I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060: Did My Stubbornness Push You Away?

Hearing Sandy's response, a smile tugged at the corners of Brandon's lips. "Hungry?"

Sandy nodded and replied, "Are you cooking?"

"Yes, it's almost ready," Brandon confirmed.

Initially, Brandon had intended to have Berton arrange for food from a restaurant, but considering Sandy was still sleeping and he wasn't sure when she would wake up, he had ultimately opted to have Berton bring ingredients and cook himself.

Sandy released her hold on Brandon and said, "Go ahead and cook."

With an agreement, Brandon helped Sandy find her slippers before heading to the kitchen. He left the slippers near her feet. "Don't run around barefoot."

Sandy nodded and, like a boneless creature, reclined on the couch. "Got it."

Turning back to the kitchen, Brandon re-entered.

The kitchen had a semi-open design, allowing Sandy to observe Brandon's bustling figure.

After lounging on the couch for a while, Sandy sat up and was about to go to Brandon when her phone rang.

The phone belonged to Brandon, but upon seeing the caller ID, Sandy picked it up directly. "Mr. Lawrence?"

"It's me, Sandy," came Yanis's voice from the other end.

Hearing Yanis's voice, Sandy's tone softened. "Yanis."

"Has your sister arrived?" Yanis inquired softly.

Sandy responded with an affirmative, "She arrived this morning."

Upon hearing Sandy's words, she seemed to have a sense of Yanis's intention for the call. Glancing toward the kitchen, she reassured him, "Yanis, don't worry. I'm fine, and we're fine."

On the other end of the line, Yanis let out a relieved sigh. "You're all grown up now. Be a good girl."

Sandy acknowledged with a sound, "I got a bit carried away this time."

Sandy wasn't typically one to act recklessly. Her behavior this time might have been due to excessive emotional response, perhaps more than warranted.

Having learned from Stella's experience, Sandy likely didn't have the ability to think clearly when she heard the rumors about Brandon and Olive, let alone consider the situation rationally. She just crumbled in an instant.

If Sandy had managed to retain a bit of reason at that moment, things might not have turned out the way they did.

When she had first seen the news, her heart had been in turmoil, but she had managed to maintain an outward calm and said, "I trust him."

Yet, her internal state of mind at that time was something only she knew.

Sandy had called to console Sandy, but upon hearing that everything was fine, Yanis didn't press further. They exchanged a few more words before ending the call.

After hanging up, Sandy got up immediately and headed toward the kitchen, seemingly having forgotten what Brandon had just said.

Entering the kitchen, Brandon hadn't even turned around when Sandy wrapped her arms around him from behind, nuzzling her face against his back. In a soft, affectionate tone, she called out, "Brandon."

Brandon turned around, finishing with the ingredients before washing his hands. He then faced Sandy and asked, "What's wrong?"
