Chapter 158

Blake’s POV

“Mrs. Parker, up so early making breakfast?”

Michael’s voice cut through the kitchen like a knife. He froze mid–step when he saw us me standing between Audrey’s knees, her sitting on the counter, our faces just inches apart.

“I… did I come at a bad time?” Michael’s eyes widened as he turned away, shopping bags rustling in his hands.

Audrey’s cheeks burned red. She pushed me back and jumped off the counter, leaving flour handprints on my shirt as she rushed back to her abandoned dough. She pounded it with newfound intensity, eyes locked downward.

I stayed put, watching her flustered movements with unexpected satisfaction. Her blush and slightly trembling fingers gave her away. Even now, she still reacted to me.

I picked up her phone from the counter. “Want me to put this back for you?” My voice came out deeper than intended.

“No,” she snapped, grabbing it with her flour–covered hand and shoving it into her pocket.

Seeing that color spread across her face, I felt my mood lift despite the interruption. I nodded to Michael and walked past

him to the living room.

The leather sofa creaked as I sat. Michael placed his bags on the table and pulled out a new smartphone.

“Mrs. Parker mentioned your phone was damaged in the crash, so I got you a replacement,” he said, placing it before me. “Same number, with all your apps installed.”

I nodded as I turned it on. “What happened to those men who chased us?”

“All alive but injured. They’re in the hospital with police guards. I’ve stationed our people to watch them too.”

“Have you identified who sent them?”

Michael hesitated. “Yes… we have.”
