Despite Harold's apology, Audrey did not forgive him.
She treated Harold like a slave.
She did not have time to hire a cleaner because she had worked for days without rest. Now there is a lot of dust in
the house. So she asked Harold to give it a thorough cleaning.
When Bryson came, Harold was sitting on the ground at the entrance, panting.
"What's going on?" Bryson asked with concern when he saw Harold panting from exhaustion.
When Harold saw Bryson, he behaved as if he had seen his savior. He quickly stood up and rushed to Bryson's side,
hugging Bryson's thigh tightly. "Bryson, you're finally here. I would die if you didn't come."
"What happened?" Bryson was still a little confused.
Harold told Bryson his miseries, "Bryson, you know what, Audrey is an animal! She is so crazy! If you didn't come, I
would die from her torture."
Bryson was lost for words.
At this time, Audrey came into the dining room with a dish. It was a sweet and sour squirrel fish, the one Bryson had
ordered. When she saw Bryson, she put on a smile.
"Hey, you're here."
"Yes."
Bryson took off his suit, about to put it on the sofa. But he found that he couldn't move at all because Harold was
hanging on his leg. He just stood there.
After putting the dish on the table, Audrey turned around to see Bryson, only to find that he was still standing at the
entrance.

Audrey narrowed her eyes slightly. When she looked at Harold, her eyes were gentle. So was her tone.
"Quentin, why are you sitting there all of a sudden? Did something happen to you? Come and let me have a check,
okay?"
Harold shivered and quickly hid on the other side of Bryson.
Bryson didn't know what to say.
Seeing Harold's movement, Audrey rolled her eyes in the direction of where Harold was hiding.
Seeing this, Bryson basically understood why Harold was suddenly so afraid of Audrey.
...
Audrey finished cooking and took off her apron. Then she told Bryson and Harold to have dinner.
As soon as he sat beside the table, Harold began to complain to Bryson.
"Bryson, Audrey was really frightened today. You almost couldn't see me alive."
Audrey gave him a cold glare. "Oh? Did I frighten you?"
"Of course! I almost have a psychological shadow!" Thinking of how Audrey had treated him, Harold gnashed his
teeth in anger.
Audrey scoffed at Harold, a hint of ridicule flashing in her eyes. Then, she smiled at Harold and put a piece of fish
into his bowl.
"Quentin, you are too timid. I am your sister. How would I really frighten you? Look! I found this piece of fish,
especially for you. It's good for your height. Just eat it!"
Harold was speechless.
Audrey was really a good actress, so good that she could get an Academy Award.
Harold, whose appetite had returned, suddenly found that he had no appetite at all. The piece of fish that Audrey
had put in his bowl looked like a poisonous one to him. He didn't dare to eat it at all.
Harold had a sad face.
"Harold, could you let me off?"
"But didn't you say that you wanted me to be gentle? I am gentle now. Why such a face? What exactly are you
going to let me do?"
Harold didn't dare to say anything.
Alright, he shouldn't have said that. So now he simply shut up.
Audrey picked up another piece of fish and put it in Bryson's bowl.
"Have a try. It took me a long time to cook it." Audrey looked at Bryson, expectantly.
Audrey's tone was extremely gentle as she said that.
Harold was speechless.
Audrey was really gentle to Bryson, completely different from the way she treated Harold. When she was gentle to
Harold, it was in a frightening way.
Bryson and Audrey smiled at each other. Bryson put the fish into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"Yes, it tastes good."
Audrey raised an eyebrow. "I'm not bragging. But I'm really good at cooking sweet and sour squirrel fish. It's better
than the ones offered by many restaurants!"
Bryson stroked Audrey's cheek with admiration.

Harold was lost for word.
Harold felt a serious blow.
The serious internal injuries from Audrey had worsened because the two lovers were showing off their love in front
of him. He felt heartbroken.
What a poor brother! He had to listen to Audrey's orders and watch their affection.
He should have gone to the research institute tonight.
In the future, he wouldn't come back to have dinner if he knew that Bryson would join them. He was already full
because of their affection even if he didn't start eating.
Afraid that Bryson and Audrey would do that to him again, Harold hid in this room after dinner.
In the dining room, Audrey washed the dishes. He sat opposite Bryson who was having a video conference.
Audrey was staring at Bryson's face, with her hand supporting her chin.
Bryson was talking about important things with the higher-ups in the video. But he saw Audrey staring at him
intently when he glanced out of the corner of his eye.
Audrey's fixed eyes looked attractive.
Bryson calmly finished the meeting and closed the laptop.
As soon as he did that, Bryson reached out to pull Audrey. But Audrey quickly put her hand between the two of
them, so Bryson only kissed the back of her hand.
Bryson frowned as he looked at the hand between the two of them, his face somewhat unhappy.
"What's wrong?"
Audrey looked at Bryson with a smile.
"You've had dinner now, and... You're very satisfied with the dishes. Shouldn't you offer something in return?"
