Chapter 108
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 108<\/p>\n
When Audrey said she wanted to buy groceries, she meant to do that alone. But Bryson got out of the car and walked towards the market. What was going on?<\/p>\n
However, Bryson was already waiting, and she couldn’t tell him to sit back in the car. So she just followed him.<\/p>\n
As soon as they entered the market, they heard the cries of the vendors and the sound of quarreling.<\/p>\n
It was a big market with all sorts of groceries. Stalls selling vegetables, aquatic products, and poultry were in different sections.<\/p>\n
Audrey spotted a stall offering fresh vegetables. Without thinking, she took Bryson’s hand and pulled him along towards the stall.<\/p>\n
“The vegetables over there look fresh.”<\/p>\n
Apart from studying case materials, cooking was also what Audrey enjoyed. Buying groceries could bring her pleasure, too. Her eyes lit up when she saw the fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n
Bryson was going to go straight ahead. Suddenly, Audrey took his hand. Looking at their hands, he raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
Audrey didn’t seem to notice this at all.<\/p>\n
She let go of Bryson’s hand when they reached the stall. And then she started to pick vegetables carefully.<\/p>\n
Bryson glared at the vegetables on the stall and frowned.<\/p>\n
He was a little jealous. It took him some effort to hold Audrey’s hand, yet the vegetables could enjoy her soft touch easily.<\/p>\n
Audrey, busying in picking vegetables, didn’t notice the change in Bryson’s expression.<\/p>\n
After picking out the vegetables she needed, Audrey handed them to the vendor to weigh.<\/p>\n
The vendor told them the total price. Bryson, standing beside Audrey, handed him the money.<\/p>\n
“What? I’ll pay!” Audrey hurriedly said.<\/p>\n
“I’ve paid. Also, what’s the difference?”<\/p>\n
The vendor took the money and handed the change to Bryson. He looked at them with a smile.<\/p>\n
“Sir, your wife is so pretty. You’re very lucky.”<\/p>\n
Bryson smiled and said, “Yes, I’m lucky.”<\/p>\n
Audrey didn’t know what to say.<\/p>\n
Before she could explain, Bryson pulled her away, with the bags in his hand.<\/p>\n
Audrey looked at Bryson awkwardly, “He misunderstood our relation. Why didn’t you explain?”<\/p>\n
“There’s no need to explain. Why waste my breath?”<\/p>\n
Words failed Audrey.<\/p>\n
He had a point. Still, it didn’t feel right. She couldn’t help feeling he had taken advantage of her.<\/p>\n
“What else do you want to buy?”<\/p>\n
“Grandma likes chicken. But most chicken available is not very fresh. Let’s go and buy some fish. I saw the stalls selling fish. I’ll cook sweet and sour squirrel fish tonight.”<\/p>\n
“OK.”<\/p>\n
After buying a fish, they walked towards the car.<\/p>\n
When they got to the car, Audrey felt in her pocket and hurriedly handed the fish to Bryson.<\/p>\n
“Take this.”<\/p>\n
Bryson grabbed Audrey’s hand and asked, “What’s wrong?”<\/p>\n
“I left my badge at the stall we bought fish. I’ll go back and get it. I’ll be right back.”<\/p>\n
“I’ll go with you.”<\/p>\n
Maria said excitedly, “You’re still alive! I thought you were gone. Oh, I’m so glad!”<\/p>\n
Audrey let go of Maria, looking into her tearful eyes. Audrey was distressed and wiped the tears off Maria’s face.<\/p>\n
“Something happened to me back then, but I survived. Maria, you are so thin now.”<\/p>\n
Maria sighed, still weeping. “No, look at you! You’re thin. You used to … Let’s stop talking about the past.”<\/p>\n
“Where do you live now, Maria? How are you doing?”<\/p>\n
Maria smiled and said, “I live with my son’s family now. My grandson was born earlier this year. I’m taking care of him now. If it wasn’t for your grandma, I wouldn’t … She was nice to me back then.”<\/p>\n
Speaking of Audrey’s grandma, Maria felt sad.<\/p>\n
Audrey was relieved to know Maria was doing well these days.<\/p>\n
“Grandma would be happy for you if she knew that you were living a happy life.”<\/p>\n
Maria sighed. “She was such a good person. It was all my fault that she met with the dreadful accident. I should have stopped her from going out that late.”<\/p>\n
“Don’t say that, Maria. No one wanted that to happen. What was past was past.”<\/p>\n
“Let’s not talk about me anymore. Ms. Audrey, I heard that you haven’t returned to the Munn’s. Where do you live now?”<\/p>\n
“Don’t worry. I’m fine now.”<\/p>\n
“Good!” Maria nodded. She suddenly remembered something. “When I left the Munn’s, Mr. and Mrs. Munn were going to have someone throw away your grandma’s things. I took them myself, hoping I can give them to you one day. Now that you’re back, let’s meet another day so I can give them to you.”<\/p>\n
“Really? That would great.”<\/p>\n
They parted, and Audrey was filled with emotions.<\/p>\n
She had to find out who was responsible for her grandma’s death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3439","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
