The alcohol content of baijiu was high, and after Sterling finished the remaining half bottle, he was really a little drunk. Danna had the butler support him to the upstairs guest room.
Audrey cooked a sobering soup and wanted to bring it to Sterling, but the old lady stopped her.
The old lady clapped her hands and a woman wearing a red dress walked in.
“Grandma, who was she?”
“This is Gracie, the theater singer. | asked her to come and test Sterling!”
Audrey slightly widened her eyes and said, “Grandma, you can’t do this!”
Danna held Audrey’s hand and said solemnly, “He is Zackary’s son. Back then, Zackary had sworn to only marry your mother, but he couldn’t resist the pressure from the Howard family and the Goodwin. family and ended up breaking up with your mother!”
“Audra, if he doesn’t even know how to reject a woman or mistakes. other women for you when he’s drunk, | don’t agree with you dating him.”
Audrey knew that the old lady meant well, but her actions like this hurt people a lot! “Grandma...” 11 29
“Don’t say anything anymore. You are the apple of my eye, and | can’t bear to see you suffer even a little bit. If Sterling is unreliable, even if he is wealthy, | would still disagree with you marrying him!”
Danna grabbed Audrey and gave a signal towards Gracie, “You go! If he really tries to do something to you, just scream and we will come right away.”From NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey frowned at Danna, her voice clear and firm, “Grandma, even if you send ten beauties like Gracie in, he wouldn’t touch them.”
Audrey didn’t want to use such a test to prove how strong Sterling’s feelings were for her. After she let go of the old lady’s hand, she ran upstairs.
Gracie did not enter the guest room, but stood at the staircase, smiling as she looked at Audrey.
“Actually, your grandmother didn’t let me into the guest room. What she really wanted to see was your feelings towards that gentleman.”
Gracie looked at the beautiful and intelligent girl in front of her and said, “I think your performance did not disappoint your grandmother.”
Audrey suddenly understood her grandmother’s intention.
If she agreed to let Gracie test Sterling, it would prove that deep down she didn’t trust Sterling and that Sterling didn’t provide her with enough sense of security.
Grandmother would naturally not easily agree to the two of them being together.
Gracie handed the sobering soup she was holding to Audrey and said, “You take it inside!” Audrey nodded.

Pushing open the door of the guest room, Audrey walked in.
Sterling lay on the bed, with his long legs propped up at the edge. Hist eyes were slightly closed, and it was unclear whether he had fallen asleep or not.
Audrey walked over and whispered, “Drink the hangover soup, otherwise you'll have a headache when you wake up tomorrow.” Sterling slowly opened his eyes, raised his long, well-defined fingers, and pressed his throbbing temples.
Audrey sat by the bed and handed him the hangover soup.
“You were really reckless, drinking so much. What if you had a stomachache?”
Sterling took the hangover soup and took a sip, furrowing his brows. “It’s awful.”
Audrey chuckled and took out a piece of preserved plum candy, “After you finish drinking. I'll give you this to eat.”
Sterling closed his eyes and drank the sobering soup in one breath.
Audrey handed him the preserved plum candy, but he didn’t take it. His thin lips moved slightly and he said, “Feed me.” Audrey fed the dried plum candy to his lips, and in an instant, he bit. the candy into his mouth and sucked on her fingertips. In the moment enveloped by his thin lips, Audrey’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Warm fingertips, soft and smooth.
She withdrew her finger shyly.

After all, in the Watson family, Sterling did not dare to act recklessly. otherwise he would have had too much to drink in the evening
Looking at Audrey’s rosy checks, Sterling held her small face with one hand and roughly rubbed his fingertips at the corner of her lips. “Has the old lady’s impression of me improved a bit”
Audrey glared at Sterling angrily and said. “Are you trying to win my grandmother’s favor with your life”
Sterling held the back of his head with both hands and leaned his tall and stern body against the headboard “Actually, with my alcohol tolerance, it wouldn't be a problem to drink another bottle.”
“Boast!”
“The man who was drunk only wanted to sleep, but now, in a slightly tipsy state. | only want to sleep with you” Sterling hadn't finished speaking when Audrey’s delicate hand covered his mouth
“Don't talk nonsense. my grandmother might have sent someone to eavesdrop at the door.”
Sterling muttered, “Why didn’t you say so carlier?”
Seeing Sterling's expression. Audrey found it somewhat amusing.
“Are you so afraid of my grandmother?”
“Not out of fear, but out of respect, because she is the most important person in your life.”
Upon hearing his words. Audrey’s heart was burning.
Unconsciously, she moved closer to him and held his big hand with
her small hand. She lightly tapped her fingertips on his palm and asked. “Do you want to come to my room and take a look?”
She took a shower, removed her makeup, and did not apply any powder. Her skin was as fair and smooth as a peeled egg. and her long black hair fell over her shoulders. She had an indescribable charm and allure.
Sterling's Adam’s apple slid harshly as he looked at her with a deepening gaze. He squeezed her delicate hand and his voice became h oar se. “Don’t tempt me, will you?”
Audrey approached him slightly, a delicate and fresh scent brushing against his rolling Adam’s apple. Her voice. filled with a smiling and tender tone, said. “So, do you dare or not?”
“Dam n it. Audrey, were you asking for a beating?”
Watching the bulging veins on his forehead. Audrey was afraid that he would actually hit her the next second. She quickly got up from the bed, but he grabbed her wrist.
He pulled her forcefully into his strong and sturdy chest.
Before | could react, he lifted my jaw
The domineering and powerful kiss fell down.
Audrey's little hand, resting on his shoulder, curled up all of a sudden.
The taste of wine mixed with the sweetness of plum candy spread in the mouth.
The speed of the heartbeat in the chest increased uncontrollably.
The long eyelashes slowly drooped, preparing to respond to his kiss. but he pushed her away with one hand. “Don’t harm me!”
He stared at her fixedly, his deep narrow eyes tinged with a hint of crimson, carrying a slight sense of bewilderment. The breath that sprayed out from his nostrils was warm and scorching,
Audrey looked at him with a passionate and seductive look, and suddenly she felt a bit dry-mouthed. Who said only women are enchanting with their beauty? Are men also the same?
Blushing, she slightly turned her head to the side and said. “Alright then. | won’t bother you anymore. Go take a shower and then go to sleep.”
As Audrey stepped out of the guest room, she immediately spotted the old lady in the hallway
Seeing Audrey come out, the old lady pulled her aside and said, “Tell Grandma the truth, have you already had an intimate relationship?”
Audrey covered her hot face with both hands and hesitated to meet the old lady’s gaze. She softly murmured in agreement.
The old lady angrily slapped Audrey’s arm twice. “You child...” The old lady also planned to continue testing Sterling’s difficulties tomorrow. Now, like a deflated balloon, if she really seared away her son-in-law, who would Audra hold responsible in the future?
