You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 35

Shirley’s brows were knitted instantly upon hearing Jacob’s words, and she quickly reached out her hand to take the phone from him and peek at the caller ID.

It was really him?

He usually would not call her number at all, and even if there was something urgent, he would always ask Jordan to pass on his message to her. What could it be now that he had called her in person?

She tapped on the answer button displayed on the screen of the phone and pressed it against her ear as she said, “Hello?”

A husky voice sounded from the other end of the call, “I’ll reach the entrance of your villa in five minutes, so put on something and come with me to a place.”

Shirley pulled her phone away from her ear to take a glimpse at the time displayed on the screen, and she held it close to her ear again as she said with a solemn countenance, “It’s getting late, Mr. Moore.”

“Mm, let’s talk when we meet.” The call was hung up by him after he had uttered that few short words.

Shirley’s brows were even deeply furrowed now as she raised her hand and started to rub her forehead subconsciously.

What the hell was this jackass going to do this time?

She turned around and walked up to the two kids after the call had ended, and she proceeded to pick up the towel in Emma’s hands in a calm and unhurried manner as she continued to dry her hair while taking her own sweet time.

Jacob walked closer to Shirley and gazed longingly at her phone as he asked, “Is Daddy asking for you, Mommy?”

Emma had also opened her pair of bright and beautiful eyes wide as she uttered in a childlike voice, “Hurry up and go to Daddy, Mommy. The nanny will help to blow dry my hair, and I will behave myself.”

Shirley could only feel helpless and distressed after seeing that her two children were so well-behaved.

Ever since she had taken over Bryan’s case, she had not been able to put them to sleep as she had to work at night.

It was not feasible to continue like this for a long period; hence she had set herself a goal to try to treat Bryan’s sleep disorder in three months’ time.

Her goal was to train him to the extent that he could fall asleep by himself without her presence by his side. If it had come to that stage, that would mean that he had completed his treatment, and she could bring an end to the life that she had been living now.

The nanny whom was hired by Mildred had walked into the room at that moment to bring the two kids away.

Shirley’s phone had rung again just then, and it was from Bryan expectedly.

She pushed open the closet door and brought out a set of casual wide-leg jumpsuit with no intention to pick up the call, and she promptly went into her dressing room to get dressed while leaving her phone to ring incessantly.

The ringtone had stopped on its own after she had not picked it up, but it promptly rang again after just a short while.

Shirley was not worried that Bryan would break into her villa as she had ordered the security to keep out Bryan and dogs from her place.

After she had finally gotten changed, her phone had stopped ringing.

She promptly trotted out of the villa after grabbing her perfume sachet and phone while putting on a pair of comfortable flat shoes.

Her phone had started to ring again when she was making her way to him, and she decisively hung up his call after glimpsing at her phone screen in an impatient manner.

When she had arrived at the gate of the villa, her eyes were instantly set on the black Rolls Royce that had been parked in front of entrance.

Bryan was leaning against the front of his car while being cladded in a black tailcoat which was paired with a white shirt inside tonight, and his hand was holding on to the tie that he had not put on yet. She could see that he had dressed up formally as his hair had even been brushed to the back of his head.

His countenance that was already devastatingly striking and captivating was even more exquisite and three-dimensional now.

This was the first time in six years that Shirley had seen him in such a formal dressing, and even though he was just leaning lazily against the car, his noble and elegant temperament could not be contained at all.

Shirley’s heart suddenly began to race from the stunning sight of him, and she felt as if she had traversed back to the night when she had first met him six years ago.

The familiar feeling of palpitations had violently struck her heart again and again as she continued to make her way to him.

It was not like she… was unmoved by him six years ago, but the happenings afterwards…

“Why didn’t you pick up my call?”

Shirley’s footsteps were immediately halted as Bryan had come up to her at some point which was unbeknownst to her while wearing a surly expression on his immensely striking face.

She raised her head to look at him, but when she was met with his long and narrow eyes, she hurriedly averted her gaze and explained, “I was getting dressed.”

“Get in the car.” He muttered under his breath and turned around to pull open the passenger door.

After raising her eyes and casting a glance at him, she promptly walked towards him and got in the car.

Bryan closed the passenger door after she had gotten in and went around the car to get into his seat behind the wheel as well.
