Chapter 4
Bryson briefly explained the situation of the Cordova family to Audrey.
Right now, Audrey was in the Cordova Mansion. Only Bryson and his grandmother lived here. Bryson's parents lived in another villa. Furthermore, they had recently gone abroad and would not return any time soon.
Bryson and Audrey came out of Bryson's study and went to Kylee's room.
Bryson knocked. "Grandma!"
"I said I won't eat. If Elliana doesn't come, I won't eat!"
"She's right outside the door."
"Stop fooling me. I don't believe you. If she comes, let her call me."
Bryson signaled to Audrey.
Audrey cleared her throat. "Grandma, it's me, Elliana. Open the door."
The silence in the room was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps, and the door handle moved, but the door did not open.
"You naughty girl, why don't come see me since you are in the city? You want me to open the door. No way."
Audrey rolled her clever eyes.
"Grandma, if you don't open the door, then I'll leave."
The room quieted down, and Kylee did not say anything else.
Audrey continued, "I am leaving."
Just as Audrey finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened. Kylee dashed out and grabbed Audrey's wrist with great strength as if she was afraid that if she let go, Audrey would leave.
"Don't you dare!" Kylee glared at Audrey.
Audrey was touched as she saw the angry but affectionate look in Kylee's eyes, for she was reminded of her own grandma.
Audrey grabbed Kylee's hand and smiled charmingly, "Since you have come out, of course, I won't leave."
Kylee shook off Audrey's hands and turned around.
"If I hadn't threatened Bryson with a hunger strike, I don't think you would come to see me."
"Grandma, I've been busy."
"What's there to be busy with for a young girl like you."
"I need to work. Although our family is rich, I want to realize my own value."
Kylee softened.
She touched Audrey's face, feeling sorry for her little granddaughter.
"Work is OK. But don't get too tired. Look at you. You are skinny."
Audrey took Kylee's hand and blinked her bright eyes.
"So, grandma, you're not mad at me anymore?"
"How can I be really mad at you? From now on, you have to move back!"
Move into the Cordova's?
Audrey said nervously, "Grandma, I am very busy with my work now. I am living near the company. It is not convenient to move back. However, I promise that I will come back to see you often."
"But..."
Bryson interrupted Kylee at the right time.
"Grandma, Elliana is back. Can you have lunch now?"
Kylee immediately forgot what she had just said. She covered her empty stomach and said, "I'm really hungry. Let's go and eat."
During dinner, Kylee brought up the matter of Audrey moving back again. Audrey and Bryson cooperated and finally persuaded Kylee to give up.
Although Kylee agreed that Audrey could live outside, she had one condition. Tonight, Audrey had to stay at home.
Audrey had to agree.
Audrey stayed in the same guest room that she woke up in the morning.
The servants of the Cordova family were efficient. When Audrey returned to her room, all the toiletries in the room had been prepared.
After washing her face, Audrey lay on the bed. She looked at the ceiling above her head and pressed her fingers on her somewhat sour and swollen temples.
She still found what happened today unbelievable.
She could not believe that she would actually agree with Bryson on such an absurdity.
However, since she was here, she should be at ease.
...
After a brief rest, Audrey began to study the domestic legal code.
In the evening, a servant knocked on the door and called her for dinner.
Audrey closed the book and went out.
When they arrived at the dining room, Kylee was already waiting there.
Kylee said the moment she saw Audrey.
"Elliana, go upstairs and ask your brother for dinner. He said that he would come down after getting dressed. But he hasn't come down yet."
Audrey didn't know how to reply.
The servants were busy, and Audrey had to brave it and return upstairs.
The door was open. Audrey leaned forward while knocking on the door.
"Mr. Bryson, Grandma sent me. Dinner is ready."
No response. She thought he wasn't in the room.
But since Grandma had given her a task, she pushed the door wide open and walked in to make sure. Indeed, she was the only one in the room, but sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. He
was taking a shower.
Audrey blushed. How could he leave the door open while taking a shower?
She shouted towards the bathroom. "Mr. Bryson, are you done? Grandma wants you to go downstairs to have dinner."
Still, he didn't answer.
Audrey was worried. Did he have an accident?
She became anxious. She walked forward and knocked on the door. "Mr. Bryson?"
Still, nothing.
Her worry grew. If he passed out during the shower, it could be fatally dangerous. It would take too long to go ask for help.
Thinking of this, she tried turning the doorknob. The door opened. Relieved, she pushed the door open and walked in.
The room was steamy. She saw no one. The water in the tub rippled.
Did he faint in the tub?
She paled at the thought. She darted to the tub and reached into the tub. "Mr. Bryson!" she called worriedly.
Soon, she touched hard and smooth muscles. Then, a strong arm wrapped around her waist.
The next minute, she felt the whole world was spinning as water splashed everywhere.
When she came to her senses, she found herself in the tub, drenching wet
To be exact, she was on top of him in the tub with her hands on his sexy chest.
Bryson sat up, the upper part of his body out of the water. He wiped the water off his face and asked, "What are you doing?"
Nervous and embarrassed, Audrey blushed and paled alternately.
"I... Grandma sent me. Dinner is ready. I thought you had an accident," she explained, her voice trembling. "I called several times, but you didn't answer."
"I was diving. How could I hear you?"
Audrey was depressed. "Since you're fine, I'm going. Enjoy your bath."
She looked somewhere straight. She didn't dare to look down.
In the clear water, he must be naked. It occurred to her when she reached the tub, but anxious to make sure he was okay, she didn't have time to care about that.
Now, she felt devoured by shame and embarrassment.
And his arm was still around her waist. The intimate touch of skin sent a shiver all over her body. She didn't dare to move.
Little did she know that Bryson felt no better than her.
Audrey was wearing a short T-shirt. After getting wet, it stuck to her skin. He could clearly see the outline of her plump breasts. Her prone position made it even easier for him to look.
The water beads on her long delicate neck and chest made her more alluring.
What was killing him was that she was straddling him. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Her legs were trembling with shame and nervousness, coming in touch with his naked body. He could hardly suppress the urge to push her down and make love to her wildly then and there.
"Mr. Bryson, could you please let go?" Audrey said with crimson cheeks.
Bryson's Adam's apple bobbed. He withdrew his arm. Unexpectedly, the tub was too slippery. As she was trying to stand up, she fell again and ended up prostrating over him, their bodies tightly pressing against each other.
Eyes wide open, Audrey stared at the handsome face so close to her in disbelief.
Bryson grunted, the look in his eyes dimming.
Her dumbstruck expression completely turned him on.
Audrey wished the floor would crack and swallow her immediately because she clearly felt that Bryson's private part was erected and was poking her.
Time seemed to have stopped in an instant.
Three seconds later, Audrey began making attempts to get out of the tub. During her struggle, she accidentally touched Bryson's body a million times, but she didn't have the time to care. She then finally got out with his help.
"I'm sorry!"
By the time she finished, she had already disappeared from the bathroom.
Bryson put on a faint smile.
When he got dressed and came out of the room, he saw Audrey coming out of her room with fresh clothes.
Audrey did not dare to look directly at Bryson.
"…Grandma told me to call you downstairs for dinner."
"Alright."
Bryson walked ahead while Audrey followed behind him.
Looking at his back, Audrey recalled what had just happened. Shame and embarrassment haunted her.
...
In the dining room.
When Kylee saw Bryson and Audrey, her gaze landed on Audrey with surprise.
"Elliana, why are you blushing?"
Audrey was too embarrassed to answer.
Seeing that Audrey was silent, Kylee asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Audrey sensed Bryson's mischievous gaze and wished she could find a way to get into the seam.
"Grandma, I'm fine. I just feel a little hot today."
Audrey even fanned herself with her hand to show that she was really hot.
"Is it hot? But it rained this afternoon, and the temperature has dropped by ten degrees." Kylee wore a suspicious look.
Audrey got stuck.
