NovelEnglish'What? Harold?'
The corner of Simon's mouth twitched when he heard Harold speaking.
"What brings you here?" Simon asked.
Harold replied with a smile, "My dear nephew, why bothers you to ask? This is my house, so I'm
supposed to be here."
Right, it's Audrey's house. As her brother, it was quite normal that Harold was here.
Audrey and Bryson had already changed their shoes and walked in.
Harold took out a pair of slippers that were prepared for Simon.
"You ... Why are you at home now?"
Harold shrugged and said, "I'm on summer vacation now, and I don't have any school work. So, where
else should I stay?"
Simon was speechless.
Harold was right.
But this wasn't what Simon wanted. He thought that if Audrey and Bryson went out, he could stay at
Audrey's house and wait for her to get off work. He didn't expect that Harold was at home.
"Nephew Simon, you come at the right time. I went to the library yesterday and joined an event. They
gave me a two-meter-long puzzle. Let's do it together!"
Simon was panicked when he noticed the countless puzzle pieces scattered over the floor, as tiny as
thumbnails.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'If I finished the puzzle, I would lose both of my eyes. And... who would want to play such a stupid
game?' Simon thought.
What's worse, if he was in the same room with Harold and let Harold call him nephew, it would be a
nightmare for Simon. So, the only thing Simon wanted was to escape.
Anyway, he already knew Audrey's address, so Simon didn't have to throw himself under the bus.
"Well, I remembered I had a date with my classmate. So, I have to go."
Harold ignored Simon's excuse and pulled him in from outside.
"Since you're here, you should dump your friend and stay with me."
Simon clung hard to the door frame against Harold's pulling.
At this time, Audrey had already walked out of the house with Bryson.
"Quentin, I'm leaving. Remember to lock the door."
Harold answered, "Alright, I know."
Simon quickly shouted, "Audrey, help! Take me with you!"
He did not want to stay here anymore.
Bryson pulled Simon's fingers off the door frame and let Harold drag Simon into the house.
Harold took the opportunity to lock Simon behind the door.
Even though the door was thick, Audrey and Bryson could still hear Simon's scream from inside.
"No! I don't want it. Let me out!"
Audrey looked helplessly at Bryson.
"Well, it sounds a bit miserable."
Bryson glanced at her. "You take pity on him?"
Audrey sensed the jealousy in the air, so she immediately shook her head.
"Of course not. I think Simon will get along well with Quentin."
Bryson put his arm around Audrey's shoulder and entered the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Bryson pressed Audrey against the wall and lowered his head to
kiss her.
Audrey pressed her hands against his chest nervously.
"Hey, cameras are here. Someone will come in at any time."
"I've been waiting for two days. I can't wait for another one second!"
...
At the Cordova Building.
Audrey walked into the building, and then Bryson followed.
Suddenly a little girl rushed out from the corner and stopped Audrey.
"Audrey!" The little girl called out happily.
Audrey looked down at the little girl and finally recognized her as Jake's daughter.
"Lunar, why are you here? Who are you with?"
Lunar immediately turned around and waved to the distance.
Jake slowly walked over, and at the same time, Bryson caught up with Audrey.
Jake looked gratefully at Bryson and Audrey.
"Ms. Audrey, Mr. Bryson, I'm here to express my gratitude!" Jake looked down at his daughter and

thank you so much!"
Audrey raised her eyebrows.
It seemed that Jake had received his compensation.
"The Cordova Group owes you this!" Bryson said lightly.
Jake looked at Bryson with great gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Bryson. Thank you for giving me a new
life."
"By the way, would you mind if asking where's Lunar's mother?"
Jake sighed. "Her mother had died in the maternity bed."
Audrey apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jake, I didn't mean to bring up your history."
"Good thing that Lunar is healthy and happy. It's enough for me."
Jake saw two people walking over from outside, and he was confused.
Elvis saw Bryson, Audrey, and Jake and greeted them warmly.
"Well, isn't this Mr. Jake? What brings you here? Is there anything I can do for you? Do you need my
help?"
When Elvis glanced at Audrey, his eyes flashed with a dim light.
Audrey was flushed with success recently.
"Well, thank you! I'm fine." Jake looked at Elvis warily.
At that time, Elvis was one of those people who forced Jake to sell his house at a low price for land
expropriation.
Elvis and his assistant went to the elevator together. Elvis looked angry when he was in the elevator.
"That man recognizes me. Just in case, help me get rid of him and muffle his words."
"Yes, Mr. Elvis."
