Chapter 31
In the past two days, he had been missing her all the time. Lighting a cigarette, he wanted to calm
himself down. But when the cigarette was burnt out, his heart was more restless.
Licking his dry lips, he put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray. He picked up his coat from the chair and put it on. While buttoning up his clothes, he walked out of the door.
In the Rose Villas.
Savanna called Leo, “Leo, the candles are almost burnt out. Bring two up.”
Leo hesitated for a while and said, “Mrs. Cassel, I’ll ask Debbie to bring it here.”
“Ouch…” Savanna’s scream cut Leo’s words.
“Bang!” A loud noise popping into Leo’s ears, he froze in place for a second. The nervous feeling instantly washed over him. He gripped the phone so hard, nearly causing the veins on his fingertips bumping out.
He called Mrs. Cassel several times, but she didn’t respond him. Lowering his head, he found the call has been hanged out.
Considering she was pregnant, Leo was anxious and rushed upstairs immediately.
After knocking at the door several times, he got zero response. Leo hurriedly hit the door open with his body.
Savanna was sitting at the table elegantly under the faint light. She was safe and sound. He breathed out and calmed down.
When he was about to leave the room, Savanna called him, “Leo!”
She stood up slowly and walked towards Leo. Her slim and fair hands reached up his shoulder, but Leo quickly took a step back, avoiding her touch. She found Leo was extremely respectable to her. Looking into his dark eyes, she smiled, “Leo, do you like me?”
Her sixth sense told her that Leo liked her. Her blunt question made the room even hot and dark, lingering with a weird feeling between both.
Without any emotion, Leo opened his mouth and said plainly, “Mrs. Cassel, I’m going out.”
“I know you like me.” Standing in front of Leo, Savanna blocked his way, black eyes flashed with a soft and bright light:
“Why don’t you admit that you like me? Are you afraid of Brandon?”
Leo replied her indifferently, “No,” he knew clearly that Savanna asked him this question deliberately intending to make him and Mr Cassel fiabi with each other
Knowing that Mr. Cassel would be back soon, Leo said, “Mrs. Cassel, Mr. Cassel is nice enough for you.”
“What do you know?” Savanna snorted. Finding Leo dared not to answer her question, she spatted him in a low and soft voice, “You are just a dog raised by him. He is the boss. You don’t dare to go against him a little. If I tell you I like you; are you willing to take me away?”
Leo gulped. What Savanna said was a great temptation for him. After all, he had fell in love with her long time ago.
However, he understood that she was cheating him. She just wanted to seduce him and screw up his relationship with Brandon.
Swallowing his complicated feelings into his stomach, he held an emotionless face, saying, “Mrs. Cassel, please behave yourself.”
Giggling, she pulled closed to him, her breath hitting his lips. She was as charming as a depraved goblin. Her soft and boneless fingers raised up to Leo ‘s chin before getting a good grip.
Her soft smile fainted when a car light radiating outside. She knew Brandon came back.
Good. She smirked inside.
Leo was not stupid. He also saw the car. He immediately pushed Savanna away but he used more strength in a hurry, causing her to lose the balance. Leo had rushed to the door, about to leave, when Savanna screamed and fell down.
He looked back, finding that she was lying on the ground and couldn’t get up. She covered her forehead with her hands tightly, and the air was even filled with the smell of blood. Leo had to step back and helped her up. Her head was hit by the table. Drips of blood were splashed on her fair forehead.
Leo was annoyed.
He helped her sit down on the chair and said guiltily, “Mrs. Cassel, I didn’t mean to do that.”
Although her hurt so badly that her body was shaking, she still calmed herself down and answered with a smile, “I know you didn’t mean it. I forgive you.”
At the same time, Brandon had already come upstairs,
When Leo was about to turn around and leave, there was a clear sound of footsteps coming from outside, which seemed to step right on his heart. It was impossible to go out at this time. Leo knew that it was useless to blame Savanna. He was so anxious that he began to look for a place to hide in the room
Before he could find a place to hide, the door was pushed open. Savanna suddenly jumped towards outside, which seemed to step right on his heart. It was impossible to go out at this time. Leo knew that it was useless to blame Savanna. He was so anxious that he began to look for a place to hide in the room.
Before he could find a place to hide, the door was pushed open. Savanna suddenly jumped towards him and threw herself into his arms. Her slim arms tightly wrapped around his strong waist.
Leo failed to push her away. Even worse, he turned around to meet the astonished eyes of Brandon. Of course, Brandon would not expect to see them making out in his room.
Brandon’s dark eyes gradually narrowed, with danger and anger flashing inside.
Leo pushed away Savanna. With a drip of cold sweat rolling down from his forehead to his jaw, he quickly explained to Brandon, “Mr. Cassel, Mrs. Cassel said that she couldn’t find candles, so she asked me to bring up. Mrs. Cassel has made a candlelight dinner for you. … I won’t disturb you.”
Leo felt that the room was so cold due to Brandon’s cold aura and he felt like being frozen. He kept silent and walked out of the room, heading straight downstairs.
Leo escaped, leaving Savanna and Brandon face to face.
Pretending to not see his furious face, she opened a bottle of red wine and a bottle of fruit wine.
After filling a glass of red wine for him, she filled her glass with fruit wine. She handed the glass to him, walked to him, slowly touched the buttons of his suit, and unbuttoned them one by one. When she took off his coat, he didn’t move or say anything. He just looked at her in anger.
After hanging his coat on the hanger, she held Brandon’s arm, leading him to the table and sitting down.
Savanna took the glass and sat on the other side of the table.
Glancing at him, she saw that his eyes were calm and expressionless. She smiled disapprovingly and said, “I fell down just now. Leo dare not to leave, so he stayed to take care of me. When he was about to bind up my wound, you came back.”
Her voice was coquettish.
She pointed at her wounded forehead to prove that she was injured.
However, Brandon could tell that she did it on purpose to make him unhappy.
“Really?”
Brandon looked coldly at her forehead, suppressing his anger.
“Why do you think I will misunderstand?”
“Of course you will.”
