A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 281

'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.

'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.
