Chapter 136 Why Are You Going to Blue Bay No. 1?
Brandon‘s words cut deep into Savanna‘s heart, leaving it in bloody pain.
She bit her lips and said in a trembling voice, “I didn‘t die. You... Why did you tell him that I died?”
Brandon looked at her with a deep and pained gaze.
“Savanna, in a sense, you abandoned him when you went to jail so decisively five years ago, and I...”
Brandon paused. He remembered the day when Savanna went to jail five years ago. To him, the simple pain was indescribable.
“Mom has always been the one taking care of him.”
In a split second, Savanna‘s lips trembled even more. She asked, “How can you leave him to someone else?”
Mandel had lost his mom already, and if Brandon left him, he would also lose his dad. Savanna‘s heart ached to the point of dripping blood.
Brandon held her shoulder. The cigarette burned his hand, but he did not care. He really wanted to question her, asking her what made her think that she still had the right to see the child since she left five years ago.
But Brandon‘s heart softened as he looked at Savanna‘s misty eyes.
His heart froze, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say.
Afraid that she would worry, Brandon explained, “Over the past few years, the Cassel Group has been expanding their business, and I didn‘t have the time to take care of him. Don‘t worry, my mother has been taking good care of him.”
As she heard Brandon‘s words, Savanna‘s eagerness to see the child grew fiercer.
Savanna pulled Brandon‘s sleeve and gently pulled it down. She asked, “Can you arrange a time for me to meet him?”
Her voice was light and full of begging.
Brandon really wanted to refuse her, but he couldn‘t be so cruel.
Seeing that he was hesitating, Savanna knew what he was worried about and said eagerly, “It‘s fine to just let me look from afar.”
Brandon‘s gaze was deep. Just as he was about to say something, his brows suddenly furrowed. With a low cry, the cigarette fell from his fingertips.
Under the light, Savanna looked at the two fingers that were burned red by the cigarette butt. Her heart was seized by mixed feelings.
She wanted to say some words of concern, but the smell of alcohol emitted from his body and the red lipstick mark on his neck were so dazzling.
Brandon felt displeased when he saw Savanna pursing her lips without saying anything. He thought, if it is Lucas or Cain who gets injured, she wouldn‘t be so indifferent.
Brandon‘s mind was replaying the scene of Savanna and Lucas kissing when he went to work the day before yesterday.
Brandon let out a muffled chuckle and said sarcastically, “He is very busy with his studies. I’m afraid he doesn‘t have the time.”
Savanna knew it was just an excuse because Mandel was only a kid in kindergarten. She knew Brandon did not want
her to meet the child.
Brandon‘s refusal made Savanna angry. She could not suppress the anger in her chest. “You said you didn‘t have time to take care of Mandel, but you have time to play with women here.”
Brandon smiled when he heard this. He looked at her with a judgmental gaze, his eyebrows slightly raised.
“Whether I play with women or not, Ms. Thompson does not seem to have the right to criticize me, right?”
All of a sudden, Savanna felt a lump in her chest. They had divorced, so she naturally had no right to meddle with his life. But no matter what, she was still Mandel‘s biological mother, which was a fact that could not be changed.
“Return Mandel to me if you can‘t take care of him.”
Savanna‘s request made the smile on Brandon‘s face fade bit by bit. He looked at her with deep, hot, and hostile eyes. He asked, “You want to steal the child again?
“Savanna, you didn‘t have the right to say this five years ago, and you still don‘t today. I won‘t let you see the child unless you return to me, or forget it.”
Brandon was too angry to be gentle with his words. He directly threw out these harsh words, which he had wanted to say a long time ago.
He wanted to say this the moment Savanna called him, but he didn‘t because he did not want to hurt her.
“You...”
Brandon knew that Ben wanted to be the peacemaker, but there were too many problems between him and Savanna. A few words could not eliminate misunderstandings.
