Chapter 288 She Arrived at His Apartment
Audrey looked at the note left by Shawn, her delicate eyebrows furrowing into a knot.
Yesterday she had just said that they shouldn’t see each other again until he had sorted out the
engagement matter.
Would it be inappropriate if she ran over to find him now?
It occurred to me that, with his paranoid nature, it was highly possible that he had gotten sick but
refused to go to the hospital.
Gastric bleeding is not a trivial matter, and if left untreated, it is not good for his health.
Leaving the coffee shop, Audrey hailed a taxi.
Unconsciously, the name of the residential area, Bauhinia Apartments, was mentioned on the note.
Bauhinia Apartments was a well-known upscale residential complex located in the city center of
Seffolk.
In just over ten minutes, the taxi arrived at Bauhinia Apartments.
She bought some fruits at the supermarket near the entrance of the residential area and entered the
community.
In high-end residential areas, access control is usually very strict. Audrey intended to take out her
phone and give Sterling a call.
The butler at the entrance saw her and asked, “Excuse me, are you Ms. Watson?”

Audrey paused for a moment and replied, “I am.”
“Mr. Goodwin instructed that, after you arrived, you should go straight. up.”
Did Mr. Goodwin expect her to come early?
Audrey entered the elevator with confusion.
Sterling lived on the top floor.
As I stepped out of the elevator, I found myself in a bright and sp ac ious. corridor.
It seems that only the Sterling family lived on the top floor.
Walking up to the front gate, Audrey took a deep breath, raised her hand, and rang the doorbell.
I pressed for a while, but no one opened the door.
Audrey took out the note and glanced at it. Shawn had even written. the password on it..
Audrey had to enter the password.
The apartment was very sp aci ous, probably over 300 square meters. The decoration was mainly in
cool tones, with dark-colored sofas, gray furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows spanning 270 degrees,

Luxurious and sophisticated, it also exudes a somewhat cold and indifferent feeling.
There were no potted plants in the house, everything was neat and tidy, without a hint of vitality.

Audrey placed the fruits on the coffee table and looked around. The apartment was too big, and she
didn’t know which room was Sterling’s.
She went to the kitchen first and it seemed like he had never cooked here before, not even a grain of
rice could be found.
Audrey found a cup, washed it, and poured a cup of warm boiled.
water.
She held a cup of warm water and prepared to find Sterling.
Just as I walked into the living room, I heard the sound of footsteps.
A tall and slender figure walked through the aisle and into the living
room.
He was wearing a white V-neck long T-shirt, revealing delicate. collarbones, which looked very se xy.
His hair was slightly messy, hanging over his eyebrows. He had a blank expression on his face, with a
hint of shadow beneath his eyes.
He looked a bit pale and haggard.
Seemingly aware of something, he looked straight at her.
Their gazes met unexpectedly.
Audrey tightened her small hand around the cup.
To be honest, it was a bit awkward and uncomfortable.
After all, it was her who made the tough remarks, and now she is the one who appears in front of him
voluntarily!
Audrey resisted the urge to turn around and walk away, and she broke the silence first, “Mr. Goodwin
found me, he said you were sick.”

his silhouette appeared slightly thinner, and his face became more angular.
He had his hands in his pockets, and his voice was low and h oar se when he spoke, “A small issue.”
As soon as he spoke, Audrey noticed that he might still have a fever.
She walked over and handed him the cup in her hand, “You drink some water first.” She then went to
the sofa and took out a bottle of herbal pills from her own bag.
“You ate two.”
Sterling took the medicine she handed him and obediently swallowed.
it.
He seemed unusually silent today.
“Did you eat something?” Audrey asked.
He pursed his thin lips and his voice sounded hoa rse, “Not hungry.”
Audrey looked at him with faint bloodshot eyes. She moved closer to him, and could even feel the
burning heat emanating from his body. “Go rest in the room!”
He looked at her with deep black eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but then he didn’t say
anything, only made a low “hmm” sound.
Turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
Watching his tall figure with a hint of desolation, Audrey felt that he was acting a bit unusual.
Were you too well-behaved and obedient today?
Whatever she said was what it was, it felt like she had changed as a
person!
Maybe he was sick and didn’t have much energy to communicate with her.
After he entered the bedroom, Audrey took her bag and left the apartment.
Upon hearing the sound of the door being closed, Sterling walked out of the bedroom again.
He stared at the tightly closed door for a while before returning to bed and lying down again.
The cold and handsome face was tightly stretched, staring at the pitch- black ceiling with narrow eyes,
revealing a hint of desolation and loneliness.
The sound of a mobile phone video rang out.
Sterling glanced at the video Shawn sent.
Originally, I didn’t want to answer, but after a few seconds. I still answered the call.
He sat leaning against the head of the bed, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Shawn saw his appearance and raised an eyebrow slightly, “What, your little princess didn’t come to
see you?”
Sterling tightly pursed his thin, cold lips and remained silent.
Shawn rudely mocked, “You said you drank until you vomited blood

last night, then went back and took a cold shower, deliberately giving yourself a cold. How come you
didn’t win any sympathy?”
“Becca recorded a video and I showed it to your little princess. If she didn’t come to see you, it means
your charm is not enough. Don’t bother us siblings anymore in the future. Find a way to improve your
charm.”
Shawn hadn’t finished speaking when Sterling, with a gloomy face, interrupted. “You can shut up!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Sterling returned to the Howard family, he dominated the business world, being arrogant and full
of confidence. Shawn rarely saw him in such a dejected state, and he had no sympathy at all. “If I were
given that piece of land by the CEO, I could even help you with your divine assistance…
Sterling interrupted Shawn once again, saying, “Whoever hasn’t managed to win over the little
superstar until now, what qualifications. do they have to mock me for lacking charm?”
“There are rumors going around that you are not doing well. Do you want me to find a renowned doctor
to treat you?”
Shawn’s face turned dark.
I abruptly ended Sterling’s video call.
Sterling touched his cheek with his tongue, locked the screen of his phone, and took a selfie of his own
face.
He would never admit that it was a lack of charm on his part!

I made light dishes and snacks again.
After the porridge was almost cooked, it was simmered on low heat.
She held a spoon and stirred in the clay pot.
She leaned one hand on the kitchen counter, her slender legs crossed. in front of her, contemplating
whether to wake Sterling up for breakfast or leave a note and go. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard.
approaching from behind, gradually getting closer.
Audrey did not turn around, but she could feel his gaze on her back.
The footsteps grew closer and closer. Audrey took a deep breath and turned around. “I’ve heated up
some porridge for you. It’s almost ready. Since you’re up, take care of it yourself. It will be ready to turn
off in another five minutes.”
Audrey was getting ready to leave.
His tall figure, however, stepped in front of her, clearly indicating that he had no intention of letting her
leave.
