A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 4

Bryson briefly explained the situation of the Cordova family to Audrey.

Right now, Audrey was in the Cordova Mansion. Only Bryson and his grandmother lived here. Bryson's parents lived in another villa. Furthermore, they had recently gone abroad and would not return any time soon.

Bryson and Audrey came out of Bryson's study and went to Kylee's room.

Bryson knocked. "Grandma!"

"I said I won't eat. If Elliana doesn't come, I won't eat!"

"She's right outside the door."

"Stop fooling me. I don't believe you. If she comes, let her call me."

Bryson signaled to Audrey.

Audrey cleared her throat. "Grandma, it's me, Elliana. Open the door."

The silence in the room was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps, and the door handle moved, but the door did not open.

"You naughty girl, why don't come see me since you are in the city? You want me to open the door. No way."

Audrey rolled her clever eyes.

"Grandma, if you don't open the door, then I'll leave."

The room quieted down, and Kylee did not say anything else.

Audrey continued, "I am leaving."

Just as Audrey finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened. Kylee dashed out and grabbed Audrey's wrist with great strength as if she was afraid that if she let go, Audrey would leave.

"Don't you dare!" Kylee glared at Audrey.

Audrey was touched as she saw the angry but affectionate look in Kylee's eyes, for she was reminded of her own grandma.

Audrey grabbed Kylee's hand and smiled charmingly, "Since you have come out, of course, I won't leave."

Kylee shook off Audrey's hands and turned around.

"If I hadn't threatened Bryson with a hunger strike, I don't think you would come to see me."

"Grandma, I've been busy."

"What's there to be busy with for a young girl like you."

"I need to work. Although our family is rich, I want to realize my own value."

Kylee softened.

She touched Audrey's face, feeling sorry for her little granddaughter.

"Work is OK. But don't get too tired. Look at you. You are skinny."

Audrey took Kylee's hand and blinked her bright eyes.

"So, grandma, you're not mad at me anymore?"

"How can I be really mad at you? From now on, you have to move back!"

Move into the Cordova's?

Audrey said nervously, "Grandma, I am very busy with my work now. I am living near the company. It is not convenient to move back. However, I promise that I will come back to see you often."

"But..."

Bryson interrupted Kylee at the right time.

"Grandma, Elliana is back. Can you have lunch now?"

Kylee immediately forgot what she had just said. She covered her empty stomach and said, "I'm really hungry. Let's go and eat."

During dinner, Kylee brought up the matter of Audrey moving back again. Audrey and Bryson cooperated and finally persuaded Kylee to give up.

Although Kylee agreed that Audrey could live outside, she had one condition. Tonight, Audrey had to stay at home.

Audrey had to agree.

Audrey stayed in the same guest room that she woke up in the morning.

The servants of the Cordova family were efficient. When Audrey returned to her room, all the toiletries in the room had been prepared.

After washing her face, Audrey lay on the bed. She looked at the ceiling above her head and pressed her fingers on her somewhat sour and swollen temples.

She still found what happened today unbelievable.

She could not believe that she would actually agree with Bryson on such an absurdity.

However, since she was here, she should be at ease.

...

After a brief rest, Audrey began to study the domestic legal code.

In the evening, a servant knocked on the door and called her for dinner.

Audrey closed the book and went out.

When they arrived at the dining room, Kylee was already waiting there.

Kylee said the moment she saw Audrey.

"Elliana, go upstairs and ask your brother for dinner. He said that he would come down after getting dressed. But he hasn't come down yet."

Audrey didn't know how to reply.

The servants were busy, and Audrey had to brave it and return upstairs.

The door was open. Audrey leaned forward while knocking on the door.

"Mr. Bryson, Grandma sent me. Dinner is ready."

No response. She thought he wasn't in the room.
