Chapter 291
Brandon called Ben. He asked Ben to help investigate the Young and Davis families, especially the story Lorena told.
After hanging up the phone, Ben went to investigate.
At this time, Brandon’s mind was completely a mess. For some reason, he didn’t want to return to the Rose Villas.
Brandon walked on the dark streets of New York, looking so lonely.
Besides feeling apprehensive, Brandon was also suffering from fear. He had never felt so afraid before.
The phone in his pocket kept ringing.
After a long time, Brandon reached into his pocket and took out his phone to take a look. He saw the name Savanna on the screen, and the sorrow in his eyes grew stronger.
The ringing stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence. Just as Brandon was about to put the phone back into his pocket, the screen lit up again, with the sound of the harsh ringing.
Brandon pressed the answer button. “Hello.”
It was very quiet on the other side of the phone. If not for the light breathing he heard, Brandon would have thought that the call had ended.
After a moment of silence, he called out softly, “Savanna.”
At last, she heard Brandon’s voice. On the other side, Savanna was so excited that she burst into tears. Her fingers that were holding the phone trembled slightly. “Where … are you?”
Brandon lowered his eyes and felt so sad as he heard Savanna’s voice which was obviously restrained. “I’m dealing with some affairs. It’s so late, and why haven’t you slept yet?”
Brandon’s gentle voice, as well as the words of concern, suddenly warmed Savanna and made her distressed. All her worries and fears that had been haunting her for 6 hours instantly vanished.
She said with a trembling voice, “I can’t sleep without you.”
Brandon replied as he reached out to stop the car, “I’ll be right back.”
When Brandon returned, the villa was dark except for the two street lamps on the corridor.
He directly returned to the master bedroom.
In the master bedroom, Savanna stood by the window with her messy hair and thin pajamas. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she looked up at the door. The moment she saw Brandon,
Savanna’s hand that was holding a cigarette trembled.
After being stunned for a second, she pinched her cigarette and was about to rush over to him. However, just as her legs moved, her entire body fell to the ground. Brandon quickly stepped forward and held her into his arms. The two of them hugged each other tightly. Savanna buried her face in Brandon’s chest. Not long later, Brandon felt that the shirt at the chest was wet.
Savanna took a deep breath and tried to control her voice from trembling. “Where … did you go?”
Brandon feli Savanna’s nervousness. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. The coldness from Savanna in his arms made him distressed. He carried her horizontally to the bed. Brandon tucked her in carefully and took a deep breath, asking, “After I left, did you always stand by the window?”
Savanna did not say anything.
Brandon felt both distressed and angry.
He held her chin and lifted her up. Their gazes met. Under the light, Brandon saw tears on
Savanna’s pale face. His heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. “Why are you torturing yourself like this?”
Seeing Savanna like this, Brandon felt that his heart was broken.
“I thought … that you didn’t want me anymore and would never come back,” Savanna said irritably.
The shock and fear on her face looked so obvious. She was so nervous. “I don’t know what happened to me. Brandon, I thought about it for a long time after you left. Maybe there was something wrong with the medicine… I…”.
Savanna stretched her neck and kissed Brandon’s lips.
Feeling the softness and warmth from Savanna, who was teasing him, Brandon was instantly aroused and couldn’t resist such temptation. After all, he was a young man.
Brandon suppressed the desire in his heart and pulled Savanna away. Savanna gasped for breath. She stared at Brandon’s exquisite appearance with her burning look, asking, “Do you dislike me?”
