Chapter 214
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 214<\/p>\n
Audrey started preparing to go to Maria’s house when there were still two minutes left before lunchtime.<\/p>\n
When lunchtime started, she was ready to leave.<\/p>\n
Her colleagues asked her, “Audrey, where are you having lunch?”<\/p>\n
She smiled and said, “I have something to do. You guys go without me.”<\/p>\n
Audrey passed by Deegan when she left. He stared at Audrey’s back, with fire in his eyes.<\/p>\n
One of their colleagues saw Deegan staring at the back of Audrey, then asked him subconsciously.<\/p>\n
“Hey, Mr. Deegan, it seems you have a very good relationship with Audrey. Maybe you are a couple?”<\/p>\n
Deegan showed some disgust, “she and me? Come on.”<\/p>\n
But he suddenly felt that his attitude was too bad, so he smiled and explained, “Well, she and I are just friends.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Audrey received a phone call from Bryson when she had just arrived at the entrance of Maria’s community.<\/p>\n
When she told Bryson where she was, he asked her to send him the location, then he would pick her up.<\/p>\n
After sending the location to Bryson, Audrey called Maria.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, Maria went out fetching two boxes on a small cart.<\/p>\n
“I’m really sorry, Audrey. I should have given them to you before, but I was too busy.” Maria looked at Audrey with a sense of guilt.<\/p>\n
“Thank you so much. If you haven’t kept these things for me, I’m afraid I would never be able to get them.”<\/p>\n
Maria shook her head, “I should say thanks. You and your grandma have made me what I am now.”<\/p>\n
Maria took a long sigh then.<\/p>\n
Audrey took a closer watch on Maria, then she found that her white hair had become much more than the last time she saw her. She had also lost a lot of weight, and her tiredness could be even seen on her face. It looked like she had undergone long-term labor.<\/p>\n
Feeling that Audrey was staring at herself, Maria’s eyes flickered, and she subconsciously avoided Audrey’s gaze.<\/p>\n
She coughed lightly and began to remove the things from the cart.<\/p>\n
“Well, Audrey, the things are here. I’ve got some work to do in my home, so I’m leaving…”<\/p>\n
Audrey grabbed her hand before she could finish her words.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Maria!” Audrey’s sharp eyes stared into Maria’s eyes, “Are you trying to conceal anything from me?”<\/p>\n
“What can I conceal from you? You have been a lawyer for so long, so you have become so suspicious. Don’t you see that I am fine? What could happen to me?”<\/p>\n
“Ms. Maria!” Audrey frowned. “You cannot fool me. We’ve lived together for so many years. How can I not understand you? Is there any trouble in your home?”<\/p>\n
“No, There’s nothing!” Maria tried to get rid of Audrey.<\/p>\n
But she was not powerful enough.<\/p>\n
Maria got a little anxious, “Let go. I have to go home.”<\/p>\n
“Ms. Maria, I won’t let you go before you tell me your secret.” Audrey firmly held Maria’s hand.<\/p>\n
Maria had no choice now. She sighed, “Actually it’s not so serious… Half a month ago, when my husband and my son were delivering goods, they were hit by a car. Now they are still in the hospital. So this time around, I have been taking care of them in the hospital. Occasionally, I would come back to get some daily necessities. So… I didn’t have time to give these things to you.”<\/p>\n
Audrey frowned, “Ms. Maria, why did you not tell me about it?”<\/p>\n
“It’s not necessary to bother you. Both of them are safe and sound. They just need some time to recover.”<\/p>\n
“Did you get the compensation?”<\/p>\n
Maria hesitated for a moment, then said, “They thought that I wanted too much, so… they are preparing for a lawsuit.”<\/p>\n
“A lawsuit?” Audrey responded immediately, “Then I will help you with this lawsuit. I will help you get the best compensation.”<\/p>\n
Audrey took out her phone to call Harold.<\/p>\n
It was immediately answered.<\/p>\n
“Hello, what is it?” Harold said in a very low voice so that he would not disturb the other people in the bookstore.<\/p>\n
Audrey then said, “I am now near your bookstore. Let’s have lunch together.”<\/p>\n
“No, I’ve got a lot of things to read. I will grab a bite later.”<\/p>\n
Audrey frowned.<\/p>\n
“It’s a brainwork to read. How can you just grab a bite?”<\/p>\n
“I’m reading now. Pick me up when you get off work.”<\/p>\n
Audrey had nothing to say.<\/p>\n
‘He is such a bookworm.’<\/p>\n
Now she had no choice. She took a look at Bryson, then gnashed, “Bryson is going to be with us!”<\/p>\n
Harold responded quickly and excitedly.<\/p>\n
“What? Bryson is gonna be there too? Then I’ll go. I’ll wait for you on the side of the street. See you later!”<\/p>\n
Then Harold hung up the phone.<\/p>\n
Audrey stared at her phone, sinking in frustration.<\/p>\n
‘How can Harold like Bryson so much? I’m jealous.’<\/p>\n
Audrey held her chin and stared at Bryson’s perfect profile, murmuring, “It seems that it’s not enough to keep you away only from women!”<\/p>\n
Bryson was speechless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3545","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3545","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=3545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
