"sister-in-law! sister-in-law!" Aaron's scream interrupted her thoughts.
There was a gentle smile in his voice. "sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? I've called you so many times! "
"Sorry, I didn't hear you."
It was time to turn the corner. While turning on the turn signal, Aaron said to Polly, "sister in law, I'm sorry for not helping you tonight. I have my own difficulties. "
"I know," said Polly Han indifferently Among the group of young men who came from rich families behind Bruce, only Aaron had the most sophisticated mind. He looked gentle and polite on the surface, but he was a scheming man. He would never offend Abbe for irrelevant people.
"I will make it up to Su. I promise that he won't hurt miss An again,"
Hearing that, Polly smiled. He would not do such a thing for no reason.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"I have been adoring Bruce since I was ten. He is more intimate than my biological brother in my heart. I don't want a gap between us. He seems to dislike me. I hope you can put in a good word for me in front of Bruce. "
She thought that he had misunderstood her meaning.
"Aaron, Bruce doesn't know I called you. I didn't tell him."
"Really?" said Aaron in surprise and doubt
"Well, nothing. I didn't plan to tell him. "
All of a sudden, he fell into silence, and soon he calmed down. When he spoke again, his tone was not as gentle as usual, but cold and indifferent.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome. I'm your sister-in-law."
From what Bruce did before, it could be seen that in his heart, Aaron was important. At that time, Bruce had said that he wanted to save face for others, which meant that he wanted to save face for himself.
Now she came to realize that giving others leeway was giving herself leeway. If she didn't let Aaron go and asked him to give an explanation, it would be difficult for Bruce. She didn't want to create any misunderstandings between him and Aaron because of her.
Besides, the culprit is Abbe, not him.
She wanted him to understand that she wouldn't embarrass him for the sake of Bruce. If he encountered similar things again in the future, he would more or less connect her with Bruce when he made decisions.
When they went back to their dormitory, Polly said to Aaron, "Aaron, you must be tired after having been busy for a long time today. Go back and have a rest."
Aaron shook his head and replied, "I can't leave now, because I haven't finished my task."
How odd it was! What he meant was that he would stay here to take care of Avril. As a man, he was in the middle of the night. The teacher in charge of the dormitory could allow him to come up without carrying other people. It was very embarrassing. He couldn't stay here or leave blatantly. She had to think about whether it would have a bad influence on Avril.
"Aaron, I can take care of Avril."
"sister-in-law, don't get me wrong." Aaron explained with a smile, "in fact, at this time, you should not stay here. I'm sure Bruce will blame me! Don't worry, I will have my secretary come here to take care of Miss Avril later. You can go back then. "
The Secretary of Aaron Fan came. She was a good-looking woman about thirty years old and she looked very considerate. But Polly was still a little worried, mainly because she felt a little embarrassed. She vomited a lot. The sheets, quilts and the floor were all over.
She helped the Secretary change the dirty bedding and sheets into clean ones, and then changed Avril's clothes. She was so tired that she sweated all over. She thought of that when she was drunk last time, Bruce would take care of her alone. She felt that it wasn't easy for him.
With this thought in mind, she felt anxious and uneasy. Tonight he was so depressed. He said those words to her before they broke up. She didn't know how he was now.
When she calmed down, she took out her phone and called Bruce. The ringtone kept ringing, but nobody answered. She called him several times, but it was still the same.
He wasn't like this all the time. He would pick up his phone whenever she called him. She never knew that Bruce had specially set her ringtone as the ringtone, and she never knew that it was his special treatment to her. It was not until she answered the phone for a long time that she realized the precious feeling. In addition to disappointment, there was a trace of panic.
She thought there must be something wrong with him.
She looked at the time. It was already half past eleven. Bruce wasn't used to staying up late except working. It was late now, so Rachel guessed that he might go to bed. But even if he was sleeping, he was still very alert. She called him so many times, how could he not hear her.
From the hallway came the sound of Aaron's phone call and the faint footsteps.
She eagerly wanted to call his name, but she gave up at the thought that he might be asleep. She sneaked into the bedroom, and all the curtains were drawn. It was so dark inside that nobody could see her fingers. But the woman's keen intuition told her that Bruce was not in bed.
When the light was turned on, she was right. The quilt on their king size bed had never been used. Was he not at home? She anxiously called him again, and the phone rang along with the buzzing. But the voice was so low that nobody could hear it.
It was the study! She rushed to the door and tried to push it, but the door was locked from the inside and couldn't be pushed.
She began to knock at the door while calling him, not caring whether he was asleep or not. No one would lock themselves in the study when they were at home alone.
"Bruce, open the door. Bruce, please, open the door! " She was dying to cry.
About five minutes later, she heard the sound of the door knob rotating. When the door was opened, a strong smell of alcohol mixed with the dry wind at night rushed into her nose.
As he was leaning against the door, soft light shone on him. His tall body blocked the light, which made her fall in the shadow.
His hair was a little messy. Set off by the delicate facial features, he looked like an axe with a knife cut, his cheeks slightly red, and his eyes were filled with a strong taste of alcohol. His eyes were blurred like the yellow plum rain. His pajama neckline was slightly open, revealing the sexy and charming collarbone. She knew, what came next was his strong and plump chest muscles, and then
It was the first time that she had seen such a lazy and sexy man. Compared with what she had seen in the bathroom last time, he looked quite sexy. Her heart raced all of a sudden and her cheeks were burning like flames.
Subconsciously, she reached out her tongue and licked her dry lips. Then she forced a smile and said, "Bruce, I'm sorry to bother you." It seemed that he had fallen asleep after getting drunk and was woken up by her.
"You go to sleep now. I'm going to sleep too."
"Wait!" Bruce stepped forward, grabbed her wrist and said in a trembling voice, "Dear Polly..."
She was in a hurry to avoid his burning eyes. After regaining her freedom, she turned around and left. Perhaps out of nervousness or some other reasons, she tripped and fell.
"Dear Polly..."
The manly air that followed her like a summer hurricane made her panic. Her two hands held up on the ground. Just when her body was half lifted, a big hand grabbed her ankle like an iron clamp. This time, with one hundred percent of its force, it dragged her into the room.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the door of the study was heavily closed in an overwhelming manner.
