Savanna looked at the red fingerprint on Brandonâs left face and was upset.
She made a cup of coffee for Brandon. âIâm sorryâ¦â
She had just opened her mouth.
Brandon interrupted her, âYou did nothing wrong. You donât need to apologize.â
Brandon took the cup in her hand and took a few sips of coffee. The hostility he was showing gradually dissipated.
Brandon put down the cup, reached out to hold Savanna, and pulled her to sit on his thigh. He lifted her chin and made her look at him. He said, âAm luseless?â.
Brandon was such a proud and tough man, yet he let Lorena ride on his head. Had it not been for the fact that Lorena was his grandmother, Brandon might have stood up to her long ago.
He suffered because Lorena was the only close one to him in the Young family Seeing the sorrow and disappointment in his eyes, Savanna could feel his frustration deep down. She reached out to cover his lips and shook her head gently. âYou are not useless. You are just filial. I am the one who dragged you down. Brandon, letâs leave. Letâs go back to New York. Ever since you left with Mandel, I have been working hard. The current Thompson Group is different. It is enough to support us three. Besides, with your capabilities, you can definitely bring glory to the Thompson Group.â
Brandon felt better. Savannaâs words meant that she had opened her heart, put aside the past, and accepted him completely.
Brandon didnât seem to be that angry anymore. He let go of her chin and held her hand, placing it on his lips and kissing it. âIn that case, will others laugh at me for living off you?â
Savanna said, âHow is that possible? We are married. The Thompson Group is mine, so, it is yours as well. Besides, if it werenât for you, the Thompson Group would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.â
She was right. Brandon reached out to help the Thompson Group secretly back then. Otherwise, the Thompson Group would have been merged long ago. Savanna would never be able to take the group to where it was today.
Savanna repeatedly emphasized that they were married. Brandon was more or less tempted by her suggestion.
âLorena kicked me out. Thatâs not the end. Alsoâ¦â
Brandon looked around the room. âShe might take this house back as well. In that case, we will end up on the streets. Savanna, I donât want you to suffer with me. Maybeâ¦.â
Savanna was surprised at how ruthless Lorena was.
She even suspected that Brandon wasnât Lorenaâs biological grandson.
Savanna pursed her lips and smiled beautifully, âSay no more. Did you not hear what I just said? Letâs go back to New York.â
After that, Savanna held Brandonâs head and planted a deep kiss on his lips. How could Brandon withstand the temptation? As they kissed, the atmosphere became more titillating. He grabbed Savannaâs slender waist and gently placed her on the bed. His beefy body leaned down.
Brandon suddenly stopped after kissing her for a while Savanna opened her eyes and knew that he was being bothered by something He wasnât in the mood.
Brandon walked to the balcony to smoke, Savanna tidied up the clothes that he had messed up and got up to go to the cloakroom to pack their clothes.
Savanna quickly packed up their luggage. Mandel ran into the room near lunch, saw the leather suitcase in the corner of the room, blinked, and tilted his head. He asked, âSavanna, where are you going?
âAre we all going?â
Savanna rubbed Mandelâs soft sideburns and said tenderly, âYes. Do you want to go back to New York?â
âYes, â Mandel answered instantly. He grew up in New York. Although he wasnât as nostalgic as adults, he missed the food in New York.
Seeing Brandon come in from the balcony, Mandel ran over and hugged Brandonâs thigh. He raised his head and blinked at Brandon. âDaddy, are we really going back to New York?â
Brandon ran his fingertips across Mandelâs tender face. âGo and ask your mommy. Itâs up to her now. Weâll do as she says.â
Mandel snorted and pouted. âDaddy, you donât strike me as a pushover. You surprise me.â
Mandel ran out of the room.
Mandel had returned to his former mischievous and glorious self. Seeing that, Savanna felt extremely thrilled. Brandon put his hands around her shoulders and chuckled. His voice was husky and gentle. He said, âYou call the shots in our family now. Are you happy?â
âVery. Iâm certain that Mandel will be exactly like you when he grows up.â
Brandonâs thin lips curved into a smile. âBoth of us get jealous easily. Indeed, youâre right.â
Savanna was speechless.
Ben left at noon.
In the afternoon, Brandon brought his family, Jim, Seth, Lizeth, and others back to New York.
After getting off the plane, on the way to the entrance, Savanna pulled Brandonâs sleeve and whispered, âAre we going back to the Casselâs house or the Rose Villas?â
Brandon was stunned. âThe Casselâs house?â
Savanna suddenly remembered that Brandon did not know that she had bought the house.
âAfter you left, I bought the Casselâs house.â
The faint light in the depths of Brandonâs eyes became even brighter. He pursed his lips and chuckled, teasing, âI didnât know you loved me so much. I got you, finally. Tell me, how long have you secretly loved me?â
Brandon reached out and grabbed her by the waist, causing Savanna to cry out. Her sound made people wander and naturally attracted the attention of the people coming and going.
Savanna blushed and shyly buried her head into Brandonâs chest. She wished she could vanish on the spot.
She had no idea that she could be this content and happy when she was with the love of her life.
After getting out, when they were about to get into the car, Savanna said again, âYou didnât answer me.â
Brandon said, âThe Rose Villas.â
Savanna beamed, âI agree.â
Brandon knew that Savanna wanted to go back to the Rose Villas. On the surface, she let him choose.
In fact, she had already decided in her heart.
Tracyâs body was buried in the Casselâs house. Let alone Savanna, even Brandon didnât want to think of Tracy again.
If it werenât for Tracy, he and Savanna wouldnât have had to bear so much.
They went to the Rose Villas.
Though the villa had been vacant for a long time, the windows were clean, and the place was bright.
The rooms were spotless, and the arrangement of the objects in the rooms didnât change at all. All of these convinced Brandon of Savannaâs deep affection. And all this time, he didnât believe her. He even doubted her feelings for him.
âSavanna, thank you.â
Lizeth brought Mandel downstairs. Brandon held Savanna in his arms. Savanna had her back against his chest. The two of them crossed their hands and looked at the slowly setting sun outside the window.
Neither of them spoke. They were immersed in the quiet and serene atmosphere, feeling the heartbeat and breathing of each other and the wonderfulness of watching the sunset together.
It turned out that they could be so happy without misunderstanding or estrangement. They weren longer afraid of anything, even if there were difficulties and obstacles ahead.
Because they were no longer alone, but two wisps of souls that merged. They were bound together They would never be apart. , Next Chapter
