But when she was about to open her mouth, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Auntie!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The voice was filled with excitement. And a little boy flung himself to Audrey&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked down at the little boy in her arms. She recognized he was Ben, the boy she had saved from the flood in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s getting late, Ben. Why are you here alone? Didn&#8217;t I tell you to go home?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ben looked up at Audrey. But when he saw Bryson&#8217;s cold eyes, he was afraid and retreated from Audrey&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, today is the anniversary of the resort. The hotel where my dad worked for gave him a few days off, so we came here for fun.&#8221; Ben said happily.<\/p>\n<p>Then he ran over and pulled a man over. He began to introduce his dad to Audrey and Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uncle, auntie, this is my dad. Dad, they saved me today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ben&#8217;s father was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was plainly dressed.<\/p>\n<p>The man fondled Ben&#8217;s head. He looked at Audrey and Bryson gratefully, &#8220;I&#8217;m Curtis. Thank you for saving my son. Without you, my son would&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Curtis spoke, his eyes turned red.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was touched and comforted Curtis, &#8220;We were only lifting a finger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I can do for you,&#8221; Curtis said in a hoarse voice. He pulled Ben by his side, &#8220;Ben, come here and say thanks to them! Without them, you would have died!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you!&#8221; Ben gave a deep bow to Audrey and Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey fondled Ben&#8217;s forehead gently.<\/p>\n<p>She said, &#8220;I&#8217;m truly relieved when you are fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it is convenient for you, I want to invite you to our house and treat you tomorrow,&#8221; Curtis said sincerely.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey waved her hand and declined.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really, don&#8217;t bother. We just did what we should do. And it&#8217;s time for us to leave. Tomorrow, we will set off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Curtis sighed, &#8220;Then that&#8217;s really a pity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, as long as Ben is fine, we are good. If you can raise him right, we are truly relieved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Curtis nodded, &#8220;I will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I heard that Ben&#8217;s mom&#8230;&#8221; Audrey asked tentatively.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis looked sad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, when Ben was just a month old, her mother had left. But&#8230;&#8221; Curtis sighed, &#8220;I don&#8217;t blame her because I was not a mature man back then. Well, it&#8217;s all over. I&#8217;m really happy I still have such a boy. He is growing up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey handed over a business card to Curtis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think since we met, we are somehow connected. If you have any need in the future, feel free to contact me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Curtis glanced at the card. He said, &#8220;You are Ms. Audrey. I truly appreciate your kindness. I&#8217;ll keep this. Thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re welcome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then I won&#8217;t bother you. You can continue your way.&#8221; Curtis said tactfully.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright. See you another day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just now, Audrey was standing behind the light and Curtis couldn&#8217;t see her clearly. But when Audrey was about to leave, Curtis saw her face. She looked so beautiful under the light.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis was slightly stunned.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey&#8217;s brows pulled together when she noticed Curtis&#8217; gaze.<\/p>\n<p>She said, &#8220;Curtis, what&#8217;s wrong?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You always had me in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>She had planned to confess love to him but now&#8230; Where would she start?<\/p>\n<p>As Audrey was wondering how to start the conversation, she was nearly run into by a stranger passing by. But Bryson pulled her to his side and she was fine.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey screamed.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson gave a worried look at Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey, everything alright?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey&#8217;s eyes blinked, &#8220;What? I&#8217;m fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You were absent-minded just now. It is not the first time. Tell me what happened?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was hesitant, &#8220;Ah, nothing. Nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson put his hand on Audrey&#8217;s forehead and felt her temperature. He was worried.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it felt normal!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was quite sure she was well.<\/p>\n<p>She was so good. How could she have a fever?<\/p>\n<p>But when she saw Bryson&#8217;s worried look, she thought she was ready again.<\/p>\n<p>She stared at Bryson and said seriously, &#8220;Bryson, listen, don&#8217;t interrupt me. Let me finish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey gathered herself and summoned up the courage.<\/p>\n<p>She said gently, &#8220;Before I met you, I thought I was imperfect and I never hoped for a serious relationship. But since I met you&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3477","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3477","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=3477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
