Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 107

Hearing footsteps approaching, Brandon immediately fell silent and looked toward the courtyard.

Briar, dressed in a tracksuit, was walking toward them. Ashton turned around and checked the time on his watch. It had been ten minutes Facing Briar, he smiled and said, “Looks like you’re hungry.”

She used ten minutes to get dressed and wash up. By any standard, that was impressively fast for a girl.

Briar smiled. “Yeah, I’m hungry.”

Briar didn’t usually wear makeup, but she would at least take care of her skincare routine. However, today she had come out without applying anything after washing her face. She planned to head back to bed after breakfast anyway.

Ashton and Briar went inside to eat breakfast, while Brandon stayed outside practicing his martial arts and going over the tasks Ashton had assigned him.

Briar took the napkin and met his gaze. “Unless you need my help with something, I plan to sleep all day.”

She was about to stand up.

Ashton reached out at the right moment and grabbed her wrist. His fingers brushed against the warmth and softness of her skin, pleasant and delicate. He controlled the pressure, resisting the urge to caress or squeeze. “No need to change. You look great just like this.”
