You're The Best Medicine For Me

Chapter 35: Please Treat Me Gently, Bryan

Shirley’s brows were knitted instantly upon hearing Jacob’s words, and she quickly reached out her

hand to take the phone from him and peek at the caller ID.

It was really him?

He usually would not call her number at all, and even if there was something urgent, he would always

ask Jordan to pass on his message to her. What could it be now that he had called her in person?

She tapped on the answer button displayed on the screen of the phone and pressed it against her ear

as she said, “Hello?”

A husky voice sounded from the other end of the call, “I’ll reach the entrance of your villa in five

minutes, so put on something and come with me to a place.”

Shirley pulled her phone away from her ear to take a glimpse at the time displayed on the screen, and

she held it close to her ear again as she said with a solemn countenance, “It’s getting late, Mr. Moore.”

“Mm, let’s talk when we meet.” The call was hung up by him after he had uttered that few short words.

Shirley’s brows were even deeply furrowed now as she raised her hand and started to rub her forehead

subconsciously.

What the hell was this jackass going to do this time?

She turned around and walked up to the two kids after the call had ended, and she proceeded to pick

up the towel in Emma’s hands in a calm and unhurried manner as she continued to dry her hair while

taking her own sweet time.

Jacob walked closer to Shirley and gazed longingly at her phone as he asked, “Is Daddy asking for

you, Mommy?”

Emma had also opened her pair of bright and beautiful eyes wide as she uttered in a childlike voice,

“Hurry up and go to Daddy, Mommy. The nanny will help to blow dry my hair, and I will behave myself.”

Shirley could only feel helpless and distressed after seeing that her two children were so well-behaved.

Ever since she had taken over Bryan’s case, she had not been able to put them to sleep as she had to

work at night.

It was not feasible to continue like this for a long period; hence she had set herself a goal to try to treat

Bryan’s sleep disorder in three months’ time.

Her goal was to train him to the extent that he could fall asleep by himself without her presence by his

side. If it had come to that stage, that would mean that he had completed his treatment, and she could

bring an end to the life that she had been living now.

The nanny whom was hired by Mildred had walked into the room at that moment to bring the two kids

away.

Shirley’s phone had rung again just then, and it was from Bryan expectedly.

She pushed open the closet door and brought out a set of casual wide-leg jumpsuit with no intention to

pick up the call, and she promptly went into her dressing room to get dressed while leaving her phone

to ring incessantly.

The ringtone had stopped on its own after she had not picked it up, but it promptly rang again after just

a short while.

Shirley was not worried that Bryan would break into her villa as she had ordered the security to keep

out Bryan and dogs from her place.

After she had finally gotten changed, her phone had stopped ringing.

She promptly trotted out of the villa after grabbing her perfume sachet and phone while putting on a

pair of comfortable flat shoes.

Her phone had started to ring again when she was making her way to him, and she decisively hung up

his call after glimpsing at her phone screen in an impatient manner.

When she had arrived at the gate of the villa, her eyes were instantly set on the black Rolls Royce that

had been parked in front of entrance.

Bryan was leaning against the front of his car while being cladded in a black tailcoat which was paired

with a white shirt inside tonight, and his hand was holding on to the tie that he had not put on yet. She

could see that he had dressed up formally as his hair had even been brushed to the back of his head.

His countenance that was already devastatingly striking and captivating was even more exquisite and

three-dimensional now.

This was the first time in six years that Shirley had seen him in such a formal dressing, and even

though he was just leaning lazily against the car, his noble and elegant temperament could not be

contained at all.

Shirley’s heart suddenly began to race from the stunning sight of him, and she felt as if she had

traversed back to the night when she had first met him six years ago.

The familiar feeling of palpitations had violently struck her heart again and again as she continued to

make her way to him.

It was not like she… was unmoved by him six years ago, but the happenings afterwards…

“Why didn’t you pick up my call?”

Shirley’s footsteps were immediately halted as Bryan had come up to her at some point which was

unbeknownst to her while wearing a surly expression on his immensely striking face.

She raised her head to look at him, but when she was met with his long and narrow eyes, she hurriedly

averted her gaze and explained, “I was getting dressed.”

“Get in the car.” He muttered under his breath and turned around to pull open the passenger door.

After raising her eyes and casting a glance at him, she promptly walked towards him and got in the car.

Bryan closed the passenger door after she had gotten in and went around the car to get into his seat

behind the wheel as well.

He proceeded to hang the tie which was in his grasp all this while around his neck as he tried to tie a

bow tie, but he could not figure out how to make a perfect knot after fumbling with it for some time.

Shirley turned her head around and stared at him as he continued to wind the tie around for a few

circles and proceeded to tie a dead knot. She could not help but to burst into a laugh as she said,

“Don’t tug at it anymore, Mr. Moore, if not you will strangle your own neck like this.”

Bryan’s face fell in a swift as he buckled his fingers into the loop of the tie and tugged at it for several

times.

Shirley finally could not stand it anymore after she had watched on his prolonged struggles for some

time as she promptly reached out her hand and grabbed his tie while saying, “Let me have a try.”

His action was paused abruptly as he looked up at the woman whom had gotten closer to him. She had

not put on any makeup at all, and her bare skin was smooth and fair while her features were also

extremely delicate and captivating. Most of all, a mesmerizing scent would always exude from her body

every time she had approached him which was capable of alluring him and capturing his attention.

He could not help but to move closer to her after detecting that pleasant scent.

After coming into contact with her for more than half a month, he had no feelings of repulsion towards

this woman; on the contrary, he really favored her proximity.

Bryan narrowed his eyes and asked in a husky tone, “Are you done?”

“Not yet!”

As soon as Shirley had replied him, he suddenly jerked forward and leaned closer to her.

She was taken aback by his abrupt action as she immediately backed away from him while tugging at

his tie. She raised her head to stare at him while wearing a guard on her expression, “What’re you

trying to do?”

“I’m getting closer so you could untie it with more ease.”

“Oh!” Shirley’s face had turned slightly flushed from his words, but she promptly lowered her head and

continued to untie the dead knot on his tie.

However, the atmosphere in the car had slowly turned ambiguous and abnormal ever since he had

inched closer to her.

His scorching breath kept spraying on her face from time to time due to their proximity with each other,

and the masculinity emanating from his breath had gradually engulfed her whole body and heart.

His presence was too strong to the extent that she could not just ignore him especially when he was

this close to her.

If this persisted, she could not focus on untying the knot at all.

Shirley could not stand the pressure anymore after some time, so she placed her hand on his chest to

try to push him further away from her.

However, who would have thought that his whole body would fall backwards when she had just given

him a light push? As a result, she had propelled forward as well due to his abrupt movement, and with

that, she had draped herself all over him.

Shirley’s mind went blank in an instant…

What had just happened?

She was just trying to get him to stay back for a bit.

Why was he so frail and not capable of withstanding such a light push?

It was at this moment that his deep chuckle had sounded from the top of her head, “Seems like you

could hardly contain the urge to fling yourself at me, Dr. Thomas.”

Shirley’s face was flushed scarlet at once, and she abruptly raised her head while placing both her

hands on his chest as she denied, “I… No, that was just…” NôvelDrama.Org content.

“I know!” His gaze was instantly set on her lips as he abruptly cut off her explanation.

Her lips still looked glossy and plump with rosiness even though she had not put anything on them

most of the days.

The sight of her lips would always remind him the sensation that he had felt when he had stolen a few

pecks on her lips while she was asleep at night.

He had not dared to kiss her deeply for a few times as he was afraid that he would wake her up, but

now he felt like he was seized with a sudden impulse to want more of her lips.

When Shirley was about to get off him, Bryan suddenly lifted his upper body and placed his left hand

on the back of her neck to press her closer to him as he held her lips in his mouth accurately.

“Mm…” Their lips had smacked against each other as he started to kiss her passionately.

Shirley stared in incredulity at the man whom was below her with her eyes wide open as she was

utterly bewildered by the current situation.

Bryan gazed at her quietly with his eyelids drooped, but his lips and teeth were still striking her every

sense in various directions continuously.

She was confounded by his ambush that she had no idea how to fight back, so she could only glare at

him blankly and allow herself to be treated in an unkind way …

After what seemed like an eternity, Shirley abruptly came to her senses as she raised her head and

pressed her elbows against his shoulders while staring at him in a trance.

“Do you like it?” His thin lips curled into a smile as he asked in return.

Shirley’s eyelids fluttered violently upon hearing his tease as he had blatantly provoked her by asking

her this kind of embarrassing question. Now that he had the audacity to ask her that, she instantly flew

into a rage out of humiliation as she raised her palm and swiftly gave him a slap across the face.

However, Bryan had managed to catch hold of her hand that was swinging at him in time, and he

quickly reached out another hand and placed it on her waist, pressing her down and closer to him as

he kissed her once again…
