I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068: We Can Only Be Friends

Brandon could tell that Sandy was tired, so he led her to the car. However, when they arrived at the car, Stella and Nelson hadn't caught up yet. Brandon put his things in the car and then turned to help Sandy into the car.

"Do you want something to drink?" Sandy looked around and said, "I want an ice cream."

Brandon was initially about to refuse, but when he saw the expectant look in Sandy's eyes, he had a mental struggle and finally relented, "You can have a small bite."

Sandy nodded and said, "Okay."

Brandon turned and went to get the ice cream, handing it to Sandy after he opened it.

"Brandon, I suddenly want one of those skewers from over there," Sandy said.

Brandon looked at her and cautioned, "You should eat less of these."

"Just one skewer!"

Brandon couldn't help but get her the skewer as well.

But by the time he returned with the skewer, Sandy's ice cream was almost finished.

"Sandy…" Brandon's words were cut off as Sandy placed her finger on his lips.

"Is it sweet?" Sandy looked at him with bright eyes, asking.

Brandon's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, "Yes."

"Then... do you want to taste it?" Sandy's hands were hooked around his neck, and she gazed at him with a mischievous smile.

Her eyes seemed to have a hook in them, reeling Brandon in. He lost his composure for a moment. A gentle kiss landed on Sandy's lips, sweeping away the remaining sweetness of the ice cream.

Though it was passionate, Brandon didn't let it escalate too much.

After a while, he pulled away, looking at Sandy's rosy lips. He averted his gaze, handing her the skewer and advising, "Eat a bit less."

Sandy agreed, "Okay."

This time, Sandy was obedient and stopped eating after two pieces.

Just as Stella and Nelson arrived, Sandy looked up, and Stella handed her a beautiful crown. "For you."

Sandy smiled at the crown in Stella's hand, "Sis, I've grown up now."

"Even if you're seventy or eighty, you're still the little princess in my heart."

Sandy extended her hand, taking the crown from Stella and passing it to Brandon. "Brandon, help me put it on!"

Brandon handed the things he was holding to Nelson and then took the crown from Sandy. He gently placed it on her head and said, "My princess, it's time for us to head home."

Sandy suppressed a smile and scooted over, muttering, "You're such a child."

Brandon observed how Sandy doted on Stella and was suddenly filled with contentment. He had worried that Sandy might be affected by what happened between Stella and Luca. Seeing Sandy so happy now truly warmed his heart.

They got into the car and headed towards the city center.

"Are you going straight home?" Brandon turned to Nelson and asked.

"My car is over there. Would you mind giving me a ride?"

Brandon agreed and headed back to the Hawkins family with Nelson.

Upon arriving home, Nelson had initially planned to drive back, considering the late hour. However, just as they got out of the car, Maya and Kason emerged from inside the house. "Nelson, why not stay here tonight? I've prepared a room for you."

Nelson looked at Maya, a questioning look in his eyes. "It's not far anyway. I…"

"I've talked to Auntie. She said you could stay with Brandon tonight," Maya explained.

Nelson hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright."

"Sis, did you really talk to my mom?" Nelson lowered his voice and asked Maya as everyone else walked inside.

Maya had yet to respond when Kason, who was walking next to her, chimed in, "Don't you want to spend more time together?"
