Sandy responded, "He listens to me."
"He just said he listens to you? Nothing else?" Stella asked.
"What else should he say?"
As Stella listened to Sandy's words, she wanted to say something but felt it wouldn't make much difference if she said it out loud. So she chose to remain silent.
However, Stella was glad that she had given Sandy a lesson earlier.
Brandon was overly doting towards Sandy, and he would do anything she asked for. Although it seemed like a good thing, it wasn't fair to let one person make all the sacrifices in a relationship in today's society.
The sisters talked for a long time before ending the call.
Just before hanging up, Sandy remembered something and stopped Stella, saying, "Sis, Brandon said he'll come to Manches City tomorrow to meet you."
Upon hearing Sandy's words, Stella was momentarily stunned. "He'll come to see me?"
Sandy whispered, "I think he wants to talk to you about us."
Stella nodded and said, "I understand. Let me know when you're coming, and I'll come to pick you up and prepare things."
"What things do you need to prepare?"
"Don't worry about that. Take care of yourself during this time."
Stella gave Sandy some instructions before hanging up the phone.
After Stella hung up, Sandy walked out of the guest room.
Brandon wasn't in the living room when Sandy went out.
She searched the room and finally found Brandon standing on the outdoor balcony.
Just as she was about to speak, Sandy heard Brandon talking on the phone. Without calling out to him, she went up from behind and hugged him.
Brandon turned his head and glanced at Sandy, then exchanged a few words with the person on the other end before ending the call.
"Finished?" After hanging up the phone, Brandon turned around and naturally embraced her.
Sandy nodded, then tilted her head slightly to look at Brandon. "Brandon."
"Hmm?"
"Kiss me."
Upon hearing Sandy's request, Brandon was momentarily stunned, but then he smiled affectionately and leaned down to give her a kiss on the forehead.
Sandy raised her hand and pointed to her lips. "Here, not on my forehead."
Brandon chuckled indulgently and then lowered his head to kiss her again.
As Brandon leaned down for the kiss, Sandy tightly hooked her hand around his neck, deepening the kiss she had requested.
When the kiss ended, Brandon's breath was slightly uneven.
Sandy looked mischievously at Brandon. "Brandon, your heart is in chaos."
Brandon chuckled softly and hugged her tighter. "Yes, it's in chaos. I can never maintain calmness in front of you."
Sandy listened to Brandon's response and silently raised her hand to hold him even tighter.
Previously, because of Stella's situation, Sandy felt that nine out of ten men in this world were like Luca, not good at all. So she had no desire or even a bit of inclination to date or be in a romantic relationship. Sometimes, she even felt repulsed by it.
But after meeting Brandon, her prejudice against men had clearly changed significantly.
