Chapter 229 It Was Him
The warm water slid down Beatrice’s throat, soothing the discomfort she had felt. She gradually settled down, and the warm fingertips of the person in front of her gently brushed against her lips, as if touching something precious.
He got closer and closer, his hot breath falling on Beatrice’s face.
She instinctively held her breath, although everything in front of her was blurry, she could feel that he was very close to her.
moved even
As soon as they moved
little, their lips would touch each other.
At this moment, the effect of the medicine had fully taken hold, and Beatrice’s body went limp as she collapsed directly onto the sofa.
Soon, a tall and strong figure approached, tightly embracing her in his arms, with the sound of his heartbeat filling her ears.
But it also brings comfort.
In a daze, a soft touch was felt on her forehead.
“Go to sleep.”
The deep voice, as if possessing magic, made Beatrice peacefully fall into darkness.
Beatrice opened her eyes again, looked at the white ceiling, and raised her hand to touch her forehead.
Fortunately, the fever subsided.
I just didn’t have any strength.
She reached out to grab the cup on the table, but she couldn’t reach it no matter how hard she tried.
A hand reached over and stuffed the water cup into her hand.
“Awake?”
That sound…
After Beatrice looked up and saw

front of her clearly, she stood frozen in place.
“Mr. Soder? How did you end up in
my
house?”
Odin reached out to help her sit up and drink water, explaining, “Don’t misunderstand, I was passing by your studio and wanted to ask about the design. Your colleague said you were sick, so I asked for the address to come and check on you. But no matter how I called or knocked on the door, you didn’t respond. Luckily, your neighbor came back and she had your key, so she opened the door and came in to check on
you.
Beatrice and Audrey were both single women, so in order to prevent anything from happening to each other, they each kept a spare key for the other.
She held the water cup and said thank you, feeling a bit embarrassed and not daring to look at Odin.
So, was the person just now Odin?
She raised her eyes slightly and scanned the room, as if searching for something

But apart from Odin, there was no trace of anyone
else.
Suddenly, she felt that her actions were somewhat unnecessary and appeared ridiculous. After Odin noticed her gaze, he asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Beatrice snapped back to reality and said, “Much better.”
“Let’s go eat something, it will make us feel better.” Odin pointed to the dining table.
Beatrice looked around and was surprised to find a steaming bowl of millet porridge on the table, along with her favorite snacks.
She was startled and got up, but she ignored her physical weakness. In an instant of standing. everything went black before her eyes, but luckily Odin helped her
“Let’s go, I’ll support you.”
“Okay.”
The two of them sat down in front of the table.
- up.
Beatrice picked up the bowl and could tell from the smoothness of the porridge that it was not bought from outside, and the simmering time was not short..
So the person who just took care of her was really Odin.
She clenched the spoon, shame enveloped with complex emotions, making her lose her appetite.
“Don’t like it?” Odin looked at her.
“No, thank you. I troubled you.”
Beatrice stuffed half a bowl of porridge into her mouth, took two bites of the snacks, and found them tasteless.
After putting down the bowl, Odin handed over a glass of water and a pill
“This medicine was taken with meals, otherwise it would cause discomfort in the stomach.”
Looking at the considerate Odin, Beatrice recalled the ethereal scenes just now, especially the last one where she felt like someone kissed her forehead.
She awkwardly spoke up, “Mr. Soder, I had a fever just now, so that’s why…”
The words were not finished yet when Audrey suddenly pushed the door open.
“Beatrice, did you wake up? Are
you okay?”
“It’s all right.”
As soon as Beatrice finished speaking, she noticed that Audrey’s gaze towards Odin was off.
As soon as Audrey thought about Audrey’s gossip enthusiasm, she immediately shouted in her heart that it was not good. She just wanted to stop, but she was a step too late.
Audrey crossed her arms and pointed her finger directly at Odin, saying, “Alright then! So it was you, you unfaithful man!”
Odin was taken aback.
“Unfaithful man?”
“Hey hey, still not admitting it? Don’t think that I couldn’t recognize you when you had your face covered back then. You dare to come and provoke our family Beatrice without even changing

your appearance. I said, I saw you earlier and wondered why you looked so familiar!” Audrey pointed at Odin’s suit.
Beatrice only just realized that Odin’s suit and the one he wore when he escorted her back were from the same brand.
Apart from very subtle differences, they look exactly the same in the eyes of ordinary people. Odin and Caden had similar body shapes, no wonder Audrey would mistake them. “Audrey, it wasn’t like you thought,” Beatrice explained hastily.
Unfortunately, Audrey couldn’t listen at all. She protected her like she was protecting a little chick, afraid that she would go back on her word.
“Beatrice! You promised me that you would never go back to your ex–boyfriend!” “Ex–boyfriend?” Odin looked at Beatrice thoughtfully, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Beatrice had just recovered from a serious illness but felt the urge to faint right where she was. Audrey spoke firmly, “Sir, what good does it do for you to think about Beatrice now? When Beatrice needed someone the most, you turned a blind eye. Your kindness afterwards was like a blunt knife, it couldn’t kill anyone, but it always made people feel disgusted.”
Upon hearing this, Beatrice suddenly froze.
In the depths of her mind, she thought of something and bit her lower lip hard. Odin glanced at Beatrice’s pale cheeks, his voice slow and gentle, The young lady is absolutely right.”
Beatrice looked at Odin in astonishment, not understanding why he said that
Audrey saw that he sincerely admitted his mistake, showed his talent, and his expression also relaxed.
“That’s about right. You’re not trying to win back Beatrice, are you?”
“Audrey!” Beatrice exclaimed, trying to stop.
her.
“Don’t be shy, if you really like him, be a little bolder. You two are actually quite compatible, and if worse comes to worst, Caden can give you a helping hand.”
The more they spoke, the more absurd it became.
Just as she was speaking, Odin’s assistant walked over with a phone in hand.
Beatrice quickly covered Audrey’s mouth in fear, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl
into a hole.
“Sir, your phone fell on the car, it’s…” Assistant Keyon glanced at Beatrice and changed his words, “an important call.”
Odin glanced at the screen, somewhat surprised.
After taking the phone, Odin slightly turned his body and lowered his voice.
“Um. I knew.”
After hanging up the phone, Odin politely said, “Beatrice, I have something to attend to.” Before Beatrice could speak, Audrey pushed her and said, “Let Beatrice go, I will take care of the
dishes.”
In helplessness, Beatrice had no choice but to put on her coat and excon Odin downstairs. “Audrey was not a bad person, she was just too enthusiastic and a little spipy? “Beatrice, actually I really felt that she was right.”
Beatrice had just wanted to ask which sentence when she looked up and met Odin’s intense phoenix eyes.
She seemed to vaguely guess which sentence it was.
But she didn’t have that kind of minder, especially since Odin was Bella’s brother.
“Mr. Soder, take care. Beatrice changed the subject.
Odin didn’t ask further questions and nodded.
Walking out of the apartment building, a gust of cold wind blew, causing Beatrice to shrink her
neck.
Odin turned around and stood in front of the wind, helping her adjust her clothes: “Go back, it’s too cold outside.”
“Um.”
Out of politeness, Beatrice still watched him get on the car.
When she turned around, she felt someone staring at her, their gaze like a flame in the winter, rushing towards her.
She turned around and looked at a patch of ground without snow, chuckled self–deprecatingly, and walked away.
not
After going upstairs, Audrey washed the dishes and came out. I also made ginger tea for her Beatrice said thank you and then added, “Audrey, he was my ex–boyfriend Audrey wiped her hands and smirked, “I knew it, but he didn’t deny it, and the way he looked at you was far from innocent.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Beatrice didn’t want to gossip with her, so she pretended to drink Tea. Audrey chuckled softly, got up and prepared to leave, but suddenly thought of something and
turned back.
“By the way, Beatrice, next time don’t leave valuable things in the kitchen. I put them on the shelf for you. Remember to keep them safe.”
“What valuable items?” Beatrice didn’t understand.
