Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Bryson, president of the Cordova Group, who usually wore suits and ties and was quite aloof, was actually wearing an exaggerated jacket and flowery trousers in rurality style. He was also wearing a pair of work boots that did not match his identity, with a shovel in his muddy hand.
At this moment, Bryson looked very close to life.
Kylee also wore the same style of jacket and trousers. She wore a pink knitted hat and sat on a chair beside the parterre, asking Bryson to fertilize the flowers.
The flowers were all precious breeds. Normally, there would be someone to take care of them. But now, the gardener in charge of this area was watching Bryson's movements.
Seeing Bryson began to shovel again, the gardener was so worried that his forehead was covered in sweat.
Normally, the gardener would never dare to give any advice to Bryson. However, facing such an easy- going Bryson, the gardener felt a little less frightened.
"Mr. Bryson, the place you dig is too close to the root. The root will be burned to death if it is to be fertilized this way."
Kylee said, "Go a little farther. Oops, that's too far. Why are you so stupid?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Gardener, "Mr. Bryson, you can't put so much chemical fertilizer."
Bryson,"...."
Bryson was wondering whether it was he who was fertilizing the flowers, or it was them.
Audrey, who had been watching for a while, couldn't help but laugh.
Kylee stood up happily when she turned around and saw Audrey.
"Elliana, you're here."
"Grandma, what are you doing?" Audrey walked over, smiling.
"I discussed something about flowers with your brother today. Afterwards, I asked him to fertilize the flowers. But, look at him...." Kylee looked at her grandson with disdain. "How stupid!"
Bryson, "...."
Bryson wasn't happy when he came to this parterre. When seeing Audrey, he felt even worse.
Audrey coughed twice to cover the awkward moment. "Actually, Bryson never did it before, and I feel he has already done it quite well."
"Nonsense! You always defend your brother."
"I'm not defending him. Besides, I've never seen such a handsome gardener before."
Bryson, who originally hated his clothes today, was about to go back and change the clothes. However, hearing what Audrey said, he gave up and didn't go back.
Since Audrey came, Kylee and Bryson did not continue to fertilize the flowers. They asked the gardener to finish the rest. And the gardener could not wait to see them leave the parterre.
...
After returning to the villa, Kylee and Bryson went to change their clothes. Bryson finished first and he came downstairs.
When Bryson appeared from the stairs, Audrey was stunned.
Bryson, who had changed into casual clothes, looked very gentle as he walked down the stairs. He was like a model.
However, Bryson was born with a noble temperament, which the models did not possess.
Bryson looked down at the living room, like a king who was observing his kingdom.
Audrey's gaze fell on Bryson for three seconds before she immediately turned away, in order to avoid to be noticed by him.
Bryson walked into the living room and sat down calmly, as if he hadn't noticed Audrey peeping at him.
Bryson sat down and smiled at Audrey.
"You did a good job in court yesterday."
Audrey raised her eyebrows.
"This case won't be closed unless there's a verdict."
"I believe Ms. Audrey will definitely win!" Bryson looked into Audrey's eyes and said.
Audrey was touched when hearing this.
From the beginning to now, very few people believed her. However, ever since she met Bryson, he was sure of everything she said. And when everyone else questioned her, he was also the first to believe her.
Audrey curled her lips and said, "I will try my best to live up to Mr. Bryson's expectations."
"Ms. Audrey never disappoints me."
Audrey said, "...."
'Please don't speak too highly of me, OK?' She thought.
Audrey suddenly changed the topic and teased him, "Blair's attorney this time just happened to be Lawyer Edward, one of the greatest lawyers who want to enter the Cordova Group. Isn't Mr. Bryson too unconfident in him?"
Bryson stared at Audrey and said word by word, "I believe in my own judgment. Besides, if you compete for the Cordova Group's chamber barrister, they won't have a chance."
Audrey said, "...."
What exactly did he mean?
Was he referring to her ability, or was he talking about something else?
Audrey wasn't smart enough and she couldn't figure out what Bryson was thinking about.
Bryson seemed to have flirted with her just now.
Mr. Bryson was too good at flirting with a woman, and she felt shy and burning.
Fortunately, Kylee finished changing her clothes at this time and walked downstairs.
Seeing Kylee at the stairs, Audrey quickly stood up and went to support her.
Kylee's health was getting better and better day by day. Audrey could see her change.
"Grandma, when is your next examination?"
"Well, in about a month."
A month later.
Judging from Kylee's current situation, Audrey thought maybe she could leave if the results of Kylee's examination were good in a month.
"I see."
"Why did you suddenly ask me this?" Kylee looked at Audrey strangely.
Audrey hurriedly explained, "I just feel that you look better and better."
Kylee was happy and looked at Audrey, "It is because you come to see me. I'm getting better and better of course."
In the living room, Bryson narrowed his eyes and observed Audrey's expression.
After talking for a while, Kylee held Audrey's hand and said, "Elliana, I want to eat the food you cook."
Audrey nodded, "Then I'll cook for you at noon. But, the ingredients I need may not be available in the villa."
Kylee's eyes lit up.
"Then let's go to the supermarket together."
"Well, I'll go by myself." It was too risky to take Kylee to the supermarket. If she fell over accidentally...
"It has been a long time since I went to the supermarket last time. Let's go together."
Just as Audrey was about to refuse, Bryson walked over.
"Then you'll go together." Bryson said.
"But...."
Bryson smiled at her and said, "I'll go with you."
The implication was that if anything happened in the supermarket, he would handle it.
Audrey said, "...."
...
Although Audrey was quite reluctant, she could only agree to Bryson's idea.
Bryson drove a car and brought Audrey and Kylee to a large supermarket after 20 minutes.
Because Audrey and Bryson were extremely good-looking, a lot of people would turn to look at them, even if they had walked past Audrey and Bryson.
There were escalators everywhere in the supermarket. Audrey helped Kylee step on the escalator, while Bryson stood behind to protect them.
An old woman beside Madam Cordova saw them and said enviously, "Wow, your grandson and his wife are so pretty."
