A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 16

While heading for the courthouse, Audrey heard her phone ring.

She couldn't help but feel distressed when seeing the caller ID.

It was from Kylee.

For the past two days, she couldn't get what Bryson had done to her that night off her mind. As a result, she didn't contact Kylee.

"Hello, Grandma."

"Elliana, why haven't you called me these two days?"

Audrey felt guilty.

She lied, "I've been busy these past two days, so I forgot."

"I thought something had happened to you. I've been worried about you since last night."

Hearing Kylee's words, Audrey felt even guiltier.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"That's good. Where are you now?"

"On my way to the court with my clients. The trial will start today."

"Are you free tonight? How about coming home for dinner? Last time, you said the sweet and sour squirrel fish was delicious, so I had the servants buy some fish this morning."

"After the trial is over, I have to deal with the information at night. It may be very late, so I won't go back."

Kylee said disappointedly, "Alright then."

"Grandma, the trial will start in a while. I still need to review the information, and I'll call you after leaving the court."

"OK. I will leave you to your work. However, do remember to pay attention to your health and eat on time."

"No problem."

After hanging up, Audrey felt a burst of unease.

Suddenly, her phone rang again.

Seeing the caller ID, Audrey frowned.

Bryson?

Subconsciously, she didn't want to answer the phone, but...

After hesitating for a while, Audrey finally answered it as the caller was about to hang up.

"Hey..."

Bryson's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Bryson." Audrey immediately replied, "May I help you?"

"Ms. Audrey, are you busy now?"

"The trial is going to start today. I'm on my way to the courthouse."

"So that's the case. With your outstanding ability, I believe you will win!"

Audrey was a little touched.

Ever since she took over this case, everyone had questioned her and secretly bet that she would lose the lawsuit. Bryson was the first to say that she would win it.

Audrey replied with a smile, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Mr. Bryson, why are you calling me?"

"Grandma fell yesterday and hurt her foot."

"What?" Audrey asked in shock, "Is she alright?"

Kylee was already over seventy years old. It would be no small matter if she accidentally fell.

"She is fine, but further examinations are needed. The problem is that she won't listen to me."

Audrey nodded. "Alright, I know. I'll call Grandma immediately."

"Sorry to trouble you."

"It doesn't matter."

Bryson spoke to her with such a respectful tone, which meant he probably didn't remember what happened that night.
