“Bravan?”
Jennifer came to the bathroom door and knocked.
“Are you okay?”
No one answered in the bathroom.
Jennifer twisted the door handle and found that the bathroom door wasn’t locked, so she just pulled it open.
Brayan’s tall figure just blocked her way.
Jennifer almost ran into Brayan’s chest.
After taking a shower, Brayan wrapped a towel around his waist and left his upper body naked.
The hard eight–pack abs show off the masculine strength, while the wet hair dripping with water droplets gives off a hint of sexiness.
Jennifer froze.
Brayan saw Jennifer at the bathroom door, and he looked surprised
too.
“Are you in a hurry?” he asked.
“Who are you talking to?”
Jennifer didn’t realize until she heard the voice of a familiar woman that Brayan was holding a phone.

“Nothing.” Brayan said to the person on the phone, then said to Jennifer, “Excuse me.”

Jennifer realized she was blocking Brayan’s way, so she moved aside.
She went into the bathroom and saw Brayan still on the phone when she closed the door.
So, Brayan wasn’t taking a long time in the bathroom to shower or pass out, he was just chatting on WhatsApp!
We didn’t have enough fun chatting, so we ended up calling each other again.
Jennifer realized that the voice on the phone was Catalina.
She used to overthink before, worried that if she took a shower and wore pajamas, Brayan might see it and get ideas.
However, now it seems that Brayan’s mind is only on Catalina.
Jennifer forced a bitter smile and cursed herself for being too sentimental.
She took a long shower, by the time she finished, Brayan must have already gone to bed.
Jennifer changed into her pajamas and walked out of the bathroom.
Maybe it was Grandpa’s orders, maybe it was the servant’s idea, but the pajamas prepared for Jennifer were white silk camisole style, with a lot of exquisite water–soluble lace embellishments at the chest.
Jennifer looked pretty awkward dressed like that, but luckily Brayan had already fallen asleep, facing away from her.
At this point, it was already past midnight and Jennifer was feeling a

bit tired.
She lay down on the other side of the bed.
The bed was big enough, so even though she and Brayan shared the same bed, there was some distance between them, and neither of them touched each other.
Jennifer turned off the bedside lamp, and the bedroom was pitch black.
Brayan beside me was breathing evenly, clearly fast asleep, but Jennifer, who had been tired all day, just couldn’t fall asleep.
The next day, Jennifer was woken up by her alarm clock, and when she woke up, she looked really tired.
Brayan woke up with her too, she wasn’t sure if it was the alarm that woke Brayan up.
But she used to do the same thing before, setting the alarm clock to wake up first, preparing the meals, ironing Brayan’s suit, shining Brayan’s shoes, and then waking Brayan up.
Jennifer was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, trying to cover up her dark circles as much as possible.
At that moment, Brayan placed a steaming cup of coffee on the dressing table.
“I didn’t know what coffee you drink, so Whitney made the most common latte for you.”
Jennifer said “thanks” and felt that Brayan was acting a bit strange today.
Before, Brayan could give her pocket money, buy her gifts for holidays, but he would never bring her a cup of coffee.

Jennifer thought, “It’s probably because I’m in the old house, I have to put on some disguises!”
After having coffee, she perked up and started bustling around for the birthday banquet.
As time got closer to noon, guests started arriving one after another.
These guests are no different from previous years, Jennifer knows them all.
Everyone knew that Jennifer was Marcel’s daughter–in–law.
The only difference is that this year’s birthday banquet invited one more person.
It was Brayan who invited.
“Brayan. I wasn’t late, right?”
Catalina walked into the house, smiling brightly.
She deliberately dressed up today, changing her usual sweet style. She wore a slightly mature mauve pink dress, with a smooth cut, clean lines, and good drape, looking very high–end.
The matching jewelry is no longer pursuing grandeur and eye- catching, but instead is delicate and exquisite, playing a finishing touch role.
Jennifer could tell that Catalina was dressed to impress Marcel.
“Grandpa, this is a gift I got for you.”
Catalina handed a beautifully wrapped gift box to Marcel.
Although Marcel didn’t lay a hand on Catalina, he didn’t even give her

a tiny bit of a good face.
“Whitney, put the stuff over there!”
Today is Marcel’s birthday. He received a lot of gifts, all piled up in the storage room.
