Chapter 180
Brandon saw that there was no trace of emotion on her face, and his burning heart gradually cooled down. He said, “If you don‘t come back to my side, don‘t even think about ... having Mandel.”
Brandon was always straightforward with his words and decisive with his actions. But today, he did not seem to be able to say anything that was too ruthless.
He really didn‘t want to hurt Savanna, but she was too stubborn.
“Up to you.”
Savanna removed his hand that was holding her chin and turned to go upstairs.
When she reached the corner, she looked back and saw that Brandon‘s tall figure was still standing in the same spot, his footsteps not moving at all.
Savanna forced herself to turn her face. She sat on the bed and looked at Mandel‘s sleeping face. Her fingertips stroked the place where her kidney used to be. It hurt every rainy day. This was the result of her loving Brandon for twelve years.
In addition to being covered in wounds, there was also this souvenir of knife pain.
“Brandon, you said you love me. If you really love me, how can you bear to hurt me?” She thought.
Last night, the scene of Tracy setting her up and Brandon letting go of her hand to save Tracy kept replaying in Savanna‘s mind.
If it was true love, how could he bear to leave her hand when it was a life–and–death situation?
Winnie was dead, and Flora was back.
She was no longer young. She no longer had another twelve years to wait, to be expectant, and to wait night after night. Savanna thought it through quite clearly.
No matter what, she could not come back.
As for Mande...
Savanna‘s gaze fell on the child‘s face. Brandon was quite honest just now. If she did not come back, it would be impossible for her to get Mandel.
“Baby,” She caressed Mandel‘s face, “Mommy loves you. I love you very, very much. However, Mommy can‘t live in pain and suffer like this.”
The roar of the car came from outside the window. Savanna stretched her head and looked out of the window, just in time to see the Cayenne that rushed out of the villa like an arrow.
Mandel woke up, his forehead dripping with cold sweat. He rubbed his eyes and said, “Savanna, I had a dream.”
Mandel talked about his dream. In his dream, he and Savanna went to the sea park to play. A man
came over. No matter how hard Mandel tried, he could not see the man‘s face clearly. The man held Savanna and took her away. Mandel shouted until his throat was almost broken and his voice was hoarse. But Savanna left with the man without turning a glance back.
Savanna did not know why the child would have such a strange dream. She comforted him by saying, “It‘s a dream. I‘m here. Don‘t worry, I have to see you win the championship. I won‘t leave.”
Savanna‘s words reassured Mandel.
Mandel hugged her with his small arms and said, “Savanna, if you want to leave, you must tell me.”
Savanna looked at his eyelashes which were wet with tears. Her heart ached. She hugged Mandel back and softly said, “Definitely.”
Not wanting to meet Brandon again, Savanna rented a house outside. That night, she moved out regardless of Mandel‘s begging and Debbie‘s dissuasion.
Debbie called Brandon. But Brandon didn‘t pick up at first. When he finally picked up, he said coldly, “Debbie, if she wants to leave, let her leave. It‘s not like I can control her legs. What can I do?”
After hearing Brandon‘s words, Debbie was so anxious and said, “Brandon, Savanna is a stubborn girl. Can‘t you just say something sweet?”
What a wooden head! Debbie thought.
Brandon lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. White smoke emerged from his nostrils, and the hostility in his eyes slowly gathered. He had said what he should say and what he should not say. Brandon had never been so humble.
“That‘s it. Debbie, I still have something to deal with.”
Brandon hung up the phone without waiting for Debbie to speak.
“Damn it,” Ben went mad and said, “Do you know why Dave returned the Thompson Group to you?”
This woman was too cruel, Ben thought.
Ben cursed, “Savanna, you‘re too heartless. Brandon was blind to fall for a heartless woman like you.”
