Subconsciously, Hannah tried to pull away, but Bryson’s grip was firm.

    ”


    As the tension grew, Hannah found herself gradually rxing.


    Just as they were about to ki*s, there was a knock at the door.

    “Bryson, you are really here in Hannah’s room!”


    As she peeked inside, Bryson gently touched her head and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    Grace stopped at the doorway by Bryson, pouted and said, “Didn’t we agree to go out for a meal today? I noticed you were taking a long time to get ready, so I came to find you.


    I didn’t expect you to be here.


    ”


    “We won’t go out today,” Bryson told her as he rubbed her head.


    “I’ll cook, and we’ll eat at home.


    ”


    “What?” Grace eximed, clearly taken aback.


    She seemed crestfallen as she blurted out, “Didn’t you promise we were going out for a meal?”


    After freshening up and changing her clothes, Hannah stepped out and caught the tail end of Grace’s remark.


    “If you’d like, I can either cook for us or we can go out,” she offered.


    Grace’s face brightened at the sight of Hannah.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “Okay! Hannah, it’s been so long since I’ve had your home-cooked meals.


    Staying in sounds perfect! It’s rare for both of you to be free.


    It would be wonderful to spend the day at home together!”


    Bryson chuckled, slightly surprised.


    He tousled Grace’s hair and said, “You change your mind so quickly! Weren’t you just set on going out?”


    Grace stuck her tongue out at Bryson yfully.


    “No! I just want to enjoy the meal Hannah cooks!”


    Bryson rolled up his sleeves and turned to Hannah.


    “I’ll help you.


    And, could you invite Brayden and Lydia too?”


    “Okay,” Hannah nodded and responded.


    She dialed Lydia’s number as she walked down the stairs.


    Lydia, on the other end, apologized politely, saying she couldn’t make it.


    “I really want to join, but I’m swamped with thepany’s project.


    I won’t be free for a while.


    Even though we secured the ind at a great price, the news has spread, and its poprity is booming.


    Brayden and I are tied up with public rtions.


    I’m sorry, Hannah.


    ”


    Hannah offered words offort, “It’s okay, your business muste first.


    We’ll n a dinner when you’re less busy.


    ”


    After hanging up, Hannah saw Maloney lounging in the living room.


    As soon as he saw Bryson, he stood up and inquired, “Shall we go now?”


    Confused, Hannah turned to Bryson.


    “Where were you nning to go?”


    “Actually…”


    Maloney nced at Bryson and decided to keep quiet.
