Chapter 121 Love But Not Own

When Evelin returned, she relayed Jim’s words to Savanna. Savanna did not speak.

If Savanna was not willing to see Brandon, then the cooperation between the Cassel Group and L&S Limited would naturally be put aside or even ruined.

Lucas understood Savanna and did not urge her. If she did not want to cooperate with Brandon, they could find another partner.

In the evening, Lucas brought Savanna to meet the customer. Savanna wanted to smoke, but she did not like to smoke in front of outsiders, so she took the cigarette and went out of the private room.

After lighting a cigarette, Savanna stood at the end of the aisle. Under the light, her fair skin seemed to be transparent like a glass doll, and she bit the cigarette with her gorgeous red lips. Her black sleeveless dress, coupled with a short coat, outlined her slender waist. She looked so beautiful, attracting the attention of people coming and going.

Lucas went out to look for Savanna. When he looked up, he saw Savanna’s graceful figure hidden in the dark. He smiled and walked over. He held her waist and said in a gentle voice, “What’s wrong?”

Savanna tidied her long hair and took a puff. “Nothing. I just felt a little stuffy and wanted to come out for some fresh air.”

Lucas’ voice became gentler. “You have to adapt to domestic life. We…”

Lucas suddenly stopped speaking. He saw someone and pulled Savanna into his arms. Savanna turned slightly,

just as Savanna was baffled, Lucas was the first to say, “It is Brandon.”

Hearing this, Savanna instantly became nervous,

She seemed to be able to feel two scorching gazes on her back.

Even her breathing stopped.

Savanna let Lucas hug her, not daring to move.

Behind her, Brandon, who was walking over, stopped in his tracks. His gaze fixed on the woman that Lucas was hugging.

After a long time, Brandon finally asked Lucas, “When did you come back?”

Lucas replied, “It’s been a few days. I’ve wanted to invite you to a gathering, but I’m too busy. My mother said that there will be a gathering at home this weekend. Do you have time to attend?”

“It’s hard to say.”

The familiar voice was as cold as usual, echoing in Savanna’s ears.

She originally thought that Brandon would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, he started to chat with Lucas. Savanna did not know whether he was intentional or not.

She thought, is it obvious that Lucas was intimate with me? Doesn’t Brandon know that he should leave?

Savanna had always known that Brandon was a man of few words, but today he seemed to be talkative.

It was absolutely abnormal!

After chatting for a while, Brandon saw Savanna’s slender arm and the cigarette between her fair fingers that was about to burn out. He smiled. “Lucas, aren’t you afraid of being punished by your wife when you go back?”

Lucas smiled and did not answer Brandon’s question but said, “Brandon, I haven’t seen you for a few years. Why is your hair all grey? But you still look very handsome. Perhaps, you are even more handsome.”

Brandon looked at the cigarette in Savanna’s hand that was about to burn out,

and its butt was about to burn her fair skin.

He bent down and reached out to take the cigarette butt from Savanna.

His fingertips accidentally pinched her palm. Savanna’s body trembled slightly as if she had been scalded by something.

Brandon saw Savanna’s reaction. His smile became brighter and dazzling as he explained his abrupt behavior. “It’s not good if the cigarette burns a beauty. Lucas, it’s a man’s nature to treasure beauty.”

As he spoke, he took a puff on the cigarette. Then he threw the cigarette to the ground and stepped on it.

The entire aisle was filled with smoke.

Brandon’s magnetic voice echoed in Savanna’s ear. “I fall in love with a woman, but I can’t get her, so my hair turned grey. Lucas, I’ll be leaving.”

Brandon took a step and left. Jim followed behind him and had seen Brandon’s actions just now. Jim muttered in his heart, what’s the matter with Mr. Cassel? Why would he take the cigarette from the woman’s hand?

But from the woman’s back, it seemed to be … Savanna.

Jim was frightened by Savanna’s name which appeared in his mind. He took a step back and was about to take a closer look, but Lucas rolled his eyes and pressed the woman’s head tightly in his arms.

The footsteps faded away.

Lucas released Savanna. He looked at her and frowned.

“Savanna, did he recognize you?”

“I don’t think so.”

Savanna looked calm, but Lucas knew that her heart was not as calm as she

seemed.

Just now, when Brandon spoke, Lucas clearly felt Savanna’s body become stiff.

Savanna had been staring at the cigarette butt on the carpet that had been put out by Brandon.

Lucas said, “He just said that her hair turned grey because of love. I heard that Winnie’s death is a great blow to him.”

Lucas’s words interrupted Savanna’s wild thoughts.

“I know.”

Savanna forced a smile at Lucas. “Lucas, from now on, if I still love him, then I only suffer myself.”

Lucas rubbed the hair on her temples and said softly, “I know. His love for Winnie is overbearing and extreme. In fact, he has been like that since he was a child. The person he fell in love with is destined to not be happy.”

The people from the entire New York knew how miserable Winnie’s ending was.

At weekend.

Lucas decided to hold the gathering for the Davis and Cassel families in the Davis’ house,

He had just bought a huge villa,

Ils decorations were luxurious, and it looked magnificent.

Savana had just changed her clothes when the maid came up. “Mrs. Davis, the guests lave arrived.

Please go downstairs and greet them.”

Svanna responded, “OK” Then she went downstairs with the maid.

In the living room, Giselle and Jolin were chatting and laughing. They were attracted by Savanna’s footsteps and turned around at the same time.

But their expressions were very different.

Jolin smiled brightly, while Giselle’s smile froze. Giselle looked at Savanna, and her expression slowly turned from shock to indifference.

“Jolin, is this your daughter-in-law?”

Giselle asked Jolin.

“Yes. Lucas insists on marrying her, and we can’t do anything. Stella is a filial child. Look at this watch.”

Jolin raised her wrist and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a rare and exquisite watch on her wrist.

The muscles on Giselle’s face trembled, and it could be seen clearly.

Stella looked like Savanna very much.

Giselle thought, if Savanna was Stella, then was Savanna’s death fake? Did Savanna deceive us?

Savanna disappeared for a few years, but she became Lucas’ wife now. How can Brandon accept this?

Giselle did not listen to what Jolin said next. Her heart was filled with anger and questions. She no longer wanted to hear Jolin say a word.

Jolin went to the kitchen to see the dishes. Giselle took Savanna’s hand and went to the corner directly.

“Savanna, what do you mean?”

No matter how much Giselle liked Savanna, she would never allow Savanna to deceive her son like this.

Savanna looked at Giselle with calm eyes. “Mrs. Cassel, you hurt me.”

Giselle said, “You know pain. Do you know how we got through the past few

years?”

In the face of Giselle’s angry questioning, Savanna was still calm. “Mrs. Cassel, I don’t know what you are talking about. You are Lucas’ aunt, and I am Lucas’s wife. I respect you, but I am Stella.”

Savanna refused to admit it.

Giselle was helpless. She stared at Savanna and suddenly felt that she was too impulsive. After all, Savanna’s corpse was buried in Rose Villas after she died for two years.

“Are you really not Savanna?”

Giselle asked, unwilling to give up.

“My name is Stella Bush. Mrs. Cassel, you can call me Stella.”

Savanna politely withdrew her hand from Giselle’s hand.
