Chapter 146
Audrey was wondering how to confess her love to Bryson. But when she was about to open her mouth, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her.
"Auntie!"
The voice was filled with excitement. And a little boy flung himself to Audrey's arms.
Audrey looked down at the little boy in her arms. She recognized he was Ben, the boy she had saved from the flood in the evening.
"It's getting late, Ben. Why are you here alone? Didn't I tell you to go home?"
Ben looked up at Audrey. But when he saw Bryson's cold eyes, he was afraid and retreated from Audrey's arms.
"Well, today is the anniversary of the resort. The hotel where my dad worked for gave him a few days off, so we came here for fun." Ben said happily.
Then he ran over and pulled a man over. He began to introduce his dad to Audrey and Bryson.
"Uncle, auntie, this is my dad. Dad, they saved me today."
Ben's father was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was plainly dressed.
The man fondled Ben's head. He looked at Audrey and Bryson gratefully, "I'm Curtis. Thank you for saving my son. Without you, my son would..."
As Curtis spoke, his eyes turned red.
Audrey was touched and comforted Curtis, "We were only lifting a finger."
"I don't know what I can do for you," Curtis said in a hoarse voice. He pulled Ben by his side, "Ben, come here and say thanks to them! Without them, you would have died!"
"Thank you!" Ben gave a deep bow to Audrey and Bryson.
Audrey fondled Ben's forehead gently.
She said, "I'm truly relieved when you are fine."
"If it is convenient for you, I want to invite you to our house and treat you tomorrow," Curtis said sincerely.
Audrey waved her hand and declined.
"Really, don't bother. We just did what we should do. And it's time for us to leave. Tomorrow, we will set off."
Curtis sighed, "Then that's really a pity."
"Well, as long as Ben is fine, we are good. If you can raise him right, we are truly relieved."
Curtis nodded, "I will." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"I heard that Ben's mom..." Audrey asked tentatively.
Curtis looked sad.
"Well, when Ben was just a month old, her mother had left. But..." Curtis sighed, "I don't blame her because I was not a mature man back then. Well, it's all over. I'm really happy I still have such a boy. He is growing up."
Audrey handed over a business card to Curtis.
"I think since we met, we are somehow connected. If you have any need in the future, feel free to contact me."
Curtis glanced at the card. He said, "You are Ms. Audrey. I truly appreciate your kindness. I'll keep this. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Then I won't bother you. You can continue your way." Curtis said tactfully.
"Alright. See you another day."
Just now, Audrey was standing behind the light and Curtis couldn't see her clearly. But when Audrey was about to leave, Curtis saw her face. She looked so beautiful under the light.
Curtis was slightly stunned.
Audrey's brows pulled together when she noticed Curtis' gaze.
She said, "Curtis, what's wrong?"
Curtis' hands tightened and asked subconsciously, "Your surname is really Koch?"
Audrey raised her eyebrows and replied with a smile, "Yes."
Curtis frowned and muttered to himself, "I must have gotten the wrong person... You're not her. What a shock!"
"Shock?" Audrey only caught the end.
Curtis was awkward.
He said, "Nothing, nothing. I'll leave now."
Then, he walked away with Ben.
Curtis was still confused and looked back. He was looking at Audrey and Bryson.
He thought, 'The man standing next to Miss. Koch looks really like Mr. Bryson from the Cordova Group. Well, I can't be right! After all, it's impossible for me to meet Mr. Bryson.'
Audrey looked at Ben and Curtis walking away. She really liked the boy.
Bryson noticed and asked.
"You liked the boy. Am I right?"
Audrey nodded with a smile.
"Ben is such a good boy. He is cute. Yeah, I liked him."
A boy.
Bryson chewed these two words in his mind.
What if Audrey and I could have our own kids? What would they look like?
"Well, I see. Then we can come if we want to see him in the future." Bryson said.
Audrey was touched.
You always had me in your mind.
She had planned to confess love to him but now... Where would she start?
As Audrey was wondering how to start the conversation, she was nearly run into by a stranger passing by. But Bryson pulled her to his side and she was fine.
Audrey screamed.
Bryson gave a worried look at Audrey.
"Audrey, everything alright?"
Audrey's eyes blinked, "What? I'm fine."
"You were absent-minded just now. It is not the first time. Tell me what happened?"
Audrey was hesitant, "Ah, nothing. Nothing."
Bryson put his hand on Audrey's forehead and felt her temperature. He was worried.
"But it felt normal!"
Audrey was quite sure she was well.
She was so good. How could she have a fever?
But when she saw Bryson's worried look, she thought she was ready again.
She stared at Bryson and said seriously, "Bryson, listen, don't interrupt me. Let me finish."
Bryson frowned.
Audrey gathered herself and summoned up the courage.
She said gently, "Before I met you, I thought I was imperfect and I never hoped for a serious relationship. But since I met you...."
