Chapter 1061 Precious Memories
Janetâs eyes fluttered open slowly as the sun filtered in through the blinds. She turned around and
stretched her arms, groaning, only to find herself alone in the bed.
Slightly disappointed, she sat up and put on her crimson cashmere night robe to head downstairs.
She was greeted by one of the servants as she descended the staircase. âGood morning, Mrs. Larson!
Please wait for a moment. Mr. Larson is preparing breakfast for you in the kitchen!â
âReally?â Janet asked, amazed. âDidnât Brandon go to the office?â Janet headed into the kitchen in
disbelief. So, it was true! Brandon was hard at work in the kitchen toasting bread, wearing her apron.
He seemed to feel her gaze and turned around, flashing his perfect smile. âHey, sweetie! Give me 5
more minutes. Breakfast will be ready soon,â he said. He went on looking at her for a while, taking in
how pretty she looked in that robe, and then turned around again to tend to the bread.
Janet looked at his back, blushing at the care he still showed for her.
Seeing that she didnât respond, Brandon added, âAre you still dazed? Donât worry, this sandwich will fix
it!â She smiled sheepishly and walked toward the dining table. Brandon was already behind her,
carrying plates of sandwiches and cake for her.
âAh! This cake is your favorite. I planned to have it with you last night to celebrate your discharge from
the hospital,â Janet remarked. But last night became special for other reasonsâ¦
Janet was still blushing thinking about the intimate, passionate time theyâd spent.
Brandon chuckled. His eyes lingered over the slice of cake before he took a bite. The soft cream
melted in his mouth like ice on fire. He smiled. The sweet aroma of the cake was taking him back to the
past. Devouring every bite slowly, he said, âIt still tastes the same.â
Janetâs eyes lit up seeing him enjoying the cake. âItâs from the same bakery you like. I bought it on the
way to the hospital thinking youâd be missing it. You have high requirements for your food, butâ¦â
Before she could finish her words, Brandon continued in a gentle and calm voice, âBut I could eat a lot
of them every time you bought the cakes from this shop.â
Janet was holding a small silver spoon, lost in the memories they shared in the past. Then her eyes
fell on the sandwiches. Her gaze got stuck to them as she reminisced. After a few seconds, her eyes
welled up. âRemember the first time I cooked for you? I also made you a sandwich for breakfast,â she
said in a thick voice.
âAnd I ate it all up because it tasted like home,â Brandon added. His face was contorted with a mix of
happiness and sadness. After everything theyâd been through, every moment he had spent with her
was engraved in his memory, the memory he had once lost but fortunately regained by now.
Janet bit her lip, trying not to let out a sob. But her tears betrayed her as they plopped out of her eyes.
Yet, she wore a smile as if she wasnât openly weeping.
After a while, both of them burst into laughter. Brandon held her hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
âHoney, itâs all over now.â
Janetâs heart was brimming. She couldnât believe their precious memories had finally come back to be
cherished for life.
Janet sobbed and buried her face into Brandonâs arm. He comforted her by gently smoothening her
hair. She wiped her tears on his T-shirt and straightened up again. After a pause, she said with a smile,
âNow that your memory is back, I canât trick into believing you owe me money anymore.â
Brandon put his arms around her and pulled her closer. âAll my money is yours, sweetie. You can take
it whenever you want.â
A warm smile surfaced on Janetâs ruddy face. She looked deep into Brandonâs eyes.
Brandon pinched her soft cheeks and leaned over to kiss her gently on the lips.
Janetâs mouth was half-open, as she was rising to kiss him back. But she suddenly remembered
something and put a finger to his lips, stopping him. âArenât you going to work?â she then asked.
âIâm on leave today so I can spend time with you,â he whispered. Following her cues, Brandon started
kissing her fingers, slowly moving toward her wrist. Just as he started brushing his lips against her arm,
Janetâs phone rang.
It was Elizabeth. It took Janet a second to compose herself again as her heart was racing from
Brandonâs touch. At last, she cleared her throat and answered the call. âHey, Lizzie. Whatâs up?â
âYou havenât reached the office yet, so I just called to make sure you wonât be late. Today is Tashaâs
last day at work before she starts her maternity leave. We have to organize a farewell party for her.â
Janet looked at Brandon, pouting her mouth. âOkay, Iâll be there soon,â she said and hung up. âSorry,
sweetie, I forgot. Iâll have to go to work soon.â
Janet put her phone aside and held Brandonâs face and kissed him again. âRest well at home, honey.
Iâll see you when I get back.â
âGo ahead. Iâll work a little and rest. Iâll miss you.â Caressing her hair, Brandon added, âBe careful,
okay?â
âYes, donât worry.â Understanding his concern, she smiled and walked upstairs to get changed and then
headed to work.
Brandon stood up to clean the table after she left.
His head was filled with thoughts about the company. He realized how inactive Vivian had been of late.
Something seemed really wrong with it.
In the kitchen, Brandon took off the apron and called Sean up to get an update.
âHello, Mr. Larson! How are you doing? Arenât you on leave today?â Sean was surprised to receive a
call from Brandon.
âKeep an eye on Vivian. She has been too quiet of late,â said Brandon concisely, ignoring all of his
other questions. Before hanging up, he added, âSort out the companyâs documents and send them
over. Iâll work from home today.â
