A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 85

The next morning, Audrey woke up with a stuffy nose and a bad cold because of having been taken to a cold garage last night.

After packing, she was ready to check out.

When she opened the door, she saw that the door of the room on the opposite side was open.

A middle-aged cleaning lady was about to carry a clean sheet and a clean blanket to the room.

Audrey asked in surprise, "Where is the guest staying in that room?"

"He checked out this morning." the cleaning lady replied casually.

Audrey did not say a word.

Her heart sank lower and lower.

Bryson had really checked out.

It seemed that she really hurt him badly last night. As he didn't want to see her, he even checked out early.

Maybe that was for the best. Since Bryson did not want to see her again, they could go back to the time when they did not know each other. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

However, she felt a tearing pain in her heart.

Could she really go back to the time when she did not know Bryson?

She pulled the suitcase next to her and went downstairs to meet Charity. They went to the railway station together.

...

When Audrey and Charity were back in Peace City, it was already afternoon.

They went straight back to the law firm with their luggage and filed all documents related to the Pine City case in the archives room. Freddy praised Audrey in front of everyone and promised to give her a bonus this month.

Pine City got its name from the pine nuts there, and Audrey had brought pine nuts from Pine City for her colleagues in the firm as souvenirs.

When she handed a bag of pine nuts to Liana, Liana smiled and took it. But after Audrey was away, Liana immediately threw the pine nuts into the bin.

Liana was furious.

How could Audrey be so lucky?

It was clearly an impossible case to win, but Audrey still succeeded. And she had even won the case beautifully and brought a large amount of income to the firm.

Because Audrey had won every case she dealt with, she had been promoted as a second-class lawyer in the law firm. She had risen to the same rank as Liana's. If Liana could not be promoted as a first- class lawyer quickly, Audrey would probably rise to a higher rank than hers soon.

The more Liana thought about that, the angrier she became.

After returning to her seat, Audrey stared at the screen of her computer in front of her and felt as though the screen was shaking.

She shook her head, but she felt that her head hurt.

She could tell that the symptoms of her cold had probably worsened.

That was terrible.

Audrey managed to call the client who was going to court two days later to confirm the matters on the court day with him, and she had been dizzy after that.

Finally, it was time to get off work. Audrey stayed a little longer to store information on her computer before packing her things and heading home.

Just as Audrey was about to leave the firm, she happened to see a janitor cleaning up the garbage bins in the office.

After the janitor picked up a garbage bag, he spoke in surprise, "Oh? This bag of pine nuts hasn't even been opened. Why did somebody throw it away?"

Audrey turned to look at the janitor.

She then figured out that the janitor was standing by Liana's seat.

Audrey frowned and left her seat.

She felt that her head really hurt too badly.

...

After finally getting home, Audrey took out a box of tablets for a cold from the drawer. After taking the medicine, she went to lie down.

However, her phone rang just as she lay down,

Audrey took out her phone and had a look.

The call was from Bryson's grandma, Kylee.

Audrey suddenly sat up in shock.

Why did Kylee call?

Logically speaking, since she did not have to pretend to be Bryson's sister now, Bryson should have found a way to tell Kylee about it. But why did Kylee call her at this time?

Audrey still picked up the phone, though she was puzzled.

She whispered, "Hello, Grandma."

"Hello! Elliana," Kylee greeted Audrey and asked affectionately, "where are you now? Are you home?"

"Yes, I'm home, Grandma."

"You just came back from a business trip today. Why didn't you come back in your brother's car?" Kylee sounded dissatisfied.

"Well, Grandma, I went to Pine City for work, not for holiday. All my colleagues travel by train. They might talk, if I come back in ... my brother's car."

"You've overthought it."

"Grandma," Audrey asked tentatively, "is Bryson back?"

"He is ... Oh, no, he isn't back yet."

Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.

Kylee continued, "Elliana, when are you coming home again?"

Audrey pondered over what she should say, "Grandma, I have been very busy recently. Perhaps, I won't be able to go back for a while. But don't worry. I'll go to see you once I have time."

"Well, I see!" Kylee said in a slightly disappointed tone.

After chatting with Kylee for a while, Audrey hung up the phone.

As she felt that her head hurt more badly, she put down her phone, tucked herself in and fell asleep.

On Kylee's side, she was glaring coldly at her grandson who was sitting beside her after hanging up the phone.

Kylee asked, "Bryson, let me ask you this: did you have a fight with Elliana?"

Bryson looked at his grandmother, poker-faced.

"No!"

"No?" Kylee raised her voice, "Then why did you ask me to lie to her and tell her you're not back yet? I have specially told you long ago to take your sister back with you when you come back to Peace City, but you still came back alone. Tell me: did you two really not have a fight?"

Bryson did not know what to say.

Seeing that Bryson was silent, Kylee thought that she had had him there.

"Bryson, let me tell you this. Your sister is a girl, but she is as important as you in my heart. If you dare to bully her, I will never let you off. I will also let your parents teach you a lesson when they come back."

Bryson stood up impatiently.

"Grandma, I still have something to do. I'll go upstairs now."

"Hey, it's almost dinner time. You can work after dinner."

As Kylee called out to Bryson, he just walked towards the stairs as if he hadn't heard anything.

Kylee could only sigh.

She thought to herself that none of her grandchildren were easy to deal with.

...

In the study upstairs, Bryson was holding a pile of documents in his hands, but he couldn't actually read them.

What Audrey had said last night had been echoing in his mind.

In her eyes, he had become a complete bastard.

Annoyingly, his phone kept ringing.

He hung it up fretfully, and the person did not call again.

He raised his phone and scrolled through the contact list. He stopped as he saw Audrey's name.

However, Bryson threw the phone to the floor before he dialed the number. The phone was instantly smashed into pieces.

He told himself not to think about that heartless and cruel woman anymore.
