Chapter 59
Melissa didn’t even blink, saying, “Car accident. It was bad. Took me a year to recover.”
Hearing this, Bradley didn’t press further.
Seeing he not talking, Melissa decided to steer the conversation back. “You still haven’t answered me. What about your future partner? This is a serious topic, you know,”
Bradley’s fingers paused on the page. His mind drifted to a woman from five years ago, a fleeting memory that felt more like a dream.
Bradley couldn’t remember her face, only the intoxicating warmth of her presence. She had lingered in his thoughts far longer than she should
have
When his grandmother pestered him to settle down, it was always that woman who came to mind. Without realizing it, Bradley had started thinking of her as the only woman who might fit into his life.
Instinctively, Bradley felt she was a reserved and decent woman. Melissa had given him her Gest time without asking for anything in return. That night, even his expensive watch and wallet, stuffed full of cash, had been left untouched on the nightstand.
TI choose someone you don’t need to worry about,” Bradley said, his voice low and firm.
Currently, Melissa had a good impression of Bradley, and she believed he wouldn’t tolerate another woman mistreating Curtis. However, she was still somewhat worried and said deliberately, “You say that now, but what if your wife gets in your car later? Or if you have another kid? Are you really going to love Curtis as much as you do now?”
Bradley replied impatiently, “I don’t owe you any guarantees. What happens in my family is none of your business.”
With that, Bradley stood and walked toward the guest room. He reappeared moments later, issuing a command. “Make the bed. I’m going to sleep”
Melissa huffed as she headed for the guest room. “Ever heard of adding a please?”
Bradley leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. “You eat my food, live in my house, and wear my clothes. Have you ever said ‘thank you?” he Teased
Melissa opened the cabinet above the closet and replied. “I told you, I’ll pay you rent as soon as I can
Melissa stood on her tiptoes, trying to reach the cabinet, her slender waist peeking out from under her loose loungewear. Her pale, smooth skin caught Bradley’s eye, drawing his attention for a brief moment.
Hui no matter how much Melissa stretched, her height simply wasn’t enough. Just as she was about to grab a stool, Bradley’s tall, broad frame appeared behind her. Effortlessly, he reached up and opened the cabinet door.
Bradley’s distinctively masculine scent surrounded Melissa, and her back pressed lightly against the firm warmth of his chest. Her face flushed red almost instantly, her mind suddenly conjuring a single word. trapped.
Stuck between Bradley and the cabinet, Melissa found herself flustered, with nowhere to retreat. She instinctively shrank back, feeling as helpless as a bird caught in a cage.
“Which one’s the bedsheet Bradley asked, his voice low.
“I have no idea.” Melissa squeaked. “This is your house”
Then Bradley grabbed one at random and tossed it onto the bed. Stepping back, he noticed the redness of her ears. His eyes darkened slightly.
Pulling back, Bradley throw the sheet on the bed. “Make it quick. I’m exhausted,” he said calmly.
Last night, Bradley was tormented by the drunk Melissa for most of the night, and today he spent half a day playing with Curtis. Now he was really sleepy
