Then, she strode to the door and opened it. “Please.”
Brettley furrowed his brows a little. “Are you trying to chase me off?”
Bethan sneered, “Am I not making myself obvious enough?”
Brettley was silent for a while. Then, he grabbed his clothes and put them on before walking out of the door.
When he walked past Bethan, he stopped in his tracks. “
You’re a changed woman once you put on your pants.”
Bethan was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, Brettley was already washing up in the washroom.
She glared at him fiercely before turning around and headed to the other room.
The apartment has a two -bedroom one-hall setup. She knew that Nellie and Neil were coming, so she simply made up the room next door for them to sleep in.
She did not leave her bedroom because of Brettley last night. She did not know how the two of them slept.
She pushed open the door. The two beds were empty. Although the sheets were folded neatly, she could still see that someone had slept in them the night before.
There was a note on Neil’s little desk by the bed. She walked over and picked it up.
(Mommy, Nellie and I went to kindergarten. We did not want to disturb you since you were not up yet. Prepared breakfast for you in the kitchen. Good luck at the press conference today! ]
Neil added two huge smiley faces at the end of the last sentence.
Bethan felt a warmth in her heart.
When she came out from the room, before she could even head to the kitchen, she saw Brettley sitting by her dining table, generously helping himself to the breakfast which the kids prepared for her.
Bethan furrowed her brows. “Mr. Morrison, the kids prepared those for me.”
Brettley looked at her and offered her some of the food.
Bethan furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something when the doorbell rang.
Accompanying the doorbell was Theo’s gentle voice. “Are you up yet?”
Bethan paused for a while. She walked over to the door.
“I’m up.”
“Then pack up a little and head over to my house. I waited for you last night, but I guessed you must have fallen asleep due to exhaustion. We still have to discuss a little about the press conference today.”
Bethan nodded. “Okay. I’ll be there soon.”
Then, she turned around and was about to go wash up when she knocked into Brettley.
He was still eating by the dining table a moment ago, at that moment, he was standing in front of her fully suited up.
She furrowed her brows and took a step back. She asked in a hushed tone, “What are you trying to do?”
Brettley smiled a little. “I’m going out.”
Then, he went closer toward her ear and said mischievously in a suppressed voice, “Weren’t you trying to chase me out just now, Ms. Bethan?”
Upon his words, Theo’s phone rang outside. He picked up the call.
He was just standing outside Bethan’s door. It was only a piece of wood in between them.
Bethan’s heart was about to pop out because she clearly heard Theo mention Nigel.
Brettley, standing in front of Bethan, looked at her miserably pale face in satisfaction. He placed his hand on the handle.
The more she did not want Theo to know about them, the more he wanted Theo to know!
The moment he turned the doorknob, Bethan grabbed his arm and frantically closed the door once more.
She grabbed her arm and raised her head. She looked at him pleadingly. “Don’t.”
Bethan was not sure if the door was opened and Brettley heard Nigel’s name, whether he would think of Neil instead!
Previously with the photo album, she had a hard time brushing Brettley off by saying Nigel and Neil were the same person.
If he knew that there was another kid called Nigel on this earth…
With his intelligence, he would not doubt it!
Moreover, Bethan did not want Theo to see her inappropriate relationships with Brettley…
She bit her lips and looked at Brettley’s face seriously. “Please. Please don’t open the door.”
At that moment, she had no other choice.
Her pleas were insulting in Brettley’s eyes. Did she care so much about Theo? Did she not want other men to know about them? Was she so afraid that Theo would know about them?
The more she did not want to, the more he wanted to let Theo know that she belonged to him!
At that thought, Brettley immediately opened the door.
Air from the outside corridor rushed in. Bethan felt the cold air slicing her face. She should not have expected much from a person like Brettley.
Luckily, Theo has ended the call.
“Lu…”
He raised his eyes and was about to call out for Bethan when he saw a tall man standing by the door.
Theo was stunned for a while. Then, he smiled. “Mr. Morrison, are you homeless?”
Brettley gave a fake smile. “My home is wherever I want it to be.”
“Does Mrs. Morrison know about this?”
Theo raised his eyebrows. He looked at Bethan in the distance, with her stiffened back facing him. “Bethan, go pack up. I’ll casually have a chat with Mr. Morrison. I’ll wait for you.”
Bethan’s face was pale. She bit her lips. “Hmm.”
Then, Bethan walked to the washroom and slammed the door shut.
Brettley crossed his arms around his chest. He sneered, “She really listens to you.”
“Of course.”
Theo smiled. He met Brettley’s gaze fearlessly. “Because I respect her. I would not pursue her if I still have not ended my previous relationship. I would never sleep with her either. Also, when she is rumored to be a mistress, not only will I not defend her, but I also won’t carry her and have close contact with her in public. Neither would I show her off as a trophy without caring about her feelings when another man is pursuing her.”
Then, Theo looked at Brettley mockingly. “I could do all these, Mr. Morrison, could you?”
Brettley’s face darkened at Theo’s words. Seeing how unhappy he looked, Theo could not help but laugh.
“Mr. Morrison, I hope you could understand something. Climbing into a woman’s bed is nothing. The real deal is how you get into her heart.”
Brettley sneered, “Can you get into her heart?”
“Perhaps not yet, but at least I have the right to. As someone else’s husband, you don’t even have the right.”
Then, he took a huge step into Bethan’s apartment and slammed the door shut.
Brettley was still standing in the same spot. Looking a t the closed door. He clenched his fists tightly.
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was a call from Alice. He furrowed his brows and walked to the staircase. “What is it?”
“Brettley.”
Alice’s voice was demure. “I just remembered that Granny just had her birthday not long ago. I did not give her any presents. I asked Granny Morrison out to shop together, but she said that she wants you to be with her. Brettley, we have not gone shopping together for a long time. We also have not seen Granny Morrison for a long time. We’re at the mall right now waiting for you. Can you come over?”
Brettley furrowed his brows. After a moment of hesitation, he replied, “Okay.”
“Then it’s set! “
