Chapter 69: He Hoped That She Can Move Into the Moores’ Manor
After wrapping up Shirley’s wound, Bryan didn’t let go of her hand.
She raised her head to look at him, her hand twitching, she frowned and said, “Let go.”
“Let me bring you to a place.” He ignored her and stood up, and pulled her up from the bed.
Shirley’s struggle was to no avail, and she could only let him drag her along.
He pushed open the bedroom door, and walked through the passage on the left. When they reached
the end, there was a circular staircase.
She followed behind him. After descending the staircase, they entered another compound, there was
another straight corridor ahead of them. Above them was a flower roof made of mahogany lacquer,
green rattan intertwined on the mahogany, colourful flowers were blooming from the green leaves.
The scenery was beautiful, and filled with a village atmosphere.
After passing through this flower corridor, they made a turn and there was another small lawn.
However, this lawn wasn’t as big as that in the front.
Confused, Shirley asked, “Mr. Moore, where are you bringing me?”
Bryan ignored her, but his hands held her arms tightly, as if afraid she would sneak away.
They twisted and turned, after about ten minutes, Bryan stopped in front of a little villa and fished out a
key and tapped it on the electric door.
The door automatically opened on both sides.
At this point, Bryan turned around and let go of her hand, “Go in and take a look, see whether you like
this place.” From NôvelDrama.Org.
If she couldn’t already tell what he meant by this, then Shirley would be considered stupid.
“I didn’t agree to move in to the Moores’ Manor.”
“Shouldn’t you consider the kids?” Bryan’s handsome face fell, his gaze was serious, “I told you before,
I will take care of your meals and accommodation. Moving in here doesn’t mean that you are my
partner, if you don’t agree, I won’t force you. I don’t want what happened in the past to happen again,
that will affect our work. You know I have a bad temper when I can’t get proper sleep.”
His face was solemn, his tone cold.
Shirley’s firm attitude diminished a little with his strong presence.
It wasn’t just about work, he was using the two children as her weak spot to attack.
She was extremely clear on how crazy Sabina was.
“There’s a library in there, if you need anything, the villa security will be there to accompany you to
handle your work. Behind the Moores’ Manor is the nursery where the children go to, it takes less than
ten minutes to and fro. Driving to my villa in the front at night takes less than three minutes.” The route
he had brought her just now was a backroad, if they took the normal route, it would take less than ten
minutes.
Bryan intentionally took the longer route to show her that there was a large distance between their
places, so that she would move in in peace.
When Bryan finished his words, Shirley was no longer resisting.
“Alright, I’ll head in to take a look.”
“Okay, I’ll bring you to take a look at the lawn.” Bryan turned around and headed to the lawn.
Apart from the pathways, everything else in the Moores’ Manor was green. The patch of grass was
beautifully green, every step on it felt soft and lush, giving out “swish swish” leafy sounds.
In the lawn was a swing, children entertainment facilities, as well as a pet room.
Looking at the children entertainment facilities, Shirley thought that her two children would definitely
love it here.
“Tell me what else is lacking here, and I’ll get someone to get them.”
Shirley walked over to the children entertainment facilities, put her hand on it and gently touched it. She
then turned over to ask, “Did you get this on purpose?”
Bryan nodded in affirmation, “Both of them would like it here.”
“I haven’t agreed to moving here and you’ve already gotten this done. What if I don’t come, that would
be such a waste.” Shirley indeed felt a little moved by his actions. If Bryan had thought about all this,
this meant that he had really put his heart into it.
However, once she finished her words, he felt a puff of hot air above her. She turned around quickly.
She didn’t know when Bryan had gotten close to her, his body leaning against her back, he laughed, “It
won’t go to waste, if it’s not used now, it can always be used in the future, I’ll bring you inside for a
look.”
She frowned, something felt wrong with what he just said. After giving it a thought, her face boiled, she
raised her head to look in the direction of that man, but he had already entered the house.
It was a two-storey villa, there were three rooms in the ground floor, three rooms in the second floor, as
well as a basement.
In the basement was a huge library, there was a servant cleaning up there.
Shirley pulled out a book and flipped it open, the book was new, it still smelled of a new book.
She raised her head to look at the row of books above her, and realized that all the books were brand
new.
“Did you just get these new books?” She touched the book covers, there was no dust at all!
Bryan nodded, “Let me know what else is lacking?”
Shirley inhaled, her hands on the books of various great authors. All these books were rare, and could
only be found in big book stores. What’s more they could only be borrowed, but he had moved all of
them to his own home.
Only to make it more convenient for her.
“No need for that, really, if there is any book lacking, I can borrow it from outside, no need to bring it
back here.”
Bryan turned around and walked towards her.
Seeing that he was coming closer to her, Shirley retreated, and her back hit the bookshelf behind her.
He immediately reached out to hold her waist, saying, “Be careful.”
She immediately turned around and saw that there were a few books that were about to fall. He quickly
reached out to catch them and returned them to their positions, and said, “Dr. Thomas is always so
careless.”
“I… am not.”
He gave a small laugh, hugging her waist, he brought her back to the ground floor.
He pushed open the door to each room in the ground floor, introducing them, “The ground floor can be
used as a nanny room, assistant room, nursery, there are also three rooms on the second floor. Yours
and the kids’ room are there, there is also an extra room. You can let me know if there’re not enough
rooms.”
She shook away the hand that was on her waist, and looked at every room. The lighting in all six rooms
were good, especially her bedroom, where she can see the lake behind the manor.
The lake was reflecting the blue sky, and around it was green lawns and flowers.
“Do you like it here?” The man suddenly walked close, her back was on his chest, a warm temperature
was emitting from their clothes.
She frowned, wanting to take a step forward, but the man behind her instantly reached out to hug her in
his arms.
Her body trembled, her hands raised instinctively, but the man quickly grabbed her hands, and held
them with their fingers intertwined.
She grumbled softly, “Bryan, you…”
“Just a short hug.”
He buried his head in her hair, a waft of familiar fragrance reminded him of that night, unconsciously he
swallowed and hugged her tighter.
She breathed deeply and started struggling, “Bryan, I can’t breathe from your hug.”
He quickly let go of her.
Shirley turned to escape, but Bryan took advantage of that and hugged her in his arms once again,
lowering his head, he put his lips to hers.
