NovelEnglishChapter 61
Two hours later, Brandon respectfully escorted Briar back to her place next door. He didn’t turn back until he saw
the lights on the second
floor of Briar’s villa con.
Briar tossed her phone and Bluetooth earphones carelessly onto the bed, grabbed her pajamas, and headed to
the bathroom. Since her phone was still connected to the earphones, she didn’t hear it ringing from inside the
bathroom.
Half an hour later, Briar emerged, clad in a cute nightgown and toweling her hair dry. She noticed the phone
screen lighting up and walked over to pick it up. There were five or six missed calls and several text messages,
all from Edgar.
Briar raised an eyebrow and wondered, ‘Has he finally realized | didn’t chome, so he’s calling me? Or is it
because of the news on the
Shoneport University forum, and he’s been waiting forto get hto lecture me?
‘But since | still haven't arrived, he couldn't help but call?’
Regardless of the reason, Briar wasn't interested.
She didn’t even bother to check the content of Edgar's texts. Instead, she casually pulled her damp hair back,

desk, and quickly got to work on the new task she had just received.
An hour later, the task was completed. After submitting the order information and seeing the additional 3 million
dollars in her account, Briar
stretched, closed her laptop, and climbed into bed, feeling quite pleased with herself.
She didn’t spare another glance at the phone, which had been flickering on and off at the foot of the bed.
It was already 3:30 a.m., and she needed her sleep.
That night, Briar slept comfortably at Moonspring Estate, while Edgar at the Jennings residence was nearly driven
mad by her refusal to
answer his calls.
The next morning, Edgar stormed off to work without even eating breakfast, still fuming.
At seven in the morning, Briar, who had slept for less than four hours, was woken up by the doorbell ringing
downstairs.
She grumbled irritably, wriggled out of her cozy bed, and grabbed the phone she had abandoned the night
before. She opened the video
surveillance to see who had the nerve to disturb her early morning slumber.
However, all her irritation vanished the moment she saw Ashton’s handsface on the screen. Woken up so
early by such a pleasant sight, Briar softened her voice and asked, “Ashton? Good morning?”
Ashton detected the grogginess in Briar’s voice and paused, looking somewhat apologetic through the camera.
“Briar, did | wake you up?”
“No, | should be getting up for school anyway,” Briar replied, rubbing her face. “What do you need?”
“I've prepared breakfast at my place. Would you like to join me?” Ashton asked.
Briar was taken aback for a moment. She thought to herself, ‘He's invitingfor breakfast. Why didn’t he just
call? Oh, | see. My phone was on silent. He couldn't get through, and that’s why he cover in person?”
“Sure, giveten minutes,” Briar replied, not wanting to turn down Ashton’s invitation.
“No rush,” Ashton said with a nod, before turning back and heading away.

Chapter 61
Briar sat there in a daze for a couple of minutes, waiting for her mind to fully wake up.
Then, she got out of bed, got dressed, went downstairs, put on her shoes, opened the door, closed it behind her,
and walked through the open gate next door-all in one smooth, efficient sequence, perfectly within the ten
minutes she had promised,
When she entered the dining room, Ashton was already seated at the table. Seeing Briar walk in, dressed in
jeans and a white T-shirt, he smiled and waved her over, “Briar, cand have breakfast.”
“Okay,” Briar said as she took her seat. Immediately, a servant placed her breakfast in front of her. It was a
delicious seafood stew, srefreshing side dishes, and a few exquisite pastries, all dishes that Briar loved.
