine watched him leave, her mind drifting back twenty-six years.

She had lied earlier; she had been to Auroraville.

Twenty-six years ago, she personally went to Auroraville to bring back Darcy DuMont.

When she found him, Darcy was reluctant to leave Auroraville, where he had married under the name Darcy DuMont and had a daughter.

Their daughter was lost shortly after birth, and Darcy was desperate to find her and planned to take Bianca back to France, offering her the status of a princess.

During his search, Darcy had an accident, and Catherine found him, seizing the opportunity to bring him back to France.

Recalling her son's recent words, Catherine wondered if her husband's lost daughter had been found.

What about Bianca?

Catherine was restless, fearing Darcy's reaction if he learned the truth.

Darcy and Bianca never had their final meeting.

Fearful of returning to Auroraville, yet guilty, Catherine hoped Darcy could bid farewell to Bianca.

For over twenty years, Darcy had never recalled his time in Auroraville, and the lie had persisted just as long.

After Bianca's funeral, Meredith mostly stayed at home, going nowhere.

When Terrence Sterling returned, she was willing to walk with him in the garden.

They reported daily on the restaurant's situation, which was thriving with reservations booked until the end of the month.

The restaurant featured three performances daily by dancers recommended by Azure, who also choreographed several dances to promote the venue. Dining and dancing had proven lucrative for Meredith.

One day, Meredith finally decided to visit the restaurant, accompanied by Selene.

Her pregnancy made it difficult to walk far without tiring.

After speaking with Terrence Sterling, she noticed a notification on her phone.

The French delegation had arrived in Auroraville, accompanied by a photo of local government heads welcoming Prince Darcy DuMont off the plane. Meredith recognized the man in the photo as the same Darcy DuMont Lucien had shown her.
