S31 147. Not an Intruder
“Mrs. Moore is exhausted. She asked you to pick her up in a
wheelchair.”
Louis kept repeating those sentences as he walked. His footsteps were fast. Either because he was afraid he
would forget the task or he couldn't wait to see the party. When he passed through the living room, someone
called him from the sofa.
“Louis, are you going to the party?” Bryan put away the phone he had been playing with and then stood up
Seeing the man he was looking for, Louis’ eyes widened. “Bryan, why are you here? Shouldn't you be having fun
with the others?”
“I have a little business to do.” Bryan showed his phone. “But now it’s over. Do you want to go to the party with
me?”
Louis nodded. With a small curve of his lips, he took the man’s
outstretched hand. “Was the party cool?” He looked up as he walked after Bryan.
“Yeah, that’s a bit unique. This is the first tI've seen a bachelor party concept like that.”
Louis frowned. “What's different?”
“Bachelor parties are usually identical with male freedom. The groom and their friends often do naughty things.”
“Like scribbling on the walls and dirtying the floor?”
Bryan laughed lightly. “Yes, things like that, but in the adult version. Things that would make his girlfriend angry.”
“Is it by kissing other women? Our neighbor Brandon used to be like

that. He was naughty. His girlfriend was often angry.”
Bryan widened his eyes at Louis’ words. “You understand that? Who taught you?”
“Emily and | used to notice Brandon. Every twe asked, Mommy always explained. Mommy said, we need to
know so we don’t repeat his mistakes.”
“Isn't that a bit fast?” Bryan muttered, not expecting an answer.
“I don’t think so. Things like that are best learned from childhood. So, when we grow up, we'll understand and
not make mistakes like Brandon did.”

While Bryan snorted a laugh, Louis continued, “Even so, Mommy still gives us limits. | hate it when Mommy
forbids us from interfering in adult matters. But sometimes, | understand that Mommy forbids it for our good. For
example, when we were kidnapped. That happened because Emily and | tried to interfere in adult matters.”
With a crooked smile, Bryan nodded. “Then why are you still annoyed?”
“Because | don’t like missing anything. | want to keep updating and being cool.”
“Grow up according to your age, Louis. That is the best way to e life. Now, are you ready to party?” Bryan held
the doorknob to the yard.
Louis nodded. He was curious about what the unique bachelor par was like. “Yeah!”
As soon as the door opened, Louis’ jaw dropped. Several people were having a swimming competition. Philip had
just emerged victorious.
By the pool, several people were arm wrestling and doing push ups. Only Frank and Paul Harris were seen
relaxing with orange juice and sunglasses. They seemed to be discussing business.

“Wow!” Louis sighed with a high arched eyebrow.
“Isn't this unique?” Bryan smiled amusedly.
“This is fantastic! | want to swim too. Hey, has anyone seen my float?
Oh, there it is! Bryan, cswim with me!”
While Louis ran to get his life vest, Bryan shook his head. His lips curved in amusement. “He completely forgot
his mother’s message.” After that, he went on errands.
In the guest room, Bryan swiftly adjusted the position of the pillows on the bed. His hope was that Mrs Connor
could rest immediately without needing to readjust. However, when he straightened up, something resembling a
muzzle of a gun touched his back.
“Don’t move. Raise your hands and turn to face the door.”
Bryan felt silent. In slow motion, he raised both hands behind his
head.
“Who are you?” Bryan inquired with furrowed eyebrows. The voice seemed strange to him.
“Don’t ask too many questions. Do what | tell you quickly.” The person put more pressure on his back.
Like it or not, Bryan complied. He turned around slowly as he asked, What do you want?”
“What do | want? Of course to protect my boss. Now put your hands behind your waist. Don’t mess around or the
bullet will go through your head.”
Bryan sighed faintly. He did what the person ordered. However, as soon as the muzzle of the gun moved away
from his back, he turned around and hit the person until they both fell on the bed. In that instant, a shrill screech
resounded.

“Hey! Wait a minute! Don’t hurt me. I'm a woman. And get your hands off my chest! Even though we're
enemies, you can't steal the
opportunity!”
Seeing a girl with two braids struggling in his confines, Bryan stared wide-eyed. However, instead of moving, he
turned the girl around and then pressed her again.
“Tell me, what is your purpose here? You were sent to threaten the Harper family?”
“What?” The girl tried to turn around but failed. While panting, she grimaced in annoyance. “You're the one who
should say what your purpose here is. How dare you attacklike this? If | scream, your -fate is over!”
Bryan's brows furrowed further. However, before he had tto digest the situation, Barbara appeared, followed
by Emily and the
others.
“Bryan? Abigail? What are you guys doing?” Barbara asked before covering the little girl's eyes. Bryan and
Abigail's position was too intimate. Moreover, Abigail occasionally sighed and her face was ve
red.
“Barbara?” Abigail let out another sigh. “Thank God you came. Quickl call security. | found this intruder. When |
tried to stop him, he just fought back.”
Everyone was wide-eyed. Only Ava was quietly laughing. She remembered, her first moment with Jeremy was
similar to that. However, before she could clear up the misunderstanding, Diana barged in.
“That's the intruder we saw earlier! Gosh, Abi? Hang in there. I'll save
you, Kid.”

Diana looked around looking for something. When her eyes locked on the suitcase, she immediately used her
strength to lift it.
“Wait a minute, Grandma. Bryan is not an intruder. He is Mommy and Mrs. Connor's nurse.” Kara quickly grabbed
Diana’s arm.
“A nurse? Does it mean he’s not an intruder?” Diana opened her eyes
wider.
Abigail's expression turned frozen. “He’s not an enemy?”
As the color on her face changed meaning, Bryan stopped pressing
her.
“Sorry.” Blinking awkwardly, Bryan glanced at Kara and the others. “I thought she was an intruder. She pointed a
gun at my back while | was making the bed.”
“I thought he was setting a trap on the bed. Since I didn’t have a gun, | used my phone.”
Abigail picked her phone from the floor. There was a small crack in the top left corner of the screen, but she did
not dare to mention it. She was the one who jumped to conclusions too quickly.
Seeing how Abigail hid her face and Bryan rubbed the back of his neck, the others smiled faintly. Only Emily
looked confused. She took Barbara's hand away from her eyes.
“So, Bryan and Abigail just had a misunderstanding, right? There's n serious problem here?” she concluded, with
her lips pursed.
The two people on the side of the bed nodded.
“If so, | think you two should forgive each other and make peace. After that, we continue partying. | left my
cupcake on the table earlier. Hopefully no ants will take it away.”
Holding back her amusement, Barbara nodded. “Emily is right. Let's
go back to the backyard. Let these two finish their business. Let's focus on the party again!”
“Yeah, right. Let's go to the back ya Kara blinked at Diana leading
her out of the room.
Diana understood the code “Let's go
While the others walked away with crooked smiles, Bryan and Abigail took an awkward breath. When it was just
the two of them left, the air turned so hot that Abigail's cheeks becred again
