You have to grasp a good man like Bryson. I will stand on your side.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t speak nonsense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey, don&#8217;t tell me you and Bryson never slept.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey blushed.<\/p>\n<p>Are people nowadays all so open?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you talking about? Go study. Don&#8217;t bother me!&#8221; Audrey reprimanded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m twenty-two. I&#8217;m already an adult. Don&#8217;t always treat me like a child!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nonetheless, I won&#8217;t go back tonight. Don&#8217;t eat junk food at dinner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know! I&#8217;m hanging up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up the phone, Audrey looked at the phone warmly.<\/p>\n<p>She also knew she had protected Harold way too far after finding him.<\/p>\n<p>Quentin was only three when he was kidnapped. Audrey had always treated him as a child. She was always worried that he would leave her again.<\/p>\n<p>She felt that she had not protected him well enough.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she was about to turn around, a tall figure appeared behind her, frightening Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bryson, why are you here? Where is Grandma?&#8221; Audrey looked behind Bryson worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She is trying the massage chair. Don&#8217;t worry!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s good!&#8221; Audrey sighed in relief.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson suddenly wrapped her around his arms.<\/p>\n<p>They were in a shopping mall. Although Madam Cordova could not see them, she would easily find them when standing up. That would be awkward.<\/p>\n<p>She looked anxiously in the direction of Madam Cordova.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you doing? Let go of me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. She&#8217;s sitting on the massage chair. She won&#8217;t get up within twenty minutes!&#8221; Bryson said calmly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People coming and going in this shopping mall. What if we are recognized?&#8221; If she was recognized, Madam Cordova would know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can take this opportunity to tell everyone that you, Audrey, are my girl!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>He was joking, right?<\/p>\n<p>Audrey quickly slid down the wall, trying to escape from Bryson&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson seemed to be able to predict and bent down as she moved.<\/p>\n<p>As the two squatted down, they got closer.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey got impatient, &#8220;Bryson, you promised me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A glint flashed across Bryson&#8217;s eyes as he pinched her nose with a chuckle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was just teasing you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He took back his arms.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey heaved a sigh of relief and glared at him. She patted her chest, &#8220;I thought you were serious. You scared me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t mind, I am!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t!&#8221; Audrey rejected in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson looked injured as he muttered in a low voice, &#8220;I&#8217;m a secret lover.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked around and saw that no one was looking at her. She quickly kissed Bryson on the forehead with eyes sparkled, &#8220;Will you have some patience?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson was triggered with eyes deepened a bit.<\/p>\n<p>When Madam Cordova was walking around the mall, she smelled the aroma of hot pot and wanted to eat hot pot.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Audrey bought hotpot condiments and all kinds of dishes. After returning to the Cordova Mansion, she began to make hotpot.<\/p>\n<p>The hotpot soup had two flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey specially bought a cow bone and stewed it for two hours before using the soup in the hotpot.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey put the dishes suitable for Madam Cordova on the side of the light soup.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Cordova surely didn&#8217;t want the dishes in the light soup and reached for spicy soup.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey quickly stopped Madam Cordova&#8217;s chopsticks.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed to the side of the light soup.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma, you can&#8217;t have spicy soup. You suffered from internal heat recently. The internal heat would be severe if you have spicy soup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Madam Cordova was looking forward to spicy hot pot, but she was denied. She was so angry that she threw her chopsticks on the table.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If won&#8217;t have anything except for spicy hotpot!&#8221; Madam Cordova turned around angrily.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey mixed some slightly spicy sauce and placed it in front of Madam Cordova. Madam Cordova glanced at it, still angry and unwilling to turn around.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma, it&#8217;s useless. I won&#8217;t let you eat the dishes in spicy soup.&#8221; Audrey smiled and pretended to take the sauce away, &#8220;If you don&#8217;t want this, I&#8217;ll take it away!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that Audrey was about to take the sauce away, Madam Cordova became anxious.<\/p>\n<p>At least, the sauce still had some flavor. Without sauce, how could she eat?<\/p>\n<p>Not caring that she was still angry, she quickly took the sauce from Audrey&#8217;s hand, &#8220;I&#8217;ll eat. Who said I&#8217;m not eating?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Madam Cordova pouted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is too much. I am your grandmother. How can you treat me like this? I will call your parents and let them teach you a lesson tomorrow!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey&#8217;s heart skipped a beat when she heard that.<\/p>\n<p>If Bryson&#8217;s parents knew her presence, would they agree to a person who had deceived Madam Cordova be with Bryson?<\/p>\n<p>Audrey didn&#8217;t eat much because she had something on her mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3547","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3547","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=3547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
