The nanny is apparently stunned. Brain"s family firm is all over the country, and the villa in Jiang city is not visited frequently by Brain, but he still brought here some women. As a result, most of them were haughty. Florence Li is the first one who is so polite, and as the nanny knows, she is Nelson"s mother, which makes her feel warm.
"Please wait a moment."
After drinking the water, Li feels more comfortable in her burning throat. She grabs the cup and asks, "Si... Brain Si, where is he?
Hearing her ask about Brain, the nanny thinks of Rodney"s words. Therefore, she explains, "Boss took the young master out early in the morning." Then she adds, "but Nelson is a good boy, don"t worry about him."
"Nelson is not the young master of this family. He has nothing to do with Brain."
"Well..." The nanny does not understand, and she is stunned. Although Florence Li looks haggard, her eyes are still full of disappointment about the involvement between Nelson and Brain. After all, she is just a nanny, and it is not proper to ask more about anything about them. Since Li does not like it, she says no more.
The nanny takes the gla.s.s and stands beside at a loss.
Maybe Li realizes her extreme nervousness, so she feels a headache. Then she reaches for her painful brows and whispers, "Madam, I"m sorry, but I still feel a little uncomfortable because I have just waken up. May I take it easy ?"
"Sleep on, please. Lunch will be brought to you later."
With the door closed, Li lies back in low spirits, just staring at the crystal lamp above. She is not worried about Nelson"s obedience, but she is worried about what Brain plans to do.
Because of Brain and his family"s mercilessness, she is not sure what he will do to Nelson after Antonia"s death and four years of deception.
This kind of uneasiness haunts her and makes her feel a terrible headache. Li lies for a while, then gets up, tightens her robe and walks outside the room.
The villa is large, but it is far smaller than the family"s old mansion in B city. Perhaps, Brain knows that she can not do anything after waking up, so she is not monitored by the nanny who has been arranged to stay here by Brain.
As noon approaches, everyone in the villa is busy in the kitchen. It is still raining outside. She stands in front of the french sash of the living room and looks out at the courtyard in a trance.
She does not recover until the familiar black Lincoln car appears at the gate of the villa.
The rain is much smaller than that of last night, but it is still foggy. Florence Li can only see someone getting out of the car, holding a black umbrella and walking towards the villa.
Just looking at the slim man, who is good-looking and eye-catching, Florence Li knows who he is immediately. However, she doesn"t see her child.
Brain has reached the door. Without thinking, she goes out.
Maybe, she is in such a hurry that she trips on the steps when she gets out of the door. Li falls forward into the arms of Brain who has just entered the door.
At the moment, the light Cologne scent with the wood tone surrounds her overwhelmingly. Brain"s back is straight and his chest is like a wall of copper and iron. He does not move at all. His cool fingers clasp around her waist, and LI trembles when she feels the thin cloth on Brain"s body.
"Florence Li?"
She raises her head and b.u.mps into Brain"s ink-dyed eyes, which look like peach blossoms. Li can not help coming to her senses, struggling to escape from his hands, stands upright and steps back.
"I"m so...so sorry."
Instead of heeding her apology, Brain stares at her for a while, frowning slightly, and finally his eyes fall at the collar of her large nightgown.
"You are using your old means to tackle me again? Throw yourself into my arms as you have just waken up? Florence Li, nice going!"
