Because You Didn't Close the Door
865 Words
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 in the afternoon, 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 didn't think it was good to ask others to do it, so she had to brave it and return upstairs.
Audrey walked to Bryson's door. The door was open. She thought that he had got dressed, so she walked in.
Audrey leaned forward while knocking on the door.
"Mr. Bryson, Grandma..."
Before Audrey could finish, some flesh in a fuzzy shape appeared in front of her.
In a pair of panties, Bryson was holding an outfit in his hand, ready to put it on. Surprised by Audrey's sudden entrance, Bryson was stunned and did not continue.
Time seemed to have stopped in an instant.
Three seconds later, Audrey came to herself and hastily retreated.
"I'm sorry!"
By the time she finished, she had already disappeared from the door.
Bryson put on a faint smile.
When he got dressed and came out of the room, he saw Audrey standing outside the door with her cheeks flushing red.
Audrey explained awkwardly, "Well, because you didn't close the door, I...."
"I forgot to close the door. Sorry."
Audrey did not dare to look directly at Bryson.
"Grandma told me to call you downstairs for dinner."
"Alright."
Bryson walked ahead while Audrey followed behind him.
Looking at his back, Audrey vaguely remembered what she saw just now. She thought of his eight abdominal muscles, his thin waist, and his sturdy arms....
God, what was she thinking?
Nell should be blamed. She was afraid that Audrey would lose interest in men, so she always sent Audrey naked pictures of male models. When Audrey saw Bryson, she unconsciously compared them.
Audrey jerked her head to shake those indescribable images out of her mind.
...
In the dining room.
When Kylee saw Bryson and Audrey, her gaze landed on Audrey with surprise.
"Elliana, why are you blushing?"
Audrey was too embarrassed to answer.
Seeing that Audrey was silent, Kylee asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Audrey sensed Bryson's inquiring gaze and wished she could find a way to get into the seam.
She couldn't tell Kylee that she was thinking Bryson indecently.
"Grandma, I'm fine. I just feel a little hot today."
Audrey even fanned herself with her hand to show that she was really hot.
"Is it hot? But it rained this afternoon, and the temperature has dropped by ten degrees." Kylee wore a suspicious look.
Audrey got stuck.
