Savanna seemed not satisfied with Brandonâs self-restraint. She rubbed his short hair, raised her head, and whispered in his ear, âBe yourself.â
The scent of their perfumes, one sweet and the other fresh, mixed together. And their quick breaths could be heard clearly. So After they were separated for too long, Brandonâs desire for Savanna went wild, and could finally be released.
He bit her lips and kissed her fiercely.
A beautiful night after a long time of separation.
Brandon slowed down, afraid that Savanna would not be able to withstand it.
For the entire night, Savanna hugged Brandon.
Unwilling to let go.
The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning came in through the window and fell on Savannaâs fair and tender face, making her look even radiant.
It also fell on Brandonâs outlined facial features and deep eyes. He was staring at Savanna, who was still sleeping.
The chirp of birds came from outside from time to time. Savanna opened her eyes and saw Brandonâs face.
His straightforward gaze caused her face to turn red suddenly.
âYouâ¦â
âMorning, darling.â Brandon hooked onto a strand of hair at the corner of Savannaâs mouth with his long fingers and gently tucked it behind her ear.
âMorning.â Savanna did not dare meet his overly enthusiastic gaze. She mbante grabbed the quilt to wrap around her waist and jumped out of bed into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Savanna changed into her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
Brandon had gotten up and was sitting on the bed to get dressed. Savanna no longer looked at him and turned to walk out of the living room.
When Brandon went downstairs, Savanna had made breakfast.
Brandon looked at the breakfast on the table. There was a fried egg, a glass of hot milk, two sandwiches, and a fruit salad.
Mango and grapes were his favorite.
âIn the future, whatever you want to eat, I will cook for you. You donât have to do it.â
Brandon said, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun.
Savanna turned her head away and drank the milk in her glass.
After she finished drinking the milk, she took out an agreement from her bag and placed it in front of Brandon.
Brandon looked at Savanna suspiciously and then read the agreement. It read, âTo cure Mandel, after discussion, Savanna Thompson and Brandon Cassel reached an agreement as follows. First, the two parties are willing to have a child in order to save Mandel. Second, Savanna Thompson should have custody of the child. Brandon Cassel canât interfere in it. Third, the two partiesâ cohabitation will end on Savannaâs pregnancy.â
âWhat do you mean?â Brandon frowned and said in a low voice, âSavanna, the child hasnât even been born yet. But you want to draw a line with me?â
Brandon was unable to accept this agreement.
If last night he was in heaven, then he was now in hell.
Savanna seemed to have thought of everything and even prepared the answer to Brandonâs question.
She blurted out, âBrandon, we all know what happened last night was all for Mandel. We canât return to the past anymore.â
Brandon was greatly shocked by Savannaâs words.
He almost failed to stand stable. He felt cold and trembled as if he was soaked in an icehouse. He smiled bitterly. âSavanna, you were so passionate last night, but you were just acting, right? So, you can do that to a man you donât like.â
Savanna didnât want to explain more. Brandon had once completely disappointed her, and how could she pretend to care about nothing?
âItâs up to you whether you want to sign this agreement or not. I can go back to Philadelphia with you, but after I get pregnant, I will move out of the Youngâs house.â
Savanna told herself that she couldnât be soft-hearted.
She did not want to experience the pain of losing Mandel again.
She understood Brandonâs personality too well. Because of that, she had to be wary of him.
Brandon gritted his teeth. âIf you want me to sign, Iâll sign it for you.â
To make Savanna at ease, Brandon took a pen and wrote down his name in the agreement âThank you.â Savannaâs tone was polite and distant. She took the agreement and wrote down her name.
âThere are two copies. This is for you.â
As she spoke, Savanna pulled out a copy and handed it to Brandon. Brandon did not take it but kept looking at her. Savanna then placed the agreement on the table.
After that, she went to the Thompson Group and instructed something to Justin and Neil. After returning to Rose Villas, she began to pack her luggage.
Savanna wanted to bring Lizeth to Philadelphia, and Brandon fulfilled her wish.
The night that Savanna moved into Youngâs house, Lorena had the servants make a table of delicacies to welcome Savanna.
Lorena beamed with joy and instructed the chef to cook some nutritious dishes. She also hired a nutritionist for Savanna.
Since Lorena was treating, Chloe was naturally invited. The smile on Chloeâs face was as usual. She had always maintained the dignity of a noble lady and treated others politely. Her hospitability to Savanna was mixed with a bit of distance.
After dinner, Savanna greeted Lorena and went back to her room. Just as she walked out of the hall, it was raining heavily. Lizeth went to get an umbrella. Savanna stood under the eaves and looked at the rain falling from the eaves thoughtfully.
âMs. Thompson.â
It was a soft and husky womanâs voice.
Savanna turned around and met Chloeâs smiling face.
Chloe walked toward Savanna.
âWhatâs the matter?â Savanna raised an eyebrow.
âMs. Thompson, I heard that you have met Mandel.â
Savanna didnât say anything. She just stared at Chloe and waited for the next part.
Chloe sighed with pity. âMandel is such a smart child. I didnât expect him to suffer from such a serious illness. Shelton said that the child in your belly cah save Mandelâs life with the umbilical cord blood. Then you should take good care of it.â
âWhat do you want to say?â
Savanna had disliked Chloe since the first time she met Chloe.
Savanna always felt that regardless of Chloeâs gentle appearance, Chloe was actually good at scheming.
Chloe sensed the hostility in Savannaâs eyes and smiled. âMs. Thompson, you donât have to guard against me like a thief. I apologize for what I said last time. Shelton and I are only like brother and sister.
I only regard him as my brother. Grandma likes me, so I often come to visit her. Donât think too much about it.â
âMs. Gilbert, you are too polite. I have never thought too much about it. I am not interested in the relationship between you and Shelton. However, I can be sure that my child will only be raised by myself.
I donât like to bother others, and I donât trust anyone.â
Savannaâs words made Chloe embarrassed.
âMs. Thompson, the rain is heavy.â Chloe looked in the direction where Lizeth disappeared. After a long time, Lizeth didnât come back.
Chloe said, âYou can use my umbrella. After all, you are pregnant. If something happens to the treasure of the Young family, Shelton will blame me. I canât afford it.â
Savanna sneered. âThe child in my belly is Sheltonâs. As for why I am pregnant, Ms. Gilbert, you must have known about it. With your relationship with the Young family, even if the child in my belly is gone, no one in the Young family will blame you. Ms. Gilbert, donât have to worry about it.â
Savanna was not sure if Chloe knew that Brandon had lied to Loren about her pregnancy.
Every time Chloe met Savanna, she would deliberately approach Savanna. Moreover, Chloeâs words, on the surface, sounded very respectful. In fact, if one carefully thought about it, he could easily understand the hidden meaning Chloeâs love for Shelton was so obvious.
And how could she hope that Savanna and Shelton would be happy?
Chloeâs intention was certainly not to bless Savanna.
Chloe felt wronged and wanted to say more, but when she saw Lorena not far away, she gave up.
Then, Lorenaâs voice sounded. âSavanna, Chloe was just sincerely blessing you, but you didnât like her.
Shelton said that you are a rare good girl, but I think you are like a wild rose full of thorns.â
