Chapter 148
Audrey frowned in confusion, "What do you mean by saying that?"
Bryson stared at Audrey with eagerness.
"I want everyone to know that you are my girlfriend."
If Audrey continued to show up as Elliana in front of Kylee, she would only be Bryson's younger sister, not his girlfriend.
Of course, Audrey wanted to be with Bryson above board.
But... NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"We can't do that now."
Bryson's face darkened. "Why? You lied to me? You don't want to be with me?"
"Of course not!" Audrey was afraid that Bryson would misunderstand her. She explained seriously, "You know better than anyone else about Grandma's physical condition. She can't withstand the blow. Will she be okay if you tell her that I'm not your sister, and Elliana is already dead?"
Bryson was lost for words.
Seeing that Bryson didn't say anything, Audrey continued, "Even if you want to explain it to Grandma, now is not the right time."
Bryson could not refute Audrey's words, which were to the point.
He suddenly regretted that he had passed Audrey off as his sister.
Although they were lovers now, they still had to pretend to be siblings for the sake of Kylee.
Bryson held Audrey in his arms.
"But you will be wronged if I don't tell the truth."
Audrey clung close to Bryson with content. "Grandma loves me so much. And I treat her as my biological grandma. For her sake, I don't feel wronged at all. What's more, I got such an excellent boyfriend because of her. I should thank her instead."
Bryson hugged Audrey even tighter.
"Give me some time. I will arrange everything as soon as possible. And then you can be with me above board."
"Okay."
Actually, Audrey didn't want others to know she was dating Bryson now. Another reason was that she hadn't taken revenge yet. If her relationship with Bryson was made public, it was inconvenient for her to take revenge as Bryson's girlfriend.
...
The next morning, Audrey and Bryson opened the door at the same time.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning!"
They almost spoke in unison.
With that, they looked at each other and smiled. Just as they were about to say something, Kylee opened the door in the next room.
Audrey controlled her emotions right away. And she walked to Kylee's side with worry.
"Grandma, you don't look well. How are you? Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Nothing much. I just didn't sleep well last night. I'm fine. Don't worry!" Kylee held Audrey's hand tightly. "I'm always dreaming. I dreamt that you were swept away by water and never came back. I was so scared that I woke up several times in the middle of the night. If something did happen to you, I would not forgive myself."
Audrey fell into silence.
Audrey couldn't help but console Kylee, "Grandma, I'm safe now. It was just a dream, which wasn't real."
Kylee sighed.
"Yes, it wasn't real. My dear granddaughter is fine now!"
Audrey stared at Kylee, feeling guilty and remorseful.
If ... if Kylee knew that Audrey was not her granddaughter, how sad would she be?
At this time, the waiter brought breakfast over. Bryson interrupted the two women's conversation.
"Alright, the breakfast is done. Let's have breakfast first."
Before Bryson sat down, he pulled out the chair beside him, wanting Audrey to sit beside him.
Audrey just glanced at Bryson and sat down beside Kylee.
Bryson stared fixedly at Audrey without any expression. He signed Audrey to sit beside him. But Audrey directly sat down as if she didn't see anything.
Of course, Kylee did not notice their small movements. Kylee picked up her chopsticks as usual and was about to eat.
Under the table, Bryson suddenly kicked Audrey's calf slightly with his foot.
Audrey, who had just picked up a glass of milk and was about to drink it, spat it out suddenly.
Kylee looked at Audrey with worry and hurriedly handed her a napkin.
"Take care when you drink. Don't get choked again."
"I see, Grandma." Audrey took the napkin and wiped her mouth as she glared fiercely at Bryson.
It was because of Bryson's sudden movement that Audrey spat out the milk. Damn it.
Bryson continued to have breakfast with his head down, looking quite innocent.
Audrey knew that Bryson did this because he was unhappy for she didn't sit beside him.
However, Audrey usually sat beside Kylee. If she sat on Bryson's side this time, Kylee would be suspicious.
Audrey rolled her eyes.
She pretended to be eating. When Bryson was drinking milk, with a strange smile, Audrey suddenly kicked Bryson's knee.
As expected, Bryson, who had just drunk the milk, suddenly coughed.
Kylee frowned and looked at Bryson with disdain.
"Look. You choke on the milk. What a stupid grandson!"
Bryson didn't say anything.
After all, with Audrey by Kylee's side, Bryson was always the one to be disdained. He had been used to it.
In the morning, Bryson and Audrey took Kylee to go fishing and then had a barbecue. In the afternoon, they went back to Peace City.
Inside the Cordova Mansion...
Kylee's screams made the servants tremble in fear.
"What? You want to move back? You live well at home. Why do you move back?"
"Grandma, we have talked about this. There was something wrong with my house before. Now the problem has been solved. So I have to move back." Audrey tried her best to persuade Kylee.
Audrey heard that Lance had returned to Pine City today. Therefore, no one would threaten her anymore, and she no longer needed to stay in the Cordova Mansion.
Kylee was speechless.
Kylee looked at Bryson hopefully, expecting that he would persuade Audrey to stay.
"Bryson, you don't want Elliana to move out and live alone, do you?"
Bryson raised his eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully, "Actually, I think this is a good opportunity for Elliana to be independent. Elliana, go up to pack your luggage. I'll see you off."
"Okay!"
Kylee got speechless again.
Kylee returned to her room with anger.
When Audrey was packing in her room, her door was opened from outside. Bryson walked into the room and locked the door.
Seeing Audrey folding her clothes, Bryson walked over to her and hugged her from behind.
"Let go of me. I'm packing!"
"Please console me before I let go of you."
