Chapter 566
Andrew was still reeling from the unexpected call when Max's voice came
through the line. “Max?” Suspicion flickered through his mind. Could someone be
playing a prank with Max's phone?
“Andrew, Aubree got plastered.”
Andrew pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling Tessa stir in his arms. He'd
thought he'd awakened her and gently patted her back to soothe her.
“I'm aware, but didn’t Brielle go to look after her? Tessa is feeling under the
weather, and I need to stay here and take care of her.”
Tessa, now fully awake, snuggled closer. “Who's calling?”
“Max.”
Anger flared in Tessa’s eyes at the mention of Aubree’s name. Why was Max
calling about that tramp? She fumed internally, thinking it was high time to talk to
Andrew’s mum about marrying Aubree off and out of their lives.
Max, picking up on Tessa’s voice, understood the implications. It was late; they
were obviously sharing a bed.
“If you're not fond of Aubree, I can arrange an overseas position for her. She can
start fresh there,” Max suggested, his voice floating like mist.
Andrew's reaction was instantaneous, leaping out of bed as if scalded. “What do
you mean?” His tone turned icy, his eyes blazing with anger.
But Max remained calm, unperturbed. “She’s alone here, and with Brielle so
busy, there's no one to look after her. Abroad, she can meet new people and
make new friends.”
Andrew's temper flared. “Can you stop interfering? She’s a Clements, for
heaven's sake. Any move she makes needs parental approval. As her brother, I-
He cut himself off, painfully aware of the truth they both knew. Ever since that
forbidden moment at eighteen, they were no longer just siblings.
Max hung up, ignoring Andrew's rage.
Andrew felt a fire within him, his temper boiling over. He grabbed his jacket,
ready to storm out, but Tessa’s arms wrapped around his waist, holding him
back. “Stay with me, please? Andrew, I don’t want you to leave because of
Aubree. Would you really abandon me over her? I thought I was the one who
mattered most to you.”
Andrew stiffened, his features a mask of conflict. Tessa’s pleading eyes softened
him. He pulled out his phone and fired off a message to Max. [Aubree stays in
Beaconsfield. If you whisk her away without consent, this brotherhood is over.]

might retch again. She glanced at

“Max, I'll do my

In six months, she intended to turn heads.
As Max was about to kiss her again, a hoarse voice interrupted. “Have you no
decency?”
Aubree, who had apparently woken up, propped herself up and glared at them as
they were about to kiss, her face etched with disapproval.
