Chapter 208
Brandon smiled and said in a husky voice, “I’m the prince charming of all the women.”
The way Brandon gazed at Savanna gradually changed. They had been a couple for two years, so Savanna naturally understood what emotion was behind his gaze. She clearly saw desire in his eyes.
Savanna looked away and swallowed. She then said, “Tomorrow, let me look after Mandel. You can go do your own things.”
There was rejection in Savanna’s words.
Brandon understood what Savanna was thinking.
Savanna was afraid that Brandon would follow them.
In fact, he had already made arrangements.
Brandon said, “Okay, you should have a good rest.” After that, he left.
The room immediately became quiet.
Savanna changed her pajamas and lay on the bed. She wanted to sleep and was very sleepy, but she couldn’t fall asleep, and her mind was extremely clear.
She lifted the quilt, took a coat, and walked out of the room. In the courtyard, the morning dew was heavy, and several roses were covered with dew.
In the opposite room, under the open window, there seemed to be a figure swaying. Savanna stood under the tree, silently watching the swaying shadow of a man.
Brandon lowered his head. He fixed his eyes on the notebook in his hand, occasionally writing something, occasionally coughing slightly.
Savanna looked at her watch. It was two o’clock in the morning.
But it seemed that Brandon didn’t intend to stop.
Savanna thought, does Brandon always work late?
Savanna didn’t want to disturb Brandon. She sat on the bench facing the window and stared at the figure not far away in a daze.
Unconsciously, she fell asleep.
She was woken up by a cold and sharp wind.
The coat fell on her shoulder and blocked the biting cold.
Savanna opened her eyes, only to see Brandon standing in the wind. The tenderness in Brandon’s eyes shocked Savanna. She wondered if she mistook
She wanted to take a closer look, but unfortunately, the tenderness in Brandon’s eyes had already disappeared.
His thin, cold lips parted slightly. “It’s cold in the yard. Go in and sleep!”
Savanna did not move but looked at Brandon without blinking. “Do you usually work so late like this?”
Brandon turned around and looked over. He thought, is it because she could see me from this place that she chose to sit here?
When Brandon thought that he had gotten Savanna’s concern, he felt warm in his heart.
Brandon said sincerely, “After returning here, I found that things here are quite complicated. Grandma is old and can’t work hard anymore. And I am the only man in the family. I have to work hard and manage the company well. In this way, my grandma could set her mind at rest.”
In the business world, everyone said that Brandon was cold-blooded and heartless.
However, only Savanna knew that Brandon was the most filial person in the world.
“Is Mrs. Young very strict?”
Sometimes, Savanna would imagine what kind of person Lorena was in her mind.
Brandon smiled faintly when he saw Savanna’s curious gaze. “I’ll take you to see her tomorrow. What do you think?”
“No, there’s no need for that.”
For some reason, Savanna did not want to see Lorena. Perhaps it was because Lorena was a legend in the business world, or perhaps it was because she was once Brandon’s ex-wife.
“Are you afraid of her?” Brandon stared at Savanna.
Savanna smiled awkwardly. She stroked the hair that fell from her forehead. “It’s not that I’m afraid. There’s no need to see her. After seeing Mandel, I’m going back to New York.”
The light in Brandon’s eyes dimmed when he heard that.
