A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 44

Because Nell had called her, Audrey didn't know how to face Bryson. So, when she heard footsteps outside, she subconsciously maintained the 'sleeping' posture.

Audrey's sense of hearing and other senses became even acuter when her eyes were closed.

As she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her bed step by step, she could even feel Bryson looking at her. That gaze was too sharp for her to ignore.

Subconsciously, Audrey clenched her palms.

Immediately, she felt a wind blowing across her cheeks. She felt like her pores were being brushed and it felt a little itching.

Audrey held back the desire to scratch it.

The next second, she figured it out. The windows of her room were closed. Where did the wind come from?

Immediately, Andrey smelled a unique smell. It was the smell of Bryson.

Bryson ... what is he doing?

She could feel his breath blowing on her face, more and more intense. It was his face getting closer and closer to her.

Andrey clenched her hands a little tighter with her back stiff, and she held her breath.

The breath was so close to her that his breath was almost entangled with hers. She felt like his nose was going to stick on her nose if getting any closer.

Just as Audrey's heart was beating faster and faster, the breath on her face suddenly disappeared.

A few seconds later, she heard someone asked,

"Mr. Bryson, routine test. Can I take this patient's temperature?"

Bryson replied, 'okay'. Then he took a step back, giving way to the nurse who came in.

The nurse placed the ear thermometer in Audrey's ear. With a little sound, the nurse withdrew the ear thermometer.

"36. 7 degrees Celsius. Her body temperature is normal."

After that, the nurse recorded it and went out.

After the nurse left, Audrey pretended to be disturbed and rolled over. She kept this sleep posture, with her back at Bryson.

Later, Bryson sat on the sofa and typed on his laptop. He did not disturb Audrey anymore, but a clear idea came in Audrey's mind.

Bryson ... wanted to kiss her just now.

However, the nurse came in and interrupted this.

Because Audrey was sleepy due to the medicines, she did fall asleep quickly.

When Audrey woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Bryson was no longer here.

She noticed there was a note on the pillow.

It was Bryson's handwriting.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Business emergencies. Call me if you need."

'It is better when he is gone.'

Audrey's phone rang.

The phone showed an unknown number.

Audrey picked up the phone with her eyebrows frowned, "Hello?"

"Hi, is this angel Koch?"

It was a male voice.

"I am. May I ask who you are?"

"Ms. Audrey, I am Edward Dow, the attorney of Ms. Blair," the man said straightforwardly.

As expected, Blair couldn't keep calm anymore.

Audrey curled her lips, smiling, "Oh, it's Mr. Edward. Hello, may I know what Mr. Edward is calling me for?"

"Ms. Audrey, can we have a meeting?"

"Sure!" Audrey agreed without any hesitation.

...

Audrey changed her clothes and left the ward. After leaving the hospital, Audrey took a taxi to the place where she had appointed with Edward.

They made an appointment at a teahouse.

Audrey turned her phone on the vibration mode when she saw Edward.

Edward had already arrived before her arrival.

Edward was a middle-aged man in his late forties. He wore a pair of golden-rimmed glasses, with two small and shrewd eyes underneath.

At the moment of seeing Audrey, Edward stood up immediately, smiling. Then he pulled out a chair for Audrey.

"Ms. Audrey, please sit down!"

"Thank you!"

After Audrey sitting down, Edward sat down beside her.

Edward looked at Audrey with admiration, "Who would have thought that the eloquent Audrey Koch on court would be such a young beauty?"

"Thank you, Mr. Edward, for your compliment. Mr. Edward has won countless lawsuits over the years. You are the true model of our generation." Audrey smiled.

"Ms. Audrey is so modest. Many youths like Audrey Koch have exceeded the predecessors. I'm afraid there won't be any place for us old on court in the future."

"You are being modest! Everyone in Peace City has heard about Mr. Edward. You're embarrassing me saying like this."

Edward picked up the ceramic tea-pot in his hand and poured two cups of tea. One cup was for himself, and the other was placed in front of Audrey.

"Ms. Audrey, have a taste. The long-term fermented tea in this teahouse is quite good."

Audrey sighed, "I'm afraid I can't have this."

"Why?"

"Meeting Mr. Edward, I am under great pressure. You know, yesterday, I had a sudden gastroenteritis. My stomach is still not feeling well. I can't drink tea. Pure water is good for me."

"In that case, Ms. Audrey must take care of your body."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Edward."

Edward's eyes turned slightly.

"Actually, there's no need for Ms. Audrey to be so worried. As long as this case is solved, you will naturally be relaxed."

"My rival is you, Mr. Edward. I dare not be relaxed." Audrey smiled and took a sip of water.

"There's always a lot of pressure in our business. It can't be solved overnight, but..." Edward changed the topic. "Now, I have a way to solve all your problems completely."

Audrey raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? I wonder what method Mr. Edward has?"

"If Ms. Audrey can let my client win this lawsuit, my client will give you this amount!" Edward took out a piece of paper that he had prepared beforehand, with a number on it, and pushed it to Audrey.

Eight hundred thousand. It was really a large amount.

"Oh? Mr. Edward means that you want me to lose the lawsuit by bribing me?" Audrey asked with a faint smile.

Edward's expression did not change. He explained calmly, "Don't make this too harsh. In marriage, women are always the weak. Why does a woman go hard with another woman?"

Audrey blinked innocently.

"Mr. Edward, I learned the law for the sake of justice, not just for sympathy."

Edward smiled.

"Ms. Audrey is really upright." Edward smiled at Audrey and said, "As it is, let's pretend we never had this conversation today."

"Alright."

...

Edward and Audrey parted in the teahouse amicably.

Before leaving, Audrey's eyes quietly turned in a specific direction in the darkness. She happened to see the reflection of the camera lens.

'Sorry, if you wanna play tricks with me, then I will fight you to the end.'

Edward drove off directly. Audrey stood on the roadside and took a taxi back to the hospital.

As soon as she returned to the hospital, she saw the nervous expression of those doctors and nurses on the ward's floor.

A nurse ran to tell the news happily when she saw Audrey come back, "The patient is back! The patient is back!"

Audrey didn't expect things would go like this.
