Chapter 122
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 122<\/p>\n
He was surprised to hear Bryson’s voice.<\/p>\n
“Uncle Bryson? Why are you answering Audrey’s phone?” Simon asked in confusion.<\/p>\n
“Answer my question!”<\/p>\n
Simon remained silent.<\/p>\n
Answer? How should he answer that?<\/p>\n
Simon’s mind raced, “Uncle Bryson, the signal here is suddenly weak. Uncle? I can’t hear your voice! I’m afraid my phone doesn’t work…”<\/p>\n
Then Bryson only heard a beep.<\/p>\n
Audrey really admired Simon now.<\/p>\n
He was indeed quick-witted.<\/p>\n
Bryson returned Audrey’s phone and dialed another number with his phone.<\/p>\n
With her sharp eyes, Audrey saw that the person Bryson was calling was surnamed ‘Randall’.<\/p>\n
Soon, Bryson got through.<\/p>\n
As expected, the person he called was his brother-in-law.<\/p>\n
Bryson told his brother-in-law where Simon was now.<\/p>\n
While they were talking, Audrey heard Bryson’s brother-in-law say with extreme anger that he would definitely give Simon a lesson. Then the conversation was over.<\/p>\n
After hanging up the phone, Bryson maintained a poker face, as if he didn’t do anything.<\/p>\n
Audrey didn’t know what to say.<\/p>\n
She could picture the scene Simon was beaten by his father.<\/p>\n
She didn’t expect that Bryson looked upright, but he would rat on Simon in front of her.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Bryson was about to turn to look at her, she immediately looked towards the window and pretended to have heard nothing.<\/p>\n
She couldn’t let Bryson find that she knew he did something bad. Even if Bryson asked, nothing heard would be her answer.<\/p>\n
As a lawyer, she should always tell the truth. But ever since she met Bryson, she found herself violating professional ethics again and again.<\/p>\n
Her phone rang again.<\/p>\n
She checked it and found it was Kylee.<\/p>\n
She picked up the phone at once.<\/p>\n
“Grandma, we’re on our way home. We’ll be back soon.”<\/p>\n
“Don’t come home for dinner tonight!”<\/p>\n
Audrey was confused.<\/p>\n
She frowned and whispered to Bryson, “Grandma just told us not to go home for dinner.”<\/p>\n
She asked, “Grandma, what’s happening? Why can’t we go back?”<\/p>\n
“The daughter of our cook, Daniel Davidson, has just given birth. I am in the hospital with him. You guys just eat out tonight.”<\/p>\n
“Which hospital are you in? We’ll pick you up after dinner.”<\/p>\n
“I can’t remember that. I’ll have Daniel’s son-in-law use my phone to text you the address later.”<\/p>\n
“Alright.”<\/p>\n
Audrey hung up and looked at Bryson.<\/p>\n
“Grandma said that Daniel’s daughter had born a baby, so she went to the hospital with him. She asked us to eat out and then pick her up at the hospital.”<\/p>\n
“Alright. Let’s go to a restaurant nearby. There is a famous restaurant ahead.”<\/p>\n
Audrey happily answered, “Good.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Ten minutes later, Audrey and Bryson sat in a private room of a five-star restaurant.<\/p>\n
Audrey sat down and was a bit shocked by the menu.<\/p>\n
Audrey didn’t know why.<\/p>\n
James gently explained to Audrey, “Ms. Audrey, excuse George. He was hurt by a lawyer and suffers from a lawyer phobia.”<\/p>\n
What a rare phobia.<\/p>\n
Audrey replied, “It’s … fine.”<\/p>\n
It was really embarrassing to meet Bryson’s friends when dining out.<\/p>\n
Since James and George were Bryson’s friends, they didn’t mind sharing a table with Bryson and Audrey. They called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.<\/p>\n
After that, James cast a smile at Audrey.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Audrey, which firm do you work in?”<\/p>\n
“Square Law Firm.”<\/p>\n
James raised his eyebrows slightly. “As far as I know, there is a lawyer named Andrey in your firm. She was the attorney of the QK Architects, and she won the case against the Four Seasons Group. Ms. Audrey, are you the lawyer?”<\/p>\n
Audrey nodded awkwardly.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, it’s me.”<\/p>\n
“I see.” James put on a meaningful smile.<\/p>\n
That explained why Bryson suddenly asked him to cooperate with the Four Seasons Group when it was in a lawsuit against the QK Architects. James asked why, but Bryson only said it was because of a woman.<\/p>\n
He failed to guess who the woman was back then.<\/p>\n
Now he figured it out.<\/p>\n
Audrey felt quite uncomfortable, for James was gazing at her thoughtfully.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Audrey, can I ask you a question?”<\/p>\n
Audrey didn’t answer.<\/p>\n
Subconsciously, she wanted to reply ‘no’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3453","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3453","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=3453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
