Chapter 80 Didn’t Enjoy Last Night
“Is Miss Jewell awake?”
The servant’s inquiry came from outside the door.
Amanda panicked and kept shoving herself at Iverson.
Iverson lowered his voice. “What are you afraid of?”
“What am I afraid of? This is your home, not a hotel!”
This was the old house of the Byran Family. The first time she visited, she slept in her boyfriend’s bedroom. The open-minded elders might understand, but it was obvious that Mrs. Old Byran didn’t like her at all last night.
“Just right, let our family know that what is done cannot be undone. Grandma has to accept it even if she doesn’t want to.”
There was another knock on the door, and Iverson was about to reply.
Amanda was so anxious that she covered his mouth.
As they pulled with each other, both of them turned to the bed, and the strong scent of hormones swept over. Amanda let out a muffled groan and was directly pressed under someone, together with the quilt.
At that moment, the door was opened from the outside.
“Ahhh~~~”
Amidst the servant’s cries of surprise, Amanda suddenly raised her head and saw Victoria’s dumbstruck face full of incredible, standing at the door.
“You! You!”
Although Amanda was wrapped in a quilt, her shoulders were naked, and Iverson’s clothes were in disarray. It looked like they didn’t enjoy enough and were about to start another “war”.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Have you seen enough?”
Iverson tucked Amanda in and turned to face Victoria and the others at the door with a displeased expression. “Who let you in?”
Only then did Victoria come back to her senses. “I’m… I’m here to ask Miss Jewell for breakfast.”
“No need. Get out!”
Iverson’s cold words were like a warning to Victoria, who turned around in panic. If it weren’t for the servant supporting her, she would have fallen at the door.
There was a sound of the door closing and the room quietened down again.
Behind Iverson, Amanda was wrapped in the quilt and didn’t move for a long time. She couldn’t even breathe as if she wanted to suffocate herself to death.
“They’re all gone.”
Iverson tried to pull off the quilt, but someone held it very tightly.
Iverson didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Are you trying to suffocate yourself to death?”
Amanda’s bitter voice came from under the quilt. “Let me stay by myself for a while.”
It was so embarrassing. It was fine to sleep with Iverson. However, they had been seen by people of the Byran Family, so the word “indiscretion” had stuck to her forehead.
At the table.
As soon as Mrs. Old Byran sat down, she looked around and asked, “Where’s Iverson?”
“Iverson,” Victoria stammered, “He sent Amanda off early in the morning.”
“Amanda?” Mrs. Old Byran frowned. “Did she stay here last night?”
Victoria remained silent as she said, “Mom, have some dessert.”
“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Old Byran put down her chopsticks and said, “Hesitate for what? What can’t you say?”
The servant couldn’t stand it anymore and said disdainfully, “This Miss Jewell is really something. She only drank two glasses of red wine last night and was drunk unconscious. She couldn’t leave. I cleaned up the guest room for her, but she just slept in the young master’s bedroom.”
“What?”
“Young Master was going to sleep in the guest room, but this morning, I went to ask him to breakfast, and then…”
“Shut up. Who let you gossip?” Victoria interrupted the servant.
It was a pity that she interrupted at the wrong time. The servant had said what she should say, and everyone knows what the rest was even without saying it.
Mrs. Old Byran’s face darkened immediately. She slammed her chopsticks and said angrily, “What does this look like?”
“Mom, calm down. After all, she is a woman who was married once. What’s there to fear? I guess she’d rather it be spread out so that she can cling to our family and confirm her identity as Iverson’s girlfriend.”
“Who dares!”
Mrs. Old Byran looked around and warned them. “All of you, keep your mouths shut. Don’t say a word about what happened last night.”
“Yes.” The servants kept quiet out of fear.
Victoria refilled Mrs. Old Byran’s bowl with porridge and tried to instigate her. “That’s indeed outrageous. I feel ashamed just hearing it. How dare she behave like this in our house? Who knows how she seduced Iverson back then.”
Mrs. Old Byran sneered. The goodwill she had toward Amanda from last night was completely gone.
“I thought she was an educated and reasonable child. I didn’t expect her character to be so bad.”
“Mom, she was divorced after all. I don’t think it’s appropriate for her to stay with Iverson for too long. If she ruins Iverson, the entire Byran Family will be in trouble.”
“I can’t agree to this marriage.”
Mrs. Old Byran was so angry that she quit breakfast.
Victoria stayed in the dining room for a while before she got someone to remove the breakfast.
“Madam, are you going out?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Then I’ll inform the driver to prepare the car.”
“No need. Someone will pick me up.”
Victoria walked out of the house with her bag.
Outside the Byran Family’s old house, a white car had been parked all night.
As the car drove into the streets of the city, the woman gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter. She said angrily, “How could she take advantage of such a good opportunity! Aren’t we just benefiting others?”
“Don’t worry, she didn’t take any advantage. Instead, we have benefited from it, and the old lady hates Amanda completely now.”
“But she and Iverson…”
“So what? She is a divorced woman. What’s so precious about her?”
Although Lydia was dissatisfied, she felt that these words were reasonable, so she suppressed her emotions. “Let’s forget about this matter. What about last night? Who knocked me out? Is it Iverson? Did he know that we drugged him?”
“It doesn’t matter whether he knows it or not. It’s impossible for you to expect him to like you and marry you.”
“Then can I force him to marry me?”
“The Ginos and the Byran Families have a good relationship. As long as there is no Amanda, you will have plenty of similar opportunities in the future.”
Lydia was briefly stunned but soon came to her senses.
Meanwhile, Amanda returned home by Iverson’s car.
“I’m home.”
“Mhm,” Iverson reminded her. “If you have been tired all night, go back to take a shower and have a good sleep.”
Amanda’s expression changed. Gritting her teeth, she said, “I’m not tired at all!”
Iverson’s pupils contracted slightly. “Do you mean that you haven’t enjoyed enough?”
Amanda was speechless.
What on earth was this man thinking?
She clenched her teeth and thought: If it was based on the premise that they are now boyfriend and girlfriend, would she be legally responsible for giving him a punch now?
“I’m going back.”
“Wait.” Iverson stopped her.
“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
“Someone will send things later. Don’t sleep too deeply.”
Amanda was stunned. She asked confusedly, “What?”
“You’ll know once you receive it.”
Iverson did not say anything else and got into the car.
Watching the black car disappear from her sight, Amanda felt a sweetness rise in her heart.
Although Iverson looked cold and aloof, she could not figure out what he was thinking. However, most of the time, he was protecting her, whether outside or in the Byran Family
