Ethan sent Savanna back to the Rose Villas. Renee stood in the light, wearing a nightgown. The night wind lifted her skirt and hair, making her look magnificent.
Seeing this, Ethan turned to Savanna and said, âTell your mother to go in. Itâs cold and she just recovered from her depression. Itâs not good for her to stand outside.â
With these words, Ethan left.
Savanna walked forward and held Reneeâs hand. Feeling the coldness of Reneeâs hand, Savanna frowned. She pulled Renee into the villa. âMom, why did you come out of the room?â
Renee stared at Savanna in a daze, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. âSavanna, you havenât found Mia, have you?â
Seeing Savannaâs silence, Renee became anxious. Although Mia is not my child, I promised Miaâs mother before she died, that I would take good care of Mia for the rest of my life. For the past two days, I had nightmares about Miaâs mother trying to kill me.â
Renee trembled as she spoke.
It seemed like the scene in her dream was extremely terrifying Savanna had always thought that Mia was picked up by Renee, she did not know that Renee had such a relationship with Miaâs mother.
If they did not have a close relationship, Miaâs mother wouldnât entrust her child to Renee.
Miaâs mother must have trusted mom a lot. Savanna thought.
âMom, may I ask you something? Since you care so much about Mia, why did you treat her like that back then?â Savanna asked.
Renee was depressed. âIn the past, I treated Mia quite well. I thought of her as my daughter. Later ⦠I was sick and I treated her like that because I couldnât control mysell. Mia also knew that, so although she didnât like me on the surface, she was filial to me indeed.â
Savanna didnât want to upset her mother, so she patted her chest and guaranteed, âDonât worry. Iâm going to find her. She will be back soon.â
Reneeâs eyes suddenly lit up, âReally?â
âOf course, your hand is so cold, hurry up and go up to rest,â said Savanna.
Renee nodded. Then she turned and went upstairs. After two steps, she turned back to look at Savanna and said, âSavanna, Brandon is in the study. He seems to be different from before. Youâ¦.â
Renee wanted to say something but hesitated, looking full of worry.
Savanna glanced at the study and understood what her mother meant. âI know. You donât have to worry about it. Just go to sleep.â
Reneeâs figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Savanna stood in the empty hall by herself. She heard the sound of the wind blowing past her cars. She sat down on the sofa for a long time. Then, she stepped into the kitchen, cooked some dumplings, and knocked on the door of the study.
âComing in.â Hearing Brandonâs voice, Savanna pushed the door and entered.
Brandon sat in the chair with his head lowered. He was focused on his work Savanna looked at the manâs broad back and felt indescribable bitterness. She stepped forward and put the bowl on the desk.
âYou must be hungry. I cooked some dumplings for you.â
âThank you.â Brandon blurted out without thinking.
His words caused Savanna to frecze. He was so polite and distant as if they were not intimate couples.
.
Brandon did not know what Savanna was thinking. After handling the last email, he closed his laptop and started to cat dumplings, Suddenly, Brandon caught the stiff look on Savannaâs face. âI thought you wouldnât be back for a while, so I came to work in the study.â Said Brandon.
Brandon held the bowl and walked toward Savanna. He scooped up a dumpling in one hand and held Savannaâs shoulder with the other, and acted intimately, âWhere did you go?â
Savanna walked out of the study with him in robotic steps. She answered with a hollow voice, âTo deal with something.â
Brandon pulled the door back and walked shoulder to shoulder with Savanna. When they went back to the room, Brandon put down the bowl and reached out to unbutton Savannaâs clothes. Savanna shied away and looked at Brandon embarrassedly.
âDonât get me wrong. Iâm just trying to help you. After all, you are pregnant with my child. Itâs so cold today and you went out for so long,â said Brandon.
His concern made Savanna feel inexplicably sad.
She held back the tears and asked, âDo you care about me?â
Brandon replied without hesitation, âCertainly, you are my wite. We are married. Of course, I care about you.â
As if she did not want to hear such words, the smile on Savannaâs face looked worse than a cry. She looked at him with deep affection and said word by word, âBrandon, what I want is not a husbandâs care for his wife, but a manâs care for a woman, not out of responsibility or morality.â
Brandon hesitated for a moment. Savannaâs words embarrassed him.
He could pretend to care about her, but he had no way to pretend to be a man who loved her deeply.
He know that what Savanna wanted was his love.
However, he couldnât give it to her at that time.
Brandon hesitated and said, âIâm sorry.â
His words were like sharp knives, stabbing Savannaâs heart and causing her body to tremble in pain.
She clenched her fists and almost collapsed. âI donât want your apology. You said that you would love me for the rest of your life. Brandon, how can you break your words?â
Brandon felt a slight pain in his heart as he looked at the wornal with tears on her lace.
Savanna, on the other hand, did not want to face his sorry eyes and indifferent expression, she then rushed to the bathroom.
She slamned the door quickly Brandon heard her repressed cries from outside and the pain in his heart became stronger. He rushed over and knocked on the door. âSavanna, please donât cry, â¦â
Brandon did not know what to say and what to do. He can only stand straight at the bathroom door and listened to the womanâs repressed cries gradually being drowned by the sound of the water.
After a while, the door opened.
Savanna came out. Her eyes and nose were red, and the corners of her eyes were swollen. Brandon looked at her and felt the slight pain in his heart again.
âHoney, â¦â He said.
Seeing his puzzlement, Savanna was annoying and amusing at the same time. âDonât call me âHoneyâ.
You are not Brandon right now. You can call me that after you recover your memories.â
Brandon saw her smile and finally relaxed. He laughed along with her.
Savanna felt herself being too childish. During Brandonâs absence, she had vowed to lose ten years of her life if he could return safely.
But when he returned safely and forgot about her, she was so sad. People were always greedy.
Compared to the pain of parting forever, at least Brandon was alive and in good condition. As long as he came back, i was better than anything else.
The memory may be lost, and one can also find it back Savanna sighed. She could not put all her hopes on Rafael. She decided to help Brandon get his memories back Savanna pushed Brandon onto the bed. She leaned forward and kissed his neck. Brandonâs mind went blank and his ears were buzzing, and his body was tight like a bowstring.
